How To Watch .AVI Files

I Was wondering how to get quicktime to read .avi files or if there is any programs out there to use on macs to watch .avi files.
I am not doing anything illegal either, i bought a disc from my local cd store that has music videos on them in .avi format.
Anyone please help?

Try DivX.

At the bottom, click download Divx. That will take you here:

Look for the Mac version.
Download it.
It can work miracles. Though there are still some AVI files you won't be able to read. AVI is only a container. Many variations exist within. Some Windoze produced avi's continue to elude me. I do my best trying to keep up and only know a little. But I know DivX works well.

Michelle ~ That's Apple's app security system called Gatekeeper — you can read about it here:

Gatekeeper was introduced in Mac OS X (10.7.5) but your products list indicates you're using Mac OS X (10.6.4). So... Click on the  menu at top left of your screen and choose About This Mac. Then under OS X, note the version in the form 10.n.n and then see this ASC tutorial:

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 I can watch *.avi files on OS9.2.2?

Can anybody tell me, how I can watch *.avi files on OS9.2.2? I've installed plenty of codecs (DivX, 3ivx) for QuickTime, but have only video WITHOUT sound! Somebody says, that I need AC3... I've tryed install it too, but without result...
My system: OS 9.2.2, QuickTime Pro v.6
iMac G3 (OS X), Pismo with OS9

Take a look at the DivX Doctor 2 info on the 3ivx site. It has some info on AC3 audio, although I am not sure if it applies to OS 9.

How to export/watch .avi files using Quicktime Pro

Hi there.
I've got Quicktime Pro and I'm trying to convert .avi files so I can play them on my iPhone. I open up the .avi file in Quicktime and then slect the Movie to iPhone option.
It will take about 20 mins or so, but when I open the file all I get is a white screen even though the timer is showing that the movie is playing.
I can't even watch .avi files using Quicktime as all I get is a black screen.
Could someone please help?
Thanks

Thanks, but unfortuntately that didnt work. MPEG Streamclip couldn't play any of the .avi files, it still came up with a white screen while playing.
I tried this with a number of .avi files but I had the same problem.

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.

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.
