<div>Some of you might remember that, in the olden days (I think it was discontinued around 2012), there was that tool called Perian, which was pretty much a codec pack for OS X, or rather QuickTime. The thing I personally still miss the most about it is the nice integration it had with Quicklook, which after Perian's discontinuation has lost most of it's appeal for me, personally.</div><div></div><div></div><div>To be more specific, the Perian codecs cannot be used by the "AVFoundation" for playback but most Perian codecs are still used by the system "Convert" module allowing the QT X v10.3 and v10.4 Players, as well as, the Mavericks and Yosemite Finder accessed routines to convert codecs. Unfortunately, I believe the Perian DTS codec is still incompatible with the convert module and still creates and "empty" audio track for converted DTS source content.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Perian Codec For Mac Free Download</div><div></div><div>Download File:

Someone on the something awful forums was able to get his Apple TV to play videos in various encoding formats by adding codec support with Perian (a codec pack for QuickTime). Apple TV essentially runs a stripped down version of OS X. As we all know, Apple TV also runs a modified variant of Front Row, which utilizes QuickTime. By adding codecs to QuickTime with Perian you effectively allow the Apple TV to recognize and play any video file that Perian supports.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Once you can access the Apple TV hard drive on your computer (probably Mac-only since Perian is only offered in dmg format), drag over the Perian codecs to the QuickTime folder then install an FTP client and open up some firewall ports for further tinkering.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If the AVI files previously played and/or converted using QT X v10.3 under Mavericks or QT X v10.4 under Yosemite, then the "same" files should continue to do so after the latest Yosemite update. Normally for the files to play and/or convert in the QT X player, the Perian codec package must be installed on your system. It is, however, sometimes possible that the Perian codec package can become "orphaned" during the update process and a user may have go to the Perian Preference Pane to "Remove" and then again "Install" the software to regain its functionality. On the other hand, if these are new and different files, then you would have to use an alternative player like VLC or a dedicated utility like MediaInfo to determine what codecs were used to create these new files and ensure that they are supported by the Perian codec package.</div><div></div><div></div><div>b) Open the problem file in MediaInfo or a similar utility to determine what codecs were used to create the problem file to see if it is actually supported by your system's current codec configuration.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If the Perian codec component is installed and you still get this message, then it is time to find out what components were used to create the AVI file. As previously noted, one way to this is to open the file in the free VLC player app. VLC has its own built-in components and does nut rely on the Perian components for playback and/or conversion by the various QT X/7 players. If the file plays in VLC then that would confirm that your AVI file is still good and may indicate that either the Perian codecs are still not installed properly or that something is wrong with the QT player app. If the file will not open in VLC, then that would tend to indicate something is wrong with the AVI file itself. In any case, if the AVI file opens in VLC, check the "Window > Media Information > Codec Details" menu option to learn which codecs were used to create the AVI file.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Okay... This brings up the question of what you really want to do here. Your normal workflow seems to have been to simply load the AVI files into the QT X player and let it convert the files to compression formats and file containers that are natively compatible with QT X which, for some unexplained reason, no longer seems to work on your system. This could still be due to an audio codec problem, corruption in the operating system, corruption in QT X player, or some software or hardware conflict on your system. If the system and QT X player seem to be otherwise working normally, then we can</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Perian can be recognized as the Swiss-army knife of QuickTime, or saying as add-in of QuickTime. It enables QuickTime to play many popular video formats that not supported by QuickTime natively, like WebM/VP8, MKV. Perian codec is open-source and you can download Perain here.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Perian for QuickTime is a good add-in for QuickTime. But it is not the perfect one for good quality, since it provides somewhat sub-par quality when compared with the method of directly getting the codes from the source. Thus, Perian for QuickTime can be nice and convenient but not suitable for quality lover.(Please note that if you have got Perian installed on your Mac and now want to quit it, you have to delete the Perian. component file by navigating to the /Library/QuickTime. Otherwise, it will screw up the replacement codecs.)</div><div></div><div></div><div>Commonly referred to as the Swiss Army Knife for QuickTime, the Perian plug-in included a number of the codecs required to view most video formats available via the Web and was the answer for many who were trying to find a way to view obscure, outdated video files. It often was used to overcome the limited default codec support in Apple's QuickTime player.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you are looking for media support options in OS X, besides Perian there are a few other programs that will let you view obscure and unsupported media formats. One of the most common is the VideoLAN Client (VLC) media player, and another is MPlayer OS X Extended (be sure to get the binary codec pack for this player). Additionally, the Perian developers are promoting NicePlayer as an alternative.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Perian, the swiss-army knife of QuickTime components, is designed to expand the file formats and subtitles supported by QuickTime Player. With the components installed on macOS, QuickTime is able to handle a motley collection of formats, from the commonly used MKV, FLV, MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, WebM, VP8, SRT/SSA subtitles to the less known formats HuffYUV, and more. If you are still using this component for QuickTime 7.6.6 or older, get started with QuickTime Perian tutorial and learn how to download, install and use it for Mac. Note that if you are using QuickTime 10 or above, the most efficient way to play videos on QuickTime without unsupported video container/codec format issues is to use a video converter for Mac.</div><div></div><div></div><div> MacX Video Converter Pro, a robust alternative to Perian, will help QuickTime play any media file without errors. The software can quickly convert 4K, 1080P, 720P, SD video of MKV, FLV, WMV, AVI, H.265 to QuickTime supported formats MOV, MP4, MPEG-4, H.264. With its built-in 370+ video audio codecs, no additional video codecs or plugins are needed. macOS High Sierra is also supported.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You have different sources to download QuickTime codec Perian for Mac, the safest ones include its official site (the download is available under the statement), Softonic, and CNET. Below is the information. Some download buttons or links may redirect you to Perian alternatives. Check the file name before you save the plugin to your computer.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Q: QuickTime refuses to play AVI files in QuickTime 7. Any straightforward solution for this problem? </div><div></div><div>It's common that QuickTime won't play AVI files even you have Perian installed on your computer. AVI is a container format introduced by Microsoft, which can contain different types of video and audio codecs unsupported by Perian. You have three ways to solve the error of QuickTime with Perian not playing AVI files:</div><div></div><div></div><div>MKV is a container format like MP4 and AVI. The reasons why QuickTime is not playing MKV are similar to that of QT not playing AVI files. To play MKV on Mac, try other MKV players for Mac or change MKV to MOV with H.264 codec that is widely accepted.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Perian is no longer under development and doesn't work with QuickTime 10 or above on Yosemite or later. It's not a reliable plugin to let QuickTime play a wide range of media files. Forget Perian, use a solid video converter for macOS like MacX Video Converter Pro to make QuickTime plays any type of video by converting any 4K/1080P/720P/SD video to QuickTime supported formats MOV, MP4 etc, for example, AVI to MOV, MKV to MP4, WMV to MOV, H.265 to H.264, DivX to MPEG-4 and more. No additional codec pack is required.
