What is coral player?



CoralPlayer is a scam. If you go to their web site (which 


you really have to search for to find a way to get to the 


page) you will find a link that says that you can 


"purchase" CoralPlayer for only 95 cents. But if you read 


the rest of the site you will find that what you are 


"purchasing" is a 3 day trial. After that you are charged 


$19.95/month. By "purchasing" it you automatically agree 


to be billed after 3 days and then monthly after that. It is 


ludicrous that you would rent a piece of software to do 


something so simple as play a video and the per month 


price is what you would expect to pay for the average 


video player which you then own forever. I have seen 


reports of some videos claiming to require CoralPlayer to 


play. Apparently your ordinary player can play the part 


that says you need CoralPlayer to play the video. What 


this means is that the makers of CoralPlayer have 


invented a market for their software. A small portion of 


the file will play with any player. The rest of the file is 


presumably in a proprietary format which they created for 


the sole purpose of distributing videos which you then 


have to pay them monthly to view. Complete scam, total 


waste of money.
