AC3 Codec - for QT and Toast

Hola,
My Toast DVD's made from avi's have no sound. Avi files played in QT have no sound. I assume it's related?
Do I need the AC3 codec? Where do I get it, where do I put it?
Gracias.

Also MPEG Streamclip can play AC3 and PCM audio in MPEG videos.
I always use MPEG Streamclip for MPEG playback because QT Player can't play AC3 and PCM audio codecs, it distorts PAL interlacing (due to its automatic 720x540 scaling -- 788x576 or 1050x576 would be better alternatives for square pixel 4:3 or 16:9 playback), and it displays the incorrect resolution for MPEG files.

  • I need an ac3 codec for quicktime

    cant get a video to play with sound and i need an ac3 codec i get it to download but then i can't unzip it what should i do

    I found mine here via a digg story about divx
    http://web.mac.com/kaicherry/iWeb/TheCabaal/Dark%20Ten/8F6C946F-54D4-45D7-8BDD-0 D3B2D8B385C.html
    It's worked fine for me, except in Front Row.
    It crashes Front Row when you move over a movie that uses the ac3 codec.

  • Quicktime codecs for divx and other vids

    Hi guys,
    I have a large collection of videos on my pc and after switching to apple yesterday I realized that I couldn t see most of the vids.
    I realise that there seems to be a problem with quicktime 7 ( i have the latest 7.0.3) but is there a codec pack somewhere?
    I remember the nimo pack for pc so is there a similar thing for mac?
    Thanks a lot!

    Clement,
    The Beta DivX CODEC for Mac Tiger and QT7 can be found in the DivX Labs website at http://labs.divx.com/?src=footerdivxlabs_from/divx/mac/index.php
    I haven't had much luck with it.
    If you just want to play the files on your Mac, try the free VLC media player at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  • How to install CineForm AVI Codec for CS6 and CC2014

    I have installed Premirere Pro CS6 as well as CC 2014 and GoPro Studio [Free] / [all latest download on 2 Apr 2015] .
    Operating System Windows 8 Pro - 64bit
    i have failed to see and use Cine Form AVI option for export for intermediate conversion. What i can do is under Format - Quick Time / CineForm RGB 12 Bit and YUV 10 bit only. nowhere i can find the CineForm AVI option.
    any assistant will be appreciated a lot.

    Dear Todd_Kopriva
    thanks for reply, i have already sorted out the matter by reinstalling the product under Adobe Directory. [before it was installed in Adobe CS6 / Adobe CC directory].
    i need to export files to AVI format and not Movie [Quick Time] format. that is the reason i need AVI codec.
    Thanks again

  • Trying to play a movie on my mac and says it needs an AC3 Codec

    Hi can someone help me. I am trying to play a movie on my macbook pro off my portable  hard drive. It keeps telling me I need an AC3 codec for the audio. Can anyone tell me where to get this from a trusted source.
    Thanks

    Try adding Perian.  It's useful for allowing QuickTime to handle a wide variety of formats audio/video formats.
    There is also Vlc which is a general video player for a wide variety of formats.  But these days I am hesitant to recommend it since it was "updated" to 2.0 from 1.1.12.  1.1.12 was great and I still use it.  2.0 is not quite ready for prime time (unstable and buggy).

  • Other ac3 codec than the 0.4 plug-in

    hey guys
    its been a pain in the azz that since apple release the new update for qt (.0.2 & .0.3) the commonly known ac3 codec for qt 0.4 doesn't work no more under qt.
    so i am just wonderin that if there's another ac3 codec out there that will work with the new qt update??

    In other threads, users have described the following steps to get the ICA plugin working:
    (1) Upgrade the plugin to version 12.3
    This page was referenced in another thread and I have not tested the download personally: [http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX133066 CTX133066 - 12.3 Online Plug-In - Issues Fixed in This Release - Citrix Knowledge Center].
    (2) If it doesn't work, switch the application preference as follows:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    Search for or scroll down to where Citrix ICA Client appears in the left column. In the right column, change the application designated to handle this type of content from: "use Citrix ICA Client (in Firefox)" to "Use Citrix (default)".
    See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963683#answer-462040
    Users in other threads have said that Receiver works, but is very slow to launch.

