Love the Mac > Download of the Day: NicePlayer (Mac)

Lifehacker, the Productivity and Software Guidehttp://www.lifehacker.com [Lifehacker, the Productivity and Software Guide] The highlights: The playback window's size is adjustable with your scrollwheel, the control overlay only appears when you hover over the screen (kind of like iTunes' video control), and of course, NicePlayer has a fullscreen mode. The player still uses the Quicktime engine to power your video, so you might still want to download Perian to get all your video codecs working.

Tuaw.com[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): Fortunately, instead of bookmarking the plethora of codec download pages and backing up loads of installation disk images, a new plugin called Perian brands itself as a "swiss-army knife for QuickTime," as it aims to help solve all our video format woes. Perian supports an impressive list of codecs, including DivX, XviD, 3viX, FLV (y'know, those Flash files you can save but can't play because Adobe's Flash player doesn't seem to install an actual GUI front end?), AVI, and much more.
