Hi,

small but anoying problem.
I importet some photos in Iphote from my siter her camera and there were also some movies on it.
The pictures are just fine, but the problem is that i cant play the video clips.
If i play them in Iphoto (via QuickTime) i can only see a black screen and some sound.

I know it had to do with codecs etc, so i downloaden alot of codecs but no succes.
The file is AVI btw.

So i was hoping somone here could tell me what codec i can use.

Thanks

Yes you do need Flip4mac to play Windows Media Video. This is info from the Perian Web site.

"Windows Media? is unsupported, use the Flip4Mac WMV Components instead"
