Best thing I can suggest for you is Videolan - a nice media player with pretty good Mac support...

Yep, I used to use VLC too (when I had a Mac).

mplayer is better...but vlc is good if you have a file that has menus like a dvd....otherwise i would always go with mplayer..

Well, yes, 99 times out of 100 I'd use mplayer myself, on the command-line without a GUI in sight... but I think vlc provides a better out-the-box experience, particularly on a Mac where people tend to be command-line-averse

Very cool, just downloaded VLC and all of a sudden the files that Quicktime and Windows Nomedia Player didn't play are playing.

Cheers guys.
