Synaesthesia Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I like MPlayer the best, but VLC was great too. MPlayer seems more stable... For Torrents I use Transmission - Freeware For music I like Cog - freeware, but that's just bcoz I have many ogg vorbis and musepack songs. If you have just mp3 stick to iTunes... Other Cool APPZ -> Seashore - image editor - Freeware XFolders - finder alternative - Freeware Minuteur - egg timer - Freeware Max - cd ripping - Freeware Gimp - image editor - Freeware (X11 app) flvthing - play flv, something neither MPlayer nor VLC do well - Freeware FFView - Image Viewer - Freeware Mac The Ripper and DVD2ONE - Rip DVD's and compress to single layer - Payware Backlight2 - Have screensaver as wallpaper (silly buy hey>) XAOS - Real time fractal zoomer, fun!

wow Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I use VLC all the time but i never tried mplayer. But to let it play almost evrythibg without errors, i had to do a few thing first. set video filter to deinterlace on. install flip4mac to let it play most of the mpg's. Set every video to open with vlc, didnt have to but i prefer 1 player for all files. And most important set output to opengl, without i ha to much crashes. Now i havent a file that didnt want to play. Ok real audio files but i dont want a full packet of {censored} on my computer, realplayer = {censored}.

Headrush69 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I like MPlayer the best, but VLC was great too. MPlayer seems more stable... For Torrents I use Transmission - Freeware I found the opposite. On Linux mplayer was king, but here on OS X I find VLC much more stable. For torrents after trying Tranmission, Tomato, Bittorrent, I've settled with Azureus. (It's just so feature packed and reliable.) Edit: Switched to Transmission some time ago. Newer versions are much better and SVN .80 version has selective downloading which I wanted.
