How to watch .avi movie with Divx codec?

is there any option for Mac other than using Divx player?

Hi, C.T.B.

Megaview 561 - how to watch avi files with DC3 audio?

I have a Megaview 561. I love it. I wish MSI supported it with updates!!!!!
Anyway, my problem is watching (or rather, listening) to movies I am trying to watch which use DC3 audio instead of MP3 audio. I know I can re-encode the whole movie, but that takes forever.
Anyone know what the solution is? Any way to get something like AC3Filter to work on a MegaView? Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

most firmware requests that people make, such as the one at the start of this topic, are simply impractical due to copyright and licensing issues
its not a case of MSI not being able to issue firmware updates as and when; if the current firmware code works, then why fix it? i'd feel much more confident buying a product that had no firmware upgrades than one that had loads to fix silly little issues.
there are so many diffferent video and audio codecs out there that to provide support for them all would be near impossible, if not illegal without the relevant license
Hi and thanks for the relevant response. As I stated, I'm happy with the MSI Megaview. And yes, the firmware code works. But clearly there is room for improvement as a movie with a DC3 soundtrack will not have audio. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder if the lack of audio is a silly little issue or a major annoyance. It's not the end of the world...after all, it's just a movie . I guess I was hoping that there may be some way that I could modify something so that these movies will have sound (without having to reencode the entire movie); that perhaps there is a workaround that would not involve a firmware or software update / upgrade from MSI. For example, with Windows, you simply download and install the codecs or something like AC3 Filter or AC3 Decoder. Do you know of any such workaround?
I judge from your response that installing or updating codecs is not possible to do on the Megaview 561?
Thanks again for the help. Cheers

How to play AVI movies with Qtime?

I have some .avi movies and was prompted(by QTime) to go to 3rd party download site to find an "add on" for adapting it to work. Non avi players / codecs / anything on the website. Please suggest alternatives. thx.

AVI files play perfectly using QuickTime Player on all three of my Macs. Either you didn't install Perian correctly, or you have some faulty QuickTime software, or you have one particular AVI file that is corrupt. Try another AVI file. What is the message you get from QuickTime when you use QT to open the file?
Also, my VLC (you have written VLI, but surely you have VLC???) plays AVI files perfectly... well, as perfectly as VLC can.

HT3042 how to watch dvd movie with bluetooth

I want to watch a DVD movie on my macbook air using the dvd drive on another macbook pro. How do I do this?

You can't do it over Bluetooth - it isn't fast enough at all. Plus if you were close enough to have Bluetooth access then you might as well just watch it on the MacBook Pro.
How to share a drive is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287 but it doesn't work with DVD movies because they are protected.
So you can't do what you want to do.

How to watch .avi movies on apple tv 2 gen

Hi there.
Just bought an Apple tv gen2 day before yesterday. Here are my question(s)
1. I am trying to stream .avi format thru my itunes. I was able to stream .mp4( i think) on the apple tv. How can i stream avi format?
2. I also have an Ipad 1gen. Everybody keeps talking about mirroring it so that whatever I do on Ipad I can see it on my TV. How do i do that. Sounds really cool.
Thank you
Evo_flask

The way I do it is to use a program/app called Air Video: http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/index.html
The program will stream .avi files to the app on the iPhone or iPad and then from there you can AirPlay the movie to the AppleTV. The app costs A$2.99 and the server is free. You need iOS 5 for it work. You can still use your Phone for other things though I haven't tried a phone call.
You can't mirror the iPad 1st gen display but you can use the component cable to plug the iPad directly to the tv and play the movie from Air Video through that rather than AirPlay

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow

Watching .avi files with quicktime? Help

Hi all,
I have a bunch of .avi movie files I want to watch, but when I try to open them with quicktime, I'm told I may need additional components to watch them. I'm taken to a screen with a bunch of vendors offering Quicktime components, but I have no idea which one(s) I need.
Can anyone tell me what I need to download for quicktime, or what other application I can use to watch .avi movie files?
Thanks!
Dave

bluegecko,
if you like MPlayer, you might also like VLC-a similar player, also open source and free, that plays a lot of formats. (it is also cross platform) http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html (be sure to get the Intel, not PPC version)
Personally, I'm hoping the new Perian or Niceplayer evolve into supporting more formats, as I prefer using Quicktime or Niceplayer's interface to MPlayer or VLC.

