QuickTime is nice but since Apple yanked the full-screen out of the free version some time ago, it has little value other than playing QT Movies. With so many other viewers available for the Mac, QuickTime Pro just isn’t a smart buy at $29.99 for mere full-screen viewing. Now, if you wish to convert movies to the iPod format or need 24 channels of surround sound, then sure, grab it if you want it. I’m looking just for some full-screen action and a bit of a better way of playing my QT movies. Thanks to MacZot, I found it for $12.
Many Tricks, which we told you about its awesome app switcher Witch last week, brings to your screen, your full-screen, yFlicks. With yFlicks, you are now able to watch any file QuickTime can play as well as manage all of your files. With the now very common iTunes-like interface, Many Tricks lets you manage all your files in folders (Groups) or dynamically via Smart Groups. yFlicks also allows you to use your Apple Remote so you can sit back and enjoy your library of movies from the comfort of your couch. Add in the ability to download and view videos (and save them locally to your hard drive) right off such sites as YouTube, Google Video, DailyMotion, CollegeHumor, MyVideo, SevenLoad, and ClipFish, the standard $20 price even sounds good. But for today only at MacZot, you can save over $8 and grab it for $11.95!
I’ve already bought it and I’m enjoying the ability to watch every Get a Mac ad released all in a row without having to double click the next file in Finder. My kids are enjoying it, too.
