Trying to play a 2.7GB avi video. VLC and Quicktime would not do it, nor would MPEG Streamclip. XinePlayer played it no problem. Great work. How about a universal binary?

Nice movie player. Works well with my .mpg and .avi files. It also plays DVDs well.

Please keep improving it.

:-)

Sadly, every file I try to open says it can't read it. This is a shame, as the interface is much better and more Mac-like than either VLC or MPlayer. Fix up some bugs, add the "ten second skip" of MPlayer, and support all the major file formats, and it'll be a winner.

Although the true trump card will be whoever is first to play WMV9 video on the Mac. I've got dozens of anime fansubs that I'm waiting to play but can't (and no, Windows Media Player will NOT work, as they are in an avi container).

If you'd like to make XinePlayer the default DVD player (instead of Apple's player), use the Script Editor to create a new AppleScript file with the following content:

=== cut here ===
tell application "XinePlayer"
activate
end tell

tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
click menu item "Open DVD" of menu "File" of menu bar 1 of process "XinePlayer"
end if
end tell
== cut here ===

And then in the CDs & DVDs pane of the system preferences, set this script to launch when inserting a video DVD.

Very, very, very slow-w-w-w. It isn't replacement for QuickTime, MPlayer or VLC. (Unfortunately, I havn't G5/2GHz)
