Why can't play .mkv on QuickTime X Lion?

[Alex Lion]

Hello,

I downloaded and installed Perian 1.2.3 and I can play .avi now on
QuickTime X and also some .mkv files!
but some of them can't be play and just can play them in QuickTime 7
or VLC.. but I really like QT X on Lion.

So when will come the new version that supports QuickTime X?

It's something Apple did, and there is absolutely nothing at all we can do about it.  Demand they fix it.  Alternatively, you can use the player which looks remarkably similar to QTX but predates it called NicePlayer: http://code.google.com/p/niceplayer/

Why was this advertisement allowed on the list, especially since we've had to remove spam pointing at this company in the past?  Furthermore why did the poster reply to the original message from more than 2 months ago instead of the answer that I had given to the question on the same day?  How is this not a spammer?

If you are looking for tools that do transcoding and degrade the quality of the original, go with something that's open source instead of something that's closed source and uses open source engines (and possibly violating the licenses).  Handbrake would certainly be a good example of a free product that'll do a much better job.

Deeerp. I modded it through carelessly. Sorry.
