Perian Troubleshooting Reportdoes not recognise mkv as video file - Version: 1.1.3, 4/2/2009 07:09PM PST

This is the first version of Perian I have installed, when trying to open an mkv it does not recognise it as a video file.

the mkv trying to be played is as downloaded from Vuze/Azureus. The downloads included an .mkv and an mkv.asx file and .mkv.asx file has a quicktime icon but shows an error of Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)

Can anyone help me with this?

This is one of the first apps I install on every Mac!
Definitly a must have for every videophile out there! :-)

The (new?) builtin autoupdate works great!

Perian Troubleshooting ReportiChat Problem - Version: 1.1.3, 2/3/2009 01:50PM PST

Perian Version 1.1.3 appears to be creating a problem with iChat. For confirmation, go to the Apple support pages (in particular Apple.com > Support > Discussions > iChat AV) and do a search on Perian. The problem is that the Mac computer with Perian Version 1.1.3 cannot see video from another computer during any iChat session.
The cure is to remove Perian Version 1.1.3 and install Perian 1.1.2 instead.
