In addition, users can download additional third-party codec components for their own use (e.g., WMV, DivX, XviD, 3ivx, FLV, MPEG-2, etc.) which can then be used by QT for playback and or conversions.

In addition, certain Apple software applications will install additional codec components to support them (e.g., FCE adds "professional" editing codec support) in their use. Snow Leopard comes with native support for a number of compression formats which Apple considers to be required for basic use. "all of which use my current system codec component configuration rather than built-in codecs" What am I missing? What do you mean when you say: This is frustrating and I've spent a number of hours on it. Since FLV files play on my systems using the same players and codec component support, this may indicate you have a system problem and should begin to look at more general solutions like component conflicts (check the Perian web site for known conflicts), problems with preference files, check to see if the problem is limited to a single user account or to the system OS globally, repair permissions, etc. Also tried your suggestion for dbl-clicking and loading into app on dock and I receive the same error. I checked and my version of Perian is also v1.2.3.
Neither MPEG Streamclip or QT X will play the. If the file does open using either of these latter two options, then you need to use the Finder "Info" or Finder FLV icon "context" menu window to "set" the preferred app for opening the FLV "class" of files. In such cases, try opening the player app and then navigating to the FLV file you wish to play or try dropping the Finder FLV icon on the QT player's "dock" icon.

Systems which have not previously been set up to play FLV files may refuse to open these files automatically by double-clicking the Finder movie icon. The player does not open anything I double-click either My OS ver is 10.6.8 and it was the only Perian version available.īoth my Snow Leopard (v10.6.8) and Lion (v10.7.3) systems are configured with the Perian v1.2.3 package.
How do I know if the version of Perian is what works with my system. (Note: Some legacy files will not play in the QT X player app so I normally use the QT 7 player as my default movie plater.) FLV files (both Sorenson/MP3 and H.264/AAC compression formats) play correctly in QT X, QT 7, and MPEG Streamclip players-all of which use my current system codec component configuration rather than built-in codecs. Just rechecked both my Snow Leopard and Lion systems. Am using QT X and just downloaded MPEG streamclip which also will not open the.
