Install Perian and try again. Some AVIs just can't be played in Mac OS X.

  • Why cant i open an .avi file in quick time

    Why can't i open a ,avi file with quick time?

    You need Perian.
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org
    - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Also very handy:

  • How to play .avi-files in QT?

    Hi
    I just had to reinstall my OS 'cause my MacBook was behaving really badly.
    I used to be able to play .avi-files in Quicktime (I must have had the right codecs/plug ins?), but now I'm not anymore. I have the latest version of QT and have just downloaded new DivX codecs (from a link on apple.com). So now I have a new DivX-player. But what do I have to do to make the .avi-files play in QT?
    And also, how do I play wma-files in QT?
    Thank you

  • How do i save an audio file using quick time?

    How do i save a audio file from quick time. When I looked it up I was told to go to file on quick time and click on save as but my quick time has no save as to click on in file. What Now?

    You need to explin your workflow better.
    The "Save" action may be initiated by a "Share" or "Export" option depending on the app you are using. For instance, QT 7 Pro has "Save", "Save As...", "Share...", "Export...", and "Export for Web..." options depending on what you are specificly trying to do. On the other hand, QT X may have "Duplicate", "Export...", Export To", and/or "Share" options for various goals.
    Are you trying to record a new audio file using a mic, extract and save an audio track from a video, export audio from a video file, save an internet audio file that opened in the QT player, save an online audio file, etc?

  • How to play avi files in quicktime

    I am transferring all my files to my mac from pc. How do I enable quicktime 7 pro to play my avi files???

    As you are not only switching from pc to mac, but also intel, a couple of suggestions from one intel mac user to another:
    1) Download the DivX for intel beta here:
    http://labs.divx.com/node/76
    Installing should allow your QT player to function well with most codecs that you commonly find which use the .avi container - it's helped me quite a bit.
    2) Download and install the Flip4Mac component for Quicktime here:
    http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm
    This is an alternative for those pesky WMV files you need to play. Keep in mind that although the component installs and works on your intel mac, it is not yet optimized, so you need to run QT under rosetta in order to see the functionality of the flip4mac component. The intel mac version is on the horizon, hopefully sooner rather than later.
    3) Download iSquint or likewise another conversion app. I'm offering up iSquint for now since it is free, easy and universal. You might opt for ffmpegX, MPEG Streamclip or others, but these do not run natively on your machine at this time, and you might find them a little confusing. iSquint will read pretty much any kind of codec and container combo, and it does quick conversions to mp4/H.264 files that your QT Player will recognize...
    http://www.isquint.org/
    4) Download and install the latest build of VLC for intel mac:
    http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/
    The latest build of this player has been rocking along nicely for me on the intel machine, and VLC is a great alternative for those video files you come across that just don't want to play in other video apps.

  • How to play movie file using java tv

    hi,
    i am trying to play movie file(.mov or mpg or mp3) using java tv in linux plotform and also using jmf jar.
    problem is while running appear black screen and getting exception or errors like
    Unable to handle format: ima4, 480x320, FrameRate=25.0, Length=460800 0 extra bytes
    Thank in adv

    Well...
    I don't know how to load and play a video with JavaTV. But I've seen some posts telling that .mpg files aren't accepted by the JavaTV.
    Some people said that I had to use .avi files and these .avi files, if they were converted from a .mpg file, must had been converted with the Cinepack technology, but I don't know how to do this.
    If you find out how to load and play a video, I'd like to know, please send me an email or access my page and post there in the comments, so I can continue doing my application with a video.
