Fast Player is QuickTime movie player, and unlike SimplePlayer, its free. Fast Player can load many movies at one time and plays them smoothly. You can set up Fast Player so it will make your computer's desktop color black providing a more aesthetically appealing backdrop for the movies being played. It also includes an option to save a movie as a "flat" movie so the movie can be exported to non-Macintosh platforms.
