Casio AVI files

I download Casio Z750 mpgs and avi video to Iphoto frequently. Up to now, I've been able to play both back in a slideshow and in an IMovie video. Now I can't. Although individually the Casio avi video files in Iphoto work well, but not in slideshow/IMovie formats. Casio can't help...and I've tried several of your codecs on line and had to reinstall QT several times. I do have QT Pro.
Any suggestions?

Drag the original to your iTunes Library (after installing the proper codecs and components).
Use it to "Convert to iPod" (or Apple TV or iPhone presets).
The new file should now be recognized by iMovie.

No sound for AVI files with Quicktime

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to fix this problem.
I upgraded to Quicktime 7.5 and quickly found that I cannot get audio/sound out of my AVI files (most are short clips taken with my Casio Exlim Digital Camera). I tried installing Perian, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling QT, and that didn't work. I tried repairing disk permissions and that didn't work. Finally, I thought perhaps I had a bad AppleIntermediateCodec file. I downloaded version 1.0.1 from Apple, but it won't let me load it - acts like its an update to an existing file, but the file is not on my system. Here is the contents of my Library/Componets folder:

I am the admin on the system, but I have two other accounts for my sons. Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what I should do next? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.
Now, my Library/Components folder is empty. My Library/QuickTime folder has the following:

.AVI files not playing correctly on G3 iBook

With the help of JulieJulieJulie and others I am able to import my mpeg 4 video clips (they are in .avi format on my Casio Exilim EX S600 digital camera) into iPhoto and play them without any difficulty on my G5 iMac and my G4 Powerbook. This morning I imported a group of these files onto my daughter's G3 iBook running Tiger 10.4.5 and iPhoto 5. I tried using both the EX_M4S2 component as well as the Casio .avi importer to view them with the same bad result. The clip starts and then becomes badly distorted, kind of like an impressionist painting through bad glasses--all blurry and wiggly. I then tried viewing them with mpeg streamclip and they also didn't play properly--they just kept stopping. Any idea why the G3 iBook would not be able to play them properly? I have Quicktime 7.0.4 Pro running on all three Macs.

Something you might try as an experiment (if you have a FireWire cable and your iBook G3 has a FireWire port) would be to start-up your G5 in target disk mode and then boot the iBook with the option key down, select the G5's hard drive to boot from and see if playback is noticably better - the system would be running from the hard drive in the G5 which is a 3.5" (vs. the 2.5" drive in the iBook) and runs considerably faster. If playback improves then drive speed would appear to be a factor. Or the OS and QuickTime version installed on the G5 vs. that installed on the iBook since the iBook would be using the software from the G5 hard drive.)

AVI files in imovie '08

I know you can import AVI files, but iMovie does not import automatically the AVI files out iPhoto that ***** because I must copy now all my movies I already have in iPhoto. And my photocamera makes only AVI files. Anyone a solution to let the movies in iPhoto so you doesnt have to copy or import them??

Obviously, I think, the update is the culprit but I don't know how to solve it.
The same way you should always analyze AVI problems -- look at the codecs used. While it is always possible that the update may include different codec trapping routines, I doubt that they would eliminate a working combination on purpose. While I don't use AVI content on a regular basis simply because it is an outmoded container whose software developer abandoned it about a decade ago and it frequently contains compression formats which may or may not be available for the Mac, OS X, or work on a Core Duo machine, many users do. Unfortunately, they do not bother to learn about the various problems attendant with AVI use.
1) Only Some AVI content will be compatible at all. For instance, the Casio M-JPEG/DVI ADPCM files are not compatible because the audio cannot be edited in iMovie '08. On the other hand, the combination of M-JPEG/Integer from a Z40 is compatible and imports on my system under Leopard to iMovie v7.1 without problem. So you first step is to ensure that the files in question do, in fact, contain the same compression formats.
2) To do this, open the various files in the QT Player and check the "Format:" line in in the inspector window. Note if they are all the same and if not, note which ones work and which ones do not.
3) If codecs/settings are all the same, used to work but no longer do, then check for QT component conflicts as detailed in numerous other discussions in this area.
4) With regard to files previously imported "no longer render," this would sound normal if there are component conflicts present and/or a problem with thumbnails which, among other things, are likely use to "index" the original content during playback and export.
5) If all else fails, can you provide a file "snippet" for testing on an external system? This may tell us/you if the problem is general or limited to just your systems/configurations.

