Quicktime not opening .avi files

Question

Quicktime not opening .avi files

After I've upgraded to Lion, QuickTime stopped playing .avi movies.

I've Perian codec installed and I've tried to disable it and both with it enabled or disabled QuickTime does not work.

Moreover, I've another problem: after having selected the option "open this file always with VLC" the system is still not working properly since it keeps opening .avi videos with QT.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Remove Perian and restart.

Remove FlipFor Mac and restart (you are ?).

Install Perian and restart.

In Perian prefs plane : "desable" Load external subtitle

Work for me ! Good Luck.
