I've searched around for the best bet with Video Playback, the only things I've had any luck with is VLC. Though I only get reasonable rates if im in original size, I'm just looking for something that I can play video fullscreen with, on my Geforce 2, it'd be a pain to switch over to my Ubuntu install everytime I have the urge to fire up a good episode of Firefly, or Arrested Development or M*A*S*H. Any ideas?

I've had decent luck with mplayer-osx86 , handles full screen pretty well and the interface is a whole lot better than VLC.

 

And MediaCentral is very good for full-screen watching (also just a cool program).

 

I don't get dropped frames until I try to play high-res clips. I still can't see a 720p transport stream without skips, but normal downloaded movies/tv shows play fine.

CI/QE are needed for DVD playback... or else you can play it for a while and will just close... VLC by the way is one pretty good player for me, knowing it from linux.. Although I'm gonna try the other two above, cause they look pretty good

VLC fro me... :( by far..
