Certain .AVI files will not play audio using QuickTime 7.5

I have recently updated my QuickTime to QuickTime Pro 7.5. I attempted to play videos in my library and noticed that certain videos will not play the audio, but video is fine. I did not have problems with playing the videos with audio before the update.
I tried to do some research and many have suggested to install PERIAN 1.1. I have done this, but still no result. I have deleted a lot of important videos, because I assumed that they are no longer usable. I decided to keep most of them and figure out a solution. No luck so far.
Please help! Anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm not really sure what to look for in QT's Movie Inspector, but here's what it says:
Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 320 x 240, Millions
FPS: 14.99
Playing FPS: (Available while playing.)
Data Size: 11.96 MB
Data Rate: 2112.38 kbits/s
Current Time: 0:00:00:13.94
Duration: 0:00:00:47.50
Normal Size: 320 x 240 pixels
Current Size: 320 x 240 pixels (Actual)
If Pro update were not suited for Intel Mac's, should I uninstall the update? If so, how do I do this? Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks again for the reply!

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??????

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.

I found this component after doing a web search...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14633
seems to fix the problem....but I noticed the volume is kind of low when playing this avi file in QT, but when I play it in the Mplayer it sounds a lot louder. And that is with the volume sliders on both QT, and Mplayer maxed out, and using the Macs volume to judge the difference.
Anyway....
The reason I want to play it in QT is that I can use my remote to pause and rewind and fast forward...

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

Certain Video files do not play in Photoshop Elements 13

Hi Forum
I have a problem whereby certain Video files do not play in Photoshop Elements 13 Organizer. The pattern seems to be they are .MOV files. But some files of the same type do play okay? So wondering why some are okay and others not?
I have installed a trial version of Premiere Elements 13 and ALL files play fine there. I understand Premiere installs all relevant CODECS to support all video formats, so why does Elements Organizer not make use of those CODECS?
Many thanks and Kind Regards
David

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Ya, it's a very old post. This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

Why my AVI file is not playing? It says a codec component is missing. How do I correct this?

Alternatively, you can download the free iConvert App from the App Store, it can convert into .mp4 which you could then add to your iTunes library and sync to iPhone/iPad/iPod :)

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
How do I fix this?

The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and audion book and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Spoken work files will not play even after importing/converting?

I have some audio files recorded on my Android phone with the basic recording app and the files play when I press the spacebar to preview them in Mavericks. However, after importing them into iTunes using various import settings, including the podcast spoken word ones, they just will not play. When I double click on the file it looks like it is about to play, the apple icon at the top switches to what looks like a progress bar, though it is different from other tracks that do play, and then it immediately switches back to the apple icon and does not play.
Any ideas of anything I can do?
Thanks.

I've found an issue with movies when the audio is IMA format. Is that the format of your audio?

My itunes says my spoken word file will not play on my nano. Why would that be?

I downloaded a spoken word file from audible and put it in itunes. No problems with that. But when I tried to put it on my iPod nano, I got a message saying that it wouldn't move the item because the item wouldn't play on my ipod. What would be the reason for that? I've played spoken word on my nano before.

On a CD player it isn't AIFF (unless you have a very, very special CD player), it is audio CD format (as Chris CA outlines). You can start with pretty much any format sound file iTunes can read but on the audio format CD it will end up as plain old linear 16 bit uncompressed PCM which has been the audio CD standard for 30 years.
If your CDs will not play on other players then there could be a problem with your CD burn. Try the usual things such as slower burn speed and better quality CD media. It is possible your burner is out of alignment and is burning CDs only your player can then read.

ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not play audio from inserted cd

I have been experiencing an issue with iTunes on my PC. It will not play any audio from inserted discs. This includes burned discs and commercial discs. When I attempt to play the music the song will stay highlighted briefly, about 2 sec., and then it goes directly to the next song on the disc. This continues through the disc to the end. I experience the same issue when trying to import the disc.
I have tried removing the iTunes application and doing a fresh re-install, but I have the same issue.
Also, this is on a PC, and I am able to open the disc's in question and play the content fine within Media Player.
Any idea's on this would be greatly appreciated!

Using ITunes Tutorials will not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.

iTunes Tutorials iwll not play. Using windows XP. All software up to date. I know others have had the same issue, however I have not seen a solution. I appreciate any advice.

I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile. When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing. When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In". If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue. Something seems to have corrupted the new profile. I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

Audio Driver Update, Will not play audio via HDMI cable now...

I just did a driver update for the realtek audio on my Y70 touch. When I plug the HDMI cable into the receiver (TV & speakers), it will still transfer the image to the TV and reformat the screen, but now the audio will not play unless I make the room speakers the default audio instead of the laptop speakers... That is just a real PITA to keep switching the default every time I wanted to do something on the big screen with my computer. Any advice on how to fix that? Preferably without rolling back the driver that was 130MB+ of a download & install that required to restarts to apply. Thanks, Joe

I haven't had mine long but I always have to do that with my tower system. (switch playback device for sound). I played a movie on the Z70 last night and go audio without doing anything (so it is different) but the sound level was low even though I checked the outputs were set to 100% HDMI audio required I turn up the sound at the TV end a lot to hear it. I figure I am missing something but did not want to spend the time troubleshoot, rather tha watch the Netfix movie.

Airplay-connected Macbook Pro Will Not Play Audio On Apple TV

After upgrading to a Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.3), I can no longer play audio using AirPlay through my AppleTV 2. The video connection is flawless, yet when going into Sound > Output through System Preferences, I can not select AppleTV | AirPlay as an output device. Is this a hardware issue? Is there another fix available?

That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
Many thanks.
