FlyingHat Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I was wondering if there was a decent player out there that was capable of outputting video on something other than Quartz/CoreVideo. I know mplayer can be compiled to use SDL output, but I'm really not sure how to accomplish that. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz/CoreVideo are an integral part of the video display. It's what the OS uses to write stuff to your screen. You can't "replace" it with something else...

Basically, I saw at one point that someone had done a recompile of mplayer, and I was just wondering if there was anything else out there that played video files decently. Since I don't have a nice onboard Intel card, I'm stuck using my NVidia card. Needless to say, playing video files fullscreen is a terrifying thing.
