I happened on this little QuickTime add on the other day, Perian. Just like it says it’s the “swiss army knife for QuickTime.” It’s seems amazing the amount of media that is supported. From the Perian website:

Perian enables QuickTime application support for additional Media Types:

AVI, FLV, and MKV file formats

MS-MPEG4 v1 & v2, DivX, 3ivX, H.264, FLV1, FSV1, VP6, H263I, VP3, HuffYUV, FFVHuff, MPEG1 & MPEG2 Video, Fraps, Windows Media Audio v1 & v2, Flash ADPCM, Xiph Vorbis (in Matroska), MPEG Layer II Audio

AVI support for: AAC, AC3 Audio, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3

Subtitle support for SSA and SRT

This looks like a great little addition to Quicktime.
