VLC has a Mac version. I don't know how good it is, though.
- xenophanes 15y agoIt's fine apart from occasionally crashing, usually when you open a video or skip around. Generally better than quicktime for watching videos.
- X-Istence 15y agoInstall Perian to add more codec support to Quicktime. I've found that sometimes Quicktime works better than VLC when using Perian.
- xenophanes 15y agoI have Perian but quicktime lacks VLC's hotkeys for jumping forward/backward and has much worse control over playback speed. Quicktime 7 also, FWIW, lies about what playback speed it is using. You can drag the slider and then time it and it doesn't play at the speed it's supposed to.
- hexley 15y agoj,k,l under QT 7 control playback speed.
- ugh 15y agoWell, VLC isn’t really comparable with iTunes. That’s like comparing Lightroom with Photoshop.
- scottschulthess 15y agoVLC is great for watching video. It'll play anything. It's either that or quicktime+perian.
- Hemospectrum 15y agoMPlayerX has fewer weird bugs and a nicer interface than VLC, and is free of the lag issues that Perian displays with certain formats.
- zyb09 15y agoVLC doesn't really manage your media, does it? It just plays it.
