Easiest way to play videos side by side for comparison purposes?

[zanzar]

i want to play 2 different video files at the same time but when one half of the screen is one video and the other is on the other
or , i load the two videos and i cant change back and fourth instatly by clicking a button. i had a program like it but i lost it
it was really simple and good.
just load 2 video files and there is a button that when i put my mouse over it , it switches to the other video

You can do it in VLC and have the 2 video's side by side for comparison. Just read the docs or help file but basically on the first Menu label there is a selection (second from top) Multiple files - off you go!

Here's a batch file that builds an AviSynth script, then plays it using a specified media player. Drag/drop two video files onto the batch file.

echo v1 = DirectShowSource("%~dpnx1").Subtitle("%~dpnx1") > sbs.avs
echo v2 = DirectShowSource("%~dpnx2").Subtitle("%~dpnx2") >> sbs.avs
echo v1 = v1.Crop(0,0,v1.width/2,v1.height) >> sbs.avs
echo v2 = v2.Crop(v2.width/2,0,v2.width/2,v2.height) >> sbs.avs
echo StackHorizontal(v1,v2) >> sbs.avs
"G:\Program Files\SMPlayer\smplayer.exe" sbs.avs
del sbs.avs

Note: if you're using 32 bit AviSynth you must use a 32 bit player. Both videos must have the same height and color format (YV12, YUY2, RGB...).

Take a look at this program - you can have up to 16 video's in the one window. It was mentioned in an earlier post on the same subject. https://www.videohelp.com/software/AVPlayer

AVPlayer(Awesome Video Player) supports playing multiple videos simultaneously, up to 16 videos at once on each screen! With automatic hardware and software decoding acceleration support. It plays absolutely every video format out there, at lightening fast speed too.
