Perian ReviewPerian should just about be packaged with Quicktime its that necessary - Version: 1.1.4, 10/11/2009 11:06PM PST

tommmyboy_sf
I'm running it 1.1.4 on my G5 PPC and my Intel Macbook, both running 10.5.8, without any problems at all. I use video daily, editing it, watching it, and converting it, and have never had a problem with Perian. I couldn't do most of the things do very easily or quickly without Perian. I would say it primarily gets its biggest work out with the Nice Player, my preferred player because its slick and has a play list ;)

If you're running Snowleopard and experiencing issues, head over to the Perian forum http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewforum.php?f=25 and see what people are talking about and what the discussion is... the developers and people who know their video stuff often contribute to the discussions so the forum is very valuable.

Perian Reviewplease update! - Version: 1.1.4, 9/17/2009 11:42PM PST

still doesn't work with Snow Leopard. The subtitles (srt files) feature is broken.
other than that, great application. can't see using quicktime without it.
if it wasn't for this one problem I would never use VLC
