HT3775 how do you extend quicktime to open avi files?

I can't open AVI files, says I'm missing a codec. Using a Macbood Pro with Retina display. Are the files just corrupt?

No; there isn't a codec installed to play those specific AVIs, and the required codec may not exist for Mac OS X. Opening them in the free MPEG Streamclip may reveal exactly what is needed.

  • HT3775 how can i extend QuickTime to support additional codecs and components.

    Hello everyone,
    how can i extend QuickTime to support additional codecs, since i have a problem opening some video files that were shot by the laptop's camera.
    Quicktime player says that the files are not recognized by the program and the program needs to extend its codecs
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, if you can find them. One such animal is Perian 1.2.3.

  • Quicktime not opening .avi files

    After I've upgraded to Lion, QuickTime stopped playing .avi movies.
    I've Perian codec installed and I've tried to disable it and both with it enabled or disabled QuickTime does not work.
    Moreover, I've another problem: after having selected the option "open this file always with VLC" the system is still not working properly since it keeps opening .avi videos with QT.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Remove Perian and restart.
    Remove FlipFor Mac and restart (you are ?).
    Install Perian and restart.
    In Perian prefs plane : "desable" Load external subtitle
    Work for me ! Good Luck.
    Latest Version 2.3.8.1 not support OSX Lion
    Intel or PowerPC G4 & G5
    Mac OS X 10.4–10.6*
                      Note: Support for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion coming soon
    QuickTime 7 or later
                    Note: QuickTime X does not support conversion using third-party plug-ins. For Snow Leopard and Lion users, , we recommend installing QuickTime 7.6.6.

  • How do you get audio with your .avi files?

    I'm trying to do a project that has some .avi files but there isn't any audio. Is there a way to get it?

    There's a free downloadable program called Streamclip (www.squared5.com/) that will let you convert the audio format to .aiff audio that can be played by iMovie. I had a clip that wouldn't play audio in iMovie, and Streamclip was able to convert it so it would play.

  • HT3775 how do you extend the QuickTime player play the videos I want to watch which have a different media format on a MacBook Pro?

    I'm tying to watch a video which is on a website to help with my revision.
    As I try to open it, it keeps coming up with a message saying the format the clip is in is something the QuickTime player doesn't understand!
    How do I overcome this so that I can watch the clip?

    Based on what you're saying I'm guessing you don't have the iDVD software. But fear not, there's an alternative to iDVD, called Burn and it's free. So downloadn and install Burn, first. Then from iMovie go to Share Menu > Export Movie... and choose Large size. Save the movie to the Desktop. You'll have a .m4v file that can then be burned to DVD using the Burn software.

  • Quicktime not opening AVI files in Lion.

    I just installed OS X Lion but when I try to open any AVI video with Quicktime that reads "The Document <filename> could not be opened. A required codec is not available." I clicked the "Tell Me More" button and I redownloaded the DIVX codec but my files still don't open with quicktime. Is it possible that my codec is not compatible with Quicktime for Lion? But then again the Quicktime application is still the same, it hasn't been updated since Snow Leopard. Is anyone else encountering this?

    divx might interfere with perian because perian already covers divx and xvid. Only one solution, not both..
    simply uninstall every 3rd party codecs you have installed and go with just one if there are more then one to choose from.
    Perian and WMV ( flip4mac ) is all I have on Lion and it plays everything, even downloaded youtube videos ( flvs ), the videos my Samsung mobile phone makes and the strange encoded avis that my sister sends me via email from her vista machine.

  • How do you make an application open on a specific monitor?

    How do you make an application open on a specific monitor? I have two monitors, and I was able to get Firefox to open on the secondary display always by resizing it with the option or command key [I forget which one] and then quitting it. Now everytime I start it, it opens on the second monitor.
    However, when I try to do the same with QuickTime [when playing videos], it always opens on the primary display no matter what I do with it. How do I make it always open on the secondary display?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no, Spaces is not what I want. I have two physical monitors, and simply want an application to always open on one monitor, not be able to switch back and forth between different desktops.

  • How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    I am updating my blog and want to put a rectangle picture into the pre-set frame. I need to stretch it horizontally but the entire frame (i.e., both sides and top/bottom) stretched instead. How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    In Inspector, select the Graphic Inspector. Choose, from the Fill options, Image Fill. Select the image from the dropdown and click Open. Now go back to Inspector and click on Scale to Fit. Choose from the options in the window. There are a number of them which should address your problem:
    With the Blog template, you will probably need to insert a text box over the stock placement frame and work with that instead.

  • How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
    have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
    to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
    How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
    "Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

    I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

  • How do you change what programs open on starting up?

    How do you change what programs open on start up?

    By changing the list of login items for your user account in System Preferences, and if Lion is automatically reopening applications, which ones are running when the computer is shut down.

  • How do you extract QuickTime favorites?

    Summary
    How do you extract QuickTime 7 Favorites?
    Narrative
    Approximately QT 7.6.1, you could readily extract Favorites in text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs; however, somewhere in the recent updates, QT started gnarling the data.
    Neither PrefEdit nor Property List Editor seem to enable you to extract the URLs in plain text format from com.apple.quictimeplayer.prefs. Neither allow you to select-copy-paste. Both separate the root URL (and binaryize it) from the sub folders and place them in different folders.

    Hi,
    As you are using Adobe Reader, extraction of pages is an option. You would require the Acrobat to this task for you
