Two Indispensable Tools For Watching Video On Macs
Have you ever downloaded a video and found it wouldn't play on your computer? That's because not all videos are alike. In order to play a specific video, you'll need the software that's required to play it.
Macs users can add support for most video formats by downloading two programs, Perian and VLC. Perian is a free tool that installs the necessary QuickTime components for many popular video formats. It saves you the hassle of installing each software package one-by-one. VLC should fill in any gaps left by Perian. VLC will play pretty much anything, and it's cross-platform so PC and Linux users can use it too.
Another tool to consider is the Flip4Mac plugin for viewing Windows Media files in Apple's QuickTime player. Microsoft doesn't support Windows Media for Mac anymore, and instead they have acquired Flip4Mac to replace Windows Media Player.
These tools should enable your computer to play just about any format out there. Enjoy!
