[QUOTE="krs, post: 1839706, member: 67742"] Nice list, lifeisabeach. There are a number of apps I never heard of. First one that intrigued me was IINA - specifically your comment: I wasn't sure what you meant by that, how faster, it just plays a video...maybe faster to start playing?? And "more efficient" - again, I can't wrap my head around what 'more efficient" means when it comes to a media player. Anyway, I downloaded it, just squeezed in with my current macOS, ElCapitan, which is the oldest macOS IINA is compatible with. Download and installation was quick. Then I tried the first test, playing a DVD (which is one media people are having trouble with occasionally, especially with the rgion settings) Well, to start with, IINA wasn't fast to start playing the DVD, after I dragged the DVD on my desktop to the IINA window, IINA started cycling through all the VOB folders on the DVD which took well over a minute and at the end, the IINA window just closed - none of the DVD played. I tried several methods to get a DVD to play using IINA, but it won't - it shows up as you can see in my first screen shot, but all I get is a black window with a faint control screen. So what is the trick to get IINA to play a DVD? [ATTACH=FULL]30910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]30911[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