How to import .avi movies to ipad

hey can anyone please tell me how to omport .avi movies to ipad

AVI is a file container, not a codec type.
This is the only AVI type supported: 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
For all other AVI's containing other codecs, you will have to download a third party player-anyplayerhd, avplayerhd, cinexplayer, etc.
Look in the app store.

Best way to watch a movie with stereo headpho

What is the best experience I can get from watching a movie using standard stereo headphones. I realize I need to test with my ears but I ask because I might need to buy cables. I have the X-fi Platinum with the console. I use a standalone dvd player to watch on my tv. The sound is currently sent to my stereo where I use headphones and was thinking of sending the sound to my X-fi and using the headphones there. Should I use a digital connection for 5. from the dvd player to the X-fi?. Will cmss utilize true 5. signals or will the signal just be wasted. Does cmss only upmix stereo signals?Basically, can I get a decent surround experience while watching a movie with a surround soundtrack on stereo headphones and what is the best way to set that up. My cheap Coby?standalone ?player decodes Dolby and DTS if that matters?Thank youTrenzMessage Edited by trenz on 0-4-20070:53 PM

Hi
both ways would work, and I'm not sure which one to recomend.
Importing image by image wouldn't be so hard, and could give
you the advantage of being able to even ad interactivity like
moving layers or fading them and and and...
Making a flv and a slider is maybe a bit easier (btw i made a
sample some days ago I could provide you with if needs be), but not
as flexible.
Filesize will be an issue, and I guess the flv is bettr in
that respect, but compression might damage the quality, wich might
also be of importance.
Importing all as pngs with trancparencie might lead to other
issues, as discuessed here in a recent thread about pngs (the
number of png that can be stacked one over an other is limeted but
it seems the information about numbers is inconasistent,one of the
programmers of flashplayer talked about 24...)so there might be an
issue there.
But I think ist's a great idea, and it is doable in either
way, maybe it's wise to make sone test with - say 10 layers and
decide then which way to go for the rest.

How to watch .avi video in iphone?

Hi I use win Vista and I just bought a new iphone. Everything works well. Only one question is : how to watch .avi video in iphone. I download a lot of video in that format but cannot add them into intunes, therefore cannot sync into iphone. I search the web and know the problem is quickplayer doesn't support this video format. Is there any solution to tranform .avi video format to any format which quickplayer support?
Another question is : I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.) How can I sync those films into itunes then sync into my iphone, so I can enjoy it at lunch time at work.
Thanks for you help in advance.

The iPhone cannot play AVI videos. You'll need to convert them before you can load and play them on your iPhone. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "video convert", you'll find a lot of threads on this subject already.
I bought some TV show DVD ( like Grey's anatomy, House, etc.)
Sorry, but DVDs are copy-protected and cannot legally be converted. It's a violation of the Discussions terms of use to talk about such ripping.

Was watching a movie with AirPlay mirroring on apple tv from iMac. Got a Skype call. Turned off AirPlay on atv and on iMac. Could not hear my Skype caller until I unplugged the atv. What else could I have done?

Was watching a movie with AirPlay mirroring on atv from iMac.   Got a Skype call. Could not hear caller until I unplugged atv. Turned off AirPlay on both atv and iMac. Could not hear Skype caller until I turned off atv. What else could I have done?

I checked and found that the router did not have the latest firmware.   It does now.   The issue is still there.   I did a little research and found that the model number of my Apple TV (MC572LL/A) shows that it is a 2G version which uses the A4 chip.   The latest version uses the A5 chip and is 1080 capable. Both are supposed to be capable of using type "N" routers.   I don't think that should be an issue but I wonder if later updates may have introduced some issues in the 2G version.
I am going to try changing the "N" channel also- just to see if that makes any difference. The istumbler app does not show any "N" networks in my area so it is defaulting to 149.   I will note that even 1 foot away from the router I only get 75-85% for signal.   I would expect it to be 100% since it is so close.   I am also seeing noise go up from typically 13% to 21% when it is on channel 3 and that close.       I will play change locations and channels and see if there is any improvement.
