What application does everyone use to play your video files (DivX, XviD, etc) ?? I was able to download the XviD plug-in for Quicktime, which seems to work fine, but are there any other programs that people prefer to use for playing videos?
Incidently it's also amazing at transcoding in realtime for people that want to do conversion formats ... and it's RTP/UDP Multicast streaming is super cool!!
The most fun was doing video wall type stuff with it, a while back a bunch of buddies all got together and we did a 6x6 video wall type setup with it across a few linux boxen (and a couple OSX boxen) and watched the Matirx in BIG screen LOL

This will open three windows containing the upper left, the middle and the
lower right part of a 3x3 video wall. The filter doesn't take care of gaps
between monitors.
It took us the majority of a day to set things all up to work properly, between that and the UDP broadcasting it was interesting, i remember it took a LOT of command line switches, but we finalyl got it working and watched the movie.
it's not perfect -- it doesn't sync the video or anything, it just takes it and processes as it can, but with decent enough machines it works pretty well. not really usable at the pro level if you need perfect sync, but fun to play with. Nothing falls 'behind' as far as sync goes, but there are frame drops, etc.
Also to get the vlc CLI in OSX, you have to navigate into the VLC.app (show contents), and I think it's called VLC and is in resources.
VLC also has a really cool web interface, it does so many things (you can activate web interface from OSX GUI, new interface -> web, then go to localhost:8080 -- think that's the default port.
"MplayerosX" works great for most divx movies, and sometimes i use "fullscreenplayer" - depends on the movie, some seem to work better on one more than the other. must be something in the way they are encoded.
