.AVI file format question

Upgrading from CS2 to Photoshop CS5
I found out after the fact that in order to edit video you need CS5 Extended.
So, I then went and returned regular and upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended.
(See my other thread for details, but installing the 12.01 patch is not an option at this time.)
Try to use file open to open a .AVI file from one of my cameras and get a message of "unrecognized file format".
Was able to import the 7 second video into layers.
Checked support issues, and installed Quicktime 7.6.8
Also, due to 12.01 issues, reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended AFTER upgraded Quicktime to 7.6.8
Machine specs:  Toshiba Satellite P30  Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.60 GHZ (Hyperthreading Dual Core) 2GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Win XP Professional SP3 About 12 GB disk space available at install time.
Note that Quicktime will open the .AVI file in question with no problems, as well as Roxio software (trying to get rid of that with CS5)

I talked to support via phone and it appears the the problem is in installation.  The install of CS5 extended did not take over the regular install.  So, I need to start by completely uninstalling AGAIN and installed extended from scratch AGAIN.
I did try the program mention GSPOT as well.  It says AVI codecs are installed on the machine inquestion.  I will get more informaiton tonight afte rI do the re-install and see what happens.

  • AVI file format

    Hello
    At this moment I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but in the future I want to use Final Cut Studio. Now I make avi file in Microsoft DV format. Is this also possible in FCS ? Al the file that I create in FCS are later used in Premiere Pro, so there must be some kind of compatibility. Those anyone know how compatible FCS is with Premiere Pro
    Thanks in advance

    You'll have no problems making the switch. All the normal codecs - DV, Uncompressed 10-bit, etc, all work perfectly in both applications.
    You can easily make AVI's, but not directly from within FCS. All you have to do is export your finished movie and transcode it in a third-party app. A good one is VisualHub, it's $23 shareware. But as I said, you won't need these to move media between Premiere and FCS.

  • HT3775 will my mac play .avi file formats?

    Hi
    I have a new mac and not sure on opening this format. The help section lists AVI and the file format is .avi bit it wont open.
    Any ideas?

    In addition to the VLC player that mende1 mentions, you can use a tool like Handbrake to transcode such formats to an MP4 that will play in quicktime. These can be found here:

  • Quicktime 10 .avi file format

    I just got my new MacBook pro with the snow leopard system, and Quicktime 10.0 (90.3.1).
    I can view the .avi movie, but have no sound... any suggestions on what to do to listen?

    any suggestions on what to do to listen?
    The normal solution when a file loads but does not play either the audio or video portion of the content is to determine what codec is not being supported, locate a Mac component version of that component, and install it on you system. In the case of AVI files, the Perian (free) component package will play most "common" audio/video format combinations currently in use on Windows platforms. However, be advised that this file format is old (i.e., the developer dropped official support for it a decade ago) and there are several codecs that have never been transcoded for use on the Mac or may only be available for OS 9 and/or non-Intel systems. In addition, if you already have Perian installed and then upgraded to Snow Leopard, it may be necessary to re-install the package to properly re-link the components for QT X.

  • File format question h264  /Blurry MPEG 4 output

    "The codec with the best quality to size ratio is H264" was suggested for me to use when making web movies. This may be a stupid question, but is tehre any other file format (other then MPEG 4) that will play on an iPod and other digital media players. My Mpeg4 looks blurry and I really don't know why. I input h264 video into iMovie/ FC Express and the edit. When I export to MPEG 4 the video is blurry. I am only going down in physical size so pixelation is not the issue..(i think).

    You see aac and h.264 are not editing formats in the FCP world. Easiest is to convert them first. It's very easy. Go get a copy of MPEGStreamclip and convert them to something useable, like ProRes LT. Then just import them, and drop one into a timeline and let the timeline adjust to the footage. You do not have to setup one of the easy settings in order to work.

  • File format question

    can anyone explain the differences in a swf file, a gif file, and a svg file? when would you use one over the other and which is smallest? I get confused about these. Will all of these take transparencies? Thanx for any help.
    red

    Well, this question cannot be answered easily. It all depends on specific use cases. Let's see:
    GIF - Bitmap format. Limited to max. 256 colors. One of those colors may be tagged to be interpreted as transparent by browsers and image viewers. May contain animation by ways of separate, discrete frames. The color palette is distributed to the animation, hence the more differnt colors are used, the more dithering will occur and the uglier it looks. als file size increases considerably, the longer the animation.
    SWF - Flash container file. Objects embedded are treated "as is", meaning they are animated procedurally while the file plays. The objects themselves can be pixel images, movie clips, vector art or Flash-internal parametric items. No limitations in color palette or duration, file size only increases the more objects are used. Since the animation must be calculated in realtime during playback, variations in speed may occur, depending on the machine performance.
    SVG - Vector based. May contain animation. Rendered on the target device, hence simialr rules as with SWF apply. Support in browsers however is very limited, so it is not widely used. Primarily used on mobile phones for icons and graphic elements (SVG tiny)

