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. From the beginning we kept Perian simple. Our stewardship has been a blast but it's time for all of us to move on. Our team has attained that goal and with that in mind, Perian will be retired soon. We wanted to simplify viewing your content. If you run into any problems, please refer to the for solutions to common XviD codec installation and playback problems.Ī notice to all of our users and supporters We began the Perian project over 6 years ago. To install the XviD codec, simply download the latest version of the codec available for your system and follow the installation instructions: (10.3MB) (Link) After you've installed the video codec on your system, your media player of choice should be able to play all XviD movies and videos. Then, I double-checked Safari under "Help" to check the list of internet plugins, but the VLC plugin isn't showing up in that list, even though the plugin file is in my internet plugin folder on my computer.XviD codec To play XviD videos you first need to install the XviD codec on your computer. Still, no difference when I tried to play the files. So I downloaded that, along with a plugin for it. Then I read online that Perian isn't really for streaming, just for downloaded files, so uninstalled that and reinstalled the xvid codec again.Īround this time, I read that VLC almost always worked for people. Then, I saw a lot of people saying you should use Perian instead (and to uninstall the xvid codec if you did this). I downloaded it, put the xvid component in the library/quicktime folder, restarted the computer and then tried again. I'm trying to stream some videos online but I keep getting messages that say I need to download the xvid codec to play them. So, I've been scanning the web for HOURS trying to get some help with this.
