Hopefully someone will take up the project and keep Perian alive. This is really unfortunate news since Perian is a must have for any OS X user. PS We would like to thank Erica Sadun for helping us write this letter, and for general guidance. Thanks for all of your support over the years.

Sure, they're not Perian, but they offer great software still under development. We no longer accept donations.Ī final word: If and when Perian stops working, try looking into VLC or MPlayer OS X. Consider Child's Play, Ronald McDonald House, or the EFF. It's hard times these days and your money will make a bigger impact elsewhere.

Want to donate? We appreciate the thought.

Chalk it up to asynchronous tech support. You may have to wait a bit for an answer. Yeah, we're all pretty busy - so stick around after asking your question.

Are you a developer? Pick up where we left off.

Just because we aren't helping anymore on a regular basis, that doesn't mean that you can't.

Download Niceplayer, it's pretty great - and those folks are doing a fantastic job.

Here's what we're looking for from you, our users

We will post the source code to either Google Code or Github.We will soon release the final version of Perian, including all the fixes we've worked on since the last release.We'll wrap up our loose ends, pack up our bags, and move on to new and exciting projects. Starting 90 days after the final Perian release, we will no longer provide support. Still, we reached a great stopping point and Perian's installed userbase proves how valuable this tool became to so many people. As an example, we would have liked an official, flexible, and well-documented import API to speed up MKV. There are some projects that we never got to. Today, Perian stands as complete as it ever will be under our stewardship. Our preferences were minimal, updating was easy, and we gradually grew the product to add in extras like subtitles and different formats. Our stewardship has been a blast but it's time for all of us to move on.įrom the beginning we kept Perian simple.

Fortunately, it can be extended with additional components, and the good folks at Perian have provided a free QuickTime component which provides support for a large number of popular audio and video formats. Our team has attained that goal and with that in mind, Perian will be retired soon. QuickTime is able to play a nice variety of files, but it also misses out on many popular formats. We wanted to simplify viewing your content. We began the Perian project over 6 years ago. Its developers have posted the following notice on their homepage. This allows me to spit out a half dozen different components without having to modify source.Perian, a free open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats, is coming to an end. Macs, without FCP installed, require the addition of an XDCAM EX decoder, either the free Perian XDCAM component or XD Decode from Calibrated Software. You’ll notice I’ve modified the Xcode project to add separate build targets for each component (plus a few others, not posted here).

On the plus side, they let you play all those Quicktime files that your Final Cut using friends give you.Īnd of course, the source for all of this. These are, of course, UNSUPPORTED, and may very well leap out of your computer and murder you with an axe. Just put them in your Library/Quicktime folder. I chose to break them into separate components so you can pick and choose only what you need.

So, I’m posting four different Quicktime components. I’ve been hacking on some patches for Perian to allow it to playback the “pro codecs” that you normally can’t play without Final Cut Studio installed.
