Jan 26, 2014 2:25 AM in response to sassdonoby mauzzz,Quicktime can't play .avi files. There used to be a codec add-on (Perian) but it's not compatible with Mavericks.
But you can:
- convert the .avi to something Quicktime compatible (for example .mp4) using Handbrake (handbrake.fr)
- use a different video player such as VLC (videolan.org) which can play any video file
