I bought a new Mac (I'm a Mac newbie, this is my first Mac) I got a few .avi files that I wanna see and Quicktime 7 doesn't plays them. What codecs do I need?

VLC says
"main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."

Then you are out of luck...it's probably using the latest and greatest WMV codecs.

AVI is ridiculous. It's a single filename extension that represents a gajillion differing file formats.
Grr

Nope, can't view it. Do you know what it's supposed to be? iPod nano TV ad or something?

Popped it open on my PC. Don't worry, its not that exciting of a video. Just a guy showing the edges of the nano.
