Top 1: VLC Media Player
VLC Media Player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, and OGG, as well as for DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It also can be used as a server for unicast or multicast streams in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
Cons: It is a little delayed while playing, "Each time i click on run video network it plays other audio and dvds etc and after a million times it finally plays the youtube video." but as a whole, it is a best video player Mac.
Top 2: QuickTime
QuickTime player is a surprisingly powerful Apple's flagship media player, and while most people think it's just a simple player app, it has a number of features that could easily make it a mainstay in your Dock. Whether you’re using it to quickly trim and combine clips, or just need to remove the audio from a video for later use, QuickTime can help. There are options for exporting your movies in various formats. QuickTime lets you view Internet video, HD movie trailers, and personal media.
Cons: It is a bit slow to launch, has limited video formats supported, for more formats available, you have to install external plgu-in Perian.
Top 3: MPlayerX
MPlayerX is another open-source Mac video player that is quite similar to VLC. It'll play a wide range of video and audio files (again without the need for any additional codecs or software) and has a few other hidden features, such as multi-touch and Apple Remote support. The interface is based on that of QuickTime's with the same minimal approach and one feature I love is the bookmark feature which remembers where you played up to last time – something which I think every video player should have.
Cons: MPlayerX is easily intrusive and injects pop-up ads or advertising banners which may bring virus.
Top 4: Realplayer
RealPlayer offers solid performance and a simple interface. It automatically recognizes the file format of the video or audio file you want to play. So you can count on it to reliably play the most popular audio and video file formats including avi, mp4, mp3, wma, wav, flv, MPEG, and more. Several applications need to be installed in advance to launch the application properly.
Cons: Realplayer works slower and performs less user-friendly but includes handy downloading and conversion features that may benefit some users.
Top 5: DivX Player
DivX Player is a very powerful program for watching and converting DIVX video format movies. It features a wide range of unique and advanced possibilities such as video burning, streaming and sharing. It is a best video player Mac to watch DivX, MKV and HEVC up to 4K films, comes with DivX Codec Pack, and a free 15-day trial of DivX Plus Converter for those who plan to convert.
Cons: It is a big installation file.
Of course there are tons of other video player apps like VLC for iOS for iPhone that aren't mentioned here, as many of them are pretty much the same thing.
