Right,
Ive put all my stuff from my p.c to my mac.
but my quicktime videos dont play?
It said i needed some extra 'thing' no idea what it means?
"You may need to install additional software to open this type of file"
It might be an AVI file it wont play, anyway i still need some advice.
Help and thanks
AVI files won't normally play in Quicktime (the default media player on Mac), without a plug-in of some kind I think. You're better off downloading[url= http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/1.1.7/macosx/vlc-1.1.7.dmg/download ] VLC player[/url]. Then, once you've downloaded your [s]bit of grot[/s] perfectly respectable video clip, right-click on it, then select 'Get Info'. Go down to the bit that says 'Open with', then select from the menu, VLC player (Quicktime will be selected as the default). It will say 'Use this application to open all documents like this one. All future AVI files will open up in VLC, not QT.
Hey presto, happy [s]Grotting[/s] enjoying perfectly innocent video clips! 🙂
Whats that?
Rather than VLC can I suggest installing Perian, then just using quicktime?
Then only use VLC as and when you have a particularly obscure video.
VLC Player is an alternative to Quicktime for viewing [s]pron[/s] videos
Download it from here - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
You want the 32 bit intel mac version - second one down.
If its a new imac then 64bit version is what you want - especially if you want to use the 64 bit Handbrake to [s]copy[/s] put your DVDs onto your ipod
Why is everyone thinking im watching filth? Its sunday afternoon the lords day!!!

I like the sound of putting videos on my ipod etc. How? whats handbrake???
Or you could do what IA suggests. Nice one! 🙂
VLC is still useful for playing stuff like WMV files and a couple of others. Needs no extra plugins.

You mean you're [i]not[/i]?? 😯
Deviant!
For WMV you want flip4mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/windows-media-player/wmcomponents
Lets you play windows media formats in quicktime.
That plus perian gets nearly everything playing in quicktime.

Allows you to import video into different formats eg DVD to iPod compatible mp4