No Audio in AVI Files

I'm trying to put all my wife's videos from her Casio Exilim camera into one continuous video, but when I open them in Final Cut there's no audio with them. And there is no audio if I open them up in Quicktime also. We've been adding the videos over a period of a year now, and I know that they have had audio before. I can also take the video clips from my Mac and play them on my Windows computer with Windows Media Player, and the audio plays on it. So I know the audio is still there along with the video clips since it plays on my PC, but why isn't it playing in Final Cut or Quicktime? They are also AVI video clips if that helps.

Your avi files need to be converted to QuickTime in order to work with them in FCE. That may or may not be your audio problem.
You can use MPEG Streamclip, a free utility, for the conversion:
http://www.squared5.com/
Open your avi file in Streamclip and export to QuickTime with the following settings (for standard def dv in the USA):
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Frame Size: 720 x 480
Audio should be AIFF @48kHz.

No Audio on AVI Files

When I play my AVI movie files from my Casio Exilim camera on Quicktime, I can only see the video with no audio. But I can hear the audio on my PC with Windows Media player if I put them on a flash drive and transfer them to my PC. Is there a codec or something that I need to get in order to get the audio to play on Quicktime?

We are having the same trouble, which I believe started after the last software update to QuickTime.
We've been using the audio codec available through Casio to import and play the .AVI movies recorded by our Casio Exilim. This codec is called Casio AVI Importer.component and up until this time has lived in /Library/Quick Time. In order to get the movies to play in QuickTime with sound I've had to remove that component. Now the movies play in QuickTime using the Flip4Mac QuickTime plug-ins. The only issue is that Flip4Mac displays a "importing..." progress bar as it reads them, where the previous plug in was able to play them straight away.
Just for grins I also downloaded the VLC player from VideoLAN. It is a great little app that can play just about any video file you throw at it. And indeed it played the Casio .AVI movies with no proglem whatsoever.
Hopefully this is just a bug that was introduced with the latest QuickTime release and all will be well in the next update or two.
Good luck

Need help with .avi files

Hi everyone. I just got an iMac for Christmas. I've been a PC user all my life, so I'm new to some of this stuff. My question is about .avi movie clips.
I have a Casio Exilim digital camera. As soon as I set up my iMac I uploaded all data from my digital camera. I have several short movie clips in iPhoto. I can hear the audio, but I don't see video. How can I watch the videos on my new computer and use iMovie.
Thanks in advance for your help!

AVI is a container type, a container can contain any number of audio and video compression types, some of which may be editable and some not, some of which may be compatible with imovie and some not.
QT Pro (and a number of other 3rd party applications) may help you convert these files to an appropriate format. It would help if we knew what compression types are used, you can determine this by opening the movie in QT and choosing inspector from the window menu.
AVI is a very old MS proprietary format, it was even abandoned by MS over 10 years ago, unfortunately there is a small possibility AVI files can contain long forgotten compression types which there are no converters for, although since your files are from a modern camera this is quite unlikely.
Report back with the compression types and someone will help further.

Converting avi files for FCE

Hi,
I have a ton of avi files that I need to convert for editing in FCE.
My goal: to get my avi clips into FCE so they don't have to be rendered in the timeline and everytime an edit is made. I've read several posts which suggests mpeg streamclip. My avi format is: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions DVI ADPCM, Mono, 22.050 kHz FPS: 29.97, size: 640 x 480 pixels (this is the format listed when I open the clip in quicktime). My my final output of this FCE project is to view on HDTV (16:9) via dvd, so the best quality is what I would like.
My questions:
Is streamclip what I should be using?
And what settings should I use in streamclip to convert the avi files? (my guess would be: quicktime movie for the format) I've been trying different options under quicktime movie and the conversion leads to a jerky choppy video.
thank you!

I'm thinking the problem is you are missing an audio codec required for this Casio Exilim video. Your camera specs say that it records MJPEG in an AVI container with a spec for WAV audio. You also indicated that the VLC media player said it was MS audio.

Have you tried the Perian plugin for QuickTime. It adds AC3.audio support for playback of AVI files, which seems to have fixed the no-audio problem for a bunch of other people.
Yes, I have perian installed. I even tried reinstalling both to be sure.

AVI files will not play in imovie

I hardly know anything about computers... i have a camera and a laptop with imovie 08. apperently my camera takes movies in avi. format, and imovie won't import the files in... can anyone explain to me why this is and what i can do about it??????

