kaworu nagisa Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Well, just like in topic title. Which codecs pack and player are the best, can runs movies without problems? Which one supports subtitles in raw text format, build-in in file (i mean mkv or ogm ie.)? I have various problems with QTime, VLC and mplayer - sometimes file doesnt want to open, sometimes i cant rewind or fast forward... Hope thats a good category, if not... please move thread.

cavillor Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 QuickTime with Perian, with RealPlayer as back-up, plays all the anime I've come across. (I'm assuming from your avatar -- which is awesome beyond words, because Eva is awesome beyond words -- that anime is mainly what you want to play.)

kaworu nagisa Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Haha.. yes, i love anime but not only . So, that should help me? How about upgrades of QT - codecs are removed?

Synaesthesia Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 QuickTime with Perian, with RealPlayer as back-up, This is my recommendation as well. Plays pretty much anything. Seriously. Even flv! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70949-best-codecs-pack-for-osx/#findComment-503833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neovo Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 On leopard's frontrow, there is a problem with showing videos with subtitle. I'm using perian codec. How to fix this?

FUKKU Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I like the flip4mac plugin for WMV, perian for everything else, and VLC for the 2 or 3 files that perian refuses to play.

cavillor Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Perian and VLC are pretty much equal in terms of power, in my experience. I don't even have VLC installed on my computer anymore, just QT + Flip4Mac + Perian, and RealPlayer. Purging old applications from my hard drive puts me in a sort of Zen state.
