Perian is a handy free program that allows your Mac to play almost any movie format including AVI files.
How to Use the Perian Replacement for QuickTime
- Perian is an add-on for QuickTime that makes it compatible with a huge range of video file formats. That makes it much easier to watch a range of video content on the Mac: FLV, DivX, MPEG4 and so on. Instead of constantly hunting for codecs or players, QuickTime becomes the 'Swiss Army knife' of video players - a phrase its developers are proud of.
- I've not built Perian in a long time and the process of this conversion is no exception. It was designed for a much older version of OS X than is current so it may no longer build anymore. If you want to attempt to build Perian, you will first need clone the aforementioned repositories as.
