Perian, known as the "Swiss-army knife of QuickTime components," is an extremely popular QuickTime plugin that allows you to watch a huge variety of video codecs from within Apple's native video player. Perian is a QuickTime plugin that allows Mac users to play a video of almost all kinds of file formats, such as DivX, XviD, FLV, AVI, MPEG-4, 3ivX.
