Play back certain .avi movies on Intel Macs
Authored by: goober123 on May 12, '06 09:57:30AM

This is pure speculation on my part. But perhaps the video might be encoded in one of the older Intel Indeo Video codecs. These were supported by extensions on Mac OS 9 and below but were never supported on any flavor of Mac OS X and are unplayable on a Mac in either Quicktime, VLC Player, or Mplayer.

Perhaps support for these old codecs was tossed in with the Intel processor switch since the codecs would presumably be supported natively on the processor.

Again, pure speculation....but who knows?
