Cannot play avi?

I've got the next problem; When I make a nice movie with Flas and export it as a usuall AVI file, I cannot play it with JMF and keep getting the following error;
Unable to handle format: IV41, 800x600, FrameRate=20.0, Length=1080000 0 extra bytes
Failed to realize: com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@b02efa
Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.PlaybackEngine@b02efa
Could not realize media player
The correct JAR files are all in place. Does somebody know what I'm doing wrong? The AVI has got no sound and is quite small.

You may be able to get the audio to play by using this freeware but no guarantees:

If the Doctor can't fix it you may want to open one of these videos in QT and then use the MovieInfo window to reveal the compression methods used for audio and video. Post those and perhaps someone will have more info on how to get the audio decompressor.

Leopard cannot play .avi files (MJPG format)

After installing Leopard, I cannot play .avi files (MJPG format) using Quicktime. These files work without a hitch on my other Mac that has Tiger. I've tried Perian.org, DIVX, VLN player, Windows media player, WMV player etc. Something went awry after installing Leopard.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Re-install the Flip4Mac QuickTime Component then open System Preferences/Flip4Mac, click the Player Tab and check the "Open AVI files" box. Restart your browser and try again.

My MacBook cannot play avi and rmvb format movies

My MacBook cannot play avi nor rmvb format movies, when i checked up in apple.com, i found a supporting software called XiVD( cannot remember the spelling), after following the instructions of it, i can watch movies in avi, but not rmvb, and the movie wasn't played with sound, can anyone help?

rmvb is a Real Media file (Real Media Variable Bitrate)
So you will need Real Player or a mac version of Real Alternative

Is the Real Player from this link applicable to Mac as well ?
Can a Mac play rmvb files ?
Or you meant to say, Real Player cannot play in Mac & that Mac needs Real Alternative to play rmvb files ?
Thanks

Cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4!

cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4! any help?

As far as the *.avi files are concerned you could download an open source app called VideoLAN: VLC. You will find that it can handle just about every audio and video format available.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks I cannot play .AVI files in Aperture

Hi, I have about 1 Tera of .AVI videos as referenced files to Aperture libraries that I have spent long time organizing, tagging, and keywording... Since I upgraded to Mavericks I cannot play these videos any longer. I can play them with VLC or DivX but not within Aperture. Is there any way to ask Aperture to use VLC to play the videos? Or to get Quicktime to play them within Aperture? I assume I am not the only one with this problem but haven't found any way to solve it.
Thanks a lot for any hint!

Hi, I have about 1 Tera of .AVI videos as referenced files to Aperture libraries that I have spent long time organizing, tagging, and keywording..
It is probably not a question of avi or mov. AVI is just a container for media with a variaty of codecs. It will depend on the codecs you installed, if Aperture will be able to show these.
What is your Aperture version? Have you upgraded to Aperture 3.5.1? My Aperture version has no problems to show my AVIs. I installed Perian 1.2.3 to have more codecs.

Quicktime version 7.1.3 for Mac cannot play AVI file

The AVI file actually "plays" as in, the bar moves, but there is just a white screen, and no sound. I have checked the movie info and it shows that the format is ", 640 x 360, Thousands MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz". I have totally no idea what that means, and why the file cannot play. It plays perfectly well on a Windows computer which shows that the file is not corrupted.
I have also followed the suggestion made in one of the earlier discussions and downloaded Perian. However, when I clicked on the "AppleIntermediateCodec.component" file, I only got a message that says "Error Opening Movie: The movie cannot be opened." So, Perian seems to be another dead-end for me.
Incidentally, I have also tried playing the AVI file with Windows Media Player for Mac. The message is that the file format is invalid.
Any suggestions as to how I can coax my Mac to play the AVI file?

The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.

I cannot play .avi movies in iMovie - any advice?

Hi, I cannot play or import any of my .avi movies from my camera to imovie. I can play them in iPhoto and using Quicktime, is there any way I can edit them using iMovie? My digital camera only records in .avi. Can anyone help

I cannot play or import any of my .avi movies from my camera to imovie.
Your audio and/or video compression format on these files is not import/edit compatible with iMovie '08. onvert it as needed. Casio digital cameras, for instance, produce an AVI file container with MJPEG video which is compatible with iMovie '08 and a DVI ADPCM audio track which is not.
I can play them in iPhoto and using Quicktime,
Files can be "playback" only compatible with QT applications, "conversion" compatible (i.e. they play and convert but cannot be edited), or "fully" compatible -- i.e., they playback, convert, and can be edited in their "native" compression format.
is there any way I can edit them using iMovie?
AVI files can be edited in iMovie '08 as long as the offending track(s) can be converted properly to a compatible format.

