HT3775 can't play AVI MOV on QT

i have two AVI MOVIE one plays the other not. every time the problem occurs i am brought here.

If they were both made in the same way, the movie which won't play is corrupt. Otherwise, download the free MPEG Streamclip and install the component it says is needed to play the movie.

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!
Thanks!

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.

Can't Play AVI movie with QT 7.1

I am unable to run this particular avi movie, Rendezvous, which I downloaded to my G5. All I get is a white background and a very intermittent/jerky sound. Also the total time of the movie gets doubled with QT Player which may account for the screwy sound.
When first launched the following notification comes up:
Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web Site. .......
The referenced site has a lot of codecs but I have no idea which one I need.
It plays just fine with VLC.
What do I need to add to QT 7.1 in order to play that particular movie? I have QT Pro 7.1 and the mpeg2 update.
G5 Dual-core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 250G HD, 22" Display, Mac OS X [10.4.6], 200/160GB FW, QT 7.0.4 Pro, Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, iVMP 3.0.2

Oddly enough, prior to downloading the video in question, I had just done a clean install of my OS, so no components were in the Quicktime Folder of my Library.
I downloaded DivX 6 from here:
http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/
Now, the only components in my Quicktime Folder (HD > Library > Quicktime) are the DivX6 Encoder and Decoder components.
I just relaunched Quicktime after the components were installed and the video plays fine in Quicktime. Using the converter is not necessary.
Here is a link showing the viddy on my computer:

HT3775 I can't play avi movies on my mac. I don't know what to do!

my friend gave me some regular show seasons, but i can't watch them coz they're avi and they wont let me please help!

The file is send as audio/mpeg and that usually should be sufficient to make Firefox select a plugin that handles the file.<br />
Probably a MIME type as application/x-mplayer2 will also work to select a WMP compatible player as most users on Windows won't have QT.
Does QT work otherwise correctly for you when playing embedded content?

Do others with a Mac also report that it isn't working?
Is there only a problem with users on a Mac or with other platforms (Windows/Linux) as well?
You can also try to ask advice at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum if it is your own website (hadn't released before that that could be the case).
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.<br />

How to play avi movie?

I've just bought an iMac with OS 10.7 loaded on it and I can't play .avi movies. So far I've only found DivX software, but it is free for 6 months and then I have to buy it. Does anyone know a free application that would allow me to play .avi movies?

Try Quicktime after downloading a http://perian.en.softonic.com/maclittle plug in called Perian.
It works with me .
You,ve tried hitting the space bar after selecting the avi file this also works with my imac
it also plays srt files

My quicktime can't play avi file

HI everyone does someone know why my latest quicktime can't play avi file?

Let me tell you what are you doing wrong...
you just followed the wrong road try this one instead and you will love it.
*1st of all*: Dont pay attention to QuickTime, no matter what movie you want to view
just download and install VLC Media Player and your worries about formats, video codecs, audio codecs, multi zone dvd reproduction will be over in a sec!
just "open as" > VLC Media Player and you will see everything and if you have a subtitle file, just drag it into the movie

Playing AVI movie files??

Help. I have 3 Macs: G4 Flat Panel, Imac G5- which play AVI movie files just fine. Mac Mini (specs below) which does not. Been at it for hours. The two older ones are non-intel, the mini is intel, this is the only difference I can see. I have the same software and plug-ins installed; (quicktime pro, flip for mac, windows media player, divx plug-in, xvid) All of them are running 10.4.11. When I put in a movie encoded in AVI in the mini I get a prompt that says roughly 'additional software plugin might be needed', can't think of anything else to do. Any info appreciated. Thank you.

If anyone else has this problem with an intel based mac here is link that solved my problem.

The referenced article is quite explicit. Nothing has changed since its 2010 posting. Either codecs are supported or they arenot supported. If not supported, then the proper codec(s) must be installed IF AVAILABLE to support the data in the AVI file container. In some cases, depending on which QT player app you are trying to use, the data may not be supported in the AVI file container but may be supported in an MOV, TS, MPG, or MPEG file container. Thay is why you need to follow the instructions and determine which specific compression formats were used to create the file. AVI is a "legacy" file container that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than a decade. If you do not want to determine the specific problem preventing your viewing of the file and fix it, then download a third-party player like VLC that employs its own internal FFmpeg codec support and does not rely on your Apple's system configuration for palyback or use a converter app like Handbrake that has presets that will convert the AVI file to QT compatible compression formats in QT compatible file containers and suffer some possible loss in video quality.

6233 is a s40 while smart movie is a symbian application and only works on s60 devices. so you won't be able to play .avi files. it plays in 3gp format. what you need is a multimedia converter. visit the nokia development site: www.forum.nokia.com or there's software that is on your phone's cd budled with pcsuite called ulead. i just used that to convert some movies. works great, excellent quality.
everything happens for a reason

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.

Cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4!

cannot play avi movies and bluetooth cannot detect my iPhone4! any help?

As far as the *.avi files are concerned you could download an open source app called VideoLAN: VLC. You will find that it can handle just about every audio and video format available.

QT not able to play .avi movies

I bought quicktime pro about a week ago and I can't figure out how to play avi movies. A pop up shows up and says I need a third party component but non of those seem to work for me. Can someone give me a link to the third party component that is needed for playing avi movies on quicktime pro. Becuase of this, I can't convert any of my movies into mpeg-4 to put on my iPod.

Open the non working file using QuickTime Pro.
Open the Movie Info window and note what codecs are used in the .avi file.
Search (I use Google) for Windows compatible video codecs and follow the instructions for how to install them on your PC.
Note all .avi files can be opened or viewed in QT Pro. Some codecs do not export properly.
You should test with a one minute "cut" of your .avi to make sure it can be used on your iPod.
Better to learn from a one minute failure that to waste hours converting a file that will not work on your iPod.

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. What is happening?

I just bought an HD movie on iTunes. Yesterday, I watched all but twenty minutes of it on my Dell laptop. Today, I tried to open it on the same laptop, and it told me my computer can't play HD movies, that I have to view it in SD. The error message said that my computer didn't have the capabilities, but I have several other HD movies that I have always and can still watch without issue. Just this one doesn't work. Why, and do you know how to fix this?

Apparently the display is required to be HDCP compatible to view HD movies in iTunes. My display isn't so this is my problem. I contacted Apple support and they have agreed to credit me for the HD movie and I have now downloaded the SD version.
