I keep getting the message that my image files are not recognizable because of the codec.  They are

I can't save andthen retrieve my filem. I get the messag ethat the files are not in the correct codec~  They are AVI and I don't get why they are rejected.
I have worked with a laptop and a desktop, saving the files to an external hard drive so I can work within both PC systems, but I still am gettting the worng code message.
Help~

AVI is not a format in its own right. It is a container for video clips. Those clips may be one of very many formats. Follow this trouble shooting article and remember to post the GSpot screen capture here.

    Hi

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    Trash the Preference file:
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    •I only use PAL (25fps)

  • Keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version in mac os

    keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version on mac os. The version is 34.0.5 .As soon as I launch the brwswer i get the update message.

    hello dbajayo, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6.
    probably some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

    I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

    I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
    I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
    Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
    I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
    Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

  • How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from computer? I get a message that iTunes.msi file can not be found, so I can't remove it. Help

    How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from Windows XP?
    I get a message that iTunes.msi can not be found or is corrupted.
    I want to install latest version, but can't get remove older version.

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • On my MacBookPro the program iTunes comes up and my iPad sync's up and I get the message that a PDF file is not found

    A lot of times I create PDF files for my electronic designs and present them to my customers. A files under "Book" has been deleted from my computer, but still shows up as a book listed.  When I use my iBook on my iPad, the book is not there which is great, but the book (or PDF file) is still listed. When sync occurs each time the iPad sync's up a dialogue box is created stating two songs are not there and the BOOK is not found. So I highlight the book with the check box next to it and how do I remove the contents of the library for "BOOKS"?

    This problem happened once before and it was related to adjusting an image size in Photoshop Organizer. I don't use the organizer anymore but this problem has resurfaced!!!

    This has happened on two individual computers both running elements 13 printing to the same printer.
    As mentioned above, the users have taken to printing using windows print and fax viewer.

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

    Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem.  If often will.

  • Keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild

    while adding photos to library keep getting error message that iphoto has detected inconsistencies and needs to rebuild the library..how do I fix?

    By rebuilding your library.
    Back up your iPhoto library before you do that.
    If iPhoto is open, quit it.
    Hold down the Option and Command keys while you open iPhoto (click the iPhoto icon in the Dock).
    The Photo Library First Aid window opens.
    Click "Rebuild database" and click the "rebuild" button.
    If this does not solve the problem, see "option 2" in Terence Devlin's post here:
    Re: i keep getting the message iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library but after repairing it it just quits

    Are you using the lastest version of Firefox for os 10.4.11?  If you are, start using TenFourFox.  Quicktime works just fine with that browser.
