Can't play xvid video files on my macbook-need help with this

I have tried everything, from Perian installation, to niceplayer, divx player, vlc player, divx and xvid codecs for QT....nothing seems to work, to allow me to play xvid video files....unless I buy a converting software and spend thousands of hours converting videos in order to watch them...which is something that I am not willing to do. Anybody has a solution to this?

have you tried the MPlayerX yet?

Please I really need help with this video problem.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
loader.load(reqMovie);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,comeco);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progresso);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completo);
palco.addChild(loader);
function comeco(event:Event):void
          preloaderBar.visible = true;
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
          var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
          preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
          preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
          preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "sets.swf")
                      filme = "sets.swf";
                      carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "home.swf")
                      filme = "home.swf";
                      carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y -= 1;
function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y += 1;
function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btVivo.y -= 1;
Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
var meta:Object = new Object();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
function init(e:Event):void{
video= new Video(320, 240);
addChild(video);
video.x = 80;
video.y = 100;
nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

I just downloaded an album from itunes and 2 of the tracks will not play at all, they cut off. I need help with this??

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

Need help with this book problem...Pig game...can ANYONE help!??

I need help with the following book problem...could someone write this code for me?? Thanks!!
First design and implement a class called PairOfDice, composed of two six-sided Die objects. Using the PairOfDice class, design and implement a class to play a game called Pig. In this game, the user competes against the computer. On each turn, the current player rolls a pair of dice and accumulates points. The goal is to reach 100 points before your opponent does. If, on any turn, the player rolls a 1, all points accumulated for that round are forfeited and control of the dice moves to the other player. If the player rolls two 1s in one turn, the player loses all points accumulated thus far in the game and loses control of the dice. The player may voluntarily turn over the dice after each roll. Therefore the player must decide to either roll again (be a pig) and risk losing points, or relinquish control of the dice, possibly allowing the other player to win. Implement the computer player such that it always relinquishes the dice after accumulating 20 or more points in any given round.
I realize this is a long code, so it would be greatly appreciated to anyone who writes this one for me, or can at least give me any parts of it. I honestly have no clue how to do this because our professor is a dumbass and just expects us to know how to do this...he doesn't teach us this stuff...don't ask. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope someone helps out!! Thank you in advance to anyone who does!!!

Nasty comments? It's not a matter of not liking you, it's a matter of responding to the
"I'ts everyone else's fault but mine" attitude of your post.
If you are genuine, the program is very easy to write, so, your Professor is correct when he said you should
be able to do it. I'm still very much in the beginner category at java, and it took me only 20 mins to write
(+5 mins to design it on paper). 2 classes in one file < 100 lines. Most of the regulars here would do it in half the time / half the lines.
All of the clues are in the description, break them down into their various if / else conditions. Write it down on paper.
Have a go. Try to achieve something. Post what you've tried, no-one will laugh at you, and you will be
pleasanty surprised at the level of help you will get when you've "obviously" made some effort.
Again, have a go. If you don't like problem-solving, then you don't like programming. So, you gotta ask
yourself - "what am I doin' here?"

Can't open my video files from my camera/SD card with sound into premiere pro or any software. HELP!

I am on an OS X 10.7.5 and whenever I pug in either my Panasonic HC-V720 or the SD card I can't seem to find the private video file, I get folders like the picture bellow instead.
I have tried in a different computer running a newer version of OS X and the private file appears instead. I can't seem to get my videos up on premiere pro CS6 with the sound I only get the image/video by importing the .mts files.
Does anyone know what to do?

YYou should be asking these questions on the Adobe forums.

I need help with this zip file so that I can let Dreamweaver do what it do.

I need help. I bought a web design from a company called Envato. And file is zip, I heard that you use Abobe Illustrator to unzip the file, but I've tried that and got nothing. I've just download Dreamweaver with hopes that would work and again nothing. I NEED HELP!!!!

To unZip a folder of files, you need to use a decompression utility such as WinZip, StuffIt or 7-UP. Do you have either of those on your system? If not get one & install it now.
Open ZIP in your utility and EXTRACT all contents to your DW Local Site Folder. If you have not defined a Local Site Folder in DW yet, do that now by going to Site > New Site.

Can't play .tod video files with QuickTime X and Lion

I have a JVC Everio videocamera that generates .tod files in HD. With MacOs Leopard and QuickTime 7 I had to install the Everio component for QuickTime and it worked, so I could watch the videos in QuickTime and import them to iMovie HD. But with QuickTime X and MacOs Lion I cannot do any of those, and I cannot even install the Everio component. If I change the extension from .tod to .mpeg, QuickTime can reproduce it, but I cannot import the file either to iMovie HD or to iMovie of Lion.
Any suggestion?? I would rather prefer not to have to convert the files before importing due to time spent and to possible loss of quality.

.TOD is as you imply a JVC video format. It contains MPEG2 video and MPEG1 audio which makes it similar but not identical to what might be on a DVD.
MPEG Streamclip for Mac (free) can read .TOD files and save them to other formats, including more standard MPEG2 formats. However in this case MPEG Streamclip is still going to require the chargeable Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component. Using MPEG Streamclip to convert to say a standard .m2v and .m1a pair of files would not lose any quality as you are merely changing the container and not the video and audio, if you changed to H.264 then you would potentially lose some quality.
It is still possible to install QuickTime 7 on Lion and QuickTime 7 will work with older style QuickTime components, possible including the JVC TOD one. You need to download and install QuickTime 7 from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
This link may also be of use http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm
Note: If the JVC QuickTime component is only written for PowerPC chips it will never work on a Mac running Lion, in view of the apparent considerable age of Everio cameras this seems likely.

Can not play encoded video files

I encoded lots of .mov files in MPEG 4, 640x480, between 5-25 fps (mostly video tutorials) bitrate usuall 500 kbps.
When I want to pull over the encoded files into iTunes, they are not accepted. Also when I encode to H.264 in any fps setting, none of them play. What are the exact settings in order to get the best quality in a fairly low filesize.
(Since I view them one after, the file size is not too important-much more a clear resolution to see details)

Can't view quicktime video files, I think I need a missing codec

I am trying to view some video that is incoded as HDV 1080i60. I don't think that quicktime has this codec pre installed. It is a quicktime file. It was created on a Mac that has Final Cut Pro. It is not a Final Cut Pro File in anyway. I think it plays fine on that mac because it has Final Cut Pro and that codec from the program. The question is can I get the HDV 1080i60 codec somewhere? Does it come in quicktime pro? Can I buy it?

No.
It's part of the FCP suite and is intended to be used as an editing codec (not for playback).

Siri, sounds, video, alarm not working. Need help with backing up my iPad so I can do a factory reset....need help doing that also.

Siri,sounds,alarm, videos not working. How do I back up my iPad and how do I do a factory reset?

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Monitor(video) on emac blew up, need help with external monitor....

Hello everyone, I have an old Emac which the monitor popped and stopped working. I bought the plug and had an external older monitor working once, then I plugged in a newer monitor and now neither will work. The xternal monitor has a small blue rectangle bouncing around saying "please check pc display settings. I tried to reset the ram by restarting the Emac and holding down the command,option,p, and r buttons. This made the second restart sound, but the video still does not work. Is there another sequence to reset? Am I doomed now? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello again, yes it was the picture tube that went. the smell was awful. The machine still runs, but since I plugged the flat screen monitor into it, it will not display either monitor. It was working once with an older monitor, but now it just diplays "adjust pc display settings". I needs to view the emac so I can retrieve my files. I've also tried resetting the pram, but that did not work. What can I do? I'm stuck. Thx.
