Hey guys I thought maybe you Mac users out there might be able to answer this one and make my life easier or at least my Downloads folder less messy in the short term.
I usually play a lot of DivX, Xvid via mkv and avi and even often with AC3 encoded audio. What is the easiest and simplistic way (read no or next to no compiling of 3rd party junk) that I can get these playing nicely via QuickTime or at least with DivX Player?
I'd opt to use WinAmp if it had a Mac OS X version, but alas it doesn't. I've looked into the AC3 filter Solutions?
On a side note I've already paid for that silly Flip4Mac so that I can playback AVI and WMV formats and there is those stupid paid for MPEG-2 codecs that you can buy too, I'm not looking into buying any more unless it's absolutely nessissary since I don't really agree with this policy of Apple's which force Mac users to pay for other media encoding than what the very limited Quick Time Player uses (MPEG-4 + AAC)
