BeyondPlayer (originally called Source Player) is an open source video player for English learner. It supports almost all common video types and playback functionalities.
What makes it unique is its dedicated features for English study, such as:
- View definition in pop-up dictionary

For the moment, it supports MacOS only, but I hope it will support Windows soon.
