Handles FLV files better then VLC or Perian in QT Player, loading the files instantly and accurately scrubs within the file.

It looks better than VLC
It handles more codecs than QuickTime
It can even use QuickTime to decode movies
And the subtitles are the best in the world. Period.

Movist is the best movie player of them all!

This player shows formidable for my needs. VLC is very good, but the interface of Movist caught me. It's very simple, complete and direct. I like and recommend for those people who use GOM Player on windows, like me.
