Can´t open all my AVI movies.

I have done all my AVI movies with a Canon PowerShot A70. Never had a problem, but after the last update of Leopard 10.5.2 I can´t open them. When I try it an strange thing happens.
All what is in my Desktop disappear, the menu bar, the folders and the external HDs, then, they appear again.
Please, can anybody help me?
Regards

I'm having a peculiar problem with AVI files, too. I used to use a Canon SD450. Clumsy me, I dropped it and it could not be repaired. I upgraded to the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS. It's an awesome little camera. However, a weird thing is happening with AVI files. The full file downloads, and I can see the size of the file: 10MB, 20MB, 200MB, whatever... size [in this case] really doesn't matter.
The problem is that iPhoto is only showing the movie to be 0:01 in duration. When I try to launch the file from any player (QT, Windows Media, RealPlayer, et al) it shows one frame, the screen of the player turns white for one second, and the player stops; the progress meter runs all the way across the screen.
The Mac is only seeing a snippet of the footage and can't render the rest of it. Curious, I reviewed videos i'd captured with my Canon SD450, and they still play just as they once had (no errors or read/playback issues).
As a secondary measure, I uploaded a video file from my hard drive (downloaded from the camera to the internal disc) to a hosting site. The video successfully uploaded and played just fine from the web page.
Anyone got a clue? Anyone know if Canon changed codecs in the AVI format? I can't seem to find anything on these forums about the "white screen" or "0:01 second videos," which is what i'm having a problem with. Further, I don't see anything on the Canon website about it.
I'm running the latest version of QT
PS: this same problem occurred when I uploaded AVI files from a friend's camera, the Canon SD750.

    Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
    However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
    Download the free VLC Player from here:

    Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

  • Nikon D800 can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF

    Got a Nikon D800 and can't open all RAW-files ending .NEF Most of them no problem, but some I just can't.
    "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model" Thats not wight cause I can open like 90% of my .NEF files :/
    Got latest Camera Raw (6.7)..Help please:/

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer D800 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS5.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Help: i can't open all microsoft programs

    hi
    i am a newbie... i can't open all my microsoft programs from words to entourage after a software update...
    i try reinstalling and deleting files but it won't work...
    save me!!!

    peiyi,
    Try going to your home folder/library/preferences. If you try and start a Microsoft Application and it fails then the relevant preference files should be towards the top. Drag the newer Microsoft preferences to the trash but don't delete them yet, the preferences should recreate when you launch Word again. Try and launch Word again and see what occurs. Another quick way to test is to create a new user and then launch a Microsoft App if they work fine then there probaly is a corrupt prefence in your user that's screwing it up.
    Good Luck
    Regards
    Robert

  • I can't open all the new apps I installed?

  • I can't open all apps I download on my iPad mini!!

    I Can't open all apps I download on my iPad mini pls help What should I do..

    Do you have enough free space on your iPad for it to run efficiently? With iOS 8 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    Try quitting all apps and then reset the iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Do this for all apps that appear there. Then reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • HT3523 hello, this is the error I get when I try to play a video QuickTime Player can't open "solea-antonio-walter.mov" because a required codec isn't available. Any idea what I need to do? thank you

    thank you
    QuickTime Player can't open "solea-antonio-walter.mov" because a required codec isn't available.

    Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
    Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
    PERIAN (quicktime extension)

    ... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.
