the windows .AVI file format is supported under quicktime but requires a series of extensions. you will need the following component and here is the website address. the product in question is called Flip4Mac and is a free download as a player, however you can purchase the different systems if you want to edit, author or convert within quicktime through these extensions.
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4macwmv download and install this. it is however worth noting that every so often, updates are constantly available and updating through flip4mac in system preferences forces you to go to the website to download a fresh installer rather than inbuilt updating functions. another component worth installing to work in tandem is this" Perian. this is another quicktime extension for certain non mac file formats. web address: http://perian.org/ this is a free extension as it's under open source. perian is easy to install. just run it and it will ask to install to the system preferences window as a pref extension. enable to all users if your system has multiple accounts. then use your admin password to install. lew On 1 Apr 2012, at 20:41, Nancy Wyman wrote: > Does anyone know how to play and video with the extension AVI?
