1. The video track that was encoded in settings that QuickTime does not support may be not supported.
If it does not support 'H.264 Hardware Acceleration', playback and seeking may be not smooth according to the CPU of your Mac (especially when play the 1080p video file).
2. Sandbox: If you open video 'files' (not 'folders') that are not exist in the following folder and its subfolders (~/Downloads, ~/Movies),
you should manually open same named subtitles files, and it doesn't support the feature that it opens similar named subtitles files, and the feature that playlist is automatically made up of similar named video files doesn't work.
3. To open the OPTIONAL Types (MKV, AVI, FLV) on 'QuickTime' mode, it requires 'Perian' (v1.2.3/QuickTime® Component). You can download 'Perian' at 'http://www.perian.org' (free).
It is recommended that play MKV files on 'FFmpeg' mode.
'm2ts' files that are contained in 'BDMV' will be automatically added to the playlist when you open the 'BDMV' included folder.
Only the video file with a video track (encoded in 'YUV420P' pixel format) is played normally. ('YUV420P 10-bit' pixel format is played only on FFmpeg mode.)
