AVI files wont read with Mavericks installed

How do it set up the new quicktime 10.7 as the default setting? everytime I open a video it kicks me back to quicktime 10.3 version even though i downloaded the ne 10.7 version.

There is no 10.7 version of QuickTime.You probably mean QuickTime Player version 7 (Utilities folder).
Right click on one of your AVI's and open the Get Info window. From this window you can change the default "Open with" app to QuickTime Player 7 and then click the "Change all" button.

Read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi

My question is how to read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi .
My objective is to create a series of small avi files by using IMAQ AVI write frame with mpeg-4 codec of 2 second long (so 40 frames in each file with 20 fps ) and then send them one by one so as to create a stream of video. The image are grabbed from USB camera. If I read those frames using IMAQ AVI read frame then compression advantage would be lost so I want to read the whole file itself.
I read the avi file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and then sent to remote end and save it and then display it, however it didnt work. I later found that if I read an image file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and save it in local computer itself , the format would be changed and it would be unrecognizable. Am I doing wrong by reading the file in unsined 8 bit integer format or should I have used any other data types.
I am using Labview 8.5 and Labview vision development module and vision acquisition module 8.5
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hello,
Check out the (full) help message for "write to binary file"
The "prepend array or string size" input defaults to true, so in your example the data written to the file will have array size information added at the beginning and your output file will be (four bytes) longer than your input file. Wire a False constant to "prepend array or string size" to prevent this happening.
Rod.

Sorry that's untrue. I have Photoshop CS3 running on 10.9.
CS9 or 10? Now you are just making stuff up.
Adobe claim CS3 will work, with a minor issue…

The Adobe updater fails to work for me.
I was prompted to install J6RE which came from Apple, check the Apple support downloads http://support.apple.com/downloads/#java%206
Sorry can't provide a direct link, it was just a dumb 'You need … please click install' dialog.
I think the 10.9 java updater is installing version 7.

I have a cd rom for my italian class, which I cannot open on my macbook pro with mavericks installed, someone said I need Rosetta! Help please

I have a cd rom for my italian class, but am unable to load it on my macbook pro with Mavericks installed.
Someone has said i need Rosetta, but understand that Apple stopped installing this!1
Can anyone suggest anything to help me??

Many educational CDs have not been upgraded due to lack of funds in the educational market to pay for the such updates.
This situation is due primarily to the fact that one of the major political parties in this country favors tax cuts to the rich while cutting federal educational support funding (or eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether).
However, you can restore Rosetta and run your educational CD if you install Snow Leopard Server ($20) into Parallels (up to $79) for use in Lion/Mt. Lion/Mavericks:

I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

Some .avi files dont open with QuickTime or MPlayer. Please help!

Hi! I have few .avi files which are not played by QuickTime and when I open them with MPlayer OS X 2, the sound is on but the video doesnt come up. Please help!

Hi Niel, Installed both. Both play the sound but NO video.. When opened in MPEG Streamclip no messages appeared so, there was nothing to accept. Appreciate your reply but if you know any other way of working this out please help. Many thanks Niel!

How do I convert Word 2004 files for use with Mavericks?

I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and now find that my old Word files (2004) can't be opened. (I can still open my Word 2008 files.) I have been a maths teacher for decades and have many old files which are still very useful but they contain more than just text; they contain diagrams, MathType expressions etc. etc. I need to be able to convert these files to files that can be opened with Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

Office 2008 should function in Mavericks and it willl open Office 2004 files:
http://roaringapps.com/app/microsoft-office-2008
Hence, you do not need to partition and install Snow Leopard into a new partition. I gave you my previous advice before you indicated you are now using Office 2008.

How do I get my AVI files to play with Lion

I uploaded my AVI files from my video camera and when I try to plan them with Lion my computer tells me that a required codec isn't available. My photos from the same camera do not have any issue uploading and are able to be viewed. Please help.

