Repeat the process for other types of movie file.Click “Change All” and click “Continue” in the confirmation window.Expand the “Open With” section of the file info and choose Movist from the drop down menu.Right click on the file and choose: “Get Info” or simply use Command + I.Open the Finder window and navigate to a certain movie file (mp4, FLV, mov, etc).The best way to take the most advantage from Movist is to make it the default movie player. If the developer want to be serious with the app, Movist should have its own logo designed professionally. One reviewer said it’s the rip-off from one alternative to VLC logo. One thing that most people find annoying about Movist is the logo. And don’t forget to also peek into Preferences. It seems like Mplayer OS X Extended is the right player for my needs, so I've settled on that.There are a lot more features that you can access through the menus, most have their own set of shortcuts combination – good news for the keyboard people. I still keep MPlayer for now though because it is simply more reliable, and I can't be arsed to go dig up all my old DVDs and reencode them again right now. Depending on your source files and how you encoded your video, this may or may not be an issue, and I really do love a lot of stuff about it. However, I have found a number of my MKVs where unlike MPlayer it does not respect the proper scaling ratio for the video, resulting in everything being somewhat distorted. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out and following it as well. Movist has an even better interface, very nice feature support, etc.

Of course, if you want output to a QuickTime based device or piece of software having Perian as well may serve you well. It could still stand to improve in some ways, but overall it's excellent and is what I use for this purpose now, after starting with QuickTime and tons of random assorted codecs for AVIs way back, then moving to VLC (back when MPlayer didn't have a decent OS X version) for general title support as more stuff moved to MKV, then using Perian. It doesn't force subtitles to be formatted some particular way (like Perian does, the devs insist that their way is the only good way and that no configuration for people with worse eye sight or whatever should be allowed), it has no loading time for MKVs (a fundamental flaw of the currently available QuickTime), and so on. MPlayer OSX Extended, as linked above, is probably the current best player on the Mac, with excellent wide format support, sane defaults (you don't have to tweak stuff to just get going), nicely rendered soft subs (quite important with subtitled MKVs in particular), lots of extended options if you wish to use them available directly and pleasantly in the preferences as expected of a Mac app, and of course all the tiny command line tweaks can be entered manually if you wish. So does anyone know of or has anyone had experience with better alternative video players? I've heard that Mplayer OS X Extended, Movist, and Mplayerx are all viable alternative players, so I will make sure to check them out as well.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I used to use VLC, which did not require any "loading", but I found it to be unstable.

Is this the case because Mac OS X does not support subtitles natively or something?
The black seek bar fills up as the file loads. avi) I have to wait about a minute or so for the file to "buffer" or "load" before I can start watching. Secondly, when I play anime video files (which are usually h264 or xvid video files with subtitles contained in. For one, I dislike the Quicktime interface. I currently use Quicktime with the Perian add-on, but I feel that it leaves much to be desired.

I watch a lot of anime on my Macbook Pro and I was wondering if anyone else out there has an idea of what's the best video player/codec combo to use.
