BRUNO NEESER Running Perian on a Leopard mac mini 2ghz FullHD core2duo HTPC works well. Some subtitles have problems coming up. I reinstalled leopard and did a fresh install of Perian and got less subtitle problems.

Overall function is very good. MKV videofiles can take time to startup, but once started they run smoothly. High bitrate mpeg files seems to stutter at first, after the initial stutters (usually 5-15 s) video plays well.

I really like the easy installation and problem free (no crashes or hangs) operation of this quicktime codec panel. On my HTPC site www.partaj.nu I have some more hints on setting up a nice HTPC system.

The dedicated team of developers are worth the praise from all users. Amazing set of codecs allows trouble free playback of almost all major formats. I am confident the small subtitle glitch will be fixed soon and then get a solid 5 star rating. (Version 1.1)

AKROBAT Indeed, this update is a nightmare. Takes up to 1.30 mins to simply open Quicktime.

Also .srt don't work. No subtitles at all. (Version 1.1)

EMET1 Problem: all my avi files took forever to load with QT 7.4.1 & Perian 1.1. Also, Front Row locked up when trying to play them, which was the deal killer for me.

Having spent waaay too long removing other bits from my QT Plugins folder, I realized Perian 1.1 was the last thing I had updated.

So, those who are having issues with Perian 1.1 & Quicktime 7.4.1 (which seems to be a lot of people including myself), fear not. Uninstall Perian in System Prefs. Download Perian 1.0. I got mine from

http://mac.majorgeeks.com/download6011.html

and install. It will ask you if you want to remove the newer version (well, duh), enter your admin password. The Perian pref pane will open. Now click install, admin password again.

I logged out and back in and all my avi files play like buttah. And Front Row and I are best friends again.
