Codec pack for Mac?

Hello,
My mom just got a brand new Imac. She lives about 300 miles from me, so my help to her is limited. I was there when she ordered it and to help her set it up. But now I'm home again.
I downloaded and installed codecs from Apple's Quicktime site. That fixed a few things.
I've been exposed to PCs for quite some time and have found it much easier to dload a codec pack that includes everything a typical user would ever require for playback of video in Media Player. I haven't seen anything like that for Mac. Do they exist? Where could I find them?
Thank you

What's a good codec pack for Mac?

My friend recommended K-Lite Codec Pack, but it only works on PC and I have a Mac. Is there a good codec pack for Mac?

I keep running into video files that I have to figure out how to convert to something After Effects can work with. Such as .3gp from an Android phone.
That's not a "codec pack" issue, you just need a good all purpose conversion tool or two. Apple Compressor works well as do all of the other products mentioned here. Another good tool is a cheap PC with free Microsoft Encoder (or whatever they're calling it these days). You can pull in all kinds of aggressively non-Mac friendly files and output to any of several lowest common denominators.
Bringing in weird and highly compressed consumer movie files isn't as simple as converting to an editing codec (which raises the question, why are you bringing these clips into AE and not Premiere?) you also need to figure out how to do frame rate conversions, scale adjustments, and color space tweaks.

Avi codec pack for mac??

Hi,
We have recently switched over a few mac machines and are slowly getting the hang of them. After having issues playing back avi's on the machine i have downloaded the Perian codec pack for mac which allows me to play the files in quicktime etc and get audio output. I still have the problem however that when imported into Premiere/Encore etc i get video but no audio??? I dont want to have to convert all the files into compatible mac files as i just want a codec to install which will play them and solve the problem. The files are DivX codec built.
I find it odd that files will play with audio in quicktime on the machine but not in the adobe software. Tried reading around this on the web but have turned up nothing after Perian that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks Hunt,
You seem to reply to most of these posts, so thank you very much for giving up your time to help others, much appreciated.
I have both converted the files - in a rather drawn out way through a couple of freeware programs to give me an mp3 audio file macs don't seem to mind - and and burnt DVD's on mac and PC to check for quality on both machines.
We have to work with DivX a bit for clients to create conference openers etc and if they specify footage from the web etc its generally the only format we can get it in on short notice. Horrible but the way of the world it seems.
Currently running mac book pro's for on site edit machines on the highest specs available for purchase i.e. i7 processor 7200rpm internal hard drive etc and Adobe CS5 and have to say that the 'macs never fall over' hype isn't true. Apart from having their file preferences for use which is a pain when crossing projects over from both platforms i have found both new macs crash when worked hard using premiere, after effects and photoshop/illustrator. We find CS5 has far fewer bugs and is more stable than CS4 mind you.
I'm sure that may queue mac lovers to put me straight on the much fabled shiny machines however.
Cheers, Ian

Codec pack for QuickTime like Windows?

Hello,
I'm wondering why there is no any codec pack for QuickTime in Mountain Lion like windows? or why Apple just can't support .mkv files?
QuickTime really has a great quality than other players and I hope Apple or some developer make something good like windows Codec pack.. they have got always codec pack for windows but for mac never or so hard to find.
I hope apple consider this..!!!
Developer please make something like that and sure all will buy it from appstore you guys would be rich.. come on.. if it would cost 1$ you would be rich but you can make it more like 5 to 10 or more $
Best regards,
Alex

Apple's position is that H.264 is a modern highly efficient codec that is suitable for all uses (which is true enough). However a lot of files already exist in other formats. Sometimes it seems some people wilfully choose the most esoteric codec possible just to make life difficult.
The nearest you can get to a codec pack on the Mac is Perian. This adds support to QuickTime for many formats including MKV files.
You can get Perian here http://perian.org/
It might also be worth installing Flip4Mac which adds support for playing WMV files, you can get it here http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm

Universal power pack for Mac air, Mac pro and ipad

Have an 10 hour flight comming up    Would like to purchase universal power pack for Mac air Mac pro and ipad

I do not take Intergrative Nutrition, but I have some advice for choosing your device. Your choice of device should be based upon what you will use your device for currently and in the future.
     If you are just using your device to use the internet and do light activities (smal typing, etc.) then the MacBook Air is a better choice. You should note that the Air has no Superdrive(for your DVD's CD's etc.) so you will have to put out more money to get one. It can also be slow because of the Flash Memory.
     If you are going to be doing more "heavy" computing (photo editing, sound editing, lots of multitasking, large file sizes etc) then I would suggest getting the MacBook Pro.
     If you prefer tablets, or tablet style reading then the iPad will be better for you. You should keep in mind that ther are restrictions on the files that you can view or work with on the iPad.
Overall, I prefer the MacBook Pro because of its versatility, durability and capabilities to do multiple file types. If you have any more questions, feel free to drop by your local Apple Store or Apple Authorize Retailer. They will be happy to help you!

