SMPlayer itself is a frontend for the highly popular MPlayer which can play most media formats right of the box. It’s a multi-plattform player available for Windows and Linux. The portable version of SMPlayer is available for Windows operating systems.

As it was packed in 7z format, users have to install 7-zip to unpack the package, but not sure if there are other packers that support the 7z format by now. That is a bit unfortunate and it would have been nice if another format would be available as well. SMPlayer is ready to play any video file that you throw at it after uninstallation. Just start the player and load the video that you want. The portable and installation version of SMPlayer use virtually the same amount of computer memory when running.

SMPlayer Portable comes with several themes that can be applied. The differences between the portable and installation version are the following:

• The ini will be written in the SMPlayer folder
• Nothing is written to the Windows Registry
• Default Home folders are not created. Screenshot folder for instance would have to be created separately in the root directory and a path would have to be edited in SMplayer
• No File associations

The main use would be to put the portable version on a stick and use it on computers that do not allow installations and only come with Media Player installed.
