I can't run .avi files with OS 10.8

Why I don't see .avi files with OS 10.8? Usually I could run .avi files in my iMAC o Mac Book Pro but after I turned to OS 10.7 or 10.8 it was not possible anymore. Some older avi files use to run in Power Point presentations but not the new ones. Anytime that I try appear a sign that refer to there is no valid codec to run the clip.
Thank you.

can anyone help? am running osx 10.9 on macbook
QT X v10.3 only plays JPEG/PCM AVI files natively. Either use QT 7 player (with system configured for appropriate codecs), use a third-party player like VLC (with its own built-in codec support), or convert the files to compression formats like H.264/AAC, MPEG4/AAC, or ProRes/LPCM which are natively supported by the QT X v10.3 player.

  • Can't run .jar file with JavaSE

    Hello.
    I'm trying to run a .jar file with JavaSE Binary, just like I did with Windows. I Ctrl+Rclick and pick "Open with..." and there is no such option. I've been searching the whole day for a solution, I kept getting "Open Java Preferences... put on top of the list" and things like that. There is no "Java Preferences" in the Utilities folder, and nothing related to my problem in "Java Control Panel" in System Preferences. Yes, I have Java 7. I just need to run this file with Java. How?
    Thanks in advance.

    Max. allowed size of .jar file is 1MB.

  • Premiere CS5 import avi clips without sound. How can I import avi clips with sound without convert?

    Dear Adobe Forum,
    I have the following problem, please help:
    I would like to import avi clips in adobe premiere. All clips have the same avi codec. But unfortunately my adobe premiere does not import the sound of a few
    avi clips. It is wired because about 10 out 70 avi clips which have all the same avi codec does not work with sound in premiere CS5. In the timline premiere import the video and audio line but there are no audio waves in the about 10 avi clips. additonally premiere plays the 10 avi clips in the source monitor without sound. Furthermore when I open the 10 avi files without adobe premiere they have sound, but with premiere there are no sound in the 10 avi clips.
    What can I do, so that I can import all avi files with sound. I do not want to convert each of the avi files because then they have not a good quality and it is to complicated and it takes to much time to convert all files in this video project and in the other video project in my future.
    Consequently How can I import all avi files so that they have immediately sound? Do I have to change some premiere settings?
    Thank you in advance

    Consequently, as you can see, they have both nearly the same information
    Both video clips have the following audio codec:
    AAC
    In the folder where all raw video clips exist there are a few new files with the codec ending: .AVD ("the name of the file".AVD)
    But the 2 video clips mentioned above does not have any files like .AVD oder something else like that. But the first one works and the second one doesnt work.

  • Can Premiere Pro CC handle AVI files with multiple audio streams?

    I have an AVI file with two audio streams and I am wondering if there's any way to access the second stream in PP? So far I can only get the first stream to play. I know I can extract the second stream in for instance VirtualDub, but it would be nice to not have to do that in the interest of an effective workflow.

    Hello again Jim! Thank you for your reply, you seem to be working hard here on the forums! The info I have found from 2011 suggested that it wasn't possible then, but I was hoping maybe they added this feature.

  • Can't open avi files in quicktime 7.5

    When I try to open avi files with quicktime .5 i am told that Quicktime needs soe extra files and am taken to the quicktime page on appl.com What files do i need? Any suggestions welcome!

    'AVI' is a container which can house a variety of codecs.
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from (you may need a different site for the US):
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    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/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

    I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

    Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
    you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
    Here's the list.
    Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
    then VLC, - http://videolan.org
    DivX - http://divx.com - and the
    Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
    A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
    This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
    These are codecs you should see.
    In System/Library/QuickTime
         AppleIntermediateCodec.component
         AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
         DivX Decoder.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
         Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
    In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
         AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
         Perian.component
    For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
    Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
    By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
    It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
    .avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
    Good luck!

  • Import DV AVI Files with 5.1 Audio

    To my surprise, Encore would not import DV AVI files from Premiere with 5.1 Audio. I much prefer to do my transcoding in Encore rather than in Premiere so I don't have to guess how much disk space will remain after menus and other content. Also, I think Encore transcoding is more efficient than Premiere.
    Yet, cheaper and less sophisticated applications such as Nerovision will import DV AVI files with 5.1 audio, and give you 5.1 DVD's.
    Which leads to another question, why does a cheaper application just give you the Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, while a fee has to be paid to Surcode to get it in the Adobe applications?

    You cannot create a 5.1 Dolby Digital file in Encore, so the answer is an emphatic "YES" to the planning & budgeting.
    You really should be doing this anyway, as it is a real eye opener. There are some superb Excel spreadsheet bit budgeting tools, as well as a simple enough manual method. It should be detailed in the FAQ.
    As far as DTS goes, you'll need an encoder again. The only plugin version I am aware of is for Steinberg's Nuendo & Cubase systems, but both DTS and SurCode make them.
    The SurCode DTS-DVD encoder is dated now - 5 years or so - and the Nuendo one sounds better. Having said that, the DTS-PSE sounds even better, as well as having DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 capability (both of which are DVD Legal).
    Even better are the soon-to-be-released DTS-HD SAS & MAS encoders.
    These are primarily for the Blue-ish type discs, but also cater for so-called "legacy" encoding as well, and the detail is even better than the DTS-PSE version. You can hear the difference in the detail where the top end sounds more natural & open. Whatever version you get will make Dobly Dirgital sound dull & muddy by comparison.
    Quality can be improved by feeding the encoder with 24 bit audio too - this also applies to Dolby Digital.
    Bitrates for DTS are either 754 kb/sec or 1509 kb/sec, and come in 2 flavours:
    Compact (.cpt) and Padded (.dts) - either can use the lower bitrate, and there is no difference in audio quality between the CPT and DTS flavours. I recommend using the higher bitrate personally.
    Both types are supported in Passthrough mode in Encore - that is to say they import, and multiplex correctly but cannot be previewed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't import .AVI files in QuickTime Player

    Hi there - Okay,,I'm a real Noob,,but I can't understand why I can't import .AVI files when apparently I should be able to. I have just purchased a Toshiba Camelio S20 and have taken some test movie shots and when I've tried to open them in iMovie or just open them in finder I get the following message
    'The document “IMAG0002.AVI” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.'
    The Quicktime player I'm using is Version 10 and I'm working with MacOS X V 10.6.4.
    What am I doing wrong ?
    Pls help ?
    Thanx

    Heya - thank you so much - have done what you suggested and now i can import the clips into iMovie - no problem!
    But,,,,and,,golly,,don't know if I'm being really really stupid but by converting to DV or MOV I lose all audio from any of the clips that I'm importing...
    Can you help some more - sore to be pain in buttocks !! Am completely new to iMovie so am struggling a bit!!!
    Thanking you

  • How to run two files with same url-  urgent

    hi,
    i created two servlet page and both are working very fine.but at same time i only able to run one file with same url. Is possible to run two or more file at same time with same url name..
    if you r not understanding what i want to ask then, i have two file names under helloWeb directory
    1) helloWorld.java(servletname s1, url /man)
    2) helloWeb.java (servletname s2,url /man)
    to run - http://localhost:7001/helloWeb/man - it runs very first file which is added to deployment module.
    so i want to know how i can run both file with same url, for this what i have to pass on my address bar.
    plz help me i m wating
    <b></b>

    Hi,
    We can give same url mapping to both Servlets but we can access the servlet which is entered first in web.xml because whenever we send a request to the webserver then webserver look at the elements in web.xml file one by one.
    When it finds the corresponding url mapping then immediately sends the response to the client.The same url mapping for the next element will be ignored.
    I think there is no possibility to access both servlets with same url.
    Regards

  • 5.1 surround audio into Final Cut Studio out to AVI file with 5.1 surround?

    Someone wants to give me a 5.1 surround sound audio file for importing into my Final Cut Studio project, then I export my video (now with 5.1 surround) out to an AVI file with the 5.1 surround sound intact. How do I do this?
    thanks

    I also have this problem...
    Purchased an HD TV show (Nip/Tuck) and selected the alternate audio track labeled "Surround Audio" and got that digital audio "NOISE".
    Regular audio sounds fine - can play iTunes music and system sounds sound good, just can't select the alternate "Surround" audio track without getting the noise.
    I'm on an "older" MacMini - Intel CoreDuo using the SPDIF optical output into a Pioneer 5.1 receiver set to the appropriate Optical input and "Dolby Digital". I attempted to change the audio input processing on the receiver...all of which have the noise described by others...
    Would LOVE a solution to this problem...

    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.

  • Can FCP6 edit avi files?  FCE 3.5 does.

    Can FCP6 edit avi files?  FCE 3.5 does.  I have Quicktime 7.6.2.   If I go to more recent Quicktine will  Final Cut Pro6 edit avi clips?  Thanks for any help.  It's confusing because my Final Cut Express does edit avi.

    Thanks for the reply.  Yes, FCE 3.5 does handle .AVI without rendering, the same as if it was a .mov. I just tried it to make sure I wasn't imagining it.  I don't understand how you would render it in FCP before working with it.  An AVI just shows up as black frames. And once you work with it wouldn't it become surrendered? I've been using QuickTime to convert from AVI to mov.  Is that the bet way.  I'm using 1080p video.  I wonder why dcs will do AVI, but not fcp??  Thanks again.
