"I don’t like Apple’s QuickTime player. It’s stupid like Windows Media Player. I’d like a QT alternative that performs better than QT. Is there any option on alternative to QuickTime?

file formats, many people may prefer QuickTime player alternatives to view movies on Mac computer. If you’re also wondering a QuickTime alternative Mac, this post would be helpful to you. It introduces 5 free QT alternatives for Mac computer.

Part 1: 5 Free Alternatives to QuickTime for Mac Part 2: The Best QuickTime Alternative Mac – Free Blu-ray Player for Mac Part 3: Extension – All-inclusive QuickTime Alternative Mac – QT Converter

Part 1: 5 Free Alternatives to QuickTime for Mac 1. Free Blu-ray Player for Mac Leawo’s Free Blu-ray Player for Mac is an all-in-one

media player combo. As QuickTime player alternative, Leawo Free Blu-ray Player performs even better. It

could work as free Blu-ray disc player, free DVD player, free HD video player, free audio player and free ISO

file player. Different from QuickTime player, which has no support of Blu-ray disc playback, Leawo Free Blu-

ray Player is a complete region-free Blu-ray disc player.

It supports almost all video formats for playback, and

multiple audio decoding technologies like Dolby, DTS, AAC, TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc.

2. VLC for Mac

VLC has multiple versions upon Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux. The VLC for Mac is without doubt a

wonderful choice as QT alternative. It is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files like videos, audios, DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. Like Leawo’s Free Blu-ray Player for Mac, this alternative to QuickTime player also don’t need any codec package. However, it could play Blu-ray disc on Mac, while Leawo Free Blu-ray Player for Mac could.

3. MPlayerX MPlayerX is another open-source Mac video player that is quite similar to VLC. It’ll play a wide range of video and audio files (again without the need for any additional codecs or software) and has a few other

hidden features, such as multi-touch and Apple Remote support. The interface is based on that of QuickTime’s

with the same minimal approach and one feature I love about MPlayerX is the bookmark feature which

remembers where you played up to last time – something which I think every video player should have.

4. XBMC XBMC is another open-source media centre which can play most types of video, music and picture. The interface is very customizable (there’s a load of different skins and plug-ins available for it from their website) and the

program is completely open-source, meaning that almost anyone can develop a feature for it. Although I prefer Plex

for usability and features, XBMC is a very good (and completely open-source) alternative and is most definitely

worth a look at least.

5. MPlayer for Mac

MPlayer is a free and open-source media player. The program is available for all major operating systems,

including Linux, Mac OS X and other Unix-like systems, as well as for Microsoft Windows. It could play CDs,

DVDs, Video CDs, Blu-ray discs, videos and audios.

MPlayer can also use a variety of output driver protocols

to display video like VDPAU, the X video extension, OpenGL, DirectX, Direct3D, etc. It can also be used to

display TV from a TV card using the device, or play and capture radio channels via radio. Without doubt, MPlayer

could be a wonderful alternative to QuickTime.
