AVI defies codec - yet won't play for QuickTime

Hi,
I've just got a bunch of avi files, and am trying to get them playing in QuickTime. I get the white screen, so download every codec under the sun to try and get it working (I know being on Tiger means I haven't really got a good start).
The thing is the production company says it was made without a codec - is this possible? The movie info includes:
YUY2, 320 x 240, Thousands
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
I've downloaded:
DIV X 6 Decoder + Encoder
3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OS X
Flip 4 Mac WMV Import + Export
MSmpeg4v1.component
MSmpeg4v2.component
The file does play in VLC, but I can't edit from that. I've tried changing .avi to .mpeg, .mov etc, but QuickTime doesn't like it.
Is YUY2 the problem? Many thanks,

-- The YV12 codec needs the file ~/Library/Frameworks/YV12ImageDecompressorGlue.framework or /Library/Frameworks/YV12ImageDecompressorGlue.framework - which the installer installs.
-- This will not enable playback of avi files with yv12 dx50 video encoding (FFusion will.)

-- FFusion generates a lot of messages in the console.log but on the other hand, in testing it played back more video encoding types than either DivX 6 or 3ivx D4 4.5.1 (and totally eliminated the need for ms-mpeg4v1 and ms-mpeg4v2 components to be installed.)

  • Divx won't play on Quicktime...

    Divx won't play on Quicktime. Before switching to Lion, I was able to play divx files using quicktime. Can't do it now. Files work using VLC or DIVX player, but I need Quicktime because it has "TRIM" feature! Please help!

    i have the same issue but .AVI wont play neither. The DivX player will play divX files for me but has a jumpy frame rate now. Was all fine untill installing Lion.

  • Mov files won't play in Quicktime?

    Hi,
    I have to cut some footage with Final Cut Pro. I used an G5 for that which worked fine. But I have to change to a MacBook Pro with Intel Core2 Duo now, because the G5 is to slow.
    Sadly, the footage I have won't play with Quicktime and - of course - neither with Final Cut Pro on the Intel Mac. I just have the sound, but no video. Seems like a codec is missing. but when I download the codec it won't install because it seems to be already installed...
    I don't know how the footage was captured, I assume with FCP though... Info says: "Apple Intermediate Codec".
    I updated everything except "Compressor" because the update fails.
    I use MacOS 10.6.2 with my old FinalCut Pro HD 4.5 (Rosetta). I have Perian installed.
    What can I do?

    This is a quick time Codec problem... I want nothing to do with FinalCut...
    I have a series of videos from my wedding that I want to convert into some other format that can be edited in Premier.
    The videos open in quicktime, but only give me audio and no video. VLC will wont even play them saying
    "No suitable decoder module:
    VLC does not support the audio or video format "icod". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
    Any ways, I opened them up in quicktime and get the properties of the videos
    Video track - 27.58MB - Apple Intermediate Codec
    Sound track - 531.72KB - Integer (Little Endian)
    The file itself is 28MB, so I know the video is still in there somewhere.
    If someone could please tell me how to convert these, I would be greatly appreciated. These are the only videos of my wedding, so I really need them to be saved.
    Please email me if you might have any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • .MOV file won't play in QuickTime Player? QT Components?

    I have a bunch of .MOV clips on my hard drive that I'd like to ultimately import to Final Cut Express (4.0.1) to edit (my wedding video!!). If I double click on the clip, it automatically opens in QuickTime Player (7.6.9), and I then prompted to a QuickTime Components website. I'm not sure why the .MOV clips won't play, since I believe I have the latest version of QT. What should I do?
    Additional information on the .MOVE files: original format is MPEG HD, dimensions: 1280 x 720, Codecs: XDCAM EX 720p30 (35 Mb/s VBR) Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
    Thank you for your help!

    Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:
    http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
    I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it.  Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded? 

  • Video playback problems: ok in VLC, won't play in quicktime/MPEG streamclip

    Hi,
    I have files made in .mov format in Final Cut Pro. When put on my MacBookPro, they lose their file extension. If I add the extension back on again (or not) they play in VLC. Only the audio will play in MPEG stream clip. I have downloaded perian, and the mpeg-2 extra for Quicktime, but Quicktime will still not play these files.
    VLC file format says: audio files are sowt. The video file is mpgv codec.
    The sad thing is I need to use Transana, a video analysis software, which only works with Quicktime.
    I have checked out lots of forums, but nobody seems to have a good answer for this problem, assuming that the Perian or MPEG slipstream or the Quicktime add-on fill fix it.
    I'd be very, very grateful for any advice.
    Thanks very much

    I didn't but I installed it, then rebooted and yet nothing. The output changed though. Here it is.

