OK I need a movie organizer that when u pick a movie it either opens the proper player(vlc,Windows Media, quicktime etc) or has the same amount of functionality that VLC has. And it has to be free. lol. Please respond if there is something.

what's wrong with using VLC or MPlayer then?

Cellulo has some sort of support for MPlayer integration, but I've never tried it so I don't know how well it works.

Um, the Finder?

Oh, you want someone to do your research for you! I'll bite. Besides Cellulo, there's also Metadata Hootenanny. A commercial alternative is iVideo.

... like something that plays many formats. Not just quicktime. Like it just shows the files in an organized way but opens the respective program (eg. VLC quictime WMP)so i can have my avi, rm, and wmv live in harmony

I was kind of joking before, but now I'm serious: Why don't you just use the Finder? You can put your videos (or aliases to them) in one folder and double click to view them in the default player.

On a side note, iVideo is a lot nicer than I remember. I'm seriously thinking about buying it.

iFlicks looks like it would be what you need, except it appears to use Quicktime exclusively.

Uhh it plays AVI doesn't sound QT exclusive to me, I've never been able to do .avi files in Quicktime player.

Anyway, I think they stole my name... dang should have trade marked it Anyway, uhh, yah, I kinda wanna buy this if it's for sale, if it's not for sale and just free I want it even more

That said check out play list player it's only quick time compatible though.
