 .avi refuses to play I have an .avi that refuses to play with either divx player or quicktime. What is the most complete player out there that could possibly play it? How can I find out if it's corrupted or simply unsupported by my currently installed programs? Thanks, Alra111

| There are probably a couple of things that are worth trying. You could see if the free Flip4Mac components (or, directly, from http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm) for QuickTime provide any help. Another thing to try is VLC, which covers a wide range of video formats/codecs. Good luck! Last edited by bbloke; December 15th, 2007 at 05:53 PM. |

| Perian is an excellent QuickTime codec, too. It essentially replaces the Divx decoder, and it handles a lot of other formats, too. If you open the movie in QuickTime and "Show Movie Inspector" (from the Window menu), what does it say under "format"? If it says "IV50", then that's Intel Indeo video, one of the only formats it really is impossible to play in OS X. You can play it in OS 9, though, with the proper codec.