I uploaded my AVI files from my video camera and when I try to plan them with Lion my computer tells me that a required codec isn't available.
AVI is is a frame interleaving container. While the file container is supported by QT, its specific audio and video compression formats may or may not be supported. In addition, it is a very old file type for which official support was dropped more than a decade ago. Since you did not indicate which specific audio and/or video codecs are used by your camera, I can only discuss generalities and not any specifics here. Firstly, the file may contain older "lagacy" audio and video compression formats which may require the QT 7 Player and its older 32-bit QT routines for proper handling. Secondly, if codecs are missing, your best option may be to install the Parian codec component package for use by the QT 7 Player. This package contains codec support for many commonly used AVI audio/video compression format combinations. However, be advised that many AVI codecs whave never be transcoded for use on a Mac or for use with OS X or the Intel based systems. In addition. installing the Perian package may may create codec conflicts with other third-party codecs like DivX, XviD, etc., so be sure to read the Perian support page if you install this software. In any case, once Perian and QT 7 are properly installed on a Lion platform, AVI files using commonly used AVI codec combinations should become playable in the QT 7 Player app.
As previously mentioned, your other options would be to use a third-party multimedia player like VLC which contains its own built-in codecs for playback or use a conversion application like FFmpegX or HandBrake to convert your AVI files into fully compatible QT files.

How do I import an AVI file for use with FInal Cut Express

How do I import or use an AVI file with Final Cut Express?
Thank you. Do I need to convert my AVI file and what is the
easiest way to do that? Thank you.

You should convert the media to QuickTime. Without knowing any specifics most likely the simplest way is to use MPEG Streamclip.

How can I get avi files to work with imovie08?

Hi I bought a macbook last year and have loved creating imovie videos by simply using the video function on my digital camera. My daughter was born last year and we have a great collection of clips of her first 7 months. I'd now like to take things a step further and put together a wedding video.
We had our wedding day filmed on a digital camcorder by a friend and he has given my 25MB of avi files which I would like to import into imovie and make into a video however I understand that this format isn't compatible. Is there a way of getting it to work and if so please can you tell me in very simple terms what I need to do to get the files to work with imovie? (I'm not very technical)
Thanks
Matt

I do not know of a way to import .avi files directly into iMovie, and I am positive that this is not actually possible as iMovie only supports the importation of .mov, .mp4 (mpeg4) and .dv filetypes.
What you could do is use a video converter (there are some good ones that are availible free, eg MPEG Streamclip (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html)) to convert those avi movie files to either of the 3 video formats iMovie supports, then import them.
MPEG Streamclip does sound a little complicated for you but it is the best I have found, any more questions just post them here.

AVI files wont encode

I'm working on a project that requires me to capture video from 3/4 inch analogue tape. Some of the project was shot on DV format and was in raw form. Here's my work flow.
I'm taking my 3/4" analogue tape and loop it through a dv deck (to make it digital) and into my apple G5 by firewire from the dv deck. I edit my piece out and and export it out as an AVI file. I adjust the AVI compression video setting to "none" and export it out to a server.
From this server our IT dept. takes it and encodes to the file type they want along with the settings for streaming. BUT some of the files they cannot encode.
It seems that the pieces that were edited from the raw DV tape were able to be encoded...and only SOME of the 3/4" pieces were able to be formated. Others give an error.
I'll post the error message here:
\videos\ProfessionalTechnicalEd\HumanSvcs\MarieR\New\Terminology
Error: 0xC00D1B83 - One or more codecs required to open this content could not be found.
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder>Pause
Press any key to continue . . .
Has anyone had this same issue and does anyone have a solution for getting these encoded from an AVI file.

