Codec for avi

anyone know where to get the codec for quicktime to play & export avi's?

Avi is a container that allows it to contain mutimedia content in various compression formats. QT already knows how to open or export avi files bur the default installation lacks the decompressors for many compression methods. These two sites have installers for codecs (COmpressors/DECompressors) that will play and export many but not all avi files in QT.
www.divx.com
www.3ivx.com
Note that some people (at least in MacOS) have reported problems with QT 7 and the most recent codecs from those sites. There is no general problem with QT 6 in MacOS or WIndows and no one has noted problems for QT 7 in Windows but use at your own risk until more people comment on QT 7 and these formats.
Also note that you need to purchase a QT Pro key ($30 US from an Apple Store) to export from the Player.

I presume you mean to play AVI. AVI is a container that can use many combinations of audio and video codecs. There is no single codec for AVI. Fortunately Perian enable Quicktime playback of many of these (but not in iTunes).
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats. 2012- No longer being developed but may still work.

Install codec for avi Premeire Elements 12

How does one install a codec for .avi in Premiere Elements 12 ? or do what ever is needed to allow .avi files created with a Canon G9 camera to be edited.

Bondz2
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Can we assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?
From what I have read, your camera is recording with video compression = MotionJPEG. This video compression can be a problem
for Premiere Elements. It is a toss up whether the issue involves the MotionJPEG codec not being available to Premiere Elements versus
the MotionJPEG being absent.
The classical remedies include...
a. Look for a utility that camera with the camera so that you can install the utility and get the MotionJPEG codec
or
b. Download and install the Morgan MotionJPEG codec as the tryout. If it works, then consider if it is worth the investment.
Morgan Multimedia - Product - M-JPEG Codec
This codec might be available from other sources. Not sure.
c. Convert the MotionJPEG to another format which is compatible with Premiere Elements and import that into the project.
Example: MotionJPEG.avi to DV.AVI with MPEGStreamclip.

All details can be customized and fine tuned depending on the follow up information that you post.

HT3775 where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

where do i go to get needed sound codec for avi to play on mac?

There is no single codec for videos that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the videos 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", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. Otherwise, you'll have to determine what codec was used for that audio track.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

Codec for .avi files

Hey; this may be an easy or confusing question, unfortunately I don't have alot of time on my hands lately, but i'm looking to view an .avi file and quicktime says i need a codec to view it; i click the link, and theres several codecs, some free, some not, any idea what codec i need to view .avi files, is it free, certain site? thnx, [email protected]

Microsoft, the inventor of the Audio Video Interleave format, no longer supports any of its uses.
They write proprietary codecs for all of their software including most video formats.
They've written their own version of codecs for the MPEG-4 format which also don't conform to the industry standards.
AVI is a "bucket". You can fill a bucket with water, dirt or strawberries. But it's still just a bucket.
Shame on Microsoft for even using the phrase AVI in any of its software.
Apple invented the .mov container and still supports its use. It is also just a bucket as is its .mp4 file extension.
At least .dv still means something that users can understand. And DivX is a bucket that wants to be a file extension. At least they know the difference.

Do i need a codec for avi files to play in flv

i have no mpeg moves files on my computer so when it says browse for your flv file it shows me nothing right.
i have to have flv files already encoded for them to view on my computer right.

If you have a registered version of Flash Professional, it comes with Adobe Media Encoder which you can use to create your FLV files. The following article should help
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/video_encoder.html
If you don't have Flash Professional, there are other encoders you can use. Riva FLV Encoder works pretty well on AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, WMV. View the online-help for a list of supported codecs.

Codec for avi to QT

Hi,
I'm editing a video (FCP 7) in which footage from different cameras with different formats will be sent to me. The first stuff that arrived is AVI (640-480). I don't know what will be coming in later. When transforming this AVI footage into QT files for FCP import, what would be the best codec to use? And similarly, what would be the best sequence settings since I don't know what is to come?
thanks!
Eve

Sounds like you need to convert to DV. Or ProRes SD if you like but file sizes will be bigger. But .avi is only a wrapper just like .mov and can contain a number of different codecs. Can you open it in QT and hit Cmd + I? What does the inspector say?

Hard to say if we don't know what else is going to come. What is going to be the output? Personally I almost always choose the lowest common denominator.

Recommend CODEC for AVI imports

I am converting my PPT files with animation to AVI so I can
import them into Captivate. I am using a Full Uncompressed AVI and
have had less than stellar success (see previous post of "Animation
Truncated").
I can create these AVI files with a variety of CODECs.
Can anyone recommend one that will create an acceptable AVI
for Captivate?
Thank you!

Hi Kelly
While I don't have a workaround to offer I might suggest an
approach that may help.
Consider reporting to Adobe a bug stating that AVI import
isn't working for you. My thought here is that perhaps the fine
folks at Adobe will come back and engage you in a dialog to ask
what CODEC you are using. Maybe that will reveal some of the
information you seek.

If that happens (and admittedly it's a long shot) please do

I have a problem - the program QuickTime player longer open files - gororit that codec for the opening of the program at all of the files that I opened have the extension avi. tried to remove a program, it is impossible.I tried to load the program from Apple, reinstalled. but I was wrong still going on! what to do?

before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.
SELECT AEBELN ALIFNR AKNUMV BVGABE BEBELP BGJAHR B~BELNR
        FROM EKKO AS A
        INNER JOIN EKBE AS B ON BEBELN = AEBELN
        INTO CORRESPONDING
        FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB WHERE B~VGABE = '2'.
if itab[] is not initial.
   SELECT EKPOEBELN EKPOMATNR EKPOTXZ01 EKPOWERKS EKPO~NETWR
          EKPOMENGE EKPOMWSKZ
      FROM EKPO

Where do I download for codec VTV.avi?

