Flip Player for Mac With Flip Player, you can play everything QuickTime bolsters as a matter of course, for example, MOV and MP4/H.264/AAC. More configuration backing can be included through QuickTime segments. With Flip Player, your recordings look fresh and clear even on the most noteworthy determination Retina Display screens. Flip Player progressively blurs in route controls just when you require them and never on top of your video.

With a basic, uncluttered configuration, Flip Player makes it simple to explore through your video. Scour, quick forward, rewind, skip, bounce or venture, while never darkening your video content.

It can't play them because they are proprietary formats. I would LOVE it if the QT player could play WMP files, RealPlayer Files, as well as all of the.avi files. Then it would really be a godsend. Unfortunately, ass companies like Real and Microsoft and Intel won't allow their proprietary formats be used in any other player other than theirs. Really annoying, I agree. Many of the Avi2mov converters can be found at.

Answer: A: Quicktime alone has never played.avi files. Flip4Mac, which used to be free allowed Quicktime to play.avi files. Mac Flip video converter is a program specially designed to make Flip Mino and Flip Ultra work well with iMovie, iTunes and QuickTime. It can convert flip video to DV, m4v for iMovie, and convert flip video to QuickTime. Mov for QiuickTime.

Just search for the term 'divx'. The best one I've found is 'divX for OS X', at version 1.1.7. Pretty good all around player, and directly interfaces into the QT player so you can open.avi files in the QT player with the extra QT component. It won't work on all.avi files, though.

It's probably always good to have a few different options though -- I personally have three different decoders that are QT components (/Library/Quicktime). All of them can be found at if you search for the term 'divx'. Now if only someone would make a WMP or RealPlayer file component for QT Player. That would rock. Good luck -- hope this helps. Oh, by the way -- does anybody else notice that the Quicktime pane of System Preferences places QT for OS X at version 5.0.5, but the QT player places both the player and QT at version 5.0.2. Anyone know which is correct?

UPDATE: You guys might want to check some of the third-party add-ons that can be downloaded via the QT updater -- just go to the QuickTime pane of the System Preferences, go to the Update tab, select 'Install new 3rd-party QuickTime software', and then press the 'Update Now.' If the QT updater says all of your components are up-to-date, click the 'Custom' button, and you'll see some third-party add-ons you might as well install for better support. Select one and you'll see a description, and you can also check them to download and install them.

Ya know, Apple also doesn't let people watch QuickTime movies in RealPlayer or Windows Media Player, either. I really don't like all three of these formats (QT, Real, WMF) because they are proprietary. (Although QuickTime is a better format by far than the other two).

I would much rather be using mpg or something for my use. The problem is that I can't find a decent mpg encoder for free. It is way easier to make QT movies. What would be really cool is if Apple opened up QT a little more to make it less proprietary and more universal?

Probably won't happen-- but it would be cool. First divx is not a AVI file. I know that Divx files have.AVI on the file names but they are really MPEG-4 files. Why they decided to put.AVI on DivX movies I don't know. The proplem with the most common AVI movie codecs is that they are made for the Intel Pentium CPU to take advantage of the Pentium in such a way they can not be ported over to other types of CPUs(like RISC.) Although some of my friends who buy Wintels say they have trouble with AVI files also. So even WMP for mac cant play AVI files. It sucks I know.

But, it got to the point where I just don't dl AVI files anymore. Divx on the other hand I do dl. If You want to play Divx on macos 9 or older you can use divx player. Let me find a link for anyone who wants it. Took me a few min. But I found it.

But you may need a old version of WMP. So, to sum it up. Macs cant play most AVI files because most movies are encoded usign a codec that needs the Pentium CPU.
