VLC

also, QuickTime plugin's and MPlayer

Anyone else think this kind of information should become a sticky? I see the same question about AVI's asked every other day (there is a search, but that's not always perfect).

I think we should have a RULES OF MAC

#1 Google will answer 90% of your questions in the first five lines.

#2 Check VersionTracker and MacUpdate before posting.

#3 If QuickTime doesn't play it, VLC probably will.


That being said, I realize some people want a fast answer, and don't want to download some crap player when everyone else is using a MUCH better application.