How do I download for codec VTV.avi? I cannot view a downloaded movie without it.

You most likely need to install Perian or VLC; it's also possible that no Mac OS X component can handle AVIs of that specific type.

File size extremely high for .avi after render PE 9

I'm very new to PE and have tried to learn quick to redact info (faces etc) in .avi files for a government agency. I was able to open the file (in the trial version) and make the track matte by dragging the original file to the timeline then dragging it again to the video 2 timeline for the top layer, Question 1) is this the same as copy and paste or am I doubling the size already? Anyway, I was able to get the matte and everything done. Now, to Render and save... I choose computer/avi again (I need to keep it the same) and it took 1 hr 45 min to render it, that seemed long to me but maybe not... but mainly the file size was then 100,883 kb! Starting with a 29.7 kb file. This is what my question is about....could this be right? I can't use it if this is what I get. So, here are the particulars as I got G-spot and looked it up, as per serveral suggestions I saw here. I'm trying to understand the CODEC info but I fear I have a ways to go before I can figure out what I did wrong. (This is my test computer, the future work would be done on a newer, better computer). The videos I would be working with come from various sources and will vary in length but will probably all be a kind of avi.
Intel Pentium processor 1600 mhz
221 mhz, 2.00 gb ram
Microsoft windows xp sp3
video:
length: 0:27.261
frms: 817
Kbps: 28770
pic: 720x480
codec: dvsd dvc/dy
I appreciate any help you can give

Thanks for you response and the information was very helpful. I was able to choose and output that gave me a good file size and I do want DV-AVI (I don't remember what I chose but it worked) but, I don't see an option for DV-AVI - is that a general DV output selection, because there seem to be numerous (AVCHD, NTSC, DV STANDARD) acronyms (I have tried to understand what each is) which do I want?

For the use of Track Matte Keying, with say a Gaussian Blur, or maybe Moasic Effect, if you have not altered the In & Out Points, then just dragging the Asset to both Video 1 and Video 2 will work fine. If you HAVE adjusted the In & Out Points, you can just click-drag from the Source Monitor, where you set those In & Out Points, and all is good. The Copy/Paste is just another way to do it.
As you are doing an "overlay," the output File Size will not be affected in any way. You are also limiting the Blur, or Effect on Video 2 to just the area "exposed" by the Track Matte, so the pixel count will not be altered.
As Steve points out, the output CODEC in the AVI will determine the output File Size. File Size is basically determined by the Timeline's Duration and by the Bit-Rate of the output file. With DV-AVI, that Bit-Rate is pretty well set, and your Timeline determines the Duration. At ~ 13GB/hour, a DV-AVI will be pretty large, but that is the nature of the beast. Also, and as Steve points out, if you are going to do additional editing, and will be Importing that file into a New Project, DV-AVI is about as good, as it gets.
Good luck,
Hunt

Installing codecs for mpeg-3 on Oracle Linux 6.4

Hi,
I am trying to install the required codecs for mpeg-3 on my Oracle 6.4 Linux box, with no success. I found the discussion from August 2011 Re: How to install media codecs in OL6 U1 on how to do this and have followed the instructions, (I had to substitute the fedora rpm for a more up to date one as the original is no longer available at that url). However, after doing this I am still unable to install mpg321. Do these instructions just need updating or is there something more fundamental wrong with my system?
Best Regards and thanks in advance for any help

Are you trying to play back video or only audio. Anyway, perhaps your best option is VLC VideoLan. It is also available from Repo(rpm)forge.
So perhaps just try the following:
yum install vlc
It will install quite a bunch of libraries, inluding ffmpeg and lame, etc. from the OL6 and RPMforge repository.

Best Codec for WMV?

Wich is the Best Quality Codec for .Wmv? (1080p or 2k) I need to know (only for that format) for my work.
The videos always loss quality,and there are visible pixels.
Please if anyone knows, please tell me, and also how to get the codec if it doesnt appear on the software by default (hope it's free).
Thanks in advance, i'll be waiting for any reply

You're gonna laugh.. but years ago I bought the first " videoblaster " card and actually 'captured' video with it from cable tv....( at 15 fps , dropping every other frame basically )... and had a lot of fun with it.. and that was when AVI was introduced...
=======
Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology

So , anyway, just cause it's " microsoft " doesn't necessarily mean it's junk...

Need advice on codecs for posting video on the web

I am attempting to post a 2 minute trailer (from FCP 4) to the web. I would like to post one version in Quicktime and One in Windows Media Player
I have been experimenting with varios codecs and have found that sorenson 3 works well for quick time but have found nothing that works well for AVI (media player)
Can someone suggest export settings (i.e. formats, codecs, etc.) to export the clip for web display.
I am new to this so I may be overlooking some pretty standard settings that are geared for web display in Quicktime and Media Player --so if there is some standard default settings I should be using, please suggest those.
THanks.
JIm Leo

Yes, I did mean 20 megs not 20 gigs and I understand that at 20 megs that still might be on the high side. I guess 10 - 12 megs would be nice.
In any event, I will look for the wmv file but don't know that i have flip4mac - never even heard of it before. (does it come standard with FCP?)
My computer is now goes through 79% of a download and then stops everytime. It seems I fix one problem and create 2 more. Yikes. Perhaps I will put up a separate post for that problem.
