Hi all just been sent some discs of my family at the other end of
the country and they have been saved in avi video files
My system is a pismo with 768 ram 500 cpu 30gb hdd and a combo
drive cdrw/dvd running the latest version of X Tiger and
I have quicktime 7 pro loaded but it cannot read the files it says
i need a 3rd party software but which one do i need any help will
be great
two things to try:
1) get the DIVX codec <http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/>, except it
doesn't work with Tiger and QT 7. (they say they're working with
Apple on getting it working)
2) get MS Windows Media Player X <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/
otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=windowsmedia>
That will work with some AVI files.
The problem is that AVI, like MOV, is a 'container' for a variety of
codecs, not all available for Macs.
I've found that the old Classic QT movie player plays some AVI's
natively that don't in OS X.
