  • How do I play avi hotmail attachment on my Ipad 3?

    How do I play avi hotmail attachment on my Ipad?

    There are some limitations on what files types iOS handles natively:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    and what file types the mail app will open:
    Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP647
    You will need to visit the app store an find a player that will handle the AVI file format, install it, and open the attchement in it from the mail app Open in function. I beleive MoliPlayer will, but I am sure there are others.

    How can I play .avi movies on my mac?

    How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
    Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
    If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.

  • How can I play .avi files, how can I play .avi files

    how can I play >avi files on Mavericks?

    This did solve my question.  I'm not happy with the actions necessary to get the avi file to play, but it works.  I was delivering a presentation with an embedded avi video file to a workplace audience and all of a sudden the transition from powerpoint is not "seamless" anymore, but it is better than not having the movie presentation.
    Mavericks is not a big improvement for me, and this is not the first cumbersome step I've encountered.  I would not recommend a leam to Mavericks unless there is something you really need.  It's not all Apple's fault, as third party app providers are not keeping their product up -to-date, but we don't have computers for the fancy OS, we have it for the apps.

    I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
    Depends on whether or not the codecs cotained in the AVI or MKV files (AVI and MKV are only file containers—not compression formats) are supported by the DivX installation or your Mac component configuration.
    Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
    The Perian package still works under Mountain Lion but some codec components may only be available via the older QT 7 player app. However, DivX codecs may or may not have conflict problems with the Perian components.
    Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
    Again, this would depend on the specific codecs used in the AVI or MKV file containers. Basically if the content is compatible with the formats supported by FFmpegX software, then they will be supported by HandBrake. As to loss of quality, the depends on the quality you start with in the source file, the specific settings used for the conversion, and the target display dimensions of your conversion. In some cases where the source data is already compressed as MPEG-4 or MPEG-4/AVC content, the data can the resaved to MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file containers withould having to transcode any data.
    Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
    Basically, any App Store application that can convert AVI or MKV files using its own internal  codec support and has a built in player module should be able to play such files. And more are available online besides those in the App Store.

  • 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.

  • How do you play MPG and WMV files on a MAC?

    I am no longer able to play MPG and WMV files on my MAC. I have Flip4MAC, which is I think what I used to use to play them (but not sure). All I know is that I used to be able to before but now they won't play. Do I need some sort of different software or has Microsoft started making these files in a way that won't allow MAC users to play them? If anyone is kind enough to help, please explain in the most basic terms as I'm not that computer literate.

    If the .mpg/.mpeg files are non-rights-protected you should be able to play them in Quicktime or iTunes. If the wmv files are non-rights-protected you should be able to use Flip4Mac. If the mpg/mpeg or wmv files are rights-protected you'll need the software or subscription that allows you to view copyrighted files.

    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 ?
