I've searched online and found some advice but I'll post here for the latest....

Anyway now that I own a MBP I run into some video formats it won't play. What is the best all around video player for a Mac?


Thanks guys

There are a few different tools that will help immensely with video playback on the Mac. Three things I recommend installing for any new Mac user are:

1. VLC Media Player. This is an open source media player that will play most popular and some of the more obscure video formats.

2. Perian. This is a package of different codecs that enhance Quicktime's repertoire of formats it can play.

3. Flip4Mac. This is an add-on for Quicktime to help it play Windows Media Player video.
