AVI files copied from PC to new iMac are not playing. Message is The document “Mural.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available. As far as I know I have the moist recent version of quicktime. HELP! Please.

I cannot get the AVI files to play on my iMac. They were copied over from the PC and I can see them but when trying to open them I get the message "The document “Mural.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." As far as I know I have the most recent version og Qucktime.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.
