Unfortunately QuickTime, the default player for Mac, can’t play AVI files. For those who own Mac computers, the error message "the file is not compatible with QuickTime Player" is an ordinary situation. It can be really annoying!

A third-party video player for Mac is a great solution. We’ll show you how to play AVI files up to the latest version of macOS with Elmedia Player.

How to play AVI on Mac with Elmedia Player:

1. Install the Elmedia app. You can download this app for free from this elmedia-video-player.com.
2. Run the application on Mac.
3. Choose the AVI file you want to play (see below for more details).
4. Enjoy!

You can play files in Elmedia Player library like so:
- Drop the file onto the Elmedia window or its icon in the Dock.
- Right-click the file in Finder and choose "Open With." Select Elmedia Player and open the file.
