Chromecast is a media player device created by the Google company to help you stream audio and video content on your TV via WiFi.
All you need to do is drag-and-drop the movie you wish to stream over the app's interface and configure the playback settings according to your requirements. The program lets you choose the preferred video resolution, maximum bit rate, etc. It also features an option to attach subtitle files to your videos.
Furthermore, the application works with a wide variety of video formats and doesn't slow down your Mac while streaming the movies to your TV.
However, this version is for testing only as it allows you to play only 5 minutes from the imported video. You can make an in-app purchase to get rid of this restriction and stream your favorite movies to your TV without experiencing any issues.
So, I'd say it's definitely worth making the aforementioned in-app purchase if you own a Chromecast device and use it frequently.
Pros
- Simple to use
- Works with various video formats
- Allows you to attach subtitle files to your videos

Cons
- You need to make an in-app purchase to unlock the 5 minutes playback limit
