bryyando Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 heres the predicament. we recently got our internet privelges taken away from us in summer school so i decided ill just watch some anime and other videos in my free time. plugged in my hard drive chose the file and it won't play and says quicktime needs to update. i need to find a video player that can install itself on the portable hard drive, and run on the hard drive because im not allowed to install anything on the computers.

A Nonny Moose Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Isn't there a portable VLC that will run off of a flash drive? If so, I'd suggest trying it.

xandiztxu Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 mplayer is a good choice too. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115435-need-to-find-a-video-player-for-a-mac/#findComment-817589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 mplayer is a good choice too. XBMC is based on mplayer. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115435-need-to-find-a-video-player-for-a-mac/#findComment-817696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitsune Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Isn't there a portable VLC that will run off of a flash drive? If so, I'd suggest trying it. Thankfully, most OS X applications are portable. VLC doesn't use an installer, you can just run it straight out if the disk image if you like.
