Perian 1.1.3 now available, provides lots of fixes

Will it work for h264 inside matroska containers?

"Apple's decoder now handles Baseline/Main Profile H.264"

Glad to see they finally came to their senses. I just wonder why it is only limited to the Baseline/Main profiles and not everything H.264. I had to uninstall Perian after it killed the framerates on all my HD H.264 files. It had to do with their decoder not supporting multiple CPUs.

Now with the new hardware supporting GPU acceleration, it is not even worth installing IMO. Anything regular QuickTime can't handle, VLC certainly should. Plus all the other hassles it can bring, I pass...

"codec support, including: AVI, DivX, and FLV"

AVI and FLV are not codecs, they are containers.

[The link issues seem resolved?]

I just have to say it: Perian is genius. QuickTime is basically useless without it, this is what QuickTime should have been. It plays everything. It updates without requiring a restart. Simple.

Which begs the question: Why didn't Apple include all those (free) codecs in QuickTime to begin with?

A decodec?
Wouldn’t that just be a decoder?

wtf is up with clicking on Perian and being taken back to TUAW? Are you guys retarded?

How about Indeo 5? Nothing uses 2/3 anymore.

I'm with Tide and David, I expect the links to take me to the subject's web site, not to another TUAW article. It used to drive me crazy and then you guys stopped. I hope you're not going back to doing this in all articles.

All the self refrenceing links on the AOL blogs are friggen annoying. It is like whack a mole trying to find the one that leads to what you are talking about.

Please use tags like a normal person.
