No sound on AVI files with QT 7.5

Hi,
I have a bunch of avi files and only a few of them have sound. They all worked fine before I downloaded the newest version of quicktime. Any suggestions? I was the pacifist option but I am not sure I know how to remove/install the downgraded version
Thanks for the help!

I've got the same problem. None of my AVI files now play sound after applying all software updates (also pushing me up to QuickTime 7.5).
I only found this out after burning some to a DVD and discovering there was no sound on the disc.
The AVI files play perfectly in VLC 0.8.6h. Do I assume something has got screwed up with QuickTime?

No sound for AVI files with Quicktime

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to fix this problem.
I upgraded to Quicktime 7.5 and quickly found that I cannot get audio/sound out of my AVI files (most are short clips taken with my Casio Exlim Digital Camera). I tried installing Perian, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling QT, and that didn't work. I tried repairing disk permissions and that didn't work. Finally, I thought perhaps I had a bad AppleIntermediateCodec file. I downloaded version 1.0.1 from Apple, but it won't let me load it - acts like its an update to an existing file, but the file is not on my system. Here is the contents of my Library/Componets folder:

I am the admin on the system, but I have two other accounts for my sons. Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what I should do next? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.
Now, my Library/Components folder is empty. My Library/QuickTime folder has the following:

Import DV AVI Files with 5.1 Audio

To my surprise, Encore would not import DV AVI files from Premiere with 5.1 Audio. I much prefer to do my transcoding in Encore rather than in Premiere so I don't have to guess how much disk space will remain after menus and other content. Also, I think Encore transcoding is more efficient than Premiere.
Yet, cheaper and less sophisticated applications such as Nerovision will import DV AVI files with 5.1 audio, and give you 5.1 DVD's.
Which leads to another question, why does a cheaper application just give you the Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, while a fee has to be paid to Surcode to get it in the Adobe applications?

You cannot create a 5.1 Dolby Digital file in Encore, so the answer is an emphatic "YES" to the planning & budgeting.
You really should be doing this anyway, as it is a real eye opener. There are some superb Excel spreadsheet bit budgeting tools, as well as a simple enough manual method. It should be detailed in the FAQ.
As far as DTS goes, you'll need an encoder again. The only plugin version I am aware of is for Steinberg's Nuendo & Cubase systems, but both DTS and SurCode make them.
The SurCode DTS-DVD encoder is dated now - 5 years or so - and the Nuendo one sounds better. Having said that, the DTS-PSE sounds even better, as well as having DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 capability (both of which are DVD Legal).
Even better are the soon-to-be-released DTS-HD SAS & MAS encoders.
These are primarily for the Blue-ish type discs, but also cater for so-called "legacy" encoding as well, and the detail is even better than the DTS-PSE version. You can hear the difference in the detail where the top end sounds more natural & open. Whatever version you get will make Dobly Dirgital sound dull & muddy by comparison.
Quality can be improved by feeding the encoder with 24 bit audio too - this also applies to Dolby Digital.
Bitrates for DTS are either 754 kb/sec or 1509 kb/sec, and come in 2 flavours:
Compact (.cpt) and Padded (.dts) - either can use the lower bitrate, and there is no difference in audio quality between the CPT and DTS flavours. I recommend using the higher bitrate personally.
Both types are supported in Passthrough mode in Encore - that is to say they import, and multiplex correctly but cannot be previewed.
Hope this helps.

5.1 surround audio into Final Cut Studio out to AVI file with 5.1 surround?

Someone wants to give me a 5.1 surround sound audio file for importing into my Final Cut Studio project, then I export my video (now with 5.1 surround) out to an AVI file with the 5.1 surround sound intact. How do I do this?
thanks

I also have this problem...
Purchased an HD TV show (Nip/Tuck) and selected the alternate audio track labeled "Surround Audio" and got that digital audio "NOISE".
Regular audio sounds fine - can play iTunes music and system sounds sound good, just can't select the alternate "Surround" audio track without getting the noise.
I'm on an "older" MacMini - Intel CoreDuo using the SPDIF optical output into a Pioneer 5.1 receiver set to the appropriate Optical input and "Dolby Digital". I attempted to change the audio input processing on the receiver...all of which have the noise described by others...
Would LOVE a solution to this problem...

I can't run .avi files with OS 10.8

Why I don't see .avi files with OS 10.8? Usually I could run .avi files in my iMAC o Mac Book Pro but after I turned to OS 10.7 or 10.8 it was not possible anymore. Some older avi files use to run in Power Point presentations but not the new ones. Anytime that I try appear a sign that refer to there is no valid codec to run the clip.
Thank you.

can anyone help? am running osx 10.9 on macbook
QT X v10.3 only plays JPEG/PCM AVI files natively. Either use QT 7 player (with system configured for appropriate codecs), use a third-party player like VLC (with its own built-in codec support), or convert the files to compression formats like H.264/AAC, MPEG4/AAC, or ProRes/LPCM which are natively supported by the QT X v10.3 player.

Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

See QuickTimeKirk's response in this thread. You can also try VLC Media Player.
Whichever one you try, just make sure you repair permissions & restart afterwards.

How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

Export to DV needed to keep sound for AVI files burned with iDVD

I have recently found out that in order to have sound throughout the DVDs that I burn, I must first convert AVI files to DV. This however distorts wide screen video files, thus I am wondering one of two things; the first being if I can convert the files to another type that will not distort the picture and two if there is a way to convert AVI files to DV without changing the picture at all.

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.

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.

Problem viewing AVI files with quicktime plugin

I have quicktime 7.6 and perian installed
When I try to stream an AVI file I can hear sound but no video is displayed
If I download the file and I then play it with quicktime everything is fine
If I remove perian then I will be able to stream from the website but of course unable to play MKV, Divx and Xvid files
I have removed all obsolete codecs and I am running out of ideas on what is wrong with the system

In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from

I can't use some .avi files with CS4

I have 2 computers. One with W7 64 bits and PP CS5 and a laptop with Vista 32bits, so I had to install PP CS4 provided with Adobe CS5-5 production premium.
I have a problem with CS4 (as it works with my CS5): some.avi files are not read by CS4 as some other (.avi, .mp4, .m2ts) are read! I can install the file on the timeline, but only the sound is read, no pictures!
I'm not a specialist in computer, neither in Premire Pro, and my english is very bad (Yes, I know, I'm french...) ! Any idea of what to do, please ?
Thank you so much.

I agree with Jim. Knowing what is inside those AVI files, that are faulting, will likely tell the tale.
This article goes into a lot more detail on AVI (and MOV, etc.) as a "wrapper:" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
It is what's inside, that matters. It might be as simple as just installing the proper CODEC, or it might be that the CODEC used, is a delivery-only CODEC, like DivX, Xvid, and some others.
Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.
