[QUOTE="nicholas, post: 31411"] I don't like VLC because for some reason, it eats up alot of RAM. I installed it on both my macs, and I checked the memory usage in the activity monitor and about 50% more than usual was either in use or "inactive," but not "free." Then I uninstalled VLC and rebooted, and my RAM was freed up again. I don't know why VLC does this...perhaps it's because it isn't a program that is "installed" but is simply mounted...or maybe because it maintains an internet connection? I have no idea how it works, and it works great in terms of playing many media files, but I'm telling you, it EATS UP MEMORY. [/QUOTE]