Need codec pack for h.264 to play .mp4

I bought a motor sports camera that records HD format that doesn't seem to work with any media player I have!
I quote from their website under the trouble shooting section:
"+If using Windows Media Player or Movie Maker, make sure you download the latest HD-capable version and also download a H.264 decoder to update media or movie maker. CoreCodec CoreAVC is one company that offers a codec pack for h.264.+
+VLC media player is another video media player program that you can download for free, which supports .mp4 h.264 files+"
I don't use PC, I am using my MacBook Pro and I have iTunes, iMovie, VLC, QuickTime Pro, DivX and Real Player but none can run the recorded movies.
Any help would be appreciated. And thanks in advance to all.

Thanks to nobody as I see nobody jumped in... but it turned out to be a problem with the camera itself. Shipped it back and got it replaced. And the problem disappeared.

Windows codec pack for 7D Mark ii CR2's

Hi,
For all my previous Canon camera's the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack (6.3.9721.0) was sufficient to view the CR2 files in picture viewer & explorer, a feature I enjoy very much to quickly delete blurry pictures or pictures with a bad frame.
CR2's from my new Canon 7D Mark ii don't seem supported by this codec pack yet. Any other ways to view CR2's in explorer/picture viewer?
Kind regards,
Arne

It's normally that when a brand new camera hits the market there can be a bit of a delay before 3rd party vendors support that new camera's RAW files.
I see that Adobe has support for it as does Apple. I see somewhat recent updates from them (December) that now include support for the 7D II.
But as I check the Microsoft website, I am unable find a Camera Codec pack released after 4/2014 -- which is prior to the release of the 7D II camera. That would imply that many owners of recently released camera models are in the same boat with you. You're waiting on Microsoft to release an update to have native support in Windows.
It used to be at least a 3-6 month wait for RAW support from anyone other than Canon (after release of a new model). But I've noticed in recent years that Adobe and Apple are now MUCH faster about getting the RAW support out to the public.
The work-arounds are to (a) use Adobe to convert your RAW images or (b) use the Canon utilites to convert your RAW images. Adobe would let you convert them to .DNG (Adobe's universal "digital negative" format -- their version of RAW). Using the Canon EOS Utility you can convert them to TIFF, which is 16bit and lossless (so you keep all the adjustment latitude you wanted out of a RAW image.)

Microsoft Camera Codec Pack for Windows 10?

Is there a version of Microsoft Camera Codec Pack that works in Windows 10 technical preview? I'm having problems installing the latest for Windows 8.1, more accurately it won't install whatever I do, regardless of compatibility mode.

I may have expressed myself badly. I did not had problems with this in Windows 8 and 8.1.
I am only having problems installing the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack in Windows 10 (to be more specific, Enterprise Edition, build 9926).
My best guess is the changed system numbering is behind the problem, which you pointed out right.

Finding language packs for Mac OS.

Where do i find or purchase language packs for the MacBook Pro OS 14.4.8. I have adobe CS3 and need to code a few arabic websites. I cant seem to find anything online.

Where do i find or purchase language packs for the MacBook Pro OS 14.4.8. I have adobe CS3 and need to code a few arabic websites. I cant seem to find anything online.
OS X already comes with Arabic and tons of other languages. Your problem is that the standard Adobe for Mac doesn't support this script. You need to get the special ME version of those apps (or use another app). See the Applications section of this note:

Codec pack for 5800 xpress music

how do we play films of divx format and others from our phone to the tv.. please help

for the above problem,
nokia 5800 doesnt support divx file format, as there is no application that can play these for the nokia 5800. you have to convert your video files to mp4 in order to play them on your phone, and then connect it (using cable out wire) to your tv to play it there.
the tv-out cable came with my phone in the box, it should look similar to this one below:
try downloading this free video converting tool. i use it all the time with all my vids, very sweet and easy.
click here to direct downlaod
after you add your video, choose: video presents> ipod> ipod (640x480) MPEG high quality, and then convert
should work after this because it works on my 5800

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

Any unified codec for Mac?

Hi, I used to be a PC user but now a Mac lover, however, I encountered this 'codec' problem. As you know, there are many kinds of 'codec package' for windows or lots of media players already include basic codecs by themselves. Does anybody know if there is something like 'unified codec package' that I can download? Or do I just have to find individual codec whenever it's necessary to play the movie?

If you've moved to the mac and want to leave those "codec packs" behind, convert everything to MPEG-4. Not what the PC world believes is MPEG-4, but the true .mp4/m4v/.mov variety. Get an inexpensive program like VisualHub or use the free iSquint to convert your videos to a usable standard and, as long s you're running QuickTime, you'll never need to go search for "codec packs" again.
