How To Play AVI, WMV with QuickTime on Mac?
It is painful when my Macbook can’t play AVI, WMV movie files. In fact, there are more files format cannot be play by QuickTime (Mac) by default. FLV, MKV, DivX and Xvid to name a few.
Why QuickTime can’t play? It only plays AVI files that both audio and video were compressed using a codec that QuickTime can use. You may find video with NO sound even you can play them. That’s really annoying experience.
Fortunately I’m able to resolve the problem and enjoy downloaded movies. Share 3 solutions with you. Hope it helps!
