Great, stuff plays everything in Quicktime that means FrontRow that throw at it.

Fantastic!
With every release Quicktime gets more Powerfull then VLC!
Not that i have something against VLC, it's without doubt a great app,
but somehow nearly everytime i play something errors pop up or it crashes.

This just won't work for me... I have a ton of AVI files encoded with XviD and AC3, and quicktime says 'may not have the components to play this, blah blah blah' - and there's no audio when I hit cancel. So wtf. Sigh... And VLC likes to crash every 5 fsckin minutes, I have NOTHING to play my videos with other than waiting for them to convert in visual hub and importing them into iTunes.

Excellent! It does flv playback.

Coupled with Quicktime Pro, this becomes the ultimate conversion software.

Essential.

@ecable: try mplayer

THIS IS THE BEST.

I just banned VLC, not because VLC is bad, but beacause I only want to have one media-player :-).

Video showing how to download a Flash Video file from YouTube, using only Safari and its activity window, then watch the flv file with quicktime:

I don't see .wmv support on the list. So this won't interfere with Flip4Mac then, right?

@oldsystem: No, Perian will not interfere with Flip4Mac's WMV Player

if you watch many videos, this is a must-have!
