VideoNotepad 3 is a multimedia player and text editor integrated into one program. There is no one central reason for using VNP. That choice is yours. Although, in it's present build it eliminates the idea of having one program running for multimedia and another for text editing. You will not find a program like this anywhere on the web or on any overpriced software aisle. This program will allow playback of dvds, cds, audio files, video files, and a complete word processor right at your fingertips!
