for those of whom who have not seen a post I created regarding digital media support for OS X and quicktime, I'd recommend reviewing it.
Perian is a free plugin system to allow support for non standard media support in OS X. this includes suport for windows media files to integrate into products like quicktime, etc. if you're regularly accessing web enriched media, then products such as quicktime, perian and flip4mac should be used in conjunction with your browser of choice. lew On 15 Apr 2012, at 20:35, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Uh, what exactly is this and what is it supposed to be good for? > > > Sincerely, > The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! > > Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!! > > Skype name: > barefootedray > > Facebook: > facebook.com/ray.foretjr.1 > > > > On Apr 15, 2012, at 12:21 PM, Lewis Alexander wrote: > >> here are the details required. >> >> http://perian.org/ >> >> download the dmg file. >> >> open it, you will find a file called perian.pref. >> >> run it. >> >> you will be asked for your admin password (if you have set one, input it, if >> not, just hit enter) >> >> you will be asked if you want to install it to all users or just you. for >> best results including making a recovery user, install to all users. >> >> you will be asked for your admin password again. >> >> after this, it's installed and system preferences updates itself with the >> icon installed at the bottom. >> >> this doesn't need any attention as it's auto configured and is system wide. >> >> lew >> >> On 15 Apr 2012, at 18:09, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: >> >>> Well, if you can send me the direct link, I'll download and install it and >>> tell you how I did it, but I don't find anything under the spelling, >>> "Perian." >>> >>> >>> • Mark BurningHawk Baxter >>> • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 >>> • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com >>> • My home page: >>> • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ >>> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "MacVisionaries" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >>> macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group at >>> http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >>> >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
