Until now, harnessing the power of the GPU required in-depth knowledge of pixel-level programming. Core Image allows developers to easily leverage these programmable GPUs for blistering-fast image processing that can eliminate rendering time delays. Effects and transitions can be expressed with a few lines of code. Core Image handles the rest, optimizing the path to the GPU. The result is real-time, interactive responsiveness as you select and apply filters.

It is used for a completly different aspect of video, such as editing and manipulation. We just want to be able to play anything and everything, and thats a pretty hard thing to do. If not prove me wrong.

MPLayer and VLC is pretty much the best out there from what i have seen, so why not use them, it GPL software, they want you to (if things go well in the courts that is )?

With divx plugin, I play .avi files using quicktime 7, so it is possible.

thank you for putting the CoreVideo in lay terms for me

Anyway, doesnt using the Quicktime SDK allow you access to all installed codecs?
