Default Well, it takes more than that.
Go to System Preferences > QuickTime > Plug-In > MIME settings > Then click the down arrow on the option "Video", and select AVI. Done!

To play DivX avis, you will need the codec: www.divx.com (I don't know if Quick Time supports them).

Red face General Macintosh?

Of course that is how you navigate in OSX.
In OS 9.2.2, the easy way is, go to apple menu>control panel>Quicktime settings>Browser settings>MIME settings

Cool
VLC will not only play avi but also supports most video formats. wmv, mpeg, real ect. the list goes on for ever. VLC is free plays alot of formats and you dont have to download 400 codecs.
