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?

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.
