For Mac 10.9, the 2 components will convert wmv, avi, mkv, to QuickTime MOV upon opening the file with QuickTime player. After the conversion, you can begin to play your videos. However, if you are running a Mac 10.8 or older versions, you can play any video without converting wmv or avi to QuickTime.

You will need to use Windows Media Player to view.AVI files. Be aware the when you install WMP the installer will put a plug-in in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder. WMP is not a universal binary so the plug-in will not work on an Intel-Mac.

You should delete the plug-in. However, the WMP player that is installed in your Applications folder will work quite nicely via Rosetta, so you should be able to view.AVI files that you download.

If you prefer not to use WMP, you can instead download and install Flip4Mac. It also is not a universal binary, and although the player app will work via Rosetta, the plug-ins it installs will not work and should be deleted as in the above. Flip4Mac enables one to view WMP media through the QT player. Based on the subject of your question 'Quicktime Components Intel Mac,' I'm assuming you want to stay with Quicktime as your player. The first thing to do is to download and install a few codecs that will help free your QT player to handle those pesky AVI's. 1) Download the DivX component for your Quicktime Player here: Once correctly installed, try your movies again in Quicktime.

2) If you are still having issues, you can also download and install the XviD component here: 3) If you run into movies that won't work in your Quicktime Player after all of the above, I would also suggest downloading the Flip4Mac component, although this component is primarily for WMV files, and also, to get the latest Flip4Mac component to install properly on you intel machine, you need to run your installer under rosetta. Lastly, I have had great success with the VLC player build for intel mac as an alternative to those files Quicktime can't handle. You can download that player's latest release here.
