Why QuickTime won't play all type of AVI movies on macOS Sierra or Windows 10? Officially, QuickTime only natively plays AVI movie files encoded with Motion JPEG, QuickTime won't play AVI videos encoded with DivX, XviD, H.264, H.265, WMV and other video codecs. A quick and effective solution to playing any AVI movies on QuickTime player is to convert AVI to QuickTime highly compatible video formats like MOV, MP4, M4V, etc. So, you can open and view AVI on Mac OS X easily. Plus, it's also available for you to transfer and share the AVI files with other Apple devices.

After being installed, Perian works automatically when playing AVI files with QuickTime in Mac. However, you need to note that QuickTime won't play all media types, including AVI files with codecs unaccepted by QuickTime.
