Avi with srt file played on quicktime 10.1

hello guys! i recently purchased mac os X lion and have a problem as far as avi.files are concerned. Here is the specific issue;
Whenever i try to play an avi.file (don't know the specific codec, not familiar with this stuff) companied with a srt file (ex season1.avi, season1.srt) there appears a message saying: you need quicktime player 7 if you want to play this file or something like this. I DON'T want to play these files with quicktime 7 because of it's bad video quality. Is there any way of playing these files on quicktime 10.1? (tried everything: perian, flip4mac, divx but still...)
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you in advance.

Thats ok peeps resolved the issue by installing Perian all working again now

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. There are some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help. Am I missing some Apple software? I thought QT for Mountain Lion could convert the .vob files - is there some setting that I have missed?
Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

Combine video with .srt file

I've downloaded this file from Google Video, got its .srt file too, and need to burn a disk with the two in one. You know, not just burn the .avi/.mpg and the .srt, then ask friends to use VLC or something similar to watch. I need to find a way to 'burn' the .srt subtitles onto the video itself, then make a DVD of the finished product.
I remember someone had suggested once that I use Handbrake to do that, so I got it, but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do that. Anybody knows? Or does anyone know of another utility, even iMovie HD 6 itself (although I very much doubt it...) that could do the trick?
Many thanks, people.

I'm not familiar with .srt files, they are mainly .txt files with a very elaborated structure... but "TitleLab" claims to convert .srt files into something, you can use in combo with QTpro... I think, there's a How-To in the download included...
you get it TitleLab download here for free..

No video (only audio) in wmv file played in Quicktime

This has come up a couple of times recently with wmv files played in QT through Flip4Mac.
A window [sic] comes up saying "Additional software is required for Quicktime to playback this media. It may be available from the Quicktime Components page." When I click to go to the components page there's a whole raft of different components by different companies but none says anything about the problem I have. Even getting any of those components, let alone installing them, is too confusing to go there. There are very few of these kinds of unplayable (video only) wmv files, so I'm wondering if I should just give up trying to find a solution or if there is something out there that I should try.
Thanks for any help or advice on this subject.

.mov files play in quicktime 10 but not quicktime 7

i have .mov files that I made in the qt version before 7
I upgraded my OSX to 10.6.7
I purchased the Pro version of QT 7
It will not play my .mov files
However, my other machine that also runs OSX 10.6.7 has QT 10 installed and it plays the movies
So...
I tried to find Quicktime 10 to purchase on the Apple site and they do not sell it
will it be on my snow leopard install disks?

Compare the audio and video compression formats used in the MOV files against the QT component configuration of the two systems in question. You will likely find that the codec components needed to play the MOV files are not installed on upgraded system or the have broken paths or simply need to be updated to work correctly with the non playing system.

It is installed by the Snow Leopard installer but is not stored as a separate application. (I.e., it would have to be extracted from the Snow Leopard installer package but cannot be installed on non-Snow Leopard operating systems.

How to make .wmv files play in QuickTime Player 7 rather than 10

I have just about had it with QuickTime Player 10 in the Applications folder
and would rather use QuickTime Player 7 in the Utilities folder to play .wmv files.
When I double click on a .wmv file, it opens in QuickTime Player 10 with the
lame floating thing that blocks the view. Where and how can set 10.6.2 to use
QuickTime Player 7 rather than QuickTime Player 10?
The floating thing is really annoying

QuickTime X is very new software and only Snow Leopard users have it
A blurb on the 22-Jan-2010 issue of iClarified
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7303
indicates a soon to be released 10.6.3 update will contain some QuickTime X
enhancements. I hope the enhancement fixes the floating navigation bar that
caused me to revert to QuickTime 7.

No files playing in Quicktime

Hi guys,
Having a major issue with Quicktime at the moment under Lion.
No files will play as expected, except for .flv files under the perian codec.
Most files open normall,y but when I press play, it instantly stops the video. Clicking play only circles a loop around and makes me click play again.
I did manage to open another file that played, but for the split second that usually the play/pause button issue would happen, a different problem occured.
The video plays, and once you click play, there is audio for about half a second, then it turns the audio off and carries on the video. Press pause, then play again, and youll get the next half second of audio from the point you paused the video.
I have absolutely no idea what to do here!

