  • AVI is an open source multimedia container format that stands for Audio Video Interleave. It specifies how video and audio information is stored in a file. It enables simultaneous playback of the file's interleaved audio and video.
  • As a result, the lack of codec support in QuickTime Player is to blame for many of the problems associated with AVI playback on Mac. Your movies will not play unless you have an app that has the required codecs to play AVI files.
  • If you wish to play your movies with QuickTime Player, you must first find the appropriate codec. Follow these simple steps to get started:
  • In QuickTime Player, open 'File.'
  • From the Window menu, choose 'Show Movie Info.'
  • Whether your version of QuickTime Player does not support that codec package, you can visit their official website to see if they provide any support for the codec you require.