I often need to make files in FCP that Windows Media Encoder can read for transcoding to WM#. My workflow from a dv sequence is:
1) "Export Using Quicktime Conversion"
2) Format: "AVI"
3) "Options..."
4) "Settings..."
5) Compression type: "DV/DVC PRO - NTSC"
6) Motion
a) Frames per second either 29.97 or "Best"
b) no "Key frame every" set (dv has no keyframes)
c) no "Limit data rate to" set (dv has its inherent own data rate)
7) Compressor
a) Quality "Best"
b) Scan Mode "Interlaced" (windows media encoder has its own de-interlacer)
c) Aspect Ratio "4:3" (I let windows media encoder do the aspect ratio correction depending on the final use)
This work flow just repackages the dv file in fcp into a dv encoded AVI with no re-compression.
The "uncompressed" option you describe basically gets you no advantage, its just a huge file.
There also could be problems with the audio that is causing windows media encoder to choke.
As an aside windows media encoder does its own "color correction" so you need to color correct your original fcp sequence to a full range sequence otherwise windows media encoder will make it really flat.

Aperture crashes upon trying to play video. Exporting .AVI file wont play.

Hi,
I uploaded my holiday pictures and 4 videos into Aperture and when I try to play the videos I get pretty bad beachball with no playback of the video. When I export the file I am presented with a SAM_xxx.AVI file. (SAM from Samsung camera). I have tried to play the file with Quicktime, VLC & MPlayer X. I ran the 4 files through DivFix++ and I am given the error, "Input file is not .avi"
Any thoughts as to whats going on? Aperture shows a thumbnail for the videos and VLC shows correct length but no playback.
Thanks

I have both an iPad and iPhone connected to my Mac. I disconnected both, then restarted my Mac and Safari. No improvement. Used Lion Recovery System to reload Lion. Interesting thing, Safari 5.1.7 was installed rather than Safari 6. This made me happy, as Safari 6 has been nothing but trouble for me. When I opened Safari, it took me back to apple.com, even though my homepage is yahoo.com. I was immediately confronted with the infamous Steve Jobs video, that has crashed my computer every time it's popped up on my screen. This time, however, it didn't crash ... I just got the spinning beachball for about 30 seconds, then the Quicktime thermometer at the bottom started moving and I was sure it was going to work. After the thermomter passed about one-fourth of the way over, the screen blanked and the Quicktime thermometer started all over again. This behavior persisted until I got tired of it and went to my home page. However, I can open Quicktime and watch videos again, even the YouTube ones that were crashing every time. Now I just have to figure out how to never let a Software Update stick me with Safari 6 ever again. If it does, I'm simply through with it and will make Firefox my default browser. Thank you so much for getting me this far. I will keep monitoring these discussions to see if Apple ever gets Safari 6 to the point that I'll give it another trial.

File wont read, and I'm ready to tear my hair out!!!

Good Morning
I wrote a short program to read a .txt file and assign values into an array. My program works, woo hoo (or so I thought...)
But when I took the same code, and pasted into a function of a larger program, the file doesnt get read! In my larger program, I need the function to return the value of the array so I can use the array elsewhere. II originally thought the file didn't read because the .txt file and program were not stored in the same folder, which is not the case. So now I am wondering if I needed to pass a value to the function, or to call the function from inside the larger file, or basically what the heck I am missing! I am just not seeing it and am totally lost and dreaming of this, when I sleep of course!
Code that works on its own -
import java.io.*;

public class readInput {
   public static void main(String args[])throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {

            int counter = 0; // counter for loop, also the index of the array for terms
               int [] termInfo = new int[3];
              int test =0;
           try {
            FileReader termInput = new FileReader("terms.txt"); // creates file reader for rates file
            Scanner scan1 = new Scanner(termInput); // scanner searches the file for what is requested
            while (scan1.hasNext()) {
                if (scan1.hasNextInt()) {
                    // if found, assign to an array value
                    i = scan1.nextInt();
                    termInfo[counter] = i;
                    System.out.println("Value " + test + " in term array is " + termInfo[counter]);
                    counter++;

           } // close catch

            Scanner scan1 = new Scanner(termInput); // scanner searches the file for what is requested
            while (scan1.hasNext()) {
                if (scan1.hasNextInt()) {
                    // if found, assign to an array value
                    i = scan1.nextInt();
                    termInfo[counter] = i;
                    System.out.println("Value " + test + " in term array is " + termInfo[counter]);
                    counter++;
