A notice to all of our users and supporters
We began the Perian project over 6 years ago. We wanted to simplify viewing your content. Our team has attained that goal and with that in mind, Perian will be retired soon. Our stewardship has been a blast but it's time for all of us to move on.
Download QuickTime Player 10.5 for Mac from our website for free. This free software for Mac OS X was originally produced by Apple Inc. This Mac download was checked by our antivirus and was rated as safe. The application is sometimes distributed under different names, such as 'QuickTime Player 7', 'QuickTime Player 2', 'QuickTime Player copy'.

From the beginning we kept Perian simple. Our preferences were minimal, updating was easy, and we gradually grew the product to add in extras like subtitles and different formats. We've contributed a lot. Today, Perian stands as complete as it ever will be under our stewardship.
There are some projects that we never got to. As an example, we would have liked an official, flexible, and well-documented import API to speed up MKV. We hit a brick wall there. Still, we reached a great stopping point and Perian's installed userbase proves how valuable this tool became to so many people.
- QuickTime Player help. In QuickTime Player, you can play video or audio files. QuickTime Player uses onscreen controls similar to a CD or DVD player.
- Perian can be used with all QuickTime-supporting apps, including QuickTime Player, NicePlayer, and QTAmateur. The Flip4Mac (Windows Media) and XiphQT (Ogg) components add support for some formats not included in Perian. The internet TV platform Miro and Airport Express streaming app Airfoil include Perian.
- QuickTime does not also support the codec (i.e., DivX) used in compression done on the Windows operating systems (or other systems apart from Mac). Solution: Try to install Perian (a QuickTime component) or other add-ons/plug-ins. Make sure that your QuickTime player is up-to-date (from QuickTime X to QuickTime 7) and is compatible with add-on.
- Now you can add and play the converted H.265 files in QuickTime player on Mac with ease. Some guys find VLC media player, a free and open source player has added H.265 codec support that enables you to play H.265/HEVC videos. So, if you wanna view H.265 files on Mac, you may try to install and use VLC to play H.265 under Mac OS X.
Starting 90 days after the final Perian release, we will no longer provide support. We'll wrap up our loose ends, pack up our bags, and move on to new and exciting projects.
Here's what our roadmap looks like:
- We will soon release the final version of Perian, including all the fixes we've worked on since the last release. It may -- or may not -- work on 10.8.
- We will post the source code to either Google Code or Github.
Here's what we're looking for from you, our users
- Download Niceplayer , it's pretty great -- and those folks are doing a fantastic job.
- Support each other on our Google Group list . We mean this. Just because we aren't helping anymore on a regular basis, that doesn't mean that you can't.
- Are you a developer? Pick up where we left off. Join us on #perian on irc.freenode.net. Yeah, we're all pretty busy -- so stick around after asking your question. You may have to wait a bit for an answer. Chalk it up to asynchronous tech support.
- Want to donate? We appreciate the thought. It's hard times these days and your money will make a bigger impact elsewhere. Consider Child's Play , Ronald McDonald House , or the EFF . We no longer accept donations.
A final word: If and when Perian stops working, try looking into VLC or MPlayer OS X. Sure, they're not Perian, but they offer great software still under development.

Part 3: Solution to Play Video/Audio Format Files Unsupported by QuickTime
For the video and audio files beyond the above-mentioned list, QuickTime will go on strike. Fortunately Apple users may call for its plugin for help, like the popular Perian that is known as a free, open-source QuickTime component, letting you play any media file type you want once it is installed. Unfortunately, a great number of people complained that perian is incompatible with Mac Mavericks, let along the Yosemite, and want an alternative solution. In request for this, we have screened out some useful third-party video converter software to solve the problem - MacX Video Converter Pro is the most remarkable one to change the file into QuickTime video format, or convert QuickTime to MP4.
Quicktime Player For Mac Os X
It is the Swiss-army knife, letting you convert any videos like MKV, WMV, 3GP, MTS, AVCHD, FLV, AVI, etc to MOV, MP4, MP3, etc. You just load the unreadable video, choose the MP4 or MOV format from 'Mac General Video' and then click 'RUN' button to start the video conversion. Just three steps, you can finish the video conversion and therefore playback any video in QuickTime. What's more, you can also DIY your converted video file like crop, trim, add watermark or add subtitle to better suit your QuickTime player.
