AVI formatted movies

How do I view an avi format movie on my MacBook?
I was going to download quicktime pro, but quicktime 7 will not install because I have quicktime X on my MacBook. Any suggestions?

You can download vlc media player for Mac. It runs perfectly on mine.

    Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

  • Playing AVI Format Movie Clips?

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems when i try to play movie clips that i've shot using my digital camera.
    I can save the clips onto iphoto and when i open one, it does play the actual footage but not the sound.
    The other thing is that when i play each clip it opens in Quick Time which i guess is the default.
    So how do i get the sound to play?
    Cheers!

    avi is a container format for a lot of different codecs, and not all of them are part of Quicktime. Installing Perian adds codecs to Quicktime and may help. Other than that, go to your camera maker's site and see if they have a codec you can download.
    The other thing is that when i play each clip it opens in Quick Time which i guess is the default.
    iPhoto has no ability to play videos, it simply catalogues and stores them. They are played in the QT player.

  • HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

    What software do i need to install in order to be able
    to play movies in .avi format.
    have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
    files are in .avi format.
    Ansver i get : does not support

    VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
    There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
    Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
    VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

  • I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer.

    I would like to transfer movies from my Mac (avi format) to ipad2 which I think supports MP4 files. How do I transfer. There are so many softwares available on the web but none that can be downloaded on to the iMAC.
    Please Help

    iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
    H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
    Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

    How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

    If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
    You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
    Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow

  • Mini DVR Records in .AVI and .MOV Format-white screen

    I am a private investigator, and have used a mac for years. I purchased my new MacBook 2 weeks ago for the purpose of uploading the video to my mac, and burning the video to DVD for my clients.
    I just purchased a JS208 Mini DVR and Mini Spy Button Cam. I.E. its a generic chinese product, but I was told that since it records in .AVI and .MOV format, I could either plug in the SV card (with the video from the mini DVR) or plug the USB cord into the computer and upload the video.
    When I plug in the DVR, iPhoto recognizes that a .MOV is available. It downloads.
    However, once downloaded, and opened on Quicktime, no sound and white screen.
    When I click on Command I, This is what i see:
    Source: /Users/sammythepug/Desktop/MPEG0002.MOV
    Format: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 x 480, Millions
    Microsoft ADPCM, Stereo, 12.000 kHz
    FPS: 30
    Playing FPS: (Available while playing)
    Data size: 2.28MB
    Data Rate: 2336.00 kbits/s
    Current Time: 0:00:00:00.00
    Duration: 0:00:00:08.20
    Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels
    Current Size: 640 x 480 pixels (Actual)
    I spent an hour on the phone with Mac Support, and they told me to download MPEG StreamClip. I really don't know what I am doing at this point, because everyone told me it would be easy...HELP!!

    Here are the DVR Specs:
    Digital Screen: 1.5" TFT LCD
    Recording Formats: AVI, ASF, MOV
    Recording Resolution: 640x480, 480x240, 160x120 pixels
    Frame Rate: 30 FPS
    Built in Flash: 45MB
    SUB Jack: High Speed USB 2.0
    Mini Cam Specs:
    Picup device: 1/3" color CMOS
    System: PAL/NTSC/ EIA
    Horizontal Definition: 420 TV Lines
    Minimum Illumination: 3 Lux
    Dimensions: 27x27x8mm
    Power Supply DC 5V
    I am also open to recommendations for other cameras that may work. The DVR has to be smaller than a pack of cigarettes, and has to be compatible with the mini button camera.
    thanks

  • How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

    How to publish to video format avi , wmv , mov or mpg ?

    Hello there,
    You can publish as MP4 from Captivate and then use any video converters to convert from MP4 to whatever format you need. But, as Lilybiri mentioned, there won't be any interactivity in the videos.
    Thanks,

  • Movie in Mpeg or AVI format

    Hello,
    I am a first time user of this forum.
    I made a small slideshow/movie in iMovie to be shown during an upcoming church service and burned it in iDVD. The fellow responsible for the presentation would like the movie in either Mpeg or AVI format. He will loose too much picture quality if he transfers from the DVD. I can not find how to do this with my computer.

    If you have QuickTime Pro, you should be able to create a .avi file from the File->Share... menu item in iMovie. From the "share" dialog, pick "QuickTime" across the top, and select "Expert Settings" from the drop-down menu for "Compress movie for:", then click "Share".
    Once you get that, you'll be presented with a dialog from QTPro that will ask you where you want to save it and, in the bottom, there will be two drop-downs for "Export:" and "Use:". Click on the "export:" drop-down and you'll be presented with all your export choices--hopefully among that will be AVI. Mine has MPEG-4, but I'm not sure if that's what your presentation person means when they say "MPEG".
    Good luck!

  • Exporting  to .avi or .mov format

    How can I export and iMovie to a .avi or .mov format? For use by others with PC's , etc.

    both, avi and mov are no formats, just containers, some say wrappers...
    in the share/expert settings dialog, you're offerd with zillions of options...
    PC users need to install the latest version of QuicktimeForWindows, free for download at apple.com...
    avi is little supported on Mac... old school & wrong side of the street..
    think about investing into some plug-ins from www.flip4mac.com …
    form a users point of view, I collected some info on a website: CODEXX
