Hello all!

Is there a .MOV movie player out there other than Quicktime? I hate apple's player, even if you ask it to associate itself with nothing, it still somehow manages to monopolise any and all AV playback...BADLY. It's limited, slow, intrusive.....Ahh you can see where I'm going with this :D Generally love macs though for their strong points, music and imagery ;)

Media player Classic.
Classic no messin style. comes bundled with a masive codec pack and plays pretty much anything thing you throw at it. Its free and its nothing to do with microsoft.
