If you want to play AVI files in your QuickTime Player you can download and install the Perian plug-in. Perian is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats. It adds support for formats not supported by Flip4Mac.Perian enables QuickTime application support for the following media:
- File formats: AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, and VFW
- Video types: MS-MPEG4 v1 & v2, DivX, 3ivx, H.264, Sorenson H.263, FLV/Sorenson Spark, FSV1, VP6, H263i, VP3, HuffYUV, FFVHuff, MPEG1 & MPEG2 Video, Fraps, Snow, NuppelVideo, Techsmith Screen Capture, DosBox Capture
- Audio types: Windows Media Audio v1 & v2, Flash ADPCM, Xiph Vorbis (in Matroska), and MPEG Layer I & II Audio, True Audio, DTS Coherent Acoustics, Nellymoser ASAO
- AVI support for: AAC, AC3 Audio, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3
- Subtitle support for SSA/ASS and SRT
I really recommend installing Perian. With this plug-in you will be able to play most file formats in your QuickTime Player. I typically open the unsupported file in QuickTime and then save the file into a .mov file. By saving your files into .mov files, they can be imported into your iTunes library by simply dragging the .mov file into iTunes. Are you having problems playing video files?
