Mac OSX and .AVI

[CHALE]

Is there any way to play or convert .avi kovies in OS X? Because nether quicktime or windows media seem to play them.

Thanks for the help.

I use divxdoctor 2. Works great. But if the movie was encoded with ac3 audio, you have to take a little different route.

edit: I'm still looking for a solution to play .mpg movies on Macs though.

just use quicktime to play mpg

Quicktime won't play it. It is a svcd mpg...if that matters. I can double click on the .mpg file, quicktime opens, but no movie window comes up

get qt 6 it supports mpeg4 ;) need help mesage me

[Chad]

I had QT6. But it wouldn't play some of the others files right. Maybe I was doing something wrong. Is QT 6 supposed to play everything QT 5 does? Even though its in beta?

EDIT: BTW...is there anyway I could have QT5 and 6 installed at the same time? I guess I could always reboot to 10.2 to test QT6 :-)

yea its a beta but it does play mpeg4 good its has like a built in vcd player and all.
