   Topic: Quicktime, Macs, and AVIsPosted: 17 December 2006 at 2:52pm |

I'm having difficulty opening AVIs in my Quicktime. It says that some software it required and it shows me THIS PAGE but i have no idea which component to install to help me view AVIs.
Can anyone tell me which one they installed that worked or reccomend a free video converter that will convert these into mp4s? |

 Macs hate avis's. The way Microsoft designed their compression is crap. Stay away from them. Quicktime will ALWAYS give you that dialog because it will not read them. RealPlayer can occassionally play an avi on a mac but not if the person made them did not export as 'for mas too' <---- very rare |

Get the following:
Perian A plug-in that allows you to "Play almost anything in QuickTime". Or: VLC Player Which plays lots of different file-types. OSX > Windows. :B Edited by Vidd - 20 December 2006 at 1:48pm |

What did you base this thought on?

I'd smash any mac to pieces if it assaulted me as I was getting out of bed. |
