Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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", 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

  • No audio with .avi files.

    This has just started to occur recently, probably with the latest update to QT. When I play a .avi file, the video shows up fine, but the audio is strangely absent. My computer volume isn't muted, nor is the volume on Quicktime itself. Any thoughts or explanations?

    I have had this problem for a couple of years on all of my Macs across various OS and QT versions and as yet have not resolved it.
    I have tried removing the XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha component from HDD/library/quicktime/components, as suggested by another user here but this has still not resolved it on my system.
    There is a simple work around if you simply wish to watch these movies with sound.
    Download VLC player (It's a free application) and here is the link. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
    This will play your AVI files complete with sound without any problems.
    I know it is not exactly a fix for the problem but id does offer you a solution to being able to watch your movies with sound. Hope this is of use to you.

  • Need help. VERY low audio with Tivo series 2 and Fios

    I just had Fios installed and want to use my Tivo Series 2 DVR.  However, the audio can barely be heard.  Any advice?
    Here is my setup
    1.  Motorola set top digital box with HDMI output to Television.  Everything is Excellent
    2.  Motorola set top box S video output to Tivo.  Red and white AV to Tivo audio input.
    In this setup, my standard def channels have excellent picture, but the volume is just way to low.
    I have run the Tivo setup procedures.
    When I try running Coax from the set top box to Tivo, I get NOTHING.  No audio or video.
    Is the motorola incapable of putting out enough audio via AV when HDMI is also connected?
    Help
    (please)

    Keyboards:
    The motorola is connected simultaneously to TV via the HDMI output, and to my TIVO, via S Video and AV outputs.
    When the TV source is set to HDMI, all is perfect (in fact, stunning).  Great sound.
    When I change the TV to receive S Video from the Tivo, I receive an excellent standard def picture, but audio that I have to crank up to full scale.
    I have not tried Motorola to Tivo alone, with no HDMI connection to the TV. 
    I do think your idea to use a second box (a simple SD digital converter) to hook up to the Tivo makes great sense.  If I split the feed, sending one to the HD settop box, and another to Tivo, then I get the best of both worlds.   I will get HD from the motorola, and can separately record on the Tivo. 
    I am still a bit concerned about audio volume, although the Tivo boards seem to say that Tivo works well with Fios.

  • No Audio with AVI Files from Digital Camera

    Hey, everyone. I'm having A LOT of trouble playing videos (AVI) from my Samsung L730 digital camera. Other AVI's on my computer work just fine. However, the ones from my camera will show only video.....but NO audio in Quicktime. It is the same problem in VLC as well. I've tried the "GarageBand trick", as well as the Audio MIDI setup adjustment.
    I've searched other discussions for solutions...and have had no success. I have the following codecs in my /library/quicktime folder:
    AC3Codec.component
    AC3MovieImport.component
    AppleHDVCodec.component
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    AppleProRes422.component

    I'm running Leopard and Quicktime 7.4.5. Have tried looking for codecs provided by Samsung, but have found nothing. Please help me...I'm about to pull my hair out. Haha.

    I'll add the suggestion to try any, or all, of these that might help to play them properly:
    VLC
    Perian

    The SB Li've Value is only a 4/4. speaker system card and that does not support a 5. speaker as you would not have the available jack for such connection.

  • Working with AVI files

    Is it possible? My camera renders AVI files. I can import the files fine, but they just show a blank white screen as they play. Is there anything I can do or do I need to get a different camera or software? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Hello Carskill,
    your AVI files need to be converted before it's possible to edit them in iMovie. AVI is a so-called container - within that file there can be any one of many codecs used to compress video (the same goes for Quicktime .mov files).
    Try opening the file Quicktime and looking at the Movie Info window (cmd + I). It should show what codec was used incompressing the video and according to that you'll need to choose the software for conversion.
    One tool that recognizes many AVI files is FFmpegX

    For more info on AVI files have a look at Dan Slagles Unofficial iMovie FAQ: Working with DivX and AVI files

  • Is iMovie 08 compatible with AVI files?

    I just got a Nikon D300s with the built in video and when I import the video from Finder to iMovie I don't get anything in the preview window. Am I doing something wrong or is this format not supported?
    I just upgraded to QuickTime Pro so I can save the AVI files as QuickTime files. Do you think that will solve the problem?

    AVI is a container, not a codec. It is an ancient unsupported format, but there is a lot still out there.
    Similarly, MOV is a container, not a codec.
    You need to figure out what audio and video codecs are included in the AVI container, and then if they are compatible with iMovie, putting them in an MOV container would probably be sufficient. If they are not compatible, you will need to convert them.
    If you AVI files will open in QT Pro or QT Player, click WINDOW/INSPECTOR and see what is listed next to FORMAT:. These would be the codecs.
    In general, iMovie can import DV, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Animation Codec, h.264, MPEG4, HDV, and several others. AVCHD is converted to Apple Intermediate Codec on import.
    MPEG2, for example, must be converted to one of the supported codecs before import, like Apple INtermediate Codec.

  • Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

    Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
    I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
    Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
    Thank you!!!

    Also doesn't work with Grapher (.gcx) documents (an Apple format).

  • Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

    Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

    Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

  • No longer audio on .avi files when attempting to use Elements 9

    I have compiled 20 years of videos from family videos and converted them to .avi files.  I now want to edit these files into other smaller videos to give to my children.  I have Premiere Elements 9.  When I get one of these files using PE9 there is no longer audio on them. 
    There is audio if I play them on Windows Media Player but no audio on Quicktime Player. 
    I can edit in Windows Movie Maker but not in PE9.
    The Quicktime Player states the following:
    Format: Motion JPEG Open DML, 640 x 480, millions
    Movie FPS 29.97
    Playing FPS 29.97
    Data Size 1.94 gb
    Data Rate 8.67 mbits/sec
    Normal Size 640 x 480 pixels
    Current Size 640 x 480 pixels
    I have a Dell Inspiron 530, 4.0 gb RAM, 32- Bit Windows Vista system.  Plenty of Hard Drive availability.
    I purchased PE9 because I thought it would be superior to Windows Movie Maker.  Very frustrated.

    Hi Bill,
    The .avi file is a compilation of videos from multiple cameras from over the years.  There is no 1 camera.  That is why I am confused here.

    What camera produced the MJPEG files, wrapped in the AVI container? The reason that I ask this, is because camera mfgrs. love to tweak CODEC's, and some take that tweaking to an extreme. If you have the utility disc, that came with the camera, it is probably best to install their particular version of the MJPEG CODEC. The Morgan, or the MainConcept might work OK, but having the exact version, from the camera mfgr. will get you as close, as is possible, and will save having to buy an MJPEG CODEC, that might not be perfect. Now, on that utility disc, one might have one of three possible choices: The MJPEG CODEC might be a separate installationThe MJPEG CODEC might install along with the camera's driverThe MJPEG CODEC might install with an included editing/cataloguing program (most common nowadays), and even if you do not use that utility, having the proper version of the MJPEG CODEC installed on the system, will get you as close, as is possible Good luck, and let us know if you have the utility disc for that camera. Hunt

  • Capturing audio from avi file

    I want to capture just the audio from avi file. Here is what I did. I dragged the avi into garage band and saw a separate audio and video track. I tried to import the just the audio into itunes but it would only let me import both video and audio. I decided to burn the audio to cd and then import it into itunes. This seemed to work but I would like to know if there is a better method. I figure there must be. Anybody out there tried this?

    i'm not near my GB machine to test this, but see if you can Share to Disk and make sure the Compress checkBox is not selected.
