The folder Library/QuickTime has 73 differnt codecs in it!!!
Is there something I'm missing here ???
Tried me, Larry, "moving on "not the problem your having
I can play just about any video file the Mac is capable of playing, and I only have ten codecs in my system Quicktime older.
I you probably have a lot of how of fate software in there, probably stand to lose most of them. Question is, which ones?
For a record, most of the codecs in my Quicktime older have to do with DIVX, which is popular in both AVI and MPEG files. One is specifically for WMA (Windows Media Audio) support, and another was put there by Toast.
I'm not sure there's a comprehensive guide anywhere as to what to put in and what not to, but the simplest advice I have boils down to this: if the Quicktime Player won't play it, try downloading VLC and/or MplayerOSX. Between the three of them, 90% of the videos out there will play.
