TONYBOY  Finally, a sophisticated, elegant, and versatile player on Mac OS X. I look forward to seeing this one evolve and grow!

DONG-YOUNG  After trying several popular video players, I personally found Movist to be the best. VLC had crash problems, Mplayer sometimes had "squeaky" audio, and Quicktime had quite a number of minor annoying problems. I'd say Movist is perfect so far except for one problem. From time to time I experience choppy audio even though the video remains, particularly with MKV files.

TESLANAUT  Holy CRAP this version (0.6.6) needs to fix that Memory problem. It devoured ALL MY RAM playing a 720p MP4 video. Definitely need to fix that problem.

MAGENTIS  + Speedy seeking and skipping

+ Very pleasing to the eye (especially with the BlackMod)

+ Subtitles are recognized painlessly and are easily adjustable

+ Stable (memory leak seems fixed with 0.6.5)

+ Great codec support

+ Range repeat option

- Wonky with some vob files and does not recognize vobsubs yet

- No option to set a default width to stretch to

- Moderate CPU (The latest VLC uses more on average. Mplayer less)

- Video equalizer settings reset when quit

- Playback speed adjustment works only some of the time

- When repeating a movie that's been stretched it defaults back to the original resolution

Most of my negatives are minor (except the first). Movist has a great feel and I've come to prefer it over VLC and MplayerExtended.

BLABLABLA@DODGIT.COM  I was fearing they stopped developing.

But as I seen at the project-page, they did some work @ Sep 06:

dx/sub subtitle display fixed.

some memory leak fixed.

snow leopard compatible.

Still no download available, but it looks good. I hope they will make the source-code also snow-leopard compatible. Cheers!

BTW: Movist uses more CPU than every other player, but it's also very fast and responsive (which comes with a price).

NYMPHE  I don't understand why they don't release a point version like 0.6.5 to rescue us, Snow Leopard users, from the huge memory leak. If I want to watch a movie of more than 1 GB, I have to stop in the middle of the movie, quit Movist, and then re-open it.

Are there any nightly builds for Movist? Or can someone build it from the available code? Because I can't. :)

Just this review can show how good Movist is. I simply don't want to go back to VLC or MPlayer Extended.

DR. GIRLFRIEND  Movist is usually pretty damn awesome, but this update is bad news on Snow Leopard. There's a huuuge memory leak -- it gobbles up over 2GB of RAM playing a simple .avi file on my system. Stay far away if you're on Snow Leopard.

Use VLC until this issue gets fixed.
