  • Playing AVI and DivX files

    I've recently bought a Mac Book and am struggling to play AVI and DivX files. What seemed so easy on my old PC now seems impossible on my Mac.
    I've looked at the past forums and tried a few past suggestions, but nothing works. I've tried downloading DivX for Mac with all the codecs, VLC Media Player, Perian and I've even tried coverting through DivX Doctor II.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I don't think this fixes your problem but it at least keeps the thread going until someone with the answer posts. The one thing you didn't mention was fip4mac. I don't know it those others cover what it does or not. If you have downloaded the file you can control click on the file and select get info. When that comes us select open with. Change what ever that is to QuickTime. Sometimes that lets you view some files. I feel your pain, the change over takes a little time. Hang in there mate, it will be worth it.

  • Cant play .avi files in Lumia

    Hi, iam using Lumia 520 and i can't play .avi files on my Lumia.... I read that .avi format is supported in 520,but iam unable ... So kindly please help me....

    Hi aadhi07,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Where did you get the .avi files and what's the error message when trying to play it? Does this happen to all .avi files or in some .avi files only?
    Upon checking, the Lumia 520 supports .avi, however it can only play a maximum of 720p.
    Cheers!

  • I can't export to DivX and XVID files

    Hi all,
    although I have installed the DivX and XVID Codecs, iMovie 08 (7.1.4) won't show me the Option to export Video with these codecs. If I choose to export with Quicktime, the only options I can choose are:
    3G, Apple TV, AVI, Bildsequenz, DV Stream, FLC, iPhone, iPod, MPEG4, QuickTime Film, AIFF, AU, Wave
    I also cannot import a XVID avi file to iMovie, although the Quicktime Player plays it allright. Did I understand anything wrong or should both work? What's going wrong?
    My preferred workflow would be:
    1.) Import AVCHD Files from my Panasonic HDC SD5 Camera in HD Quality
    2.) Cut it with iMovie 08
    3.) Export the new Video to either a DivX or XVid HD avi-File.
    What can I do to get this working? I am using Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Macbook 2,4 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM.

    iMovie '08 can import the AVCHD-Files from my camcorder, but cannot export the result in Xvid or DivX?
    Yes it does.
    I want to have the possibility to do a little more editing than I could do in QuickTime Pro. So what would be the suggested workflow for me without buying other software? Something like this?
    What you can do is:
    1) let iMovie '08 import the AVCHD to a an iMovie '08 Event Folder,
    2) open the iMovie '08 Event Folder AIC/AIFF files in iMovie HD,
    3) edit in iMovie HD,
    4) and export the edited iMovie HD project as XviD or DivX.
    Any editing done in iMovie '08 is done "by reference" and does not exist as a physical rendered file until or unless you output your iMovie '08 project by sharing or exporting. To do so is to simply go from one intermediate file to another which I assume is what you want to avoid. If you want to avoid this, simply open the AIC/AIFF file directly in iMovie HD as an HD project (AIC/AIFF files import as AIC/AIFF).

  • Quicktime 7 Pro is unable to play or convert DIVX, or XVID video

    Hello,
    I have bought the Quicktime 7 Pro, to convert DIVX, or XVID video, to my IPOD video, but it is not working.
    The Quicktime player can not recognise the video format, so the screen is blank when I want to play the video, and I have no sound (Quicktime recognises the audio format !).
    When I convert the video to my IPOD video, I have the same behaviour.
    Is it normal that Quicktime Pro works this way ? I can view the video with others player.
    I have already checked if I have the latest version, for my video and sound driver, and it is.
    If anyone can help me to understand thank you.
    Cordially,
    2fleurs

    QuickTimeKirk is correct. If you cannot open or decode a particular movie, such movie cannot be exported with QuickTime Pro in the first place. DivX QT codec, which comes with DivX Converter, is required to decode and export DivX movies. Likewise, if you cannot open a multimedia file with QuickTime, it cannot be used with iTunes or Final Cut Pro, either, unless you change the default player. As for XviD, this gentleman offers a free QT codec. However, to my knowledge, QuickTime is able to decode XviD video without an additional component. But this codec is for Macs. So 2fleurs cannot use it, I guess.

