I don't work for Apple or know their actual reasoning, but. It does not make any sense to me why Apple do not include all of these codecs as Standard into all of their QuickTime versions, (E.g., properly created MJPEG/PCM AVI files are still 'natively' supported.) I believe XviD, DivX, and 3ivX are all third-party/proprietary variations of MPEG4 compression which do not/may not adhere to JVT standards which are required for QTX/7 player player compatibility. It is still 'natively' supported by QTX and QT7 but most of the video codecs used to compress data are not. avi is the problem now with QT, basically QTtime does not support these codecs.ĪVI is a generic 'legacy' file container-not a compression format. Like VLC, HandBrake contains its own built-in codec support based on FFmpegX which was, I believe also used in the Perian codec package for QT 7.

If your goal is the conversion of your older file formats to OS/IOS 'native' compatible formats, then the free HandBrake app would likely be your best bet here. If all you want to do is play your files without conversion and don't need 'native' player support for Apple devices (iPod 5th Gen, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, TV, etc.), then this player is probably your best solution. The VLC player has its own codec support built into the player and so it does not need to relay on your system's codec configuration as QTX and QT7 do. I found a Media Player called VLC, it is a free and open source Media Player, Encoder and Streamer and it plays all my files without converting anything.

As indicated above, your 3ivX/MP3 files would probably play in QT 7 if you installed the Perian code package. The older, 'legacy' compatible QT 7 structure supports most (but not all) of the codecs supported by QT X but can also access third-party and proprietary codecs which the user may choose to install, e.g., DivX, XviD, 3ivX, WMV, etc.

The newer QT X structure only supports the standard codec package that comes with the system installer and Apple 'Pro' video editing add-on codecs. Mavericks has two separate QT support structures embedded in the operating system. I downloaded QT 7 player but it does not play the. It'll help give a clearer picture of what's going on.