  • Problems with mpeg2 codec for quicktime

    I just downloaded the mpeg2 codec for quicktime and installed it. My computer doesn't recongnize it and I still can't play mpeg2 clips. When I check the video codecs installed on my computer, the mpeg2 codec doesn't appear in the list even if I did install it. I'm using windows XP. What can I do?

    The QuickTime MPEG2 Component comes with an installer. Did the installer run? Did it show any errors?
    It is working for me in QuickTime on Windows XP.
    Note: Even with this component there are some limitations. It cannot play AC3 sound tracks. It should however be able to play MPEG2 video from .m2v or .vob or .mpg files.

  • AC3/A52 audio codec for Premiere

    Good day, everyone. I'm alive again.
    I have a video with a A52/AC3 audio on it and apparently the premiere installed in my PC cannot decode it so I have to extract the audio with another software. Ain't there some other way (needless to say, premiere A52/AC3 codec) that I can import my video to my pr pro project in which pr can read its audio data?
    I'm using prprocs3.

    Thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated.
    I don't have Audition with the laptop I'm on (don't think they included that with Cs5 bundle)...
    but I'm trying Media Encoder instead as I write.....so thanks for the tip.
    (I need to get this done within the next hour or so! Have already been working on it for about 2 hours)
    I also tried Virtual Dub...I used the standard "Save AVI" feature...it produced another AVI file..that again plays fine in various media players...but when I import it into Premiere Pro...only the video comes in...and no audio track at all...
    Various posts refer to using Virtual Dub to convert to DV AVI...but unfortunately I cannot find any explanation of how exactly to do this...there is no "Save or export to  DV AVI" option I can find in Virtual Dub....(I've tried downloading a VFW Panasonic Codec...which apparently is of some help with this)
    Other option might be After Effects I guess...or maybe a free video editor off the net?
    Open to anything at this point!
    Thanks!

    The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle.  You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
    Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place.  Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
    Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

  • CS3 How to choose a Codec/extension wrapper and Preset for a project

    Goal 
    To create fanvideos from commercial DVDs for personal fair use.
    Potential to use to promote a series in a social media campaign with permission of owner.
    Tools on Hand
    Three seasons worth of the series ripped from commercial DVD --> .VOB format in TS Folders on my 2008 10.5.8 Mac using MacTheRipper
    FFMpegx CODEC pack.
    CS3 Premierie Pro with Mac updates that were posted on the Adobe site.
    So far I've been able to
    I managed to use ffmpegx to convert my .vobs into .mp4s, which I then renamed as .movs to get Premiere to recognize it.  I managed to sync my audio with the mp4 encoder (may have been a H264 but not sure by changinge the frame-rate from ntsc film to ntsc. 
    Problems I've encountered
    I had admittedly been experimenting with different codecs and .exts, trying to find optimum quality:size:premiere/iDVD compability, so I had a variety of source footage in my project.  For some, I had to readjust the pixel aspect ratio.  But when i rendered/exported the final product...everything was squished and incorrect.  I had sound syncing issues for some of my trials, too.  Before I was trying to make things compatable with iDVD.  I no longer care about this and have no intention of burning anything with this project. 
    I saw things on the internet about using Encore's library of codecs, but couldn't find anything .dll on my computer.  I also have no idea how to use any of hte CS3 support software (bridge, extension manager, after affects)
    Current steps I'd like to take
    I'm starting over and converting my .vob files into something Adobe will recognize (a simple file name change didn't work in this instance).  I've read the different file types that Adobe PPro recognizes, but it's come to my attention that it prefers some file types to others.  Which extension wrappers are the least likely to cause headaches when trying to edit in Pro?
    Out of those possible codecs and extension wrappers that are compatible, which are the best for fitting a lot of quality into a small filesize?  I heard good things about H264, but I don't know if the patch I dl'd will be enough to make it Adobe PrePro compatible (and I know there are a few different kinds of h264.  the only one i had any success with at all put it an mp4 mpeg container, but didn't end up being anything of a filesize savings compared to the other h264, which ended up being useless).  I have about 60 .vobs that are 2 GB big, and don't have an external hard drive yet, so this is a consideration.
    How do I choose a preset for my new project?  These DVDs were released over the course of 3 years, and they don't all have the same specs in their native format (when I grab the info from DVD player, it's different).  Will I have better luck using different seasons if I convert them from .vobs to identical target file types?  I guess the better question is, when using 3 different types of files that are wrapped into .vobs, am I better off customizing the target file to match the file information DVD Player gives me for each different season....or trying to find specs that serve all three seasons best and have more uniform files imported into Premiere?  Eitherway, how do I know how to pick a Preset?  I try keeping a 16:9 or 16:9 DVD in my target files, but does that make it a widescreen project to start?  Once I start the project, is it too late to change these settings?
    Thank you for helping a newbie.  I tried looking around for answers to each problem as I came across them, but eventually I got overwhelmed and threw my hands up, deleting everything.  I'm ready to ask for help and have a little patience.
    *It's important for me to use free or very affordable 3rd party software, as I am currently unemployed. 

