Everything looks good except videos (AVI files)

Hi,
Everything looks great on my macbook pro except videos which look horrible. The worst is videos I take with FlipMino or Kodak Zi8. They look fantastic on my destkop PC, but on my macbook pro, they look abismal.
The colors are ugly, the video is grainy, the greens have terrible color noise. It looks worst in Quicktime (with Perian and/or Divx installed) than in VLC, but VLC looks bad too.
Flash videos on the web are much better. Not as good as my desktop LCD (HP f2105 monitor).
Any ideas? Pictures look AWESOME...
Also, in bootcamp, win7 installed, all colors are somewhat off.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Well i cant tell you exactly why the AVI movies are like that for you, but i would suggest that if every other Movie format looks good, i would suggest converting it to a different format. If you have QT Pro you can do that easily as well as iMovie.

  • I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  does anyone know what to do?

    I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page.  Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?".  Does anyone know what to do?

    Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
    Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them.  Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.

  • Small Flip video AVI files - can preview in Organizer but not Elements

    Hi all,
    I just spent $110 to buy Adobe Premiere Elements 9.  I installed it to my Dell Vostro 1520 Intel Dual Core 2.2 GHz, running Windows 7 Pro.
    I have a few small (5-10 seconds each) Flip video .AVI files (standard definition) to use for learning.
    To learn, I brought the little .AVI files into Adobe Organizer, and can now double-click on each thumbnail and see the video play clearly, no problem, in the Organizer preview window.  All well and good!
    Next I created a new Project in Premier Elements, and used the Add Media button to reference the same little .AVI files.  But when I attempt to preview them in Premier Elements by double-clicking on a thumbnail, I instead see a green/teal-colored rectangle where the video should show in the preview window, although I can hear the audio fine.
    Can anybody help me?  Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Meomoto

    Steve --
    I have Windows Live Movie Maker.  It offers many of the same features as Adobe Premiere Elements 9, but not all of them.  For example Premiere Elements 9 offers Picture-in-Picture, nicer titling features, etc., etc.  That's why I've just shelled out $110 to buy Premiere Elements 9 (whereas Windows Live Movie Maker is totally free if you have Windows 7 Pro).
    Windows Live Movie Maker is a PC-based video editing program, and it does not require and does not use use Apple Quicktime.
    So I don't understand why you say Quicktime is a necessity.
    But I do appreciate your reply and your thoughts.
    I'm still looking for someone who has successfully used Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to edit Flip Ultra (standard definition) .AVI files.
    Thanks.

  • TS3048 I am usng a bluetooth keyboard with my Mac and some of the keys are not working.  They are the numbers 1 through  9.  I have gone through the troubleshooting for mouse and keyboard and everything looks good. How can I get them to work again?

    Hi,  I am using a Mac computer that my husband set up.  I have worked on it recently with no problems.  Today, I am having problems with the bluetooth keyboard not  working properly.  The numbers 1 through 9 do not work.  I have gone through troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues and everything looks good.  Except, when I check the keys on the keyboard viewer, these keys still do not work.  The webpage guides me through and at this point I do not know what to do next, because the keyboard is still not working properly.  I sure hope there are some experienced people in the community to help me.  What should I do?

    Hi:
    I wish my suggestion had gotten you further.
    I do suggest you try to connect the keyboard again.  The request for a number is a step in it trying to pair.  If it gets by the number, it sometimes takes a little while to get connected.  If you are unable to get it connected and want a new one, I have been using Apple Bluetooth keyboards for years - and I like them. The one I have (the newest model) only uses two batteries and is very thin. 
    Speaking of batteries, if you are not already doing so, you might consider rechargeables.  I have a drawer full of them and use a 15 minute charger.  I go tired of buying batteries and rechargeables are environmentally friendly to boot. At the moment, I use 2450 mAh Energizers and a 15 minute Energizer charger (all purchased new on eBay at a very reasonable price).
    I am far from an iPad "expert," although I have one.  If my suggestion below does not help, post your question in a separate thread in the iPad forum.
    I had a terrible time syncing my iCal on my Mac with my iPad iCal (confusing - hopefully it makes sense).  I quit using iCloud as that added to the confusion. There is a facility to one-time sync items.  When you connect your computer to your iPad, iTunes opens.  The system begins a process (automatic backup and so on). After it finishes, you can click on "info."  At the bottom of the screen, there is an advanced section.  You can select any of the items and then force it to sync. The iCal information from your computer would be deposited on the iPad. 
    After all that, I do not use a Google calendar so the information may be worthless to you.
    If you want to reset the iPad to factory settings, you can do that when it is connected to iTunes (one of the options).  Me being me, I try never to erase anything.

