Product Description:
This is an unofficial extended version of the MPlayer OSX GUI.
While MPlayer is the superior media player for OSX and has a very nice GUI, it was lacking in access to the many powerful functions the backend provides and development hasn't been very fast. Since I had some time on my hands I decided to learn Cocoa and improve the MPlayer OSX GUI.
In the process, I also figured out how to compile a redistributable version of the mplayer core and provide a recent build from the SVN.
Changes to the GUI include:
- More video filter options (Postprocessing, Deinterlace etc)
- Support for styled ASS subtitles
- Audio and video equalizers (not yet interactive)
- Taking Screenshots
- Stream selection
- Various interface improvements
What's new in this version:
- Threaded integrated video display (gui no longer blocks video)
- MKV chapter selection
- Fullscreen device selection
- Easier application of preferences changes
- Size and color selection for subtitles
- Subtitle encoding selection fixed
- Various other small bug fixes
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
- Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.4 or higher

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

themacmeisterAlso, 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!

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.
