How can I play a avi format on my mac?

Try using VLC.

AVI isn’t a format; it’s a container. Some types of AVIs can’t be played in Mac OS X.

VLC is Quitting and giving me an error message, any key on this ?

And what does the error message say?

"VLC media player requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher."

What OSX version do you have?

I have the latest 2015 Mac, and it says that I can't use VLC on my Mac because it's a Windows program. Other solutions?

Here is VLC for Mac
