Using Mac OS X, I'm trying to view CaptainMike's *.avi's from his site. It seems the codec he used to encode them is not available for Mac. Anyone have any advice (other than buying a PC)?

What codec do they use, eh?

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

There's an alternative media player to Quicktime, Realplayer or what-have-you, namely Media Player Classic. I think it may have support for more file-types and variations than the aforementioned thingies.

I don't know if it runs on a Mac, haven't tried it on one.

It might work, and if not, well it was all I could think of.

I'm way to lazy to look up Mike's url, but PM or post it and I'll see if I can get it to play with any of the OS X players I have....

Or you can ask the folks at macaddict forum's "digital hub" sub-group...

Oh and Capt Mike - boo, boo, cross platform is the way to go!

EDIT:

Hey - check this site out!

Maybe one of their methods will work....

Thanks for the help, guys. Earlier today the VLC client's site was down, for some reason. I downloaded it tonight successfuly.
