Nothing is more frustrating to see than an angry mac user who complains for the wrong reason.

Yes, the Mac Maya crowd is growing fast and the SM gang here aknowledge it by their choice of codec. Personnaly, I dont see the market share of the mac going over 30% for the Mac. Its already very high if you consider that probably as many are linux users.

Just to inform you, AVI arent windows files, they are kinda like a "container" for media data. AVI can contain movies under various codecs. Some of them are mac compatible some are not.

The one used by SimplyMaya are mac compatible, only the old wma arent compatible with OSX because microsoft did not port the codec to OSX. But if you can run in classic mode, you can hear the sound in OS9.

Personnaly, I think everyone should use QuickTime but the codec they use at SM is well good enough, I just dont understand why I sometime get a lot of artifacts while playing and sometimes not, for the same sequence.
