ffdshow equivalent for the Mac

3

When I was still on Windows XP, I used ffdshow to take care of all my video and audio codecs needs (with fully customizable subtitles). I did not need any other video player except Windows Media Player.

Is there an ffdshow equivalent for the Mac? The objective is the same: that I shouldn't have to install any other video player, not even VLC, or the trial-bloatware-ridden DivX. I'm on Snow Leopard.

That should be 'perian':

Perian is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats.

It uses code from ffmpeg, liba52, libmatroska. You can grab it from:
