cant watch vid tutorials on mac!!!

I’m hoping someone can help me here! I’m absolutely new to blender but am really really keen to dive into it. Unfortunately, whenever I try to watch a video tutorial my mac doesnt seem to want to do it!! I’m checking out the videos on sites like blender.org where the videos are all streamed and seem to be DivX/AVI files. I have quicktime installed and should be able to play these files but can’t! Am I missing some software or do I need to change some settings?? I’ve played around with this for a while now and just can’t get it to work! I’m eager to not let this put me off learning Blender but I can’t learn it as good without the videos!!

Any help please?? cheers. Gdrum

There are several Codecs missing in the standard Quicktime.
You could install further QuicktimeComponents.
Search for:
Xiph QT (ogg/theora) files
Flip4Mac (avi/wmv/Windows)
Perian Component (xvid and much more)

Another Option is installing VLC for Mac, which brings a huge load of Codecs on the Mac, but is an extra player.
