| 558522 | 2007-06-12 21:53:00 | Hi all, A question regarding macs:yuck:. I have a friend who is trying to play a bunch of .avi files using Quick Time on a Mac. (OSX) They wouldn't play (surprise surprise) so i said go download VLC and that will work, which it did. However she would rather use Q.T. than VLC. I can't find a codec/plug in that allows Q.T. to play .avi files. I was wondering if anyone knows of such a plug in or codec, it's not a biggie.. and i expect to get a bunch of replys that say "screw quick time use vlc" I expect to have to tell her that eventually, but anyone know of a simple way to get avi's playing on QT? Cheers:cool: |

| 558525 | 2007-06-12 22:18:00 | Cheers guys:) I think I might get her to stick with VLC, that's pretty much what I had come up with too, I think she already tried the divx and 3ivx codecs. Thanks. |

| 558526 | 2007-06-13 04:49:00 | VLC is good (Steve gave it a big mention at the WWDC) although I have never used it myself, I am currently running Parallels which has been trouble free and gets a lot of use since I am still using my old PC version of InDesign for some work i am doing. Haven't tried using the additional codecs in QT for avi files though. I doubt that your friend will change from OS X though. :) |

| 558528 | 2007-06-13 07:48:00 | Yeah, I was gonna recommend Perian too. I use it and it just works, this meaning it adds DivX/XviD support to QT, so helps with FrontRow support for these formats also. | sal (67) | ||