  • Flip video avi files . . . now what?

    Just rec'd 10 or so avi files made with one of those cute flip vid cams. Now what?
    I'd like to edit them in imovie hd 6x but of course I'll need to convert them first. Right now I only have white screen and audio. Do not have QT Pro, but installed Perian. Still same look --white screen and audio. What other components do I need to get going?
    Thx for help.

    My bad . . . I forgot about mpegStreamclip. Opened avi file and converted to dv. All is well, maybe.
    Interesting how original avi file at 12 mg exploded to 82 mg as dv. I used default conversion settings in streamclip. Is that correct? Is there a better conversion format/container I should use for editing in imovie 6 (or FCE)?
    Thx.

  • Flip Video-AVI files HELP

    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.

  • Hard Drive upgarde 40G to 160G looked good, except can't install new system

    I mistakenly posted on the G3 forum. Here is my last post in that thread, and a summary of my problem (note that this computer came with OS 10.4.2 and that is what I am trying to install). We have a mac book pro and its install CDs, and a macbook 10.5.1 and its CDs. We also have old system 9, 8.5, and 7 CDs.
    Sorry about the confusion.
    No, the new internal 160GB hard drive is not partitioned (or rather it has only one partition).
    I now think it was a mistake, but I was trying to restore the install disks to the hard drive.
    I now think my only real problem is the computer will not boot well from the CD/DVD drive. If it would, then I could install the OS onto the hard drive.
    This is confusing to me as here are is the sequence of events:
    1. Computer works fine, but HD is too full.
    2. Purchased Seagate 160GB 2.5 ST9160821A-RK
    3. Purchased external enclosure USB 2.5 inch enclosure.
    4. Son used a web site to replace the 40G with the new 160G.
    5. Son put the old 40G in the USB enclosure.... then he left.
    6 I turned computer on, then realized there was no OS on it. We could not find the install disks, so we tried to see how things were working by starting up on other disks such as Norton Utilities, OS9, etc. Disk Warrior was the only thing we could get it to start up on. It reported the drive, but no directory information. Later I figured out that is because it was not properly formatted.
    7. The only other CD/DVD we could get to boot is the AppleCare Protection Plan TechTool Deluxe CD. It boots, but does not boot so well.
    8. Then I tried doing a bunch of other stuff with the Target Firewire.
    However, I think the real issue is that I can't get it to boot CD/DVDs, and I especially wish I could get it to to boot the install disk. I mean, even if I get the system working on the 160 HD, I still need the CD/DVD drive to work.
    Can you help with that?

    We went ahead and opened it back up, and put the original hard drive back in, so everything was as it was. Yes, the computer recognized the install disk, but when it came time for it to restart on that disk, it wouldn't. So, all the symptoms were the same as before (except that now we had a bootable system inside of the case. Our conclusion: something is wrong with the disk that keeps it from fully functioning.
    So, daughter makes appointment with the Genius bar, goes, and they confirm it won't work in her machine, or one of theirs. They don't have any to give her, so she is told to call AppleCare. I am shocked this required paid up maintenance, but it does. Anyway, after over an hour on the phone, she is told the order is entered into the system, but she might need a follow up to get it sent. That was on December 21st. I am guessing with the Christmas holiday, that she should try again on the 26th. Once we confirm the new disks work, we will swap the hard drives again.
