Realplayer VS QuickTime VS VLC

[Prohybe]

Which of these programs is the best to watch downloaded movies on MacPro?

 

[ShoG]

VLC will handle everything including wmv. Mplayer OSX Extended is another, also free.

I prefer VLC Player, as it plays more file types than the other two.

 

[Krazy Bill]

MplayerX. It's free on the App Store. (I dumped VLC for it).

I have both MPlayerX and VLC,

MPlayerX
Pros
-has better quick scan
-has better user interface
Cons
-wmv files do not play nice
-some 1080p vids play slow motion for no reason

VLC
Pros
-plays anything perfectly
Cons
-not as nice of a interface as MPlayerX
-does not scan as nice as MPlayerX but still scans good .


I like to use MPlayerX as my default player but if I encounter issues I always know that VLC will get the job done.

I have had nothing but good experiences with VLC. Very useful!
