what is the best movie player to use for the mac.....

I use the dvd player that comes with osX but it did not play every movie I tied to watch.
I'm not sure what format the movie was in but I do know that it worked in a dvd player.

Typically, overlooking firmware hacks etc., the included DVD player app will only play standard DVDs encoded to region 0, or the region of your built-in drive, as well as Video_ts folders.

Quicktime is used for standard mpg, mov etc. files. It can also play divx,xvid once the plug-in is installed.

Better yet, do what most of us do, and download vlc and mplayer. They're the two all purpose swiss-army knife media players. What one won't play, chances are the other will.

I second using vlc and mplayer. They are top-notch.

thanks for the help. I'm going to try both vlc and mplayer.
