Loading ...To all our dear BT.net Mac users, if you’ve been having problems watching those lovely and gorgeous HD animes that are abundant on BT.net, I have some wonderful news for you!
Some of you might already know about all this, but I’ve just found out about it a moment ago. Guess I wasn’t that free huh, and when was the last time I made a post here too…? ^^;; This might not apply to all our Mac users, but those not using the newer Macs might benefit from it.
So, I’ve been having problems playing some of those sweet 720 and 1080 animes, and I’m using a MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo with a ATI Radeon X1600. It’s about 2 years old now, but it’s still not that crappy yet. The most ironic part is, I’m dual-booting Windows 7 RC1 on my MBP using Bootcamp, and the HD stuff plays fine there with CCCP and CoreAVC, what the heck! So I’ve been watching Tears to Tiara on Windows for the past few days… Bleh.
Finally, as i was searching around for some VLC skins and mods, when I came across an unexpected discovery! Apparently, someone else is creating an up-to-date version of MPlayer, called MPlayer OSX Extended! And I also rediscovered NicePlayer, which has been updated a lot!
So (the old) MPlayer, VLC and Quicktime with the Perian plugin has been my 3 main video players. Now I can discard MPlayer in favor of MPlayer Extended, and NicePlayer takes over Quicktime.
I’ve tried playing the same Tears to Tiara files that were choking my MBP with the older players, and now I can play them fine with MPlayer Extended and NicePlayer as well! Banzai! Have been considering upgrading to the newer Macs, but all those thoughts just flew right out the window. Heh.
Was tinkering around with the server yesterday, but all seems fine now. Will update the FAQ section with my new discovery later.
Oh, and if anyone will be going to Daicon tomorrow, I might just cross path with any of you and not know at all. lol. Have a great weekend, mina-san!

yeah man, OSX extended has always been great. And their new rev11 does wonders when downscaling 1080 resolutions, plus he always add the MT function too, which if you have some good cpu supports (most macs do) is amazing!

I wonder if there is one of those for Linux? And it is GREAT to see you up here again! It has been ages – it feels like having you and starfi3ld post belongs to the ‘old days’. Just as a double to the email (and as shameless advertising), here’s the Fate/Spiral Time link. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4801159/1/ . Tell me all about it! Email, review, it’s all motivation. Writing has been slow lately, I have to confess. I could use it.

you could always try a player called “korean media player” in short kmplayer or kmp, plays almost everything, mind you almost, only on rare times that it has failed me.

Not many Mac users on our site huh. ^^;; Need more converts!
Armed with the link, it’s time to read. =D Been looking for something to read. Will feedback as I read along.
Eto, we’re discussing Mac softwares here, not windows. So KMplayer does not apply. Thanks for your input though, might add that in the FAQ too.

Thanks, I didn’t know of either of those, both give me a nice speed boost. NicePlayer also seems to let me preview .mkv files in Quick Look as well which is a nice bonus.

Every body understands that humen’s life is expensive, but we need money for different things and not every one earns enough money. So to get quick credit loans or just term loan will be a proper way out.
