As Google Blog notes, there's now a Google Video Player for Mac. Why would you want to use it instead of QuickTime? Now you can buy videos from Google Video Store, browse scenes within a video using thumbnails and play the video without waiting to download it completely.
This is the third Mac software produced by Google, after Google Notifier and Google Earth.
