Hi,

I use a Macintosh g4 and am having trouble playing video files. I basically can’t play any avi files, though i can play some wmv files and most (but not all) mpg files. I’ve tried to download every codec in sight but very few of them work in the Mac OS. any suggestions? I would be grateful for any help anyone can offer — other than “get a pc” of course. Long story.

Thanks

if you can afford a mac, you can afford DVD’s.

ok ok j/k. but this isn’t the place for a ? like that, posting on these message boards is just asking to be flamed by most of these nimrods. do yourself a favour and find a better forum where someone will actaully help. that is probably the best advice you will get, watch and see...

Apparently you’re right. Just out of curiosity, why do you visit this board, cancer face, if it’s full of nimrods? Where do you suggest I go for non-nimrod advice? yours,

I visit because once in a GREAT while there is useful info buried in here.

Here is a forum that may actually help:

http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/archive/f9-600.html

http://www.dvdrhelp.com is one of the best places to go for all thing video and audio, from downloading to converting to ripping to compressing, etc etc.. Most of the folks act more intelligent there as well.

i would recommend visiting the “genius bar” at one of the mac stores. guys there are extremely helpful or call them. mac has wonderful tech support in my experience.
