Can't Play AVI movie with QT 7.1

I am unable to run this particular avi movie, Rendezvous, which I downloaded to my G5. All I get is a white background and a very intermittent/jerky sound. Also the total time of the movie gets doubled with QT Player which may account for the screwy sound.
When first launched the following notification comes up:
Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web Site. .......
The referenced site has a lot of codecs but I have no idea which one I need.
It plays just fine with VLC.
What do I need to add to QT 7.1 in order to play that particular movie? I have QT Pro 7.1 and the mpeg2 update.
G5 Dual-core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 250G HD, 22" Display, Mac OS X [10.4.6], 200/160GB FW, QT 7.0.4 Pro, Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, iVMP 3.0.2

Oddly enough, prior to downloading the video in question, I had just done a clean install of my OS, so no components were in the Quicktime Folder of my Library.
I downloaded DivX 6 from here:
http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/
Now, the only components in my Quicktime Folder (HD > Library > Quicktime) are the DivX6 Encoder and Decoder components.
I just relaunched Quicktime after the components were installed and the video plays fine in Quicktime. Using the converter is not necessary.
Here is a link showing the viddy on my computer:

    How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
    Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
    If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.

  • How to play AVI movies with Qtime?

    I have some .avi movies and was prompted(by QTime) to go to 3rd party download site to find an "add on" for adapting it to work. Non avi players / codecs / anything on the website. Please suggest alternatives. thx.

    AVI files play perfectly using QuickTime Player on all three of my Macs. Either you didn't install Perian correctly, or you have some faulty QuickTime software, or you have one particular AVI file that is corrupt. Try another AVI file. What is the message you get from QuickTime when you use QT to open the file?
    Also, my VLC (you have written VLI, but surely you have VLC???) plays AVI files perfectly... well, as perfectly as VLC can.

  • HT3775 can't play AVI MOV on QT

    i have two AVI MOVIE one plays the other not. every time the problem occurs i am brought here.

    If they were both made in the same way, the movie which won't play is corrupt. Otherwise, download the free MPEG Streamclip and install the component it says is needed to play the movie.

  • HT3775 I can't play avi movies on my mac. I don't know what to do!

    my friend gave me some regular show seasons, but i can't watch them coz they're avi and they wont let me please help!

    The file is send as audio/mpeg and that usually should be sufficient to make Firefox select a plugin that handles the file.<br />
    Probably a MIME type as application/x-mplayer2 will also work to select a WMP compatible player as most users on Windows won't have QT.
    Does QT work otherwise correctly for you when playing embedded content?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins
    Do others with a Mac also report that it isn't working?
    Is there only a problem with users on a Mac or with other platforms (Windows/Linux) as well?
    You can also try to ask advice at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum if it is your own website (hadn't released before that that could be the case).
    The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.<br />

  • How to play avi movie?

    I've just bought an iMac with OS 10.7 loaded on it and I can't play .avi movies.  So far I've only found DivX software, but it is free for 6 months and then I have to buy it.  Does anyone know a free application that would allow me to play .avi movies?

    Try Quicktime after downloading a http://perian.en.softonic.com/maclittle plug in called Perian.
    It works with me .
    You,ve tried hitting the space bar after selecting the avi file this also works with my imac
    it also plays srt files

  • Can't play a movie on DVD with QuickTime

    I can't play a movie on a DVD with QuickTime. With the player open, when I go to File and then Open, I get the two Video and Audio folders on the DVD itself! The Apple Quicktime guide says of how to play video:
    "To open a movie on your hard disk, a CD, or a DVD, do one of the following:
    1) In the Finder (or Windows Explorer), double-click the file or drag it to the QuickTime Player application icon.
    2)Choose File > Open and select the file."
    Firstly, if I double click on the DVD drive in Windows Explorer, it'll open the DVD with my default player (not Quicktime). Secondly what is the 'QuickTime Player application icon?
    Thanks, Trickyf

    Thanks QuickTimeKirk. I didn't know that about QuickTime not being able to play DVD movies. However am still interesed re the icon. Where is the icon supposed to be which I drag files to? On the desktop? There isn't an icon in the player.
    Thanks

  • Playing AVI movie files??

    Help. I have 3 Macs: G4 Flat Panel, Imac G5- which play AVI movie files just fine. Mac Mini (specs below) which does not. Been at it for hours. The two older ones are non-intel, the mini is intel, this is the only difference I can see. I have the same software and plug-ins installed; (quicktime pro, flip for mac, windows media player, divx plug-in, xvid) All of them are running 10.4.11. When I put in a movie encoded in AVI in the mini I get a prompt that says roughly 'additional software plugin might be needed', can't think of anything else to do. Any info appreciated. Thank you.

    If anyone else has this problem with an intel based mac here is link that solved my problem.

    6233 is a s40 while smart movie is a symbian application and only works on s60 devices. so you won't be able to play .avi files. it plays in 3gp format. what you need is a multimedia converter. visit the nokia development site: www.forum.nokia.com or there's software that is on your phone's cd budled with pcsuite called ulead. i just used that to convert some movies. works great, excellent quality.

  • How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

    how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

    This did solve my question.  I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works.  I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
    Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered.  I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need.  It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

  • QT not able to play .avi movies

    I bought quicktime pro about a week ago and I can't figure out how to play avi movies. A pop up shows up and says I need a third party component but non of those seem to work for me. Can someone give me a link to the third party component that is needed for playing avi movies on quicktime pro. Becuase of this, I can't convert any of my movies into mpeg-4 to put on my iPod.

    Open the non working file using QuickTime Pro.
    Open the Movie Info window and note what codecs are used in the .avi file.
    Search (I use Google) for Windows compatible video codecs and follow the instructions for how to install them on your PC.
    Note all .avi files can be opened or viewed in QT Pro. Some codecs do not export properly.
    You should test with a one minute "cut" of your .avi to make sure it can be used on your iPod.
    Better to learn from a one minute failure that to waste hours converting a file that will not work on your iPod.

  • What to do?? -What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out. Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before - This movie can be played only on displays that

    What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
    Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
    Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
    The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
    End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

    Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
    Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

  • My quicktime can't play avi file

    HI everyone does someone know why my latest quicktime can't play avi file?

    Let me tell you what are you doing wrong...
    you just followed the wrong road try this one instead and you will love it.
    *1st of all*: Dont pay attention to QuickTime, no matter what movie you want to view
    just download and install VLC Media Player and your worries about formats, video codecs, audio codecs, multi zone dvd reproduction will be over in a sec!
    just "open as" > VLC Media Player and you will see everything and if you have a subtitle file, just drag it into the movie

  • Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

    Dear Adobe Forum,
    I have the following problem, please help:
    I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
    avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
    What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
    Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
    Thank you in advance

    Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
    Both video clips have the following audio codec:
    AAC
    In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
    But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.
