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

The audo files do not play from websites instead ask for download. This has occured from the time I have updated Firefox 4 to Firefox 5. Why? And how can i play audio files?

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.

What QT player are you using and shat forms of compressed data does the AVI file contain?
AVI is a legacy file container type abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of development of its newer, proprietary Windows Media product. While the AVI file container is still supported by all QT players, the codecs used to encode the data contained in the file are, for the most part not supported by QT X player and may require the installation of third-party codecs for use with the QT 7 player. Basically, you have three options here:
You can use the QT 7 player with additional codecs (if available) to play the content.
You can use a third-party player like VLC or NicePlayer with built-in codec support to player the files.
Or you can use an app like HandBrake to convert the AVI files to MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC files compatible with all current QT/QL/IOS players.

Can´t play avi files

I used to play AVI files on my Mac and Mac Book Pro but recently anything change that I can't play the same or new AVI files. I used to play it on Power Point presentations but right now I can't play with Quick Time. I can do it with VLC and also in other new Mac Book Pro with the same OS (10.8). What happen, anybody knows?

Finally I found the problem. It was related to the DivX soft. My new .AVI files doesn't play (neither Quick Time nor embedded in Power Point presentations) because any conflict with DivX. When I uninstalling the program all my .AVI files returned to play normally.

HT3775 says it supports avi but can't play avi files.

When I try to launch at HD avi file I get error that no codec found. Will try alternate players since QT always has some issues.

Use VLC, its free and plays just about everything:

Can't Play AVI files (revisited)

I have installed both the DivX and Perian bundles and I am still get the white frame in QuickTime when I try to play an AVI file. Does anyone have any solutions on how to get AVI files to play in QuickTime?
My workflow is this... I have created uncompressed Animation codec QuickTime movies in After Effects. I then open them up in QuickTimePro and they play just fine. I then export to my client's preferred format, AVI. I've done this in the past with success, but now in QuickTime 7.6 they do not work. Even the files I exported 6 months ago that played fine at that time, now will not play, showing only the white frame. Below are the specs on each file.
My original After Effects rendered QuickTime movie is:
Inspector
Format: Animation codec, 12320 x 24, Millions
FPS: 29.97 fps
Data Size: 358.55 MB
Data Rate: 100.05 mbits/s
Duration: :30 seconds
Properties
Format: Animation
My QuickTimePro exported AVI file is:
Inspector
Format: " codec, 12320 x 24, Millions
FPS: 29.97 fps
Data Size: 762.20 MB
Data Rate: 212.68 mbits/s
Duration: :30 seconds
Properties
Format: (none listed)
I suspect the AVI codec format of " may have something to do with this issue, but what does " mean and how do I fix "

Why do you need AVI? It is an out of date container and QuickTime Pro only supports a few codecs in its exports.
762 MB's for a 30 second file? Data rate that exceeds most modern machine playback ability.
DivX and Perian are not involved in your export.
Examine the export dialog window and find out which video codec you used in your file.

Can't play .avi file by QuickTime Pro

I am a paid QuickTime Pro user. However, I can't play some .avi files. No images, no sound. It just pop up a window shows,
" Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page. Click Continue to check for the software."
Then it leads me to the following page,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=696d6463&c subtype=58564944
If any of you confront this problem? And how did you resolve it?
Thanks a lot

You need Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

Can not play avi files; please help!!

i have a imac with Mac OS X 10.4.11; i can't get sound on any avi files, if take a mov file and convert it to avi, no sound; a friend give a disc with several avi movies, but i dont hear anything.
can anybody help me please

Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

Quick Time Pro - Problem Exporting AVI files to .mov

Hi all, Here is the problem that has been plaguing me and driving me crazy. hopefully somebody can help me with this.
I use pinnacle studio 8 to create the avi file, the resulting file size is 1.02GB. Everything works fine in this file audio and video
Next I use quicktime pro to convert the file to a .mov format and compress the video down. This is where the problem starts. when I try and export the avi to a .mov, the options screen doesn't allow me to select the audio, it says its not there. I can modify all the settings for the video, but it doesn't even recognize the audio.
It has been doing this for all of my avi videos that are over a gig. It also does this when I try and export an mpeg to a .mov
also if I do go ahead and export to a .mov file, it compresses the videos down to around 5 to 7mb, where as all my videos that are exported to .mov that do have sound are roughly 20+mb
Anybody know whats going on? I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

Sounds like your AVI isn't really a two track file (audio and video) but rather a muxed MPEG-1 file.
QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats and that is why it shows no sound options during export.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can export MPEG-1 to QuickTime formats and extract the audio.

Can I play avi files in qt?

Does qt pro convert avi files to play on appletv?

Tip - start with the free MPEG Streamclip and use the export to MPEG-4 menu item, and press the iTunes button for a list of presets (including APple TV) that will make it easier to do, cost zero, and best of all will save us from answering the how question that will usually ensue when you try to use QT.
Depending on the source of the AVI, the codec and bitrate don't expect miracles in quality on a TV set.

I can't install quick time - can't find .msi file

QuickTime won't install because it can't find the .msi file - and neither can I. Have searched computer - can't locate. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. No joy. Any other suggestions?

Take a look at Install Missing Components from my troubleshooting tip and scroll down to the end of the Further Information area for a download link for QuickTime. Between the two you should be able to extract the .msi file. Or read the second box on uninstalling all Apple components, cleaning up, and then reinstalling.
