What video files can you play on a Mac?

Answer by  FMA (26)

Out of the box, a Mac should be able to play most mainstream video files. Any file not supported should easily be remedied by the many video codecs available on the internet. If you encounter a video file that cannot be played, do a quick search on the internet for the file extension's codec.
