Here's a site with some info on that component. http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~naegelic/index.php

Have you tried VLC Media Player? It will run on the Mac OS and has it's own codecs. May be easier than modifying Quicktime player.

BTW, on this site you should post in the Mac forum to get better response on Mac problems.

red is correct about vlc. but if you really want to use quicktime, get the following codec from www.versiontracker.com

3ivx d4
ac3
divx5
divx6
xvid

that should just about cover any avi file you've got.

nice to know i'm not the only brit in here 8)
