Having issues on your Mac playing AVIs? Really annoyed that you're lead to a page with loads of componets for QuickTime but no apparent solution for your dilemma? Worry no more!! -->
http://perian.org There's Perian!
Sorry if this is repeat news to some of you but I StumbledUpon this wonderful thing and I was THRILLED to find it. Now I don't have to go through the frustration of trying to find something that works. Perian works for not just AVIs but also other file extentions. And it's free! :D:D:D
