Avi file help
I was given an avi file on a flash drive. It's 37mb. I need to use some of the footage in FCP. It plays slowly in my viewer and when I drag it to the timeline it won't render. I don't need the audio. Help!
Okay, I deleted F4M and then the file's screen was white with no audio. I researched and opened the file in Rosetta. Now the screen is black but stays black while it plays with no audio. Here is the info on the file.
Format: 720 X 480 Millions
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100kHz
FPS: 28:30
Data Size: 34.9 MB
Data Rate: 2518.26 kbits/sec
Duration: 00.01:53:64
720 X 480 pixels (actual)

We bought our daughter a Flip Video camera for Christmas. I was able to download the videos but now they play with sound and a white screen instead of video. The files are AVI. Someone please help me figure out what the heck to do!
Search these forums.
In a nushell: According to the directions you install the codec contained on the Flip onto your Mac. Then grab the videos from the DCIM folder and save them to your Mac. You should be able to watch them. -
I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!
I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road. -
i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?
Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps. -
No Sound playing AVI files in Quicktime Pro - help!
Help! I just bought QT Pro for Windows(Xp) to convert my AVI files to Mpeg4 for my Ipod. The Apple Store sales guy promised it could be done. I see video but no sound on all of the AVI files. For example, on 2 of my AVI video files, according to Gspot, the video codecs are "divx 3 low motion" and "Xvid" and they are installed on my pc. According to Gspot, the audio codec required is "0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3" which can play on
--> {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)}
--> {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}
which are both installed on my pc, yet I have no sound. I am stuck! The bit rate is 128. Should I be using another audio codec??? Where can I get it? Help! Anyone?Some of the avi files created on PCs use variable bit rate mp3 souind. QT will not play that type of mp3 in avi files.
One way to deal with the issue is to convert the mp3 to a QT-friendly format. You can try this process, using this freeware Windows program: VirtualDub
Open the problem file in VirtualDub. Set the Video mode to Direct Stream Copy. That will copy the video to the new file with no change. Set the Audio to Full Processor Mode. Then set the compression to IMA compression. Now use Save As Avi in the File menu to make a new file with a new name. Since only the audio is being changed it is a fairly rapid process.
One last thing. To do this you do have to have the Windows codecs for those video formats installed. That is, you have to be able to play them in Windows Media Player. QT uses completely different codecs. -
Some .avi files dont open with QuickTime or MPlayer. Please help!
Hi! I have few .avi files which are not played by QuickTime and when I open them with MPlayer OS X 2, the sound is on but the video doesnt come up. Please help!
Hi Niel, Installed both. Both play the sound but NO video.. When opened in MPEG Streamclip no messages appeared so, there was nothing to accept. Appreciate your reply but if you know any other way of working this out please help. Many thanks Niel!

Photoshop 6 - Cannot open AVI files or fix codecs - help !
I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec. This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem. The codec was tentatively identified as: C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm" codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !See your other post. The forum was offline for a while, so things may not have shown up in the way they should.

I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home. It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me? It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis. -
Help with AVI files on Desktop!!
I have two AVI files on the desktop that I want to put into imoive to edit them, but imovie won't import them. I tried by going to the import movie under file but they are both grayed out. THen I tried to rename them, but still they were grayed out. Please someone help!!!
I have two AVI files on the desktop that I want to put into imoive to edit them, but imovie won't import them.
iMovie '08 will only import files which it can edit. If audio and/or video compression format is not editable, then it will not import. For instance, many AVI files use DVI ADPCM compressed audio with M-JPEG video. In this case the audio is not compatible but the video is so the file will not import. In such a case you would have two options. The first is to change the audio, keep the video an import the modified file. The easier option would be to use a conversion application like QT Pro ($30), GarageBand (included in iLife), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hb (pay-ware) or a similar application to convert both audio and video to iMovie '08 compatible files for import. In most cases, even iMovie HD (free download for iLife users) will convert AVI files as part of the import process. -
Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files
i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you -
I can't export any video as an avi. file, any help or ideas?
I own Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and after finishing up a video and rendering it I try to export it with unexpected results. After clicking 'Export', 'Media', I choose to export as a 'Microsoft AVI' file and no matter which settings I use I cannot get it to work. The Adobe Media Encoder starts but no file appears in the queue no matter how long I wait or how hard I try to fix the problem.
Does anybody have any ideas, help, or a solution to this problem?
Anything that can help will be greatly appreciated!Welcome to the forum.
First, a couple of questions:
What is the upgraded version of CS4?
What OS and version are you using?
Do you have the MS AVI DV CODEC's installed on the system?
Good luck,

I am using OS 10.7 Lion. Quicktime will not play avi files. One support forum gave 2 links to get the proper codecs but I got a 404 error. Can anyone help?
You can also use VLC

It woks very well, can read almost anything, and also lets you do conversions to other formats. -
Help getting AVI files into PE12
I have AVI videos from some cheap Hitachi HD cameras which won't load in PE12. The files load as just audio, but play back fine on the computer.
I've read the various threads on similar issues but haven't found a good work around yet.
GSpot shows the codec as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.
I have tried using FFMpeg to rewrap the files as mp4 as shown in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854115 , but I just get an unsupported codec error when I import the mp4s.
I've found that installing k-lite codec pack lets the video play, but the playback goes jerky after a few seconds.
I copied the reports from GSpot and MediaInfo. I really want to find a way to get these working without doing full conversions of all the files each time, since this has damaged the quality in the past. If conversion is the only option, can anyone suggest exactly how to convert these files without losing any quality?
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

As has been pointed out, the H.264 AVCHD CODEC, inside the AVI wrapper is non-standard, but some camera mfgrs. insist on doing that. The problem is that Premiere (either flavor) is not coded to look for H.264 inside an AVI. While AVI can contain a lot of different CODEC's, having H.264 inside is not what most programs expect.
Hope that Neale's suggetion works for you.
As far as editing ANY H.264 material, the main apect of a computer, that will come into play is the CPU. An underpowered computer will have issues playing it smoothly, as it takes a lot of CPU cycles to work with that material, under good circumstances. In the provided information, I did not see the specs. of your computer, but if the CPU is less than a very fast i5, playback performance may weill suffer.
Good luck,

Help Please! working with avi files.
I need to import an avi file (320 x 240) into FCP 3. The clip will be composited with a title that was originally in eps format which I have converted into a PSD file.
When I put them on my sequence it both need rendering. I have adjusted my sequence settings to match the files but still rendering is necessary.
The avi properties are:
320x240
30 fps
6.8 MB / S
Alpha : none/ignore
Composite: normal
pixel aspect: square
Compressor field is blank
Sequence Settings are:
320x240 Multimedia (large)
30 fps
Data Rate field is blank
Alpha field is blank
Composite: normal
pixel aspect: square
Compressor: DV/DVC Pro - NT
The PSD file also needs rendering to view. This is when they are just individually side by side on the timeline, not even stacked above one another. How can I get both the avi file and PSD file to play without rendering?
My deadline for this intro clip is tomorrow and I need help quickly!I was going to wait till you bumped your post again.
Don't do that.
Please.
There are dozens of AVI codecs that have been obsolete for ten years and even more that never made it to the Macintosh. QT may or may not be able to open them. If you can play them, export from QTP to conventional DV and bring the newly created copy of the movie into a conventional DV sequence in FCP. There are other AVI conversion utilities.
