You can get the latest version of MPlayer.app (the "fork") here: https://sites.google.com/site/hermihg/
I wouldn't say it's the best one, since MPlayerX it's really good as well, but I do find MPlayer more atractive because of:
1. Player design. It's really eye-candy, I like it more than MPlayer X and most of the functions I use (chapters ordering, audi or subs switching) can easily be reached through a prompt window inside the video (which I wasn't able to do that on MPlayer)
Besides, fullscreen controls has been completely redesigned making it more gorgeous than the official rev14
2. Hi10P. I watch a lot of anime, and Hi10p has been the new profile almost every "serious" fansub has been rolling out. It also supports Ordered Chapters.
3. CPU Usage. I'm not sure if it's because of the MPlayer 2 binaries, but MPlayer.app performed better than MPlayerX on a 720p and 1080p Hi10p MKV. 720p used around 40-50% while MPlayerX used round 90-100% (this is on my MacBook Air 2010).
What MPlayer needs it's to migrate all these fixes done by Hermi to the original fork at github, and after that, move it to the Mac App Store.

Then I tried a mpg fil, asked MP to drop frames and after many many minutes, like 10 or so, it ran quite nicely. But 10 minutes?
An mp4 file ran for a blink with sound, then nothing.
On VLC 1.1.5, about everything runs fine.
I also noticed the font-cache have to rebuilt on every start which is odd. Why no just on first run?
I will try mkv-files but I'm not holding my breath. Why would it work better with just those?
Anyone can recommend a specific version for mkv-files? I mean some earlier version must have been quite good, no?
I will adjust my rating when a usable version shows up.

This being a stark contrast to my experience with mpeg and divX AVI where I had recurring audio sync problems and an close eternal start up time before playback commenced.
Any clues why this could be?

But I am holding on rev12, since rev13/rev14 are buggy. On on hand, the new subtitle language system is not better than the one in rev12 where u can specify how to match the subtitle files by name, cus most subtitles made in my country actually do not always have proper encoding. On the other hand, it could not play many RMVB and MKV video which it used to.
Now, instead of fully upgrading to rev14, I only manually replaced internal mplayer within rev12 app with that from rev14. And it works better especially for 1080p video.

It's also good to note that different requirements from users around the world can give a different experience for users with different priorities of available features.

This occurs using both the MT and standard mplayer binaries. Log file does not indicate anything erroneous. A shame...

- Most RMVB: Movie plays for arround 15sec and then stucked. I have to killall MPlayer OSX Extended to force quit.
- Some AVI:: MPlayer OSX Extended reports crash and asked me to select which mplayer to use, when I tries to play the movie.
Besides, VIDEO_TS still doesn't display well.
