Mac geeking alert!

For video playback on a Mac I mainly use VLC which plays just about everything, but if you want Quicktime (hence Front Row) to be able to play almost everything:

Perian. More info here.

With Perian installed, any OS X application that uses QuickTime can now use these additional media types:

• Divx, XviD, FLV, AVI
• MS-MPEG4 v1, MS-MPEG4 v2, MS-MPEG4 v3, DivX 3.11 alpha, 3ivX, Sorenson H.263, Flash Screen Video, Truemotion VP6
• These formats when they are inside an AVI: h.264, mpeg4, AAC, AC3 Audio, and VBR MP3.

Straight to the pool room.

Also, this looks, er, nice.
