Read the details about supported Codecs WITHIN an AVI: http://www.perian.org/#detail

Also deinstall 3ivX and DivX codecs as they conflict with Perian.

Yes, but it does not integrate with other apps like iMovie, Keynote, Powerpoint or Compressor.

hi,

I am trying to play .avi files using quicktime. After downloading A52codec, I am able to play the video but not the audio. Then i downloaded Perian, but still only the video works but no audio. Anyone who could advice? thanks a lot, please write to me at nshuks@gmail.com

thanks,
Nitin

This seems to be the Emperor’s New AVI Player: it seems to do nothing.

I was having the same problem. I installed Perian, Quit Quicktime, relaunched QT, and now the clips play perfectly. As well, now they seem to work with proper previews in iMovieHD.

Thank you.

Downloaded and installed perian–no effect whatsoever. Useless.