  • Mac OSX file format questions

    I am using Quicken 2005 and these days I backup my accounts to my USB flash drive. In the past i backed up to zip disk or floppy. backing up to a floppy would be problematic since the Mac version has never supported multiple disk backup which the PC version even to this day still supports. And besides floppy disk access has always been slower and more problematic on the Mac for some reason.
    Okay here is my question.
    My quicken files end with a Backup-file.qdfm extension.
    But whenever I upload these files (sadly they have to be dragged an dropped with Fetch) they appear as a folder on my FTP server. So I have been using the classic version of Transmit instead of the native OSX version of Fetch to upload my Quicken backup accounts.
    My question if I ever had a major disaster (this has happened before) would the folder (what it appears to be) on my FTP server save me or should I be zipping this quicken file before I upload? I have been using Quicken since 1998 for the Mac and PC, and have thousands of bank transactions that are valuable and that I do not want to lose.
    Encase you cannot understand what I mean here is a screen shot. The file above is the Quicken 2006 file, and the one below is a older Quicken 2001 file that I uploaded when I had my Performa.

    Thank you,
    John

    One way to know for sure would be to download the file (folder) and open it in Quicken. Of course I would make and keep a backup on your local drive before doing this.
    Like you I have been using Quicken for many years but I back mine up to another hard drive, then I back everything on it up on a regular basis to a CD. I also use .Mac and the backup program included with it to back up my Quicken files off site. The .Mac solution is automatic, and takes place daily which is nice.
    "But whenever I upload these files (sadly they have to be dragged an dropped with Fetch)'
    Do you want to automate the process? If so, that is what Automator and Applescript are for. Surely you could write a simple script to do it for you.

  • Write to text file formatting questions

    Apologies if I am touching on a subject discussed elsewhere.  I have two issues, which I believe to be related, that I am having difficulty overcoming.  I am collecting voltage date, converting it to a temperature, and then writing the time stamp, temperature, excitation voltage, and original voltage to file.  Currently, when I write these values to file the date and time appear on one line, the temperature and voltages appear on the following line, and then there is a space before the pattern repeats.  Furthermore, before data is collected I write information to a header, and if you look at the attached .csv file, you'll see that the data is all offset one column to the left.  Any ideas how I can solve this problem?  My code probably speaks for itself, but I am very much a novice so any general insight in non-jargon terminology will be humbly accepted.  Cheers, Peter.

    Your problem is where you are building your data line.  Why are you using Build Array and then Inster into Array?  You don't want arrays when writing to the text file.  Each element of an array will be a different line.  What you really want is Concatinate String.  Use the Concatinate String to build a string with your timestamp, a comma, and your "spreadsheet string" that contains your data.

  • CAP File format questions !!!

    I've been trying to parse CAP files, but having trouble figuring out these values...
    In Method component: what is the number of elements in "method_info methods[]" array???
    in method_info: what is the size of bytecodes[] array???
    in type_descriptor_info: what is the number of elements in type_desc[] array???
    many thanks

    See the JCVM Specifications, the size of the structure arrays u have mentioned is not specified. If you parse these files u can do it with the help of Reference location component. If you use the pointers in C it will be easy as compared to Java.

  • Transferring video I have taken (AVI file format) to iPodTouch

    I would like to transfer a video I have shot and that is in iPhoto to my iPod touch so I can show it to others when I don't have my computer with me. So far I haven't discovered a way to copy it. I can get still photos with no problem.
    Is this possible? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hi,
    You will need to put your video through some sort of conversion.

  • How to open AVI files?

    I have six AVI files that I very much need to see.   They come on a CD-ROM.  I have transferred them to my hard drive.   They do not work from either the CD-ROM or the hard drive.
    GetInfo identifies these videos as “AVI movie.”
    The closest I can get is with Real Player, Version 12.0.1 (1750).  This application opens a window for each file.  The thermometer across the bottom of the window moves as if the application is playing the video, but the window remains totally black.   (The videos should not have any sound, so I do not expect to hear anything from them.)
    I have no luck at all with VLC and QuickTime Player.  VLC, Version 2.0.7 Twoflower (Intel 64bit), reports:
    QuickTime Player, Version 10.0 (131), reports:
    I get this problem with videos from people who do not use Macinstoshes.  
    Does anyone know how to open such AVI files? 

    I have Perian 1.2.3.  Its update function reports that is the latest version.  
    Perian's GetInfo has the following report, which says nothing about the T263 codec:

  • Why does "only" my Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?

    Why does Adobe flash profession CS6 can't export avi. file?
    but when I watch Youtube video, there are avi file format option in CS6!!!!!!!
    Can anybody help me?
    WHY?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Flash uses the Adobe Media Converter to create the video output. If you select the "Use Media Converter" option after selecting to output to Quicktime, and, if your computer has the AVI codec installed, you should be able to export to an AVI file.
