If you are familiar with Quick Time player then you should know that it doesn't really support very many video formats. Basically all that it covers out of the box is .mp4 .mov, and all the similar formats. If you are a person that tends to download and produce a lot of video then there is one tool that you absolutely should have. It is Perian Downloadable Here and it is the "Swiss Army Knife for Quick Time. Below is a video that is going to show you how to download, install, and configure the plugin. So without further delay, enjoy and feel free to comment.

If you have a Mac then you probably know that there is not a version of Windows Media Player out there for it. Sure you can go and download the older ones and that may get the job done, but they don't work well with the new codecs. Don't be worried though there is a program out there and it is called Flip4Mac. Just Google it and you will be able to find it. It is a program that Microsoft makes which allows Quicktime Player to be able to handle WMV (and others) file formats. If you do not have this installed on your mac already then you need to and this video will show you how. If you have ever run across a web page and gotten an error along them lines of MMIE missing then this is most likely why. INstalling Flip4Mac will not fix all of the problems, but it will fix a good portion of them. Also stay tuned for another video soon that shows you how to get your Mac to play some of the open source and less common Codecs.
