What JustPlay lacks in pro features, it more than makes up for in overall presentation and utility-for the money this is a slick, more than capable Mac media player. But what JustPlay does it does well and makes up for any deficiencies by offering one of the most elegant ways to watch videos on the Mac. It’s also missing a few key features pro users depend on, like J-K-L keyboard shortcuts for backward, stop, and forward control, or support for displaying embedded timecode. To be clear, JustPlay is strictly a media player-you’ll still need QuickTime to trim or save movies to another format, nor does the app offer the complexity of something like VLC. Subtitle fans will go nuts over JustPlay’s extensive options for displaying text in your favorite font, color, and more. Launching the QuickTime Updater from the system tray. There’s no way to reposition subtitles on screen, however. You can also get to the Updater via Start Programs QuickTime QuickTime Updater.
Subtitles are where JustPlay really shines: Viewers can import existing subs (sorry, no closed captions), adjust delay, tweak font, color, size, stroke, and background color, and in most cases, download directly from with a single click-no web browser necessary. Support for loading external audio tracks located in the same folder and switching between different languages (or stereo and surround mixes) is another nice touch, as is AC3/DTS passthrough for those of us with receivers hooked up to their Mac.
Noise reduction or sharpness can also be added on the fly. JustPlay is far more flexible when it comes to viewing, offering a dozen different aspect ratio options, deinterlacing for older videos, and a handy Video Tuner to adjust brightness, saturation, contrast, gamma, and hue to your liking in real time. Take that, QuickTimeĬomprehensive format support aside, there are other reasons to kick QuickTime Player to the curb. JustPlay displays a wealth of information about your video and audio files from a convenient info pane.