  • Re: cant play avi movies

    were you able to find the solution for playing avi files? even i am facin the same problem. Could you mail me how the problem got fixed at [email protected]
    Thank you.

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • IMac with intel chip cant play avi file

    I've got some .avi files that I want to watch, but when quicktime launches i just get a blank screen with no sound. The timer bar is going like it is playing, but I get nothing.
    The files are avi, but when I checked the encoding, I saw they are xvid.
    Any suggestions?

  • Cant play avi files on osx 10.6.8, quicktime 10.0 (128)

    I have a little RC plane that makes AVI files, and my mac wont play them. They play fine on my laptop and my work mac.
    quicktime, perian, flip for mac are all installed. The only thing that plays them is VLC player V2.0.
    any idea what is out of date that is preventing me from playing them?
    running osx10.6.8 and quicktime 10.0
    thanks

    Try it with Quicktime Player 7.
    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

  • I cant play audio only mp4 or mp3 file with audio tag in firefox...how to tackle this?

    In my web application m trying to play audio only mpeg 4 or mp3 files.I m using HTML5 <audio> tag to accomplish this,it smoothly working in chrome but not in firefox.Why this basic support not avail in Firefox??
    Note: I read about some patent issues with mp4 and mp3 but i wonder why chrome browser can play those files.

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Cant play rm (realmedia) and streaming link files ...

    I recently when i put an rm format file on my phone it said something about it trying to play the file partially and just plays the audio but not the video. I also tried putting the BBC News 24 live streaming file on my N95 today, once it said "tryin to play partially" and the rest of the time it says "unable to connect". Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks
    Jamie

    Real player is awful and very picky about what sort of real files it will actually play.

  • Quicktime no sound and or no video when i play AVI's since OS X no plugins work need help please

    Since the update to the new OS x i cant play AVI movies in Quicktime X and the old Quicktime sometimes they play but no sound other times they dont play at all !! before OS update i had no problems at all ? Had a long chat to apple support but they cant find the right plug ins so i need to get help here ! i have Perian but its not helping at all !

    The preceding VLC link is a sound video player choice too.

  • 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.

  • QuickTime plays .avi DivX sound, black blank window

    Hiya!
    I've got issues...
    Before my Quicktime worked fine with all video file formats.
    Suddenly, it stopped playing certain files correctly.
    I got the latest DivX and Xvid codecs, as well as well as
    that Perian software. Still, When I try to play certain DivX
    .avi files, Quicktime will play sound, but no picture - just
    a black blank window. Instead, DivX player 2.0 for macintosh
    works fine.
    I'd still like to use Quicktime. What should I get / do?
    Thanks in advance!
    VM.

    Perian asks you to get rid of similar codecs. Try moving out the codecs except Perian and try again.

  • Playing AVI File In Quicktime

    Ok, here is my problem. I used to have Windows XP on my computer with Quicktime installed. I also had the DivX Suite (including the DivX codec) installed. I had no trouble playing *.avi files in Quicktime. However, now I have upgraded to Vista, I have done the same thing, installed Quicktime as well as the DivX Suite, but every time that I attempt to play *.avi files in Quicktime (I have tried several different files) I continue to get the error message that "Additional software is required for Quicktime to play back this media. It may be available from the Quicktime Components page." and it shows me that I need to download DivX. I have tried uninstalling DivX and downloading a fresh copy and installing. Same thing with Quicktime, but no luck. I have also tried installing the Xvid applications and still nothing. Does anyone have a guess at what it could be and is there something else that I need to do?

    I have a question for you instead of any help. I have XP with Quicktime installed. Both DivX and Xvid are installed and I can't get it to play .avi files with Quicktime. All it does is plays about a half second of audio then nothing. It used to pop up the additional software message, not sure if that is still the case. Media Player plays them no problem, but I personally can't stand WMP or any other Microsoft product for that matter. Is there some hidden setting that I need to adjust to make it work? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.
