  • I cannot play the avi video file on my macbook!!! Need help please

    hi there
    i have a macbook and it plays other avi video file but i recently downloaded this video off of utorrent and when i play on it, it says quicktime couldnt recognize this video and suggests me and takes me to another link. I have already downloaded Perian, what else can i do about it? I need some help, thank you.

    See if VLC will work (it should)....

    ....go to the developers web site and check all the file formats that it will run.....

  • HT3775 Isn't Quicktime the most annoying media player? Seriously, more than 1000 dlls in each of my two macs and neither of them can play my avi videos with this, so frustrated... Am I the only one?

    The thing is, I cant play my avi videos in Quicktime because it ask me for some codec, not saying which one in specific... I have a Macbook air mid 2011 and a macbook pro and same issue, I'm using better VLC to play videos, but why the native apple software cant play my content which, by the way, windows 7 devices plays without issues. Maybe this question is not enough to open a new post, but somehow we need to make noise, is not possible that we left apple being so unrespectful with us after all the money we expend in their products... What do you think?

    AVI was invented by Microsoft over twenty years ago. They abandoned it in favor of more modern WMP formats.
    As you've found out not all AVI's work the same way on different OS's or devices. VLC can play many more formats (out of the box) than the standard QuickTime Player but a bit of searching will lead you to components that assit QuickTime.

  • HT3209 Cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?

    I have a AMD 6 core @ 2.8 GHz, 16 GB of RAM and a Geforce GT 640 with HDCP support, but still cannot play 1080p HD videos from iTunes. Anyone got any ideas?
    According to the hardware requirements, my system well exceeds them, but no joy!

    UPDATE:  I backed up my phone, wiped it (Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings), & then restored it through iTunes.  For whatever reason, that seems to have fixed the problem.  Movies now sync to my phone like they used to.
    That process seems to have corrected 1 or 2 other minor issues, including one where iTunes was 'syncing artwork' for a long time on every sync.

  • Cannot play MPEG-4 video... help please.

    Hi. I'm running OSX 10.4.10, and QT 7.2, yet I cannot play mpeg-4 video files. I get an error message that reads "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    .>; Last I read though, isn't mpeg-4 supported by the current versions of QT? Am I doing something wrong?

    Microsoft didn't follow the industries standards and QuickTime has trouble with some of those files. Even though the extension may say .mp4 it could contain Microsoft codecs which would require third party software help.

  • Cannot play you tube videos on macbook air why?

    cannot play you tbe videos on mac book air why?

    Make sure you have the most up to date version of Flash installed.  Safari doesnt come with Flash installed when new, as Apple wants you to download the most up to date version of it from Adobe.

  • Safari cannot play certain flash videos

    After the latest update safari cannot play some flash videos, it can be a youtube video as well...
    There's a hungarian site that has videos and my safari cannot play any of them. The site is www.indavideo.hu . On a MacBook Air the Outlook cannot open new mail and a Microsoft community site said that it is a problem caused by safari... What?
    I've tried to delete flash, reinstall it, delete Java, reinstall it, but Java works fine.
    I think I should reinstall Safari, but I don't want to reinstall the whole computer...
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks,
    Csaba

    For Flash issues, try this ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
    If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
    Opt out here >  YouTube
    Keep in mind, Outlook is a Microsoft product, not Apple and therefore, you may experience problems. However, you may be able to setup your Outlook account in the Mac Mail app.
    Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click File >  Add Account
    That way you won't have to use Safari (web based email) to access your Outlook acocunt.

  • Cannot play Adobe TV videos

    Windows Vista Home Premium
    AMD Turion X2 64-bit
    Default browser Google Chrome (don't know how to find bit).
    Also run IE when necessary
    Plug-in list includes 2 Shockwave Flash, both version 10,1,82,76
       gcswf32.dll (Chrome's built-in version) and NPSWF32.dll (for other browsers, I guess)
       List also includes Shockwave for Director (something to do with Netscape)
    All plug-ins enabled.
    Video drivers up to date
    Hardware acceleration disabled
    PROBLEM: Cannot play Adobe TV videos that have the little square with what looks like 2 little c's inside.  The dots in the black square spin for about 1 second, then freeze.  YouTube videos play just fine.  I have tried several combinations of enabled/disabled plug-ins, with restarts in between, giving the computer time to adjust.
    If this cannot be fixed, is there a way to download the videos and watch them some other way?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

    In Safari, open your Preferences, go to Advanced and check the "Show Develop menu in the menu bar"
    This will add a new menu at the top.
    Go to the Develop menu, User Agent and select a different choice which allows Safari to spoof different browsers, OSs and devices.
    Selecting Safari for iPad usually works.
    However, the choice is page specific. it doesn't stick if you go to another page, you need to repeat the procedure again.

  • Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but why not the picture?

    Why when I try to play an avi video on my iMac the sound works but not the picture? I need codecs but xvid doesn't support Macs.
    Maybe I should figure out if and how to use torrents and forget about using QuickTime.

    Try VLC, can play almost any format known to man...

    Or you can install the Perian extension to Quicktime to allow for Xvid playback.....

  • I can't play MPEG4.avi video  - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch"

    I can't play MPEG4.avi, or any other, video  - all I get is "The video player has stopped working. Please relaunch".  Please tell me what to do.

    I took the video in 2009.  I can't remember the camera model I took it with and the other information you request does not show up in the "i" panel in iPhoto.
    My version of iPhoto 11 is 9.2.3.

  • Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

    I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

    You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

  • How to play a AVI video file in Nokia 5230

    Hi, Can anybody please tell me the procedure how to play a avi file in Nokia 5230.Thx in advance.

    5230 can't play .avi files out of the box you need to install application like smartmovie player or core player to play it. These two, unfortunately, aren't free. A work around is to convert .avi files to .mp4 format using a video converter like Super by erightsoft(google for it).
