Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: NO

Perian is useless. More often than not when I try and play a video in QuickTime or RealPlayer it will not play because I do not have the required codec, videos that I can get to play fine in Windows XP. All in all, Perian is more like a butter knife than a Swiss army knife.

Serves no purpose whatsoever - petrologist

I'm afraid you comment serves no purpose whatsoever, for it doesn't list the codecs missing. Remember that Perian provides codecs for many international standard multimedia formats. Microsoft isn't fond of these standards, and it offers its own formats or modifies standard ones so you must buy a Windows machine to play them.
