AVIs - How do you view them on a Mac?


Quicktime and Windows Media Viewer never seems to want to display AVIs.


What to do?

VLC Media Player (I think look under VideoLAN on Google?)

Good luck.

It depends on how they were encoded.

There's a DivX plug-in which lets QUicktime play most divx avis.

http://www.divx.com

That seems to cover lots of them. For the rest, get VLC player or
MPlayer.

I also recommend DivX, which plays your *.avi movies in QT. I wish Apple
would support the format out of the box, because DivX compression is very
effective.

I have heard that Windows Media Player was discontinued, and that there is a
module somewhere for playing WMP streams in QT. Anyone know about it?

Wow, we use Telestream's FlipFactory all the time for transcoding
various formats at work. Didn't know they were working on
desktop/consumer stuff.

Hope it's better than their Quicktime plugin...