AVI (like MOV) file containers are generic in nature. They can contain any valid combination of audio and video compression formats. Unfortunately, not all are editable in iMovie '08 and it iMovie '08 cannot edit it, the files are ignored. As always in such cases, the user should first examine a clips contents to try and determine the problem. This is most easily done by simply double-clicking the problem file in either iPhoto or the Finder to open it in the QT Player. Once opened, you can examine the audio anf vide comression formats by checking the "Inspector" window's "Format:" entry line. A common example for an AVI file might be Casio's use of M-JPEG video which is compatible with iMovie '08 and adaptive PCM (e.g., ADPCM) which is not "edit" compatible. While in this case only the audio content causes the problem and need be changed, many users elect to convert both audio and video content if they don't have QT Pro and/or are unsure how to convert/replace just the audio data. Specific work flows may depend on the codecs used to create the AVI which brings us back to why you need to determine the specific compression audio formats used.

Sound cuts out after 1 sec on .avi files in QuickTime

First, let me preface this post by saying that I have spent about a week searching through different posts in these and other forums regarding similar issues, and have yet to find a solution that works for me.
So I have been trying to play certain .avi files with QuickTime that I BELIEVE have been encoded with the XviD codec. At first, no sound played at all. After installing a bunch of different codec files, including packages such as Perian and codecs such as DivX, XviD, and AC3. I finally managed to get QuickTime to play these videos with sound for about a second, after which the sound cuts out. Also, if I rewind or skip to another point in the video, the sound will restart again for about one second and then cut out once more.
I should mention that these videos work perfectly when I play them with the DivX player. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone with similar issues? I am currently running OS X 10.7 (Lion) on a new MacBook Pro 15"

As stated on the Perian "Support" web page, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: FFusion, Xvid Delegate, 3ivX, DivX, DivX Decoder, XviD, msmpeg4v1, msmpeg4v2, AviImporter, EX_M4S2, Casio AVI Importer, AC3 Codec, and MatroskaQT." Having multiple codecs for the same compression formats can create component conflicts. Since Perian component package supports all of the named codecs, it is not necessary to have both Perian and the named codecs simultaneously installed.
In addition, Lion seems to also be prone to conflicts with third-party software apps and hardware peripheral casrds/devices. If possible, it is usually best to disconnect/close anything you can during the tests. Also, it might be a good idea to test the same files on alternative systems. (I.e., if possible, you might like to post a sample problem file to see if others can play them without problem on other platforms operating under Lion OS as a further conflict test.)

No Audio and White screen for mpeg layer 3 Avi files

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled. The files still play using VLC but I would like to use quicktime pro. PLease help!

Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.

Quicklook no longer working with AVi files in 10.7

Howdy,
Mysteries abound! Updated to 10.7, and ever since, I have been having two problems:
1. AVI files no longer open open using QuickLook; all I get is is the AVI icon, and the "Open in VLC" button.
2. The icon preview for AVI files is no longer displayed as well; only the generic VLC icon shows (and yes, I have the "Show icon preview" box cheeked in the Finder preferences).
Is anyone else having the same problem? Does anyone know how to remedy this? Thanks in advance! (^_^)

Flip4Mac (installed) and Perian (installed) provide this support. As a matter of fact, I can play AVI and WMV in Quicktime 10.2 and 7.6.6. It's the Finder or the QuickLook subsystem what has a problem.
Besides that, having those QuickTime components installed, there are no problems in a new installation from scratch in a nother disk. But I'm trying to avoid that and to restore in Mountain Lion part of the functionality of my Mac under Snow Leopard.
There should be a preference, cache, temp file or something like that that is impeding QuickTime or the Finder to access the necessary components to preview and quicklook AVI and WMV files.

Playing inserted avi files in Adobe Acrobat 9 or later

A user has inserted avi files into Adobe and it always worked up to version 8.1.
Any version later than that, the avi files will not play anymore.
Is there any way to make them play or will all his files need converted to another source?
Converting them all to a different format would be quite the task as there are many videos involved.
Thanks, Jeff

You can't edit Excel files in Adobe Acrobat.

I can't open .avi files in Photoshop CS5

I used to be able to open .avi files in Photoshop just fine, but I’ve just tried opening one again after a couple of months and I can’t. It’s just black blankness. I have no problem with .mp4 files, but unfortunately, most of the videos I'm trying to make gifs out of are in .avi format.
Is it because I've updated QuickTime? Or is it that Adobe CS no longer supports .avi files? It says here that Photoshop CS6 supports the .avi format.

Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?

dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
cfrepair utility:
http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/SiliconImaging_support.html
cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec
