tech help!

OK, so I always figured that there had to be a way to do frame-by-frame advance and reverse in VLC and that I just hadn't figured it out yet.

But tonight I googled it and found a forum where a VLC developer was carefully explaining that VLC has no concept of what a "frame" is and therefore could never, ever ever in a million years be hacked to include frame-by-frame capability.

Yuck.

So I need a new media player. Preferably one that can play as wide a variety of formats as VLC, but I could get by with something that could just do AVIs, as I buckled and installed WMP recently. I'm on a mac, I've got Quicktime but not the correct codecs. Maybe that's all I need?

Thoughts?

PowerDvd, that's what I use when I want to see things frame by frame or make screen caps. But I don't know if it's available for Mac.