I cannot play AVI after upgrading to Lion

After a seamless upgrade I now find that Quicktime no longer plays AVI files. I have Flip 4 Mac and Perian installed but now neither of them seems to do the trick as they did in Snow Leopard. Any thought would be appreciated.

Maybe both Flip 4 Mac and Perian need an update

Cannot play avi videos on Quicktime

I'm having problems playing avi clips on Quicktime. Already have Perian installed?
Anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this?

If you're using Quicktime 10 to play the avi files, that may be the problem. If you don't have Quicktime 7, you can download Quicktime 7.6.6 here. Set Quicktime 7 as the default player for all avi.

IMovie"11 cannot play AVI created with Sony PlayMemoryHome

As I cannot make my Sony PCR-DC110 recognized on the Firewire port of my brand new iMac 21"5 (purchased last week, plus purchased Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter, plus purchased a 6-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable), I have captured many of my mini DV tapes on Sony Play Memory Home into a AVI file format.
1. iMovie 11 does not recognize this AVI file format, any clue ?
2. Is there a software able to convert from this AVI to an AVI understandable by iMovie ?
Thanks

Will your videos play in Quicktime 10 (the version in Mavericks)? If yes, but after automatic conversion I think you can save the converted file and this will most likely be importable into iMovie.
If not there are lots of free and paid conversion apps. I use the free MediaConverter a lot (http://media-converter.sourceforge.net)
The free app VideoSpec (http://videospec.free.fr/english/) will show you the detailed format of your videos
Its a matter of trying out various formats until you find one that works - Unfortunately I have not seen a clear list of formats that are supported by iMovie 10.

Cannot play .avi files (no image or sound)

Hi, I have the latest update for Quicktime: QuickTime™ Version 7.7 (1680.28).
When I open an .avi file in the application, only the image and sound are disabled, the rest seems to work correctly.
What should I do?
-Thank you in advance.

AVI can contain all kinds of codecs, many of which Quicktime doesn't understand. To add AVI functionality you need the free Perian codecs, or us an alternative player such as mpegstreamclip or VLC.
I'm puzzled. If the image and sound are both disabled, what is there left to play correctly?

Cannot play avi files from my samsung digimax i5

Hello y'all. I can't seem to play any of my avi files from this camera in quicktime. I have done some research and it seems I can view them on a vlc player which is fine. But how will I create movies in imovie and idvd when quicktime can't read them. It seems that there was a codec to download which I have but there is still no sound, just a picture. Can anyone help?

I cannot play .avi files althought i have perian and flip4mac!

i downloaded a movie and i cant play it with quicktime althought i have perian and flip4mac, help please

Some AVIs require codecs for audio, video, or both which aren't available on a Mac. If Perian can't handle a specific AVI, there probably isn't any Mac OS X software which will.

Cannot play .avi files from USB Flash Memory UHYB-064GH

Hi,
I have recently bought a 64gb Toshiba Flash Memory Drive (Stick). It's model UHYB-064GH.
Straight out of the box I plugged the USB drive into my Windows PC.
I'm running Windows Vista.
I tried to transfer a number of .avi video files to the device, taking up about 10gb of space.
I tried running the files (using VLC player) straight from the flash drive. Most of the files wouldn't play.
Only one did but it only played the first 8 seconds of a near 2 hour film.
The counter in the corner only showed the film to be 8 seconds long?!
However the properties section of the file confirmed it was a 1.6gb, 2 hour film...?
I transferred the same video files to a different (old) drive I have and found that it worked fine.
The drive is a FAT32 one.
I don't really know much about these things so would be grateful for any advice
Tom

Try to format the USB flash memory in NTFS format.
The FAT file format supports files up to 4GB but the NTFS format supports bigger sizes.

Cannot play AVI videos in Quicktime

Though I've downloaded a Quicktime Component(Divx Controller) for this problem, I still can't get the avi videos to play. Is there something I still need to do?

Divx when last checked at their website only supports QT for Mac's and not QT for windows.
This program may give you info on the .avi, scroll to v2.21
