HT3775 AVI file will play on Quick Time?

I have an AVI formatted movie file that will not play on Quick Time Player.  I have all of the codecs available for the player despite the fact that AVI is natively supported format on Quick Time. Any advice?

Conversion may be the solution. You can get the video converting software here fo to convert your avi files to quicktime mov files: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/video-mate/id592736614?mt=12

    Contact the manufacturer of the motocycle system.  Many systems are not compatible with iOS devices but work fine for the simple iPods.

    Thanks! It does work in XML format. But since I would need to present the data in a spreadsheet, is there any other way I could go around it?

  • Unable to play my quick time files to other computers....

    Dear folks,
    I post again my problem. I have a quick time movie which I upload to a digital performer(music software)file, I write music based on the picture and then I bounce to quick time movie.
    The new bounced file on my desktop is playing fine (by the way I have quick time 7.5.5. pro). I transfer it to my memory stick (travel drive) and I am trying to play the file to other computers but I get only sound, not video.
    So my question is how come only audio is playing and not the video.
    I am sure my codec is set to H.264 which is the most standard codec, right?
    Please advise what to do.
    P.S. I exported the bounced file as avi (using "file" and "export" from quick time menu and I was able to play it to other computers. The quality though is not as good as quick time movie.

    I have the same problem: HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro as av QT movie will play beautifully on in the QT player on the dual Mac Pro it was created on, but when trying to play it on my flatscreen TV from a Mac mini, I get sound, but just a black screen.
    Format is Apple HD 1080i/50, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062) (no idea where these formats come from) FPS 25, nomal size and current size is 1920 x 1080. I have QT pro 7.5.5. and mpeg-2 plug-in on both macs.
    I have also tried the h.264 codec with same result. MPEG-4 codec will show video with staccato perfomance and stops, even though it plays evenly on the Mac Pro. My .movs in ordinary 4:3 plays ok, so may be it’s a HD format problem?
    Juging from other postings, there is a bug in the later QT versions, but why then is it fine on one mac and not others, with same version of QT. TV has nothing to do with it, because it plays quirky on other Mac minis also.
    Someone from Apple should comment on all these problems.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

  • HT3775 AVI files copied from PC to new iMac are not playing. Message is The document "Mural.avi" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available.  As far as I know I have the moist recent version of quicktime.  HELP!  Please.

    I cannot get the AVI files to play on my iMac.  They were copied over from the PC and I can see them but when trying to open them I get the message "The document “Mural.avi” could not be opened. A required codec isn't available."  As far as I know I have the most recent version og Qucktime.

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

  • HT3775 avi file what is the require codec

    i dont understand why the avi file will not play on quicktime

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

  • Some avi-files not playing on QuickTime Pro 7.0.4

    I tried to play a few avi-file movies using QuickTime Pro 7.0.4 on my Mac OS X 10.4.4, but unfortunately, I keep getting the message: "Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web site." After going on that site, I downloaded some of the available free software, but the problem remains. Playing the movies with a third-application like the VLC, works fine. I wish QuickTime Pro would have the same capabilities in playing avi files like other Players. Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem?
    Thanks for your support!

    Thanks for all your help guys. I guess I will remain with the VLC for playing AVI files that donnot play on the QT Player as the VLC plays almost any movie file. I came across an interesting article regarding the subject:
    QuickTime: About Playing .AVI Files
    Learn why an .AVI file may not play as expected in QuickTime Player.
    AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. The .AVI format is what is known as a container format. It specifies a way in which a file may contain audio and video data. It does not specify how that data is encoded. The encoding of audio and video data is specified in what are known as codecs. A codec (short for COmpressor/DECompressor) tells the computer how to decode the audio and video tracks that have been encoded within the .AVI file. QuickTime Player can use numerous codecs by default. You can also add additional codecs to extend QuickTime's features using plug-ins or third-party installations.
    When QuickTime opens an .AVI file, it checks to see which codecs were used to encode the audio and video tracks within it. For example, an .AVI file may contain a video track encoded in the Cinepak codec and an audio track encoded with the ALaw 2:1 codec. If both the audio and the video were compressed using a codec that QuickTime can use, the file will play normally. If the audio or video or both were created using codecs that QuickTime cannot use, you may see a message like the following:
    "QuickTime is missing the software needed to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server"
    or
    "You may experience problems playing a video track in "filename.avi" because the required compressor could not be found."
    These messages are not an indication that anything is wrong with QuickTime Player.
    Lists of audio and video codecs included with and supported by QuickTime are available from the QuickTime specifications page.
    Using QuickTime Player, you may be able to determine which codec was used to compress an audio or video track:
    QuickTime 6 and earlier
    Open the file in QuickTime Player.
    From the Movie menu, choose Get Movie Properties.
    From the left pop-up menu in the Properties window, choose Sound Track or Video Track.
    From the right pop-up menu, choose Format. The Format section shows the codec.
    QuickTime 7
    Open the file in QuickTime Player.
    From the Window menu, choose Show Movie Info. The codec is listed next to Format.
    If the .AVI file is encoded using a codec that is not included with QuickTime, you might be able to find and add that codec so QuickTime can play media encoded with it. Contact the party that publishes or distributes the codec to see if a QuickTime version is available. Many third-party QuickTime components are available on the QuickTime components page.

  • How do I know if time machine is backing up my apple mail? I need to have copies of all of my emails, so there I have a lot of mail files. I was told that if I change computers, that the mail files will all be on time machine. Is this true? Thanks, Dave

    Is there a way to verify  if time machine is backing up my apple mail?  I was told that if I change computers, that the mail files will all be on time machine and can be easily be put on a new computer using my time machine backups.  Is this true? Thanks, Dave

    Having deleted some Mail messages by mistake, I have had to recover them from TM. I can tell you that the recovery of mail messages will be done at the mailbox level. In my case it was half of the messages in a mailbox. So I recovered the complete mailbox from TM. Then I copied the messages from the recovered mailbox back into the mailbox I use in Mail. I hope that helps.
    Please be aware that TM is a backup application and not an archival application. What that means is that if your TM drive gets full, it will get rid of older files which could be mail messages to make space for newer backups. You might want to consider archiving your mail instead of using TM if you need to maintain your mail messages for extended periods of time.

  • .avi files only play sound after update

    I have a few .avi videos that used to play both audio and video before the 7.13 update yesterday, and now these .avi files only play audio, and the video is non-existant.
    I re-installed my DivX codecs, and I'm not sure what to do next.

    I am having the same problem.
    Does anybody have a resolution to this issue?
