Can't make an AVI file

I'm trying to create an AVI file for someone, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I currently have it encoded in a MOV wrapper, and when I run it through MPEG Streamclip, it comes out with no audio, or, depending on the settings, QT complains that needs more codecs. I try to play it in Windows XP, and WMP can't handle it either.
So I tried Any Video Converter for Windows, and same types of problems: no video, or no audio, no either.
What's the simplest way to make an AVI file? I've tried encoding in MPEG4, h.264, ripping from the DVD with Handbrake and then converting with MPEG Streamclip, but nothing seems to work.

After doing a couple of quick tests ...
Taking a personal DVD that I built to my hard drive, and use specifically for tests like this, I loaded a small clip in MPEG Streamclip, then went to File > Export AVI.
From the drop menu at the top of the exporter window, I selected the Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC codec. Then Set the Quality to 100%, then exported. This first export had no playable audio in the AVI. So I looked at the Exporter window again, and checked the audio settings. By default, it selects MP3 audio, which apparently doesn't work, so I selected "Uncompressed" from the Sound drop menu, and tried the export again ... success. I now have a playable AVI with Video and Audio.

  • How can I add an AVI file to iMovie?

    I have iMovie '11. It won't let me add a .AVI file. If I can't add a .AVI file what is the best FREE software to convert it and what should I convert it to? Thanks!

    I agree with the Streamclip suggestion for two reasons.
    The first is that it is free and works well.
    The second is that Streamclip is so essential that if one doesn't have it on one's computer, one is missing a very fascinating piece of software. Free, converts faster than anything Apple uses, and gives you a little window to see the conversion to make sure everything is going ok.

  • How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

    How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
    Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
    I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console.  Is this possible?
    Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
        <target name="launch">
            <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
                <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
            </exec>
        </target>
    Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

    For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

  • Can I write a AVI file adding images (BufferedImages) of one in one?

    Hi!! I show some point clouds in Java3D, then I get the BufferedImages of each scene, but I want to make a AVI file of the following way:
    1)I make (ans I show it) a scene 3D.
    2)I get a BufferedImage of this scene.
    3)I use a JMF processor to add this bufferedImage to the file .AVI.
    4) I return to the step 1).
    Regards!

    If you were using OSX 10.7 then you could go back to a previous version, but you have overwritten the file.

  • How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello
    How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello Jan,
    You can limit the size of system log.
    The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the
    following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches
    the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new
    System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the
    System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the
    max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,
    they are no longer retrievable.
    rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>
    rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>
    rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000
    rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ
    rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO
    rslg/max_diskspace/central
    Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm
    for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central
    But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

  • How can i make Distiller autoname file ( when exprting from other application?)

    hello everyone,
    i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
    we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.
    in the preferencesd i unchecked ( ask for PDF .. ) but the problem is that all files saved were overwritten because distiller was imporing the file name from Laser Fich!
    how can I make distiller ( autoname files like 0001 0002 0003 and so on) ?
    forgot to tell you that i am using acrobat version 5 ( and windows xp + laser fiche at work )
    thanks in advance

    thanks Bill@VT -
    it didn't work
    I opened the properiteis of the distiller and uncheck the ( prompt for the PDF file name) so that the distiller can save files automatically . it did but by overwriting the files because the original files in the LASER FICHE have same names so the distiller saved one file only by overwriting ....that's why i want to make distiller to name files when saving them ( the distiller are imorting the files from Laser fiche only but i want it to autoname them )
    i also opened distiller properites and unchecked the ( ask to replace existing PDF filename ) the distiller was always asking me to replace file ! and I can't do it this way because I have more than 100.000 docuents!
    sorry , I know this is a very difficult question
    but I would very happy if you can help me

  • Can't import uncompressed AVI files in CS6 Premiere Pro

    Hi!
    I'm using Adobe CS6 Premiere Pro on Windows 7 Pro (64bit) but can't import uncompressed AVI files.

  • My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How can we make a .DLL file..???

    Hi,
    can any one tell me how can we make a .dll file..
    can we insert any font file (.ttf), image, icons in in the dll file to call them progrmatically in forms 6i...and use them onu where
    like i am currently using d2kwut60.dll file to call mouse cursors that loaded into it..
    I would appreciate any response to this issue..??
    regards,

    Ok,
    Let me take this example.
    Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
    When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
    Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
    What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
    Hope it makse sense.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • Why can't iTunes play avi. files?

    I have videos that are in avi format, can iTunes convert them into something it can play?

    The previous answer was very misleading. It implies that iTunes can't be made to play AVI files. That is not true. If QuickTime can be made to play AVI then so can iTunes and FrontRow. The following open source component is free, and a piece of cake to install (as shown in the hand-holding video on its site). See "perian.org".
    Installing perian will immediately make QuickTime player and FrontRow be able to play AVI files. Stick your .avi files inside your "Movies" folder so you can navigate to them in FrontRow (without having to trick iTunes into importing them).
    To import into iTunes, one more trick is needed since itunes doesn't recognize .avi files...they need to have a special sort of alias file created for each. Apple provides the free developer program MakeRefMovie which does that. (The program is all over the web if you don't really want to sign up for free developer status...google "download MakeRefMovie")

  • How can I read several avi files in single DVD with FRONT ROW?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to make Front Row read several movie files in a single DVD?
    I burned 6/7 avi files in each DVD, but Front Row can't even read the DVD itself!
    Thanks!

    Hi Imcaet
    It sounds as though you have made a Data DVD rather than a Movie DVD. Front Row can only read Movie DVDs. All Data must be in iTunes, or in on of the directories it looks in, such as "Movies" in your home directory.
    If you need to combine the movies, you will need something like QuickTime Pro 7, which can be purchased from the Apple website. You need to Select All the movie you wish to Append, Copy, go to the End of the movie you wish to Append to, and Paste. You can then save/export the movie in full.
