.AVI Movie Won't Show in PowerPoint

I just added a .avi file into a PowerPoint presentation. But, I am getting a message on the page that says, "quicktime and a decompressor are needed to see this picture." I have Quicktime Pro installed. Am I missing something (a decompressor)?

Since PowerPoint is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

AVI movie clips not showing up in browsers.

For years I have posted my travel pics and AVI movie clips on the web. Now I've updated to Quicktime 7.1.6 and the AVI will not load in a browser (IE or Firefox). The AVI pics will play if double clicked no my desktop. Any ideas?

Embedded movies won't show up

I noticed this problem when a friend of mine directed me to a
site with an embedded movie object:
http://psubuntu.com/installation-instructions/
There are a few issues here:
1. If I look at this site in IE7, it shows up with a red "x"
icon for the reserved object dimensions
2. If I look at this in Firefox 2, it doesn't show up at all
- in fact, this is where we found the problem
3. Checking this in Opera 9, the movie appears correctly
4. My friend sent me the link to the actual youtube page with
the movie - I can see it just fine in all 3 browsers on that page
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pnmxwZJFQQ&eurl=
5. If I view the source and navigate to the link in any of
the browsers, I'm able to see the movie
6. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of my
browsers and Flash and still the same results
Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm shocked (but not
amazed) that this kind of thing would even happen in Windows XP.

The same happened to me when I edited the movie info (apple+I), and changed it to "music video". To fix it i changed info to "movies" Now I can see it in the video library.

Flash movie won't play in PowerPoint

I have created a flash movie, however, when I try to view the
slideshow, all I see is a blank page. I have installed the most
updated Active Controls and the Shockwave Player, but it still
won't play.

Right click. Open up the properties of the embedded swf.
Change 'Playing' to True. Close properties.
Careful, this may not last. I think it automatically reverts
to "playing = Flase"

Flash movie won't show

I have put a Flash movie in this page:
http://www.domainedelavagnac.com/slideshow.htm
Doesn't show. Even put the .swf file in the same directory as
the page.
But the SAME movie shows on another site hosted by another
company - here:
http://www.mywebspinners.com/garrigae/hr/testshow.htm
Is it something on the first server that is stopping it
showing?
Thanks,
- Greg

according to the page source, you should have
http://www.domainedelavagnac.com/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
but the file does not seem to exists on the server.
Did you upload the JS script ?

Rental movie won't show on Apple TV,

I bought a movie for the kids last night.
It downloaded ok on my computer but does not appear in the Apple TV system to be watched on TV.
Can somebody help ? Thanks for the kids !

Since you bought the movie and downloaded it to your computer you have to connect the Apple TV to your computer so it can access and display the movie on your TV. You do that by enabling Home Sharing on both the Apple TV and the computer using your iTunes Store account (Apple ID.) The connection is made over your local network, you don't have to physically move the TV over to the computer.
Once Home Sharing is enabled you will see your computer listed on your Apple TV under the 'Computers' menu. Select your computer and navigate to the movie listing. You should see the movie you purchase listed there.
Here are a couple of support articles to help you with Home Sharing if you have difficulty

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

you said you uninstalled iTunes. Did you follow this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
because iTunes also installs other components and when removing and re-installing, you have to remove the components in the exact order otherwise it usually doesn't resolve the issue, and sometimes make it worst!
also make sure: you're using the correct ipad usb cable and plugging it on the back of the computer (not the front usb)
next step if it doesn't work would be to try to create another windows user (administrator) and try the ipad on that one, sometimes it works like that.
Good luck

AVi movies (MPEG-4 AVI format) suddenly won't play properly in iPhoto 6.0.5

Since updating iPhoto to v.6.0.5, all of my old AVI movies in iPhoto (taken with a CASIO Exilim digital camera and uploaded earlier to my iMac G5) show only a blank screen when played and now only play the sound that was recorded. The "thumbnails still show a ppicture. They played very well before. New movies uploaded to iPhoto now show up as blank "thumbnails" and only play the sound. What gives?? Can I get the old version of iPhot back? Can someone help me?

slomart
Did you upgrade Quicktime as well?
Have you checked the Casio Website for an update?

IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

Hello to you all.
Translation excuse my English, I unfortunately can not do better. I have the same problem as you, I created a site for our travels in Brazil and I put videos on a page:
http://marc.rollmann.free.fr/marc.rollmann3/Cinema-Tropical.html
Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
Thank you to you.
ps i have clear safari cache

HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented". What gives?

I have a similar issue. My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8. It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update. I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack.
Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

Quicktime 7.1.3 won't play .mov or .swf inserted in powerpoint

I have been using Quicktime in ppt for sometime and it always played video loops fine. I upgraded to 7.1.3 and I have all kinds of problems. I have gone under the Quicktime preferences and MIME files and activated video and miscellanous types. Once I close the window though it reverts back to default and I can no longer open mov or swf. Is there a way to save these changes? Secondly when I insert a movie into ppt now it does not work. If I just open the file using Quicktime it works but not when embedded in ppt. I have reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.4 and the movies work fine. The other problem I have is that I upgraded to iTunes 7 and it requires 7.1.3 so when I remove 7.1.3 I can't use any of the video features of iTunes. Does anybody have any work arounds. Very, Very frustrated In South Dakota

Quicktime Kirk,
I have downloaded another persons inquiry because it is exactly the problem I am having. Here is his post
"I make movies of cells and convert them to quick time and insert them into powerpoint for presentations for conferences. I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to office 2004 and now many (but not all) of my movies won't play. They seem to be there but when I click play they go white as though there is only the first image. I had saved them as cinepak and or jpeg A usually with image J or older ones from the original NIH image and I can't figure out what the problem is. I even upgraded to quicktime pro to resave them as self contained but still they don't work when I insert them. I can play them all with quicktime player and when I make new ones now in image j I save them as video and that seems to work but it would be very difficult to go back and do that with everything. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?"
My additional comments would be I used the Sample_iTunes.mov from QT and it plays like a champ in PPT. My movies are all from 2004. When I save them in the QT 7.1.3 it doesn't seem to make any difference. The older movies insert into PPT as a QT icon with 4 color quadriant. Everything including .swf are now working in QT. Thanks for your help. When I go back to 7.0.3 they work but then I can't play my videos in iTunes unless I do an erase and a reinstall to get rid of the updated iTunes. Thanks
Chris

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Ended up logging out of my apple ID account. Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly. I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense. I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in. Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some. Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating
