s.goten Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi all, since I installed Mountain Lion I can't play .avi files with quicktime. It says that no codec is installed to play avi. I always use perian as codec pack and with SL and Lion no problem to play avi with quick time. Any suggestion? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283107-quick-time-dont-play-avi-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.H Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 try another player ? MplayerX ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283107-quick-time-dont-play-avi-files/#findComment-1855539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.goten Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I already used mplayerx and vlc (they work fine). but I would like to understand why quicktime don't work... thanks anyway for suggestion Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283107-quick-time-dont-play-avi-files/#findComment-1855614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, MplayerX is much more powerful than QT in playing multimedia files.

s.goten Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 update: I accidentally discovered that quicktime plays .avi files only if they are on OS X partition. Avi stored in other partitions (eg. ntfs windows partition) can't be played by quicktime... SL e Lion didn't have that problem.... 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283107-quick-time-dont-play-avi-files/#findComment-1855919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
