• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I downloaded 2 AVI formatted videos from the internet, and AVI#1 played successfully; while AVI#2 displayed an error message saying "Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It might be available from the QuickTime components page." I clicked continue and it directed me to the page, but I didn't know what to download. QT can play AVI#2, but there was no audio present; while AVI#1 was played back successfully.

I tried playing AVI#2 with VLC, and it did have sound; but I have to make it work with QuickTime since when I was trying to burn the video to a DVD disc using iDVD, the sound wouldn't play too. Does anyone have an idea on what plug-in to download? Thanks in advance!
