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

    You can also use VLC

    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.

  • How do I get quicktime 10 to play avi files

    Bought a macbook pro a few months back, and it doesn't seem to play avi files. How can I fix this.

    Install Perian. If that doesn't work, you probably can't play those specific AVIs on a Mac.
    Neither the QuickTime Player nor MPEG Streamclip can convert a file that it can't play.

  • 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.

  • 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/

  • 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.

  • Quicktime can´t play .mov files

    Iphoto doesn´t recognize movies from iphone (.mov files)
    When I attach my iphone to import movies I made with my iphone 4 into iphoto, Iphoto tell´s me it can´t read the format (.mov files).
    Quicktime cannot play .mov files either. I reinstalles ILife´11, that didn´t help. Importing the files into imovie doesn´t work either, because imovie always crashes. I can´t drag and drop the movies from my iphone via iphoto to my desktop - does anyone know how to do that?
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Been to the Genius Bar, but they couldn´t help.

    In case anyone has the same problem, this was my solution:
    1. install Quicktime 7 from your old snow leopard CD, don´t download from the internet
    2. then follow the instructions that Neutronjon gave in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3211124?start=0&tstart=0, if you have the same error message
    I have had this problem for a year now, tried all sorts of things, and this finally worked!

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Quicktime can't play avi or mpg files!?!?!

    Hello all,
    quicktime is telling me it cannot open files with avi and mpg. I tried to open a movie clip i was downloading and it gave me that message. When I try to do the same in windows partition I can but with windows media player, haven't tried quicktime for windows....what gives??

    Howdy, there are at least two Quicktime add ons that most Mac users download to watch videos on the web. One is flip4mac and the other is Perian.org. Check those out. If that doesn't fix it post back.
