QuickTime supports hardware acceleration for some profiles of H.264 however, which profiles these are is not documented and may change on different Mac models. Perian has to read in the entire file in order for seeking and playback to work.ĭoes hardware acceleration for H.264 work with Perian? This is easy with its native format, MOV/MP4, but more difficult for several others, including MKV.

QuickTime expects to know the location of every single frame in a movie in order to play it. Why does it take so long for MKV to load? Select the Perian pane and 'Remove.' Now 'Show All' preference panes, control-click the Perian pane and 'Remove "Perian" Preference Pane.'

Sure, they're not Perian, but they offer great software still under development. ConsiderĪ final word: If and when Perian stops working, try looking into VLC or MPlayer OS X. It's hard times these days and your money will make a bigger impact elsewhere.

We will post the source code to either Google Code or Github. We will soon release the final version of Perian, including all the fixes we've worked on since the last release. We'll wrap up our loose ends, pack up our bags, and move on to new and exciting projects. Starting 90 days after the final Perian release, we will no longer provide support. Still, we reached a great stopping point and Perian's installed userbase proves how valuable this tool became to so many people. As an example, we would have liked an official, flexible, and well-documented import API to speed up MKV. There are some projects that we never got to.

Today, Perian stands as complete as it ever will be under our stewardship. Our preferences were minimal, updating was easy, and we gradually grew the product to add in extras like subtitles and different formats. Our stewardship has been a blast but it's time for all of us to move on.įrom the beginning we kept Perian simple. Our team has attained that goal and with that in mind, Perian will be retired soon. We wanted to simplify viewing your content. We began the Perian project over 6 years ago. If you’re using Windows, all you have to do is double-click the file to open it in Windows Media Player.A notice to all of our users and supporters How Do I Open an AVI File?ĪVI is a proprietary file format created by Microsoft, so if you plan on opening one outside of Windows, you’ll need a third-party application to handle playback. Additionally, this allows for playback without the use of any codecs. A lossless file will not lose quality over time, regardless of how many times you open or save the file. This makes the files lossless, which results in immensely larger file sizes - approximately 2-3 GB per minute of video. The file is saved in a multimedia container format that stores audio and video using a variety of codecs, like DivX and XviD.Īn AVI file uses less compression to store files and takes up more space than many other video formats-like MPEG and MOV. AVI files also can be created without the use of compression at all. First developed in 1992 by Microsoft, AVI is the standard video format for Windows machines.