    You MAY want to think about a product that will read the output from your DVD player and convert to DV AVI
    Matt with Grass Valley Canopus in their tech support department stated that the model
    110 will suffice for most hobbyist. If a person has a lot of tapes that were played
    often the tape stretches and the magnetic coding diminishes. If your goal is to encode
    tapes in good shape buy the 110, if you will be encoding old tapes of poor quality buy
    the model 300
    Both the 110 and 300 are two way devices so you may output back to tape... if you don't
    need that, look at the model 55
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 One Way Only to Computer
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110 for good tapes, or
    http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc300 better with OLD tapes

  • HT5848 What is the sampling rate and codec for iTunes Radio. Is it lossless encoded?

    What is the sample rate and codec for iTunes Radio? Is it lossless encoded?

    I have to agree with you.  There are several forum discussions on bit rate being as high as 256 kbps but I don't see how it could be more than 96 kbps based on the poor sound quality I'm hearing.  I'm comparing it to an internet radio station that is 128 kbps and sounds much better.
    Am I missing something?

  • Codec for QT play on Mac AND PC-- + IMovie edit? (DVD rip using MPEG STRCLP

    Based on the helpful advice of this forum, I am ripping a bunch of DVD's of home movies into a large number of discrete .mov files that I can (1) import into IMOVIE for editing and (2) view directly and effortlessly using QT on both a Mac AND a PC (I want to send these files to others). Maintaining image quality is very important given the less than perfect MPEG 2 source material.
    I am following the suggested process using MPEG STREAMCLIP, including trimming and light cutting of unwanted sections before creation of each file.
    *My question is what is the best export process and settings for my situation?*. Given the less than ideal quality of the MPEG-2 source, I would like to avoid further degradation if possible. Choices:
    1. EXPORT to .mov using *AIC codec* -- clearly the best choice for IMOVIE editing and QT playback on a MAC -- but unable to playback using QT on a PC without buying/loading the AIC software. This is a problem since I want the ability to give the .mov files to others and allow them play on a PC without instructions or the hassle of a software download.
    2. EXPORT to .mov with *another Codec -- but which CODEC?* --which codec allows effortless playback with QT/ MAC and PC while retaining original MPEG-2 quality -- and allows for later editing in IMOVIE?
    3. *SAVE AS .mov* -- my understanding is that this copies the original MPEG-2 (after trimming and cuts) and eliminates transcoding. Is this accurate? If so, will it play effortlessly on a MAC and PC? Am I sacrificing anything when importing into IMOVIE (other than the need to transcode from MPEG-2 into AIC)
    Thanks in advance for the help. I continue to be amazed at the complexity of choices for such a simple process.
    Ken

    Martin, I Exported my rip using MPEGstreamclip DV/DVCPRO-NTSC full quality, then exported QT Movie out of FC after editing a bit. Put it back to DVD using DVDSP and used Compressor due to tutorials I watched from Larry Jordon, saying I would get a better quality compression using compressor. I know you are probably scratching your head at this point saying, wait, FCE doesn't come with Compressor or DVDSP. At this time I'll have to admit, I have FCstudio but started out with Express and like the FCE forum better then the FC forum.
    The setting in compressor I used are:
