Avi file at preview state is no sound

after install M Lion, I tape the spacebar to view the avi file and no sound. only avi. mp4 is ok. mkv cant see the video. how can it be fix?

I don't know about Mountain Lion but in the past AVI has not been supported on Macs. To get AVI to work you had to use third party support such as Perian. Perian is no longer being developed and may or may not work under ML.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

AVI files crash Premiere?

Hi
I keep having this problem, with both PE 3 and PE 8.
If I create an AVI file in Smith Micro, Poser with sound on it, it crashes either version of Elements that I have.
It will open files that don't have sound but I need to bring them in together because it is lip synced.
I have to load the files into Windows Movie Maker and then export them as something other then AVI, then they will load in PE 8 with no problems.
The problem with doing this is that the files have to be exported from Windows Movie Maker at a lower resolution then I would like. since as far as I can see the export options in Movie Maker are somewhat limited.
I have tried just converting the files in Any AVI Converter but when I do that it screws up the lip sync. That's another issue that I will address on their forum.
I can only export video from Poser as flash or AVI so I don't have any other options there.
Any suggestions welcome. Perhaps even another way to convert the files to something that PE likes. LOL
Mike

Mike,
Glad that you have found the ideal workflow. Sometimes one does need to think about a problem in a different way.
Have not used Poser in years, and mine is probably decades behind yours, so I do not know what the current possibilities might/might not be. For many operations, I deal exclusively in elemental streams, i.e. one Video-only and one Audio-only file. With those, I can do so very much, such as Import perfectly into Encore to author a DVD with never an error, crash or glitch. In my case, one of the reasons for this is that I do DD 5.1 SS, and that does not mux well, plus for a lot of what I do, I'd just have to de-mux it anyway.
If Poser allows you to Export just the Audio stream, that would save you one step and a couple of Alt-clicks, etc. OTOH, it might not allow that, as it is basically designed for the visuals, with Audio being secondary. Just the opposite of Adobe Audition, which is an Audio editor, that will also display Video, if necessary.
As for my age - you could well be younger... most people are...
Regarding the beard, even when I was about 18 and grew my first one, I had a gray patch on the chin. Over the decades, the red rather faded away, and that patch expanded to where it covered my entire face. I guess that the patch was a bit of a preview of things to come. Once, I looked more like a Viking, but now I look more like the troll under the bridge - the one that scares the kids!
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Captured avi file will start to play then stop

After capturing an avi file and trying to review it for editing in the timeline, the scene will start to play, but then after only 2 or 3 seconds the video stops, and the audio track contiues. This behavior began after I used a registry-cleaning product (PC Health Advisor). The avi file plays normally with video and sound in Windows Media Player. What should I do?

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...

AVI file the film is white and no sound.

I am wondering why a Final Cut Pro file converted to a avi file in MPEG Stream Clip 1.9.1 when opened in QT will not play ilm or audio. It appears as white clip with no sound. Yet if I open the same avi file in DivX player the film and audio plays fine. The only problem is I have not been able to find a way to export the file playing in Dvix player as either Dvix file or .avi file. I read discussions complaining that there is a compatibility issue with QT 7.4.5 and playing avi files(white screen and no sound). I saw a few people mention a open source program that claimed to be the swiss army knife solution. But, discussion about their open source program also had a lot complaints. The whole purpose of the avi files is to play video in a 3-D Studio Max environment.
My options seem to be either trash QT 7.4.5 and download a earlier version of QT. Will this work? And if so what QT version? Or find another codec file source that will convert smoothly from Final Cut Pro to a 3-D Studio Max environment. I visited the components link at Apples website. But, a lot of the programs would not download successfully TO MY I-MAC 3.06. I really hope you have an easy solution because I need to be converting my FCP QT.mov files to a small file size for 3-D Studio Max. I must be able to preview successfully before I upload to my partner who is building with 3-D Studio Max. I hope someone has the right answers and links for me to download a solution that works.

If you "trash" 7.4.5 (which is not the current version, 7.5 is) you will wreck Quicktime for good. You cannot remove QT as it is a component of the operating system.
Go to the quicktime folder and drag all the cruft which I am certain you have other than Apple codecs, Flip4mac and Perian 1.1 (the open source component).
That means all XVid, DivX, 3ivX AC52, drag them all to the desktop and restart.

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

AVI Files in DVD Studio Pro come out with no sound

I tried putting some AVI files through compressor and then into DVD Studio Pro only...no sound. I've been told I should convert the files but I was wondering if there was any other way I could go about making DVDs out of these AVIs that would play on any player. Why is there no sound? How I make sure there is sound? Totally lost in this instance and any help would be appreciated. Thank you all.

My guess is that you may have the sound files, but not spotted them...
When you encode your video with Compressor it splits out the sound form the video, making 'elementary' streams for DVDSP. This is perfectly normal. In compressor, if you apply a standard preset for encoding you get to choose what sort of audio you want. If you didn't set up your audio encode then you may only have the video after all.
If so, go back to compressor and re-encode and make sure you get the audio out - in AC3 format. Bring that into DVDSP and all will be well.

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.

.AVI file has white screen but does have sound...

I have an .AVI file someone sent me which by using QT Pro shows just a white screen but does have audio.
I have Perian installed and it didn't help with the white screen. I have opened it fine in VLC player, and a couple of other media players but my issue is that I want to import the AVI file into iMovie so I can make it into a DVD. However, if I import it into iMovie, it will be the same white screen with audio.
I have searched the web far and wide to find a solution and most are saying it could be only viewable in QT on a PC of all things.
Is there any components out there which will help me with this problem? Any other suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
RB

But when I selected the problematic AVI file it too appeared with a white screen w/sound in MPEG Streamclip. So I realized it wouldn't help me either.
A white screen usually means the selected video codec is not compatible with the actual file. Normally, I would run a conflict test. Based on your previous posts regarding the compression formats in use and the video codec attempting to perform video playback, my first guess would be that the Perian component is trying to decode a DivX (possibly v5) file. I would probably either temporarily remove the Perian component and see if the AVI file plays or remove and then replace the DivX component (if the latest one is already installed) and see if this changes the component access order so DivX is called for video playback. If you have an older DivX component installed, there may be a conflict issue. (Remember to close QT while removing/replacing components so the list will be re-initialized before making a playback test.) If all else fails, try posting a sample file so we can see if the problem can be duplicated on other systems/configurations.

Converted .avi files, no sound in Apple TV

I bought a new Apple TV yesterday, awesome bit of kit btw!
So, I have used Handbrake to convert some old home videos from .avi files to MP4 format. I've set the device (on the presets) to Apple TV 2. The files play fine in iTunes, but when I try to play via Apple TV, they take an age to load and there is no sound. I've even synced them to my iPad, again they play fine there, but when i airplay them, they take ages to appear and again no sound. I'm stumped - can anyone suggest a fix please?
Thank you

Try turning Dolby Digital to Off in audio and video settings on AppleTV.

IDVD and AVI files. (No sound)

I have a couple clips in .avi and they play well in quicktime with the Perian program but when i add them into an iDVD project I only get the video and I don't get sound. Is there a program like Perian for iDVD or some sort of plug-in to play the .avi file's audio?

Hopefully this helps answer your question:

Also take a look within the Help Menu for iDvd'08 to see which formats work best:
Video and image formats that work with iDVD
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.
NOTE: You can add any type of file to the DVD-ROM portion of your DVD so that viewers can copy the file to a computer. Viewers can access these files only when viewing the DVD in a computer, not a DVD player connected to a TV.
