Unfortunately, when you switch to Mac OS X, K-Lite Codec is no longer a solution. The list below will provide you with alternatives that can successfully replace K-Lite Codec for Mac. These tools will install all the necessary codecs needed for playback of all sorts of videos on your Mac. This update adds the following video codecs for use by QuickTime-based applications: Apple Intermediate Codec Apple ProRes AVC-Intra DVCPRO HD HDV XDCAM HD / EX. Free Apple Mac/OS X. Audio Codecs Lame for Mac OS; Lame 3.100 for Mac OS Updated: 22 Oct 2017 Developer. LAME MP3 Encoder for Mac OS is a free MP3 encoder which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. The main features of this encoder are: - being compiled as libmp3lame.dylib, - working.
This appendix describes the audio data and file formats supported in Core Audio in OS X v10.5.
Each audio file type lists the data formats supported for that type. That is, a converter exists to convert data from the particular file format to any of the listed data formats. Some data formats (such as AC3) cannot be converted to a linear PCM format and therefore cannot be handled by standard audio units.
A Core Audio Format (CAF) file can contain audio data of any format. Any application that supports the CAF file format can write audio data to the file or extract the data it contains. However, the ability to encode or decode the audio data contained within it is dependent on the audio codecs available on the system.
