AVI movies don't work

Hi,
After I upgraded Leopard, my .avi movies (which I think are divx) show up with a white screen and either white noise or no sound. My videos in iTunes work fine. But everything else that I didn't transfer isn't working. I have DivX Doctor II from a long time ago, but what (free) codec do I need to download to get this working again? Thanks.....

u need mpeg-4 files and put them in itunes from what i understand u have to take the avi into QT Pro and export to iPod which is .m4v which works on the iPod mpegs i'mtold its near hopeless to convert those straight to m4v files because for some reason they lose audio playback

Recompose, content aware move tool and move don't work

recompose, content aware move tool and move don't work. It seems that the selected area keeps jumping back to its original position. What do I miss or what is going wrong?

Well, you haven't told us what version of PSE or what platform, but does this sound relevant?

Movies don't work

Incorporated into my site are a number movies. They work perfectly in iWeb. They work perfectly when I published my web site to a folder on my desktop. But when I published the site to a hosting service, and then opened my site online, the movies don’t work. The only thing you can see when you open a movie, is a big “Q,” ostensibly the logo for Quicktime. But there’s no movie, no movie controllers, no movie screen. Just the big blue Q. Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated..

Confirm that the .m4v files are uploaded to the Media folder.
If they are then your server needs to configure themselves to allow the .m4v file extension. All I get when I try a direct link to your files is a "page not found" error.
Contact your server and ask them if they support .m4v file extension and if they can fix your problem.

Avi movies don't play in iDVD preview

Hi,
I have a problem with avi files playing in iDVD preview. I am using an iMac 2.16 OS 10.5 I created a new project in iDVD '08 and placed a avi movie in my project. When I press play to preview it woun't play. At work I have a mac pro OS 10.4 and I am using the same avi movies in iDVD '08 when I press play the movie does play. I burned it to a DVD and it played on my DVD player with no problems. Does anyone know why I'm having problems when I work from my iMac at home?

+But why would they work on one computer and not the other.+
Same OS on both?
AVIs can contain all sorts of stuff...

Have you run software update?

.avi files no longer work in quicktime

hi. I recently reinstalled Mac OS X 10.4.11 and now .avi files don't work work in quicktime player. The timer along the bottom still counts what looks to be the right time, but there is no sound or picture, except with other file types, it seems (or at least with .mpg 's it's OK, they're the only file types I've tried) I've got VLC player, so it's obviously not a massive inconvenience, but it's irking me and I wondered if anyone could help me out.

You probably need to download and install Perian from http://perian.org/

Sorry about the iphone comments, i will address that seperately.
I went to VLC media, downloaded that. However the .avi movie file comes in email and I have only one option to download the movie. So I click that and the movie tries to open and I get the message that apple cannot open that type of avi movie. I try to drag it to the VCL 'drag video here' box and it does not work.
I went to mydlink and clicked on the 'set up for mac user' link and the page opens blank.
thank you for your feedback. i didn't really think i was going to get any support but you all have been so nice.
i will definitely provide more input when i make an inquiry next time.
in any event, i still cannot get it to work =(
There is also a good chance that the .avi is simply corrupt as often hapens with this format. I have often had .avis that simply will not open, no matter what program or converter you try using. It's a bummer, but being an older format, it is becoming more common.
Good Luck

My .avi movies work fine in v7.5, will they work in v7.5.5?

Help please.
My Samsung Pro 815 camera takes videos in .avi format.
These videos work fine in QuickTime version 7.5 albeit the image is small.
I have read many topics here with people complaining that .avi files do not work for them.
When I update to version 7.5.5, which it seems I must do prior to updating iTunes, will my .avi files still work?
If not, is it possible to keep 2 versions of QuickTime? How can I update to make this work?
Thanks for your help,
Mrs H

Thanks David M.-
Try this:
Install the Perian component for Quicktime. Perian can play most aiv's. http://perian.org/ And it's free!
If QT will work without this, I'd rather not bother with a component I don't need.
And while your at it, so you can play Microsofts video's, WMV. Install the component Flip4Mac. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx And that's free too!
I've not yet (to my knowledge) had any reason to play Microsoft's videos, but I'll keep this in mind if the need occurs.
Thanks again,
Mrs H

InDesign copy, cut or move box functions don't work

I am having trouble with the copy, cut and move box commands. When a text or shape box is active, I cannot move it with the cursor. It will move if I use the arrow keys, but the box behaves like it were "locked." I deleted my preferences, but that makes no difference. This problem persists whether I am in an existing ID document, or if I start a new one.
The copy and cut functions don't work either.

