I cant play some avi movies i need codec

i cant playe my avi movie because i need codec for my quick timer what codec do i need or maybe ther are missing

Quicktime 7 can play AVIs, but Quicktime X cannot. You could download Quicktime 7, get VLC, or convert your AVI to a Quicktime-supported format like m4a using http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/

Can't play some .AVI files

Hello everyone. I'm sure this problem has been posted before. I did a quick search and wasn't able to find what I needed. I'm not able to play some .AVI movies. I can't exactly figure out why I can watch some but not others. It happens with some internet .AVIs and personal .AVI videos. But as soon as I run Windows on bootcamp then I'm able to play all of those videos
I do have .AVI checked in Quicktime and I have also downloaded VLC and Perian. Anyone have the same problem as me?

I finally found the solution. The EnSharpen codec resolved the problem. All of those videos I couldn't watch with Perian, VLC, and Flip4Mac I can now watch. Here's the link to their website: http://www.techsmith.com/codecs/ensharpen/default.asp

Can I play an avi movie in a Java applet?

Yes, I know about the existence of Google, but I got swamped by totally irrelevant hits when I tried to google it.
I simply want to know if a java applet can be used to play a avi movie on a html page? And if yes, if anyone know a site that details how to do it?

How can i play an avi movie on my mac using 10.10.3

I'm using Macbook Pro Version 10.10.3
I'm trying to play an .AVI movie I downloaded and can't get it to open. I saw a solution online named VLC, but am not sure if I should trust it. The other question is if I did use it would it interfere with normal QuickTime usage?

No, it won't.
An .avi doesn't tell the full story. .avi, .mpg, .wav, .mp3, ...etc. are just wrappers. The content is encoded with a Codec. The codec that encodes the media is the part that matters wrt whether it will play natively.
VLC will decode a multitude of codecs.

What error messages are you getting? The videos are likely created with Flash, or another plug-in, which can't be played on the iPad.

Cant play High Definition movies

My mac cant play high definition movies. Even when i open Front Row somewhere in the first minutes the screen goes black but i can hear the movie playing. if i try to open the file from another player it may play the first minutes but it will shut the program down in the middle of the movie... : (

I found on my old system, processor speed is vital to be able to play HD movies/clips.
for example, on my dual 1.42/2gb/128mb video card, I could not play HD content over 720p.
If I tried to play 1080 clips, both processors would peg, I would hear the audio, but the video was either stop motion, or, like yours, blank.
720 worked fine.

Why cant i play some avi files an other avi files work ?

where can i get the codecs to watch avi files ? i can watch some avi files but not all why is that ?

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

500GB StorE TV not playing some AVI files

Hoping someone can help please!
I recently purchased a StorE TV 500GB here in South Africa.
The device works perfectly on AV and HDMI, am very happy with it. Except some AVI files which I have that I can play on my PC/Laptop do not play on the StorE TV through either the HDMI or the AV connection?
I am assuming that the AVI files do not fit the specifications of the StorE? If I converted them to MP4, what are the best settings, dimensions, encoding format etc I should use? I will be using a program called Handbbrake.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am from SA too, and also recently bought one 500gb .
I assume you didnt read the manual, cos it says it only supports certain files and with a Max Resolution of 720 x 576 !!
I think alot of ppl only check the file name and forget about the supported resolution.
so if any avi / mp4 files have a higher resolution it wont play. so try setting Handbbrake to recode with that resolution.
I have tried this with my recode software and it then works.
( and no it doesnt play .mkv files , so you'll need to convert any of these too )
Regards

How do I play an AVI movie from my mac to my tv?

OK; I got a flatscreen + Apple TV. Got a movie on my laptop which I want to watch. But I am only 10.6.8 for good reason.
Is it a simple matter of watching it and mirroring it to the flatscreen? It looked simple, but took hours to do, well, I don't know what, but there was a thermometer so it must have been important work. Appeared to be copying it to Apple TV but I'm not sure of that.
I got to the point of seeing a black screen with a timeline across the bottom... but the spooled portion of that timeline never really moved and so the progress indicator never moved.
So, I gave up and put the movie on another laptop with later system. 10.8.5. It has a Mirroring popup in the displays control panel with looked much simpler. But it couldn't play an AVI file... so I downloaded the recommended plug ins... but still couldn't play it. What else can I add?

About Mirroring in OSX

Cant Play Some Songs in My iMac Downloaded From the Cloud

Hello,
Can anyone give a tip to solve this out?
I've signed up for iMatch in order to sync all my songs with the other computers at home plus my iPhone.
I was surprised that many songs are displayed in gray and they just dont play.
I ma not sure if they were purchased from iTunes or belonged to my original library downloaded from other sources.
iTunes show a message about authorize the machine, but when I try to do it, the sistem says it is already authorized.
What can I do?
Tnx.,

Michael,
Thanks for answering.
I had a lot of songs on my old iMac. Some bought at iTunes, many others imported from CDs and also a couple of old files I cant even remember their origins.
I activated iMatch and aparently it worked perfectly upgrading the files. After that, I enabled iMatch in my new iMac. Again it seemed to work, but when I began to play, some of the songs showed up with a gray cloud symbol instead of the usual black one. So, these songes dont play.
Ill try to run it again from the iMac. Maybe the connection have failled on the way...
Thanks again.
