MPlayerX supports 99% of video formats and is a mainstream playback tool under the MAC system. It supports MPEG, AVI, ASF and WMV, QuickTime and OGG \/ OGM, SDP, PVA, GIF etc. MPlayer can work under X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, and you can also use GGI, SDL (so you can use the various drive modes they support) and some low-level hardware-related drivers\u2019 mode. <\/p>\nHowever, MPlayerX is not perfect to some extent. One of the most frequently mentioned issues of MPlayerX is that it may crashes that is more often than in other common media players. Moreover, until now, the crashes problem has not been tackled properly. Secondly, while running MPlayerX, it occupies high CPU and it requires more CPU when OS X updates file reproduction. Then, it does not contain the proper playlist feature in spite of simple interface and comfy features. Last of all, MPlayerX doesn\u2019t support Retina display on OS X.<\/p>\n
