This program is a useful application that functions as a QuickTime player specifically designed for playing movies in a smooth and seamless way.
This software boasts a range of features, including full-screen or border-less floating windows, and convenient controls for scrubbing or queuing movies. Currently in early development, NicePlayer is functional, if not yet fully refined, and should be able to meet the needs of many users.
Designed from the ground up with dedicated movie-watchers in mind, NicePlayer offers all the features you might expect from a media player - and then some. Its user-friendly interface, for example, only appears when necessary, making it more convenient and easier to use. The UI also allows for double-clicking to change to full-screen mode, right-clicking to pause, and using the scroll wheel to adjust window size.
Another impressive feature is the ability to adjust playback size to arbitrary dimensions, which means users can even work while watching the movie. Additionally, NicePlayer lets you adjust window size when playing DVDs, which is great for those widescreen DVDs that often result in distracting black bars on both sides.
NicePlayer also offers the ability to create playlists, queue up multiple media files, and play them sequentially and automatically. And if QuickTime doesn't support the file format you wish to watch, no problem - NicePlayer's open plugin architecture can be extended to support other media playback engines (think DVD playback with VLC).
All in all, NicePlayer sets out to do exactly what its name implies - play movies "nicely" - and with its range of features and user-friendly interface, it certainly delivers on that promise.
