The source code will then be posted to an open-source community (Google Code or GitHub), where others can try maintaining it if they so choose. Unfortunately, the developers have decided to move on to other projects, and in a posting on the Perian Web site, said they will be halting support for the software after 90 days from its final release. It often was used to overcome the limited default codec support in Apple's QuickTime player. The Perian project began over six years ago, and the plug-in has been a simple and straightforward way to add extensive media support to OS X without juggling multiple media players.Ĭommonly referred to as the Swiss Army Knife for QuickTime, the Perian plug-in included a number of the codecs required to view most video formats available via the Web and was the answer for many who were trying to find a way to view obscure, outdated video files. The development team of the Perian plug-in for QuickTime has announced today that it will no longer be making future versions of the plug-in.
