most of the preferences do nothing in terms of producing noticeable results.

It also has little support for AC3 audio, or really any video wrapper that isn't AVI, MP4, M4V or MKV.

I guess this is what happens when you port cellphone software to the desktop, but forget to make it more desktop functional. The GUI is very sloppily put together, and just generally awkward to use, but not so bad that it's unusable just clunky and oddball.

only the "Extended" version is really usable on G5'sĮven though this cannot be bought any longer, it's worth covering for those that do have it, and to help others gain more perspective with it.ĬorePlayer OSX is the absolute champion of resource efficiency, and is a master of x264 codec playback, but to be honest, that is where its good qualities end.

not anywhere near as codec capable as VLC.

struggles with some audio and some x264.

very simple and straight forward preferences (if that's what you prefer).

very effective disk cache option which will offer smooth playback from very slow media, like old CD-R.

frame dropping feature to help it smoothly play video that is slightly beyond your systems capability.

scrubs/scans through video better and more aggressively than any other player.

use extended for real media only, and the regular OSX version for all your other MPlayer needs.

The extended version, while newer, is less efficient and has some interlacing issues, so I use it strictly for real media, and a combo of MPlayer OSX and VLC for everything else non-HD. VLC can play real media also, but it plays very jerky, and with lots of resources available.

I have some very old real player formatted video I downloaded years ago, but would never install Real Player on any system of mine, nor should you, as it is spyware. Those three are comprised of two versions of MPlayer OSX (one optimized for G3 and one for G4), and the rev14 version of MPlayer OSX Extended (Tiger users need rev11), which is by far the best thrid-party real media player. There are various versions by various developers, but there are three versions that are very worth the HD space they use.

MPlayer is much more a lean and raw player compared to VLC and others, but it's quite resource efficient, and scrubs through video in a truly beastly manner.

the "Media library" below the playlist is sketchy at best.

the expanded preferences can really overwhelm some.

the best audio and subtitle sync repair of any player.

most tweak-able player (via its vast extended preferences).

So Leopard single CPU users should stick to 1.1.12. For Leopard users, the 2.xx versions are a bit more resource needy, and only worth running if you have a dual CPU system because 2+ is more SMP optimized, but that is really the only true advantage. I recommend you use 0.9.10 on Tiger, and 1.1.12 on Leopard. It's no MPlayer or CorePlayer in terms of CPU efficiency, but is still a lightweight compared to true resource hogs like Quicktime. VLC is the all-round most stable and capable player ever made available on any OS in my opinion. In all that time I have learned a thing or three about all the playback applications available, and the strengths and weaknesses of each.

To me, there is no better OS to play video on than Mac OS X, and especially on Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5), which as I'm sure you all know were the last two Apple OS to support PowerPC.Īll my life I have been a big user and collector of video since before I ever even used computers, but from 2002 on I have been willingly engulfed in digital video on Mac OS X.

I'm a big advocate of Linux and BSD for security, but when it comes to offline things, like playing video files and DVD's, I am very pro-Mac OS PowerPC.
