Hijacks your video preferences

I downloaded this because VLC was having trouble with some .wmv files. Wondershare played them fine and I thought Id just found myself another great option for playing video.

HOWEVER, I wanted to keep playing certain other movie types with VLC or Quicktime Player. I saw that all my movie types were now set to Wondershare Player -- no problem, I just used Get Info and changed my preferred player for those other types. But then a little while later I double-clicked a filetype I had set to open with VLC and guess what? Wondershare Player had hijacked my preferences and set itself as the default for all movie types again. I tried this a few times and Wondershare kept doing the same thing.

I find this behavior inexcusable and was about to delete the program. Only after looking through the applications preferences, under "Associations," was I able to control what Wondershare would (and wouldnt) open and have it stick. Im giving it two stars because it did play the .wmv files I couldnt otherwise have played smoothly, and I was able to stop it from hijacking my preferences, though not using the normal and accepted Mac method.
