I can't say enough about how important this one is. It's smart about multiple displays, and can be configured in such a way that it always get's the right display.we have two different types of projector (one is 1920x1200 resolution the other is 1280x800), and VLC is the only player that can be configured to always open the video fullscreen on the projector and put the controls on the primary display.
I use it professionally in an audiovisual company I started a few years ago, for screening films on huge screens outside, and I've tried several alternatives (often to address problems that turned out not to be VLCs fault, like the fact that Apple ProRes format literally cannot be played back reliably on a laptop computer at high resolutions, including in Apple's own players) only to be horribly disappointed in them. It has its quirks (the glitch when switching between videos in a playlist is annoying as hell), but when it comes down to it, there is nothing comparable, at any price. I can't say enough good things about VLC.
#Pro video formats 2.2.0 install#
The best you can do at the moment is install this to see thumbnails in Quick Look for some video formats: Quite a lot of Mac users (especially those that work with a lot of video formats) have been waiting for something to fix this Quick Look issue for some years now. In a nutshell, things like Perian that used to allow Quick Look (not to be confused with the QuickTime Player) to preview a bunch of video formats got hosed when Apple switched over to "AV Foundation" or something.Ĭonsidering how many less video formats work with Quick Look after "upgrading" from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I personally consider it "depreciated" at least in principle.
See the post at the bottom of the link above. Here's more info on the change Apple made here with details on the issues it has caused with Quick Look: AFAIK, there's been problems with building new plugins when it comes to video codecs since these Apple changes:
