How do I find the home directory for QuickTime or any other Software

[clj7]

Just got my first mac today, so I'm new to everything .

I'm trying to install the Xvid codec for Quicktime. And in the ReadMe file it tells me this his how I install the codec:

To install this component, just drag the File "XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha.component" into Library/QuickTime. The Library directory can be found either at your home directory (to install just for the actual user) or at the top-level of your startup volume (this needs an administrator account). DO NOT PUT IN: /System/Library/QuickTime.
It is possible that the QuickTime directory does not yet exists. In that case you can create it yourself. Pay attention to capital letters if you use a case sensitive file system (i.e. UFS).

But I haven't got a clue where the Home Directories are.

Any help? Thank you for your time

Home directory is the user folder, the one with your documents, music, pictures and movies in it. There is a folder in there called Library, open it and go to the Quicktime folder.

Try downloading Perian, it gives quicktime a host of codecs for playing almost everything.
