Panarchy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello! What is the best codec pack (in your opinion) for mac? (leopard) I used Vista Codec Pack on Vista & XP, but I don't know which to use with mac! I need something that will allow me to play DivX, Matrokosa (mkv) & Avi (DivX, XVid). And I need it to inbuild the codecs into mac so I can burn them to dvd. Thanks in advance, Panarchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Perian has the most, that a Flip4Mac and you should be set. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22923/perian http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17787...4mac-wmv-player I don't think you can get a Quicktime codec to play mkv files, but for playback VLC is the best. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5758/vlc-media-player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Panarchy If you are looking to burn using things like Divx, you will need to go download and purchase Divx Pro if memory serves me right, playing though can be accomplished through the use of programs like MPlayer or VLC (Video LAN) without problems.
