ROBOTANK  I quite like MPlayer OS X Extended, and I use it as my default video player. For some reason, though, I've never been able to get its DVD playing feature to work properly. After opening a VIDEO_TS folder, MPlayer invariably hangs or just doesn't do anything. I'm wondering if it's because it's not capable of reading encrypted DVDs, but I can't find any documentation on this either way. If this is the case, it might be nice to be able to direct MPlayer to an existing copy of libdvdcss so it could decode encrypted VIDEO_TS. I would appreciate any feedback on this matter.

ILGAZ  So, a single Developer/Packager can make a 10.4/PPC compatible Application which is also 10.6 64bit.

You should notify multi billion dollar companies about this... They keep dropping 10.4 and even 10.5 /ppc support using Apple as excuse. See, with stock XCode, one can do this kind of support, backwards compatibility.

Long live open source and caring developers really.

DR. GIRLFRIEND  MPlayer Extended's in the house - and now with 64bit goodness!

I haven't used Mplayer Extended for a while because I'd been satisfied with Movist and VLC, but the latter two apps are having issues under Snow Leopard: Movist chews through memory like Jaws on a surfer and VLC is acting stupid by hanging/crashing on exit. MPlayer Extended to the rescue!

After install, this message appeared: fontconfig needs to update its font cache; this may take a few minutes (it did), but once completed, it was smooth sailing. Setup and configuration was a breeze, unlike VLC, which tends to have necessary settings hidden under arcane menu options.

Very pleasant GUI and smooth, unjittery playback. Memory usage was impressively low.

Unfortunately, I did run into a few problems:

Remember last played movie and position doesn't work. (playlist option).

ESC does not make fullscreen shrink to small screen it closes movie entirely! Oops! Not good. Most players just shrink the screen, not close it. I'd like to see an option to change this annoying behavior.

Still, MPlayer Extended is a great improvement from previous versions and is good enough to use as your default media player. Nice work, devs. Thanks!

NONTROPPO  The new updates for Snow Leopard are fantastic, my CPU use has dropped considerably. This is a very solid media player, and I use both this and VLC as each have their respective strengths and weaknesses; both a substantially better than Quicktime + Perian for my needs.

SUNDAYS  Works very well. But I recommand VLC.

WERTY  The best video player for mac os x

NYMPHE  Very good player. I always prefer it to VLC. I was using Movist for a long time but some times it does crash and doesn't work properly.

The only thing which I miss from Movist is that in Movist the subtitles in wide screen movies are on the bottom side of the screen, not the movie. To be more clear about that; if some movie is wide screen and you have horizontal black bars on the top and bottom side of the screen, Movist shows the subtitles there, whereas Mplayer shows them directly on the movie.

Is there any possible way of utilizing the whole screen at Mplayer?

JICHI  Best choice in Mac for those who always watch movies with Unicode SSA/ASS subtitles like me!

I hope there will be more options to render the subtitles in different ways (Currently (rev11) only resize is supported. ), such as options to change the transparency of the subtitle which is supported in Korean KMPlayer for Windows.

Anyway, thanks to the Author, I can enjoy my Anime collections in Mac now!!
