AVI problems for Intel based Mac

I tried this and it fixed my problem. =)

System:
Intel based machine running OSX.

Scenario:
1. Unable to use Quicktime Player to open AVI files. Quicktime crashes without prompting error message.
2. Unable to import AVI files to iMovie. Error message "The application iMovie HD quit unexpectedly" is shown.


If these problem persists even after relevant codecs such as DivX and XviD have been installed, search for this file "AviImporter-r7 (Intel).component" in your system. It should be under your "library" folder. Move the file into another location (who knows you might need it in the future) and the problem should be resolved.

Good luck.
