T Tramain macrumors newbie Original poster Jun 21, 2009 9 0 Aug 21, 2010 #1 I'm trying to play some .avi files and .wmv in safari but they won't play... I've tried VLC and Flip4Mac... No any else? I would like something like Perian but a internet plugin.

But VLC Player plays close to 98% of .AVI files. For more details, surf: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5758/vlc-media-player Good luck.

Why not just use VLC for everything...that's what it's meant for, so you don't have to have a million things installed.
