EXORZIST  It's a nice application to play movies. It's very fast and responsive. I tested it with various files. It also has a "Desktop Background" feature, but the icons on the desktop are un-clickable, so it's not so much fun to use it while working. I hope that will change. You can also setup the fullscreen-transition, so it can go instantly-, fade- or zoom- into fullscreen.

One feature I would really like to see is a "fullscreen-movie-wall" function, which would play 1...16 or more movies at once. This could provide some very artistic possibilities. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no other player out with a feature like that, not even a commercial one(?). Killer-app-potential?

RADIORHAEEM  Looking forward to trying this out but the first thing I noticed is the app's icon.

This is a straight rip off of MacRabbit's VLC Makeover Icon Kit available here:

If you zoom in on the icon for Movist you will even see the small "VLC" in the metal-ish border of the icon at bottom center.

Get your own icon!

SACHI  Very nice player, but I cant get subtitles in .txt format to work, it just say "cannot read subtitle" (tried differet encoding and no luck).

VLC can read this subtitles with out any problem.

Some times has isue with sound.

Beside that good product and price :)

ROBOTANK  I'd never even heard of this player before today, and I must say I'm quite impressed. It's got a sleek interface, lots of options, handles a wide range of file formats, and feels more responsive than any other player I have. It also handles MKV files better. I'm definitely going to give this a try as my default player for a while.

LANOUVELLECHAIR  Movist now support sub/idx subtitles but why are they so big ?

I think this is a sort of auto-size but it's really big when the sentence are short. Weird.

Changing size doesn't work.

ANG  I think sub are vectors when idx is an index for each character...

Srt is text...

Movist is FABULOUS !

ANG  The interface is CLEAR !

All the dreamed options are here !

You can switch between ffd or quicktime...

I have one thing to say :

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO PLAYER ON MAC...

Goodbye horrible quicktime,

goodbye VLC (not bad of course, but really under Movist in term of aesthetical and ergonomical points).

Big thank you to the developper

CINDI168  This is a great piece of software, it's much faster than vlc and the interface is much sleeker. However, I just updated to 0.6.2 and i was watching a xvid .avi file and the sound was choppy but the video was fine; i then used vlc to play the file and it played just fine. I wondered if the issue was only present in 0.6.2, so i reverted bak to 0.6.1 and the problem was gone.

TRANCE  once again audio with wmv using ffmpeg is broken with 0.6.2 .....this seems to be a recurring theme and something you'd think they would have found the source of the problem previously
