Title: Players
Post by: nikki on January 27, 2004, 06:44:02 PM: Hi,
I'm trying to open some AVi files I had in 0S9 and quicktime Pro won't open them so I went to my backup. VLC, that didn't work, so I went to my second backup, Mplayer, that didn't work.
Does anyone have other players that might work, I used to open them in 0S9.
I need to open them in 0SX,

I got Divix installed, I'm pretty sure I used Quicktime with OS9, but a older QuickTime. I think QuickTime is opening less and less stuff. Wasn't there some kind of Codec' file or something like that,??

Anyway

I doubt if QT is opening less than it used to.

It's just that it can't keep up with what someone cooks up in their basement.

By the way. Do you have QT Pro?

I always considered it $29 well spent.
