Is there any video player or A/V app that will let me view .avi movies on a mac (doesn't have to be 68k)? I've tried Quicktime with that AVI->Quicktime app, that didn't work, nor did Realplayer or (I was really desperate) Windows Media Player. Can anyone direct to something that would work on 68k or PPC?Wonko The Sane

If it's a DivX AVI, you'll need a DivX codec (Classic or OS X) or the VirtualLanClient for OS X.Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

If it's not a divx codec then it's probably the older indeo codec. Use google to look for indeo video 3 and indeo video 4 codecs. They should enable quicktime to view older avi's. I found that the newer avi's using the divx codec won't work well unless you have a really fast mac (at least a g3)mathgeek 68K Macs Liberated: LC, Performa 636, Mac Classic II

I'd recommend at least 500 mhz for DivX. On a 400 mhz g3 imac, it is still a bit choppy. Hmm, I think I'm straying from the 68k theme here...{ candyPunk }

Another problem: Now I can't get any sound on my .avi movies. Is there some sort of audio plug-in that I need?Wonko The Sane

First use Avi2Mov to make a Quicktime DivX. This will fix the sound. Then play this file in Quicktime.Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert
