I'm wondering which application people tend to use while playing MKV and other video formats on their MacBook Pro 2011 models?
I did tryout VideoLAN (VLC) but it seems like the OS X development has somewhat gone down the drain (I did never like VLC for Windows either as it's simply inferior to Media Player Classic with CoreAVC when it comes to image quality anyways), and it doesn't seem to support either Intel HD Graphics or AMD Radeon Graphics hardware acceleration? (Only nVIDIA GeForce hardware acceleration?). It also struggles ALOT when streaming 1080P MKV's wirelessly even though it works perfectly when running Media Player Classic Home Cinema with Combined Community Codec Pack and CoreAVC in Windows7 Enterprise 64-bit through BootCamp?
There are other recommended video applications like Movist, MPlayerX and MPlayer OS X Extended but both Movist (changed developer?) and MPlayer OS X Extended seems to have no ongoing development whatsoever? There hasn't been any updates or new releases of these applications for several months, while MPlayerX at least got an updated this month.
Which video-player do you find the best, and why? And does any of them actually support hardware acceleration from my MacBook Pro 2011's integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 card or at least my dedicated AMD Radeon HD6750M card?
