OS X Perian plugin – Quicktime Swiss-Army knife

September 29, 2006 by in AV,Tech with 5 Comments

Want to make Quicktime a more robust video player? Check out the Perian plugin [via] (OS X only) which will add support for the following video formats:

  • Divx, XviD, FLV, AVI
  • MS-MPEG4 v1, MS-MPEG4 v2, MS-MPEG4 v3, DivX 3.11 alpha, 3ivX, Sorenson H.263, Flash Screen Video, Truemotion VP6
  • These formats when they are inside an AVI:
    h.264, mpeg4, AAC, AC3 Audio, and VBR MP3.

FLV from within Quicktime?! Awesome. Now all we need is an equivalent Windows solution.

    This is a kind of fake. You cannot download it. Has been on coolOSXapps as well and it has been removed some minutes ago.

    This is still in beta. It has not ben released and the beta has ben suspended for an undetermined amount of time with no explination given.
    Just a FYI if you are freaking out that you cant download it.

    Why do we need a windows equivalent?

    Well when I posted that it was still in beta. I am on the Dev Team and this was leaked onto digg before it was supposed to be released. Hence the .5 version number instead of the 1.0