Same experience here on a 3GS. Voicemail .wav files attached to emails played fine under 3.0, and perhaps under 3.1 (not sure exactly when this broke), but it's not working at all under 3.1.2.
Wow, the strangest thing just occurred. I tried just now, so that I might precisely describe the symptoms (it had been that the attachment would start to download, but stop partway through, and QuickTime was never invoked). When I downloaded the attachment moments ago, the d/l completed, the icon on the file became a Q, and QuickTime played the message.
I'm wondering if it makes a difference that I am currently in the office and on Wi-Fi, rather than connecting via 3G. Have to do some experimenting, I guess.
But at least there appears to be no inherent incompatibility or QuickTime flaw.

Combine avi with Avchd files in Premiere elements 10

I am trying to make a DVD using clips that were taken with my old camcorder which was DV, and using clips from my new camcorder which is AVCHD. Premiere elements 10 lets me do this, but it appears that my HD files are not the same quality as what I see just looking at the clip with the camera directly hooked to the TV. A dialouge box comes up and states when I bring the DV clips into the project that it will reduce the quality to standard definition. Is there a way to combine these types of files in the same project and keep the HD quality of the new clips?

You are already spoilt by seeing your HD stuff!
I think you will find that the normal old standard DVD player never showed the full capability that stadard def was capable of. You had to get a $1000 player to see it as it really is. So it was never quite as good as component video straight from the camera or seeing it captured on your computer.
Good Blue Ray players play old DVD much better because they are getting everything off the disk that it is capable of.
BlueRay will overtake DVD in the reasonable near future like DVD overtook VCRs so you should make a Blue Ray disk for the future. If other viewers still need DVD you can make a DVD from the HD project.
To make a Blue Ray--
Buy and install a Blue Ray burner in your computer (less than $100)
Setup as a FullHD project 1920x1080 25frames interlaced (or 30 for USA)
Import both clips where you want them. AVI and AVCHD mix well
Sharpening the avi clips a little helps make up for the loss in resolution
Share to a Blue REay disk (make sure the blank disk is fast enough for the burner because Adobe burns only at full speed. If using slower disks then share as a file and use another program to burn the disk (see other posts on this)
To make a DVD (before you buy the BD burner), make anopther copy of your projrct and add about 20% sharpening and share the above project to DVD. It looks a bit poor on your TV but will look pretty well as good as an original DVD made form the AVI clips when viewed on your TV
To make a DVD only, first convert the AVCHD to AVI and sharpen them then make a normal DVD project as everything will now be AVI. The origimnal AVI clips will be better but the HD will obviously be only one quarter of the resolution.
I recently made such a DVD from my Sony $1000 FullHD camera and the DVD copy when played on my Pioneer Blue Ray player on the TV was just as good as old DVDs made with my previous Sony $1800 Widescreen SD camera. The Blue Ray copy of course was brilliant!
The amout of sharpening involves personal preference and depends on how sharp the original material is.
People wilth good eyesight might see it as oversharpening whereas it can look great to those less foertunate or old people not wearing their glasses!
While they may have a reasonable resolution for file detail, some HD cameras dont have a good "depth of resolution" at mid frequencies that represent the upper limit of fine detail for SD cameras. When downsized to SD, the picture from the HD camera can actually be fuzzier than an old SD camera that was tweaked up to look sharp on an old TV.
So you have to add this extra tweaking to comnpensate (a bit like turing up the audio treble control to hear the snare drums on a portable radio)
If destined for viewing on a TV set, the limit of sharpening is where the edges of objects start to crinkle excessively or the video noise becomes excessive. This should be evaluated only on the TV where it will finally be shown and at the TV viewing distance (not on a computer and not too close up)
To avoid wasting blank disks you can make a test disk of the same few scenes with different amounts of sharpening. Try a long shot, mid shot and closeup as the subjecvt material also influences the eye's perception of sharpness.

.MOV files play in Quicktime 7, but not in Quicktime 10.2

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2. I have the newest Quicktime (10.2) and Quicktime 7 (Pro). There seems to be a problem with Quicktime 10.2. It opens, but cannot play, my .mov files. Quicktime 7 still plays them perfectly, though.
Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!
-AO

There's nothing to fix.
QuickTime 10 can't play all of the formats (codecs) that play just fine in QuickTime Player 7.
Use both versions.