  • Mov file won't play in quicktime on pc only audio plays

    How do I get my mov file to play in Quicktime? The audio plays but the image doesn't appear -- it is just black or white.  Thanks.  If I need a codec, how do I get it?  I am using a PC not a Mac.

    Use the Movie Inspector window to find out what video codec was used and a search of the Web to find a valid version.

  • After rendering as MOV, file won't play in Quicktime.

    When I render files as MOVs or MP4s, the files will not play in Quicktime or VLC. When opened in Quicktime, a "Converting..." window pops up. After waiting for a long time, an error message shows up.
    Any suggestions?

    Howdy Martin, it's a project to add the illusion of 3D to a 2D static photograph. You import a layered PSD with two layers - one monochromatic mask and the base photo. You add a displacement map to the image, tweak a few settings, add a keyframe to either end, chnage parameters and you're done. Like this After Effects TUTORIALS - How to Make 2d Image to 3D using Displacement Map (After Effects & Photoshop) - YouTube Should be relatively simple and is up to the point when I export and play it back!
    Have rendered with AE directly as as well as AME.
    It's odd as I've kept fiddling today and have managed to create a project that works and plays back then the next one does not, same everything! Arrrgh!

    thanks for taking an interest, I really need to nail this to develop the theory/concept I'm working on.

  • .mov won't play in quicktime after previewing in photoshop bridge cs6, what do I do to fix?

    I have a iMac, OS X 10.8.5, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
    I don't like how iphoto organizes my files so have been organizing my photos and videos from my iphone into folders after exporting them from iphoto.
    These are the steps I believe I took in regards to my "corrupted" .mov file:
    -imported into iphoto
    -exported originals from iphoto
    -re-organized photos and videos using adobe bridge CS6
    -tried to open my .mov from bridge (default is to open in quicktime), I'm getting a small black quicktime box (as compared to a large window where the file will play), but video will not play.
    -video will play inside of bridge preview window but file will not play in quicktime.
    HOW DO I GET MY FILE TO PLAY IN QUICKTIME?
    DID I MISS A HIDDEN FILE WHEN MANUALLY MOVING THE FILES IN BRIDGE?
    I no longer use this process. 
    I am using image capture to import and then organizing from there.
    I don't believe I have an issue with my .mov files anymore.
    This seems like something caused by iphoto. ????

  • After installing divX codec, QT won't play divX .avis

    Environment:
    Windows XP pro
    QT pro 7.1.3
    DivX 6.5
    I hate windows media player, and always play my media in QT if I can. When I tried to play some avis in QT that were encoded with DivX, the QT dialog box came up and directed me to the apple site which had the divx link. It stated there that the codec will work for QT, on both mac and windows. However, after I download and install the codec, the only thing I see in my player is a black screen with no audio. (And I think that before I installed the codec, I at least got the audio.) But now I get nothing.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • AVI Files on QT won't play Audio

    Hi All,
    Sorry for the noobie question but I just got my iMac up and running and have found that some (not all) of my AVI files will not play normally in Quicktime. Two of the AVI files will play the video fine but there is no audio to them. Is something related to a CODEX? Or is that something I only have to worry about in Windows?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Is something related to a CODEX?
    An AVI may contain audio and video of any format, and if the Mac doesn't have the codec to play the audio track, it will have no sound. Try installing Perian.

  • FLV video in PDF won't play for Mac user with Reader 9.4.5.

    I recently created a PDF with an embedded FLV file. I'm using Acrobat X Pro, so embedding the file created a Rich Media Annotation (RMA). From what I've read, anyone using Acrobat or Reader version 9 or later should be able to play the file. However, one of my readers on a Mac can't play the file, and in fact, doesn't even see a preview of it on the page. He just sees a blank spot.
    Can someone shed some light on this?
    Thanks.
    Dave

    There are hundreds of PDF readers. Most of them only view only simple files and fail with interactivity, or PDFs for specialized uses like prepress. As Bob said, the only readers you can be sure of are Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Tell your viewers to download the FREE Adobe Reader to get the best viewing experience, and provide a link to Adobe Reader.

  • AVI file (on SD) won't play

    I'm trying to edit some movies on iMovie. But I can't even play my .AVI files. They have voice, but no video. The video turns to be white, with only voice. Even when I opened them in Quicktime, same problem. What should I do? Thanks in advance

    To The Apple Discussion Boards!
    Install VLC Media Player and/or Perian.
    Repair permissions & restart your computer after the installation(s).
