Watching Video Files (MKV, AVI) PC too MAC

Here is my story, I filled up a 16 GB flash drive for a friend of mines with a whole bunch of movies in MKV an AVI format, all movies are in single MKV an AVI containers as shown from my windows PC.
But when my friend opens the flash on her MAC computer, she has explained to me that she gets audio but no video when playing said movies from the flash with the player she is using, so I referred to her a alternative Codec Pack for MAC users as well as a suggested media player that plays all formats.
But the main problem she is having is, when she opens the flash drive the movies are presented to her in segmented from the flash on her MAC, rather than the whole MKV or AVI container I originally put on the flash drive.
So… do MAC users need to use joiner programs to combine movie files?
An what are good K Lite Codec Pack alternatives for MAC users, as well as Media players?
I was told Quick Time is a good player for movies on MAC?

Answer #3
I don’t quite understand what you say or she explained it poorly.
Quick time is a decent player for mac but it doesn’t support all media.
Tell her to download VLC, it’s much alike the windows version and has support to most media files.
After adding the VLC player onto the apps there might be a filetype association problem with quick time still being the main app to open with eventhough it wont play them, just right click -> open with -> VLC. i wont get into details on how to associate VLC with specific filetypes as she wont be needing that for the time being.
Hope this helps

Will pas on VLC too her an see how she makes out?
Yeah… it’s kinda confusing to me as well, being as I have not seen her problem an she is explaining to me what her problem is.
But I am no MAC user, so I would not know?
