Perian - Codecs for Quicktime

After spending a few hours at the weekend trying to get my new Mac Mini media center to play all my videos though Front Row, I found this today. Perian is a free plugin for Quicktime which allows it to play everything that VLC will play. Rather than searching for all those Quicktime plugins and codecs and then having to install them you can now just use this.

So if you are now having to use Quicktime (on front row), don't bother searching for all the codecs just download Perian.

Why not leave your own!

  1. It doesn't do WMV files so I guess we're stuck with flip4mac for now.
  2. I also had to download this to get sound from some of my AVI's
  3. That's annoying. I guess flip4mac will stay for a bit too! hopefully it will be developed more and a few things added, especially as front row only uses quicktime :(
