Alternative to Perian for Mountain Lion

Have you upgraded to the Mountain Lion OSX 10.8? Do you recognize that the "Playback" of Perian can’t be detected, when you finish the upgrading job? The Perian always has nice compatibility with old versions like Snow Leopard, Leopard, etc. Thanks to the a simple and straightforward Perian plug-in, the QuickTime becomes more capable, more file formats supported like AVI, FLV, MKV and DivX.

Will the Perian run on Mountain Lion in the future? No. Early in this May, the Perian development project had announced it would no longer be making future versions of the plug-in.
