Upload it to Virus Total and see what a whole bunch of AV products say
about it.

Well, you've done a great deal to put my mind at
ease about Potplayer. Only one of the hundred or so
virus checkers at VirusTotal came back with a
negative reading on the Potplayer installer .exe
file. That single virus checker that came back
negative was something called Baidu. Never heard of
it.

The rest all called it clean.

I think I'm going to take a chance on Potplayer and
install it on the rest of my machines. It's a slick
little video player. It does everything I've been
needing in a video playback program for a long
time.

You can use Wireshark to see if or where it sends info about your vids.

Good. I'll give that a try.

I've used VLC for years. But as I mentioned
earlier, what it won't do is go into a folder in
Windows Explorer and play the clips one after
another. With VLC, you double click on a clip and
it plays it. To play the next clip you have to
unload the program and double click on the next
clip.

If you select all of the clips when you open a file in VLC they become
a playlist and you can click the next item in the playlist button to go
to the next one. Or right click and select next. You can also select
open multiple files from the media menu.

Will it save the audio to a separate file while playing?
