is it possible to watch avis files on a mac (powermac processor)
I think the die-hards on the site would recommend going to: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
But here’s the answer: http://perian.org/
From their site: “Perian is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats.”
MPlayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html
or
VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
just use a extension for quicktime tfat allows avi even wma playback. Its on apple.com
install the DivX codec along with perian and everything should work great.
