“Simple and powerful media player”

by Nick Mead about Movist

Movist is a simple but powerful player for Mac which distinguishes itself with its high quality capture features.

It supports QuickTime and FFmpeg and also supports subtitles. You can watch videos in full screen mode and it allows you to switch instantly between different aspect ratios from default to widescreen. It seems that Movist has been designed as a replacement for Quicktime although unfortunately, it doesn't support the Apple remote like the former does.

You can configure keyboard shortcuts to fast-forward and rewind Movist videos but it's the encoding features that will appeal to the majority of users. You can switch between Quicktime and FFmpeg on the fly which is something definitely not available with Quicktime with which you need Perian installed to encode into FFmpeg.

Extremely lightweight, great for subtitles and excellent for those that need to encode and decode Quciktime and FFmpeg formats, Movist is generally an excellent all round video player.

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to use
  • Excellent playback quality
  • Encodes Quicktime and FFmpeg on the fly
Cons
  • Doesn't support Apple remote

    Movist is not just another Mac player, set of its features seems to be superior to any other player, even on its current raw stage of development. Those are not necessary needed for each and every... More