Matching ".avi" and ".srt" files into a single clip of ".mov" file

I think "iSkysoft iMedia Converter" is the right converter to get .mov files from .avi files. (Any other suggestions will be appreciated)
My problem is something else:
I have "subtitles file" in .str format corresponding with the "movie file" in .avi format.
However, the subtitles (.str) file can be matched with the movie (.avi) file only while you are watching it.
Question : Is it possible to get a single (.mov) clip with the subtitles "sticked" on the moving image?
Thanks.

"iSkysoft iMedia Converter"
Never heard of it.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:

Neither iMovie nor iDVD can handle subtitles. For that you need to move up to Final Cut Express and iDVD Pro.

Can FCE HD 3.5 Import HD-AVI with MJPEG file and then export?

I am having some old 8mm film converted to HD-AVI: MJPEG in the wrapper. Will I be able to import this entire file (about 20 minutes of 1080 video) into FCE HD 3.5, make simple edits (mostly dissolves), add some background music and then export the file to a standard DVD at 640x480 and also to Blu-Ray (using Toast 9's ability to write BD files to regular or dual layer DVD disks with no loss of resolution?
Is Motion JPEG within the HD-AVI wrapper part of HDV codec? I am clueless about the zillions of formats I see all over (but FCE HD 3.5 mentions only DV and HDV and Apple Intermediare codec 1080i60 or 720p60.

Hi Tom,
Does that mean I cannot import the HD-AVI wrapper and Motion JPEG file directly into FCE HD 3.5?
The file is on a hard drive - not captured thru a FireWire Port.

Problem with .mov files exported from Quicktime working with iMovie

Since iMovie won't input .mpg files, it has been my practice to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .mpg to a .mov file and then import the .mov file into iMovie. With Quicktime 10 (no longer a Pro version), when I follow this procedure I get a .mov file that iMovie refuses to import. Why is this?

I am having the same issue. Just purchased QT7 Pro. Converted .3GP format to .mov and cannot open in iMovie. Have you found an answer?

Audio not in synch with video when mov files played in QT 7.6

When I play .mov files stored in an iPhoto 08 photo library, the audio is not in synch with the video. People's lips move and the audio comes out a second or so later. This is a relatively new problem, and I don't have the same problem when I play .avi files. A couple weeks ago, the audio and video were good and they were synchronized. The video in the .mov files is also choppy. The video plays for a few seconds, briefly pauses, and then starts again.
Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm not sure this is the issue. The video files were never in iMovie. Only imported into the iPhoto libaray from my Kodak M1033 camera. A few weeks ago, I did not have an issue with .mov files playing smoothly. Perhaps there was a recent update to QT?
When I upload the .mov clips to Flickr (www.flickr.com) or YouTube, they play just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Video Captions: .srt file?

Slide video can have captions, but it looks like they must be manually added row by row.
Does anyone know if video captions can be accessed through an .srt file? That's a standard format for subtitles.
Thanks,
Christine

To my knowledge there is no compatibility with .srt files in Captivate. It allows Closed Captioning subtitles to be added to a slide by inserting Slide Notes, selecting Closed Captioning, and then timing the lines of text in the CC to coincide with the words in the voiceover. I've always found this to work quite well.

Quicktime upgrade stopped avi files playing.

Hi everyone.
Having upgraded to Quicktime 7.1.2, I've noticed certain types of AVI files have stopped working - as in, Quicktime "quits unexpectedly".
Has anyone else experienced this or managed to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi, shropshire_massiv.
Are these AVI files that previously opened in QuickTime or new AVI files?
AVI files are strange animals. It is a "container" format, but the actual CODECs used for the audio and video can vary widely and a file still be considered AVI. When QuickTime cannot play an AVI file, it is usually because of one of the CODECs in which the audio or video is encoded is not one supported by QuickTime.
For complete information about viewing AVIs and DivX files on Mac OS X, including converting such to QuickTime, see my "Playing AVIs and DivX Files" FAQ.
Good luck!
