What Elmedia Player from Eltima Software offers than VLC for Mac OS X does not?

• It's in the Mac App Store
• It has a clean, good looking interface
• It doesn't try to do too much
• The UX makes sense
• Have I mentioned it doesn't look like garbage?

Honestly, for all its versatility, VLC looks like it was designed in 2001... because it was. It's about as consumer-unfriendly as you can possibly get. 90% of what it does is of no interest to 90% of average consumers. For the other 10%, it's awesome.

VLC looks like it was designed in 2001... because it was.

Looks modern enough to me? Its usability could be improved, but I've also seen much worse with open source software.

So your point are: App Store. the GUI is nicer and simpler to use, OK Good point

My question is focus because VCL is free that is all

So is Elmedia Player. Only the Pro version costs money. Click here for a comparison of free vs. pro Elmedia Player. I suspect that a great number of people will be happy with the free version.

Oh I didn't know they had a free version also, thanks for the tip!

The version available from the App Store is about half the cost of the Pro version,, with features between the free and Pro versions from their site.

The Airplay feature of Elmedia sounds nice. Does it work with any Video Format?

And for free Video players with a nice design and also some nice features I would suggest to also try out Iina.

Well, I tested and I prefer VLC maybe I am part "of the other 10%"
Being honest, i don't install a software only because it looks nice, but if works then I keep it

Hi does that mean the one in the app store does not have all the features of the one on the Elmedia site which goes for $19.99?
When the one in the app store is only $9.99 ?
and they call it
Elmedia:universal video player?why don,t they call it Elmedia pro?
I,m confused.I don,t want to pay $19.99. $9.99 is more like it.
Hope some one answers my question.Have a good weekend.
