VLC Version 1.0 is dropping frames badly when playing HD video, especially when the picture pans side ways.
I have recently tried Movist 0.6.4 and I am afraid to say that it puts VLC to shame. It plays most HD movies VERY well. It only has minor problems when playing HD video with DTS sound.
Come on guys, I am a long time user of VLC and cannot believe that the new upstart Movist is so much better.

Re: Dropping Frames Badly
Please provide: OS version, mac model and what sort of video you are trying to play (including codec).
Since Movist is open source (GPLv3), I am sure the work done there could be integrated into VLC, though it would depend on how different the architectures are. While there is competition there is room for people doing things better, or simply differently

Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.
