[Heart Break Kid]

i got a bunch of avi and mpegs of movies i occasionally like to watch - i was wondering if there is a better player then Quicktime i should take a look at

anyone who says WMP - :| - please - support M$ somewhere else - the mac version sucks a 12 on a scale of suctitude.

yep. VLC will play most things - and if it won't, MPlayer X will.

I'll third VLC!

As well as paying homage to that fine sig!

Chris, in agreement mode.

I haven't had much luck with VLC but it does support Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding, at least from M-Audio. The main version of VLC has been recently updated to 0.5.3 and M-Audio's version is still at 0.4.3.

Yes WMP for Mac sucks, but I put it on my computers because there are a few places that feed live vid, like music vids that only use it.