Of course replacing your prefs is a possibility, and has nothing to do with the need to force quit (but will probably cure it). Replacing prefs is done with the application closed, either using the keyboard combination as you relaunch, or by deleting or renaming the specified files, both ow hich are desribed inthe link in the previous post.
You posted that you had already deleted the prefs, I believe, but many users are not aware they can use the keyboard or that there are two files involved for ID and are not successful, and thus think repacing the the prefs is not going to solve the problem. Hence my previous question. Did you use one of the methods in the link?

All of a sudden my iTunes Movie trailers don't work

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

IPhoto 6 problem with AVI movies

I have about 6000+ pictures and about 500 quicktime (AVI) movies in my iPhoto 6 library.
MAll of the AVI movies that I had imported over the past couple of years show up in my library, but when I double click some of them, Quicktime loads up, and then just opens the generic quicktime window - and does not load the movie clip. If I get info on the movie icon, it says that it is an AVI file, the original size in mb's of the original file, says it is 640x480 resolution, but has little dashes when it comes to camera info. If I use spotlight to find the actual file in my "iPhoto Library" subfolders, I go all the way down to appropriate roll, but can't find the original file. I think I may have found some of them, but they are now listed as ".jpg"'s.
Some of the AVI movies do work, but some do not... I fear that it may be corrupted somehow. Some of the videos were of my mother from two Christmas' ago - she passed away last summer, and they are priceless to me! Help! Any suggestions???

I have SAME EXACT PROBLEM as described in the original post. Some AVI's open, some don't. Can't drag them out of iPhoto, can't export (as Original, when exported as Current they export just a small .JPG). Using NO 3rd party software, the only thing I did was "upgrade" to iLife 08. Have installed all recent software updates. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix coming? The properties for my .AVI's show a large file size (e.g., 100Mb), but haven't figured out how to get them out of iPhoto in order to view/manipulate, or use w/ iMovie.

AVI movie duration in File Info?

Whenever AVI movie is selected in Finder brief File Info is listed including Preview in right panel. It contains such fields as Kind, Size, etc. and Duration. Unfortunately Duration field of all AVI files is empty (--). Is it possible somehow to make this field showing real number?
Otherwise I have to open every movie in Quicktime -> FileInfo to get movie Duration.

Spotlight reads file metadata (image dimensions, video dimension/duration for example), then Finder reads Spotlight's index and displays the information in column view and in the "Get Info" window. That's the basic concept, your/our problem is an issue caused by Spotlight.
Spotlight misses a plugin (*.mdimporter) telling it to read the metadata from .avi files. CoreMedia.mdimporter in System/Library/Spotlight links to .mov, .mpg, .mp4, .3ggp only. Well, to QuickTime's core media formats, you know.
A workaround is to save .avi files as .mov files ("movie container") in QuickTime Player. The file will not be exported/encoded in any way, it will simply be "compressed" in a container, kind of zipped, and Spotlight will read the information. It's just the file extension. In QuickTime 7 you have to select "self-contained movie", otherwise you'll create an alias. QuickTime X saves self-contained movies by default. Of course, this only works, if your .avi file opens with QuickTime Player...
A solution may simply be to edit the Info.plist in CoreMedia.mdimporter. I don't know. Most likely not, much too simple. And then there's still Code Signature.

Problems with exporting flash movie to AVI movie

Hi, I have created a flash movie with motion tweens for my lettering and added external images for my backgrounds and symbols to create a presentation. The presentation works perfect in Flash, but the problem is when I export it to an AVI movie, the lettering is totally gone for each slide and only the images of backgrounds and symbols are working.
I keeping getting an error in the output box everytime I play the movie in flash:
Error opening URL 'http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml'
I don't know if this helps.

Not sure you posted this issue to the correct forum. This is the Adobe Connect Forum not the Flash forum. You might get better results in the Flash forum.
I think your conversion tool is doing that. Maybe another one would be better.

Streamed events don't work: Timed Out message

I know I've posted a message here on this subject, so please forgive me.
The problem I've got is that my admin account can't successfully see any of the Apple webcasts. Quicktime launches and goes through a negotiation process but then just times out. Changing the streaming protocol to HTTP80 doesn't work, when this is selected I simply get "connection failed".
The odd thing is that a standard user account that I'd previously set up on the computer works like a charm, no problems at all. So, what's up do you think?
The even odder thing is, if I now add another user account to the machine then the behaviours of the new account match that of my main admin account. ie, Quicktime webcasts don't work.
I've tried the deleting the webplugin but that has had little or no positive effect.
Any advice is very welcome, short of re-installing my system (which I'm almost tempted to do!!)
Best regards

*A few suggestions:*
Repair permissions & restart your computer.
Check your QT MIME Settings.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
Restart your computer.
Consider updating your OS to the last & latest Tiger version - 10.4.11 along with all other updates that goes with it from the Software Update control panel.
