not really pro if it does not convert, trim, or play a bunch of formats.. it's incredible there is still not a viable alternative for quicktime pro after so many years.. there is a huge market opportunity here, especially for pros.. cineplay would be a better alternative for this as it can export and trim. sorry guys but development is slow and the app is still in diapers.

I'm not sure who this is aimed at - but it's certainly not necessary for anyone i can think of. I use Apple QT Pro all the time (on 10.6.8) and it's still available for Mountain Lion as far as I can see - and much better value. The interface of this player may be a better match for FCPX - but that's about it.

$30 for a player is frankly outrageous. I see NOTHING in the demo which warrants more than $1.00. All the info this displays is already available with Quicktime. If not Quicktime X, then Quicktime 7 Pro. I'm not a fan of any app which launches in full screen. Or rather at 100% window size. This is merely personal preference though. The window can be resized. Full screen actually causes this to cover all 3 of my monitors but only play video on one.

I agree with Jobst but also with Elmer with regards to the one star. So to even things out I have given a similar but positive starring. In order that other readers get a genuine feedback from users of whatever the product is we should base our starring on the quality/userbility on our own experience.

Would you buy a new car only after seeing it on a photograph? Developers should offer a demo!
