From silent film to movie with sounds and then to a new era of 3D movie, film industry has gone through major ups and downs and experienced several technological revolutions. Nowadays, more and more effects like 3D effect are added to movies to make the scene vivid so as to provide a visual feast for audiences. As the popularization of personal computer and tablet, people now prefer to watch movies at home rather than in the cinema.

All those lead to the popularization of player like Real Player or Windows Media Player.
