Product Description:
MPlayer OSX Extended is an unofficial extension of the MPlayer OSX user interface.
Development on the official MPlayer OSX frontend has been slow in recent years and MPlayer OSX Extended tries to change that. The project is focused on a steady pace and aimed at making MPlayer OSX what it ought to be: A simple but powerful video player.
MPlayer OSX Extended is not aimed at long release cycles and maintaining stable branches. To keep development simple and to focus on bringing the project forward, there's only one branch and no release numbers. Just ongoing revisions, of which each should be better than the one before.
Additions to the original project include:

What's with the Font Cache rebuilding? - Version: rev10, 7/21/2009 02:12AM PST

This product would be PERFECT if it weren't for the 20 second font cache rebuild every other time you use it.
Also, some newer WMV encodings (H264?) seem to stutter badly.
I hope both of these issues are seen to shortly. I am currently using VLC 1.0.0, and it has played every format I have without a hitch or hiccup. Both of these programs are highly recommended for your video playback arsenal!

I had already downloaded another program. It did not work at all. Then I opened my emaill from version Tracker and Voila! There this was: Mplayer OSX Extended for Mac OS X. I just bought this brand new Mac Book at the Apple Store. A friend sent me 2 wmv's to watch. Nothing on my Mac Book could play the videos, which happen to also be on Youtube. So, I did go there. But not being satisfied with not being able to view the downloads on my mac, I continued my search on the email and found this wonderful program. Abundant Gratitude to all involved in getting this to me thru Version Tracker.

In these respects, MPlayer absolutely shines for me. No stuttering when skipping ahead, and it opens/closes very smoothly. MPlayer has supported everything I've thrown at it with ease... mkv, m4v (with AC3 audio no less), mov, and more, and it doesn't even break a sweat with 720p. It does seem to be a bit lacking in some advanced options available in VLC, but that doesn't bother me in the least. It plays what I have and exceptionally smoothly with no hassles. I do believe this will not only be replacing VLC for me, but Quicktime as well.
