MPlayer OS X 2 beta 4 is out, check it out and report any problems. I'm especialy interested in how it will work on slower machines.

There are new mplayer & mencoder binaries compiled todey from last mplayer and ffmpeg CVS

Yes, finally sources are available in CVS repository. Enjoy it :). I think that they are quite well commented but I still want to write some documentation to let the software design be better understood. Now I'm still working on it in my spare time so the sources are all the time "hot and fresh".
Note that the the font files are not included in CVS and I want to remove the mplayer binary application too and distribute it as a separate release. Though the MPlayer OS X release will of course contain all these files so it plays movies out of the box.

Oh, I forget to put it in to the news... The hopefuly last beta is out. It's last chance tu submit a bug and I do all my best to fix it :). Go and check it out.

I was too lazy to make the disk image. The sit file contains only application other files are on the beta1 disk image.

Changes:
- The wide-screen aspect ratio should be fixed now, but I didn't test it (thanks to Devros). Please report me how it works.
- Fixed problem when setting video to fit screen when the video have lower aspect ratio then monitor.
- Added font menu and support for adding fonts -(Fonts folder inside app bundle Resources). The mplayer supports only PC TrueType fonts and the old "font.desc" fonts (should be enclosed in a folder).
- The size of subtitles were slightly decreased.
- The full-screen progress bar is back.... read more

- Removed persistence of subtitles and audio file from last played movie if none selected for next one.
- "Aspect ratio:" menu should now work.
- Changed size of some GUI elements to better accommodate longer localized strings.
- Added German and French localizations.

Beta version of MPlayer OS X 2 is out for testing and localizing user interface. Check it out!

MPlayer OSX is multimedia player with playlist, supporting playback of all widely used media types (MPEG 1-4, DivX, AVI, ASF, Ogg Vorbis, RealMedia, QuickTime Movie, MPEG layer 1-3, AC3, WindowsMediaAudio and more) and movie subtitles of various formats (MicroDVD Player, Subrip and more). It is based on Mac OS X port of MPlayer - Movie Player for Linux. This new version includes latest build of MPlayer binary and few features distributed as standalone application without need of additional installation of binaries, libraries and other stuff.

Finally works aac audio
Now you can play mp4 and new 3ivx files with audio

Now is mplayer and mencoder compiled with Xvid, for use xvid in mplayer type -vc xvid, in mencoder use -ovc Xvid. Quality is awesome....., but is slower than FFmpeg.

- fixed folder name
- compiled with actual CVS version LibSDL, MPlayer, libavcodec

This is last mplayer and mencoder compiled from CVS.
The last binary build of mplayer is on G4 much faster there is it.
If you have Mplayer OSX copy this file to /usr/local/bin (sudo cp mplayer /usrlocal/bin) or change path in Mplayer OSX, Preferences, path to mplayer: (default is /usr/local/bin/mplayer)
