MP4 Codec for Picasa Now Quicktime has gone...

[Capn Bloggs]

Apple recently discontinued support for Quicktime, and if QT is uninstalled, Picasa will no longer show MP4s unless an external codec is installed. I have found that installing the Klite basic package works, but it looks like dozens of codecs are installed, which I'm wary of (I have since done a rollback of my system to pre-Klite). The question for the masses is: what specific codec in that package is used by Picasa to display MP4s?

I think it's still using the Haali Media Splitter

Thanks Bushy, I'll do a re-install with only that selected.

Update: Klite didn't have the HAALI Spitter that I could see so I uninstalled it again and rolled back. I then installed the HAALI Splitter (named the Matroska Splitter), from here https://haali.su/mkv/ and installed it. During the install, I deselected all options part from MP4.

Picasa now sees MP4s and my other video programs don't appear to have been messed up.

Thanks, Bushfiva! :D
