How do I get avi movies to play on my Mac?

Try installing Perian. No Mac OS X component or combination of components is capable of opening all AVIs.

    Works just fine for me (Safari 3.1 and 10.5.2).
    If you're using Safari you may need to use the keyboard shortcut Command-R to "refresh" the download.

    How do I get a movie to play right away on my iPad while it's downloading

    I have this same problem.  On the photo tab I used to have it checked for everything to sync.  But it gets stuck on syncing the photos and doesnt complete.  The events on my Mac stopped syncing to other devices as soon as I got a new ipad air.  The events that were on iphoto at that time are the last to show on all other devices.  When I am in photo tab i cant even select the events that havent synced because they are showing as a choice.  But they are an event in iphoto on the Mac.  Frustrated.

  • How do i get avi's to play in quick look and the preview bar?

    I have a MBP and i was wondering if i can get finder/Quicklook to play AVI's im pretty sure my old MB did it find but my MBP wont?
    Any ideas?
    cheers,
    Sam

    Hello again
    To the best of my knowledge, here is how it works. If you
    have selected a preloader (meaning a SWF file and NOT a "Loading
    screen" - there are two types) You will notice a progress indicator
    of sorts. Normally you see it count up to 60% and the project
    begins to play. What this is designed to accomplish is that the end
    user would never encounter a wait for things to buffer, play a
    little, wait, play a little, and so on.
    So with a preloader, 60% of the project is received from the
    server before the playhead is released and begins to play. The
    thought behind this is that with a linear movie that plays from
    start to finish, by the time the playhead would ever reach the end
    of that 60% part, the remaining 40% will have downloaded and the
    user will never encounter a pause.
    As I understand it, the loading screen (static image) is used
    when you insert a Captivate in a PDF. It serves as an indication
    something is present and must be clicked to play it. I'm sure there
    are other uses as well.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do you get a movie to play without a menu

    I've installed ilife 09 and it now says I'm using version 7.0.4 of IDVD. I've used version 6 for years, so much is new. However, I already created a fairly complex DVD in this version with my own background menu, buttoms, chapters, etc. That was in regular 4x3 format. It seemed pretty self-explanatory. I'm now trying to make a DVD that is 16x9 from a final cut pro file. I don't want any menu, just want the movie to play when it is inserted. I drag my movie to the "drag content here to play automatically" spot and I still get a menu. This should be pretty simple...right? What am I doing wrong?

    Don't you see 'Old Themes' as a theme choice?
    I prepared the procedure back in iDVD 6 days and I just noticed that how you do some of those things have changed in the latest version. With iDVD 7.x you now need to bring up the Menu Info window (the 'i' button at the bottom left). You need to also deselect the 'Show drop zones and associated graphics' box in that window.
    Note that you don't have to put any text in the DVD name or movie name fields.
    I'll try to update my procedure in the next couple of days.
    The easiest thing to do is simply have your autostart movie loop.

  • How do I get my movies to play while loading like the QT  trailers do?

    I have tried several different things in iMovie and iWeb, and I can not find anything on it. When I put a movie on my site, the viewer sees a Q for Quicktime, until the movie is fully loaded. How can I make it so it plays while loading, the way the Quicktime Trailers do. they way they don't have to wait so long to see it.
    -Z

    Check out iSquint...
    http://www.isquint.org
    Drop your QT movies into iSquint and let it reencode your movies to whatever quality you like. It will add the faststart feature to your movies. The .mp4 files produced by iSquint are ready to drop into iWeb and will allow your movies to start playing before the download finishes.

  • How do I get iPhoto movies to play?

    How can I make movies in Snow Leopard play they way they did in Leopard?  (I have Flip4Mac and Perian.)  And I know I can drag movies into the dock and into Quicktime to get them to play.  But, I'd like to go back to the good ol' days before Snow Leopard when I could play movies in iPhoto with dragging them around

    Terence,
    I installed QT7 and dragged it into the Dock after dragging QT10 out of the Dock.  Movies in iPhoto work they way I want.  Thank you.

  • How do you get a movie to play that you bought on itunes?

    specifically I bought this movie a while ago but the only thing im getting is a black screen when i attmept to load it. help me please! its full screen but nothing is playing; it was purchased.

    Do you have an Apple TV or Airport Express?  Some people have had similar issues due to Airplay.
    Suggestion from another user (ChargedNeuron):
    "To resolve the glitch we had iTunes select an external speaker, in this case my AppleTV. Next, I played a purchased video. and the picture restored. The tech and I figured that somehow the computer was attempting to send the video somewhere else via Airplay, much like an iPad would, and to restore the video we needed to reset the destination of the video. "

  • How can I get my movie to play that I downloaded from my ipad to my pc? It will play the bonus features, scene selection etc but not the movie

    I bought some movies from iTunes to put on my ipad. I stored them in icloud and downloaded them to my pc. problem is that although the bonus features etc will play on the pc, the actual movie won't! What should I do??

    What happens when you try to play the actual film ? And have you tried deleting them and (assuming that they're still in the store) redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - or going into Edit > Preferences and on the Store tab ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box so that they show in the My Movies part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading) ?
    (You can't store films in the cloud, whether they will show there for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in - and if you move countries or if the rights-holder removes them then you also won't be able to redownload them. Ideally you'd be taking a backup copy of all of your downloads, and not relying on being able to redownload them in the future.)

  • How do I get QuickTime .mov files transferred from my Mac onto my PC to play?

    I recently transferred a bunch of QuickTime videos from my Mac to my PC using an external hard drive. When I tried to open to files on my PC, the files were recognized as QuickTime files but they would not play. It said the files were of a type that quicktime does not understand. Do I need some sort of Mac to PC file converter?

    Maybe this article will help.

    The first step is to download and install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application on your computer. The CC Desktop application then manages the rest of the installation process.
    You can download the installer for Creative Cloud from here :
    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    After you install the Creative Cloud desktop application , you will need to sign in with an Adobe ID and Password.
    This link will walk you through  the steps:

  • How do I get my iPad to play Netflix on my tv

    I have a Netflix account and have successfully downloaded movies to the ipad2. How do I get the movie to play on my Tv?

    The Netflix app doesn't download movies at all. It streams them. I believe you can view Netflix on your television by using the HDMI connector and an HDMI cable.

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?
