Everyone in my dorm is totally stoked on the Divx and Xvid formats but I couldn't seem to get them to run on my girlfriends iBook.
I was just wondering what format everyone uses to watch movies on your Macs. MP4 (A digital multimedia format most commonly used to store video and audio, subtitles and still images.) MP4 (MPEG 4) is actually a standard that Apple really pushed with Quicktime 6. It is known to have the best video quality of all three streaming formats listed here. Naturally, MOV is the standard and best video format for Mac. You can change the default media player for any audio or video file. You only need the right player – a 3rd party software on your Mac to get the format played. SWF is a common macro media format now owned by Adobe and is used by many people to deliver multimedia files across the web, safely. It easily reproduces all popular as well as less common media formats, such as FLV, SWF, WMV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MP3, DAT, FLAC, M4V, MPG, MKV, Blu-ray unencrypted discs and many others. Elmedia Player is the best free Mac video player because its playback capabilities are beyond competition.
