'QuickTime on Mavericks' is not QuickTime anymore - it is 'AV Foundation'. QuickLook and QuickTime Player are based on this 'new QuickTime'. 'AV Foundation' comes from iOS, was implemented for Mac OS X too and does not offer extensions (and will never) like codecs / plugins. The.sit file contains a QuickTime component, which delegates the playback of XviD videos to the DivX codec installed on your system. To install the XviD delegate component on Mac OS X, put the XVIDDelegate.component file in the /Library/QuickTime folder and then reboot. MOV was developed for Mac OS and QuickTime application by Apple. MOV supports MP4 codecs like H.264 while AVI does not. On the Internet, where the compatibility demands are high, AVI had become very popular. This format is supported by almost all players, even portable devices like video players and video smart phones. In this way, you can not only watch AVI in QuickTime, but also transfer them to iPhone, iPad, iPod and more for playback on the go. To convert AVI movies for play with QuickTime, Aimersoft Video Converter for Mac is highly recommended. With it, you can fast finish the conversion and then play your AVI files on QuickTime without any troubles!
