No audio for avi. file

so i downloaded this torrent file and there was video and no sound, i read the fourm disscusions for that particular file they all said it had sound and it worked. then i tried another torr. file download and there is no sound this time. inspector says
'DivX 6.0, 640 x 352, Unknown
'ms ', Stereo, 48.000 kHz'
not sure what that means i have divx and it works with that file but it doesnt have sound either. so i reinstalled divx thinking it needed an upgrade for the codec but no results. still no sound. other files in quicktime work great.
i have been reading around and it seems that the sound issue is with the upgrade to 7.5 or whatever it is.
any help is much appreciated.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!
so i booted my windows partion and ran the file it said i needed x-vid codec. so i googled it and found that there was a program that has the codec its even got a video on how to do it. its perian

its so simple its briliant

No audio for avi files in Quicktime

Hi, like many others I'm having difficulty trying to restore audio to avi videos. It seems to be a codec related problem but I'm not sure.
My Quicktime folder contains:
AC3 MovieImport.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
Perian.component
Is there another codec I need or do I need to delete one or more I already have?
Any help would be much appreciated

But then why has Quicktime played these avi video files with audio in the past? What has happened to the audio data? It's been mentioned by some that problems like this occurred after the 7.5 Quicktime update?
Frankly, I leave that up to you to find out. However, here are the logical options as I see them:
1) The inspector is not seeing any audio because there is none.
1a) If the files never played audio, then it never contained any audio in the first place.
1b) If the files previously played and currently do not, then
1b1) Either you converted or deleted the audio content (check the "Properties" window if you have QT Pro or use either the Finder "Get Info" or another application to re-check for an audio track)
1b2) Updating QT or the addition of another codec has created a component conflict and you will have to run a conflict test to discover where the problem lies. Basically, updating the QT structure or adding a new component can alter the order that the QT Player/QT applications may call components. In some cases the components may "argue" over which component should be used. In other cases, the component being called first may be in conflict with another installed component whereas the previously "first called" component did not. (I.e., see hoodstar's recent "SALVATION" revelation comment regarding the same problem.)

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps

No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps.
If i open in Premiere Pro CC any file AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps (with internal audio MP3 or AC3) i got growing out of sync from start to end of file, even while play it at internal media player of Premiere Pro CC for source file.
Using external audio files AC3 or MP3 not help.
In properties of source file i see 23.97 fps instead of 23.976 fps, and time of internal file is wrong.
If i try Clip > Modify > Interpreter Footage > custom settings to 23.976 time i see right time, but when i click "OK", custom fps saved as 23.98 fps instead of 23.976 fps and time of source goes wrong again.
So i always get bad sync such files in Premiere Pro CC while play or export them.
But in all media players, other editors, and in PluralEyes sync OK with all such files.
If i open M2TS or MP4 (H264 23.976 fps) source file, all OK, it it shows as 23.976 fps, time is right, and sync OK.
So i want to add automatic detection 23.976 fps instead of 23.97 fps for source AVI files with 23.976 fps.
Is it possible?

Yes, i know what XviD and DivX does not edit well in Premiere Pro. And because of that i create this topic "No sync with audio for input files AVI MPEG4 23.976 fps" and was hoping to get help in solving the problem, rather than stating that the problem really is.
XviD and DivX it is MPEG4.
Xvid (formerly "XviD") is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 standard, specifically MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid
I have many old useful materials in XviD and DivX formats, and have no other formats versions for that material.
XviD and DivX are very compact formats to store video at acceptable quality and it is fully compatible with all players and editors for PC except Premiere Pro.
You suggest to convert them to another format (DV) to make compatible with Premiere Pro... It is not what i want.
Let me explaine:
1) Size of files
uploaded AVI XviD 1280x720 file with very good quality have size 1.9Gb (with audio AC3 2.0). If i convert it via VirtualDub from "AVI XviD" to AVI DVCPRO HD 1280x720 (without audio) it have size 35Gb, and quality is worst than at XviD-HD, and also converting take much time.
2) Compatibility with AC3 and MP3 audio inside AVI
AVI DV / AVI DVCPRO not compatible with AC3 and MP3 audio inside, only with PCM
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV
AVI XviD and DivX can use AC3, MP3, OGG audio without any problems.
Size of 1Hour 30Min "AC3 Stereo 48kHz 16bit 384Kbps" file is 257Mb
Size of 1Hour 30Min "PCM Stereo 48kHz 16bit" file is 1030Mb
3) I have and use hardware H264 encoder card "Matrox CompressHD" for export my material
http://www.matrox.com/video/en/products/compresshd/specs/
This card works only from Adobe Premiere Pro, so i can not use it from VirtualDub or other editing software.
So i need a full compatibility Adobe Premiere Pro with all popular standard formats of input files.
Here we see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/extend.html#Supportedvideoformats
Supported video formats:
"Adobe Premiere Pro CC leads the industry with incredible, thorough native media support, meaning you can edit virtually all of the major video, image, and audio formats natively without waiting."
As most PC users knows, AVI XviD it is a very popular free video format, and would be very useful if Adobe will make normal compatibility with that format in Premiere Pro.

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.

How do I disable Quicktime for being my default player for .avi files?

When I click on a .avi file, quicktime always tells me it's unable to open it because it needs a plugin. So I use VLC media player b/c it's hassle free. When I open an avi file, I select the "always open with" option when I choose VLC. Unfortunately, I have to do that for every single avi file I put on my computer. How do I get Quicktime to stop being my default player for .avi files only? I still prefer it to be my default player, but just not .avi files.

Thanks for the link. Is this perian prefpane all I need to maximize my quicktime experience? Basically, will I never EVER see a "quicktime can't open this..." message again? Can I delete VLC media player now?
Also, what the heck is the point of the Eject button in the top right corner of the keypad. When I tried ejecting the perian "disc" that I got from opening the .dmg, it didn't work. Is that button only good for ejecting actual discs from the cd/dvd rom?

Installed 4.01, now no audio for DV files....

HD files taken with my Sony SR-HD12 are fine, but I can no longer hear any audio for any files shot in DV. Anyone else have this issue?

Installing the 4.01 update has been known to reset sequence settings.
Have a look through all your sequence settings and be sure they make sense for your project.

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.

No Thumbnails for AVI files in organizer

My AVI Video clips are not showing thumbnails in the PSE 11 Orgazizer.
Here is what I have observed as I have been troubleshooting this:
The files are MJPEG.
When I double click on it in the organizer window, I get audio, but no video.
If I open the file for edit in Premier Elements, the video thumbnail shows up in project assests and the video correctly plays in the Premier Elements editor.
If I double click on the files in Windows Explorer they open up in Quicktime Version 7.
The thumbnails for the files show in up windows explorer when I browse to the folder they are in.
I selected a file in PSE, chose 'Export to New File" and the file that I created by doing that showed a generic Quicktime icon without the thumbnail in windows explorer. When I double click on that file it correctly plays in Quicktime.
Selecting "Update Thumbnail" has no effect.
Thumnails are corrctly showing for .mov, .mpg and .mp4 file types.
Any one have any ideas what is going on with the organizer that might be causing this beavior or is this a know limitation of PSE Organizer. What is the point of having the organizer supporting video If I can't see the video without opening it in the Premier Elements Editor?
I am providing the "Systems Info" if that helps anyone.

I do not use Organizer, but instead Adobe Bridge (included with some other Adobe programs, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro), or ThumbsPlus (Cerious Software), and find that some AV formats/CODEC's just do not display thumbnails. I have had that issue with some, like MPEG-1 files, some WMV files, almost anything with DivX, or Xvid.
I have not used any MJPEG files, so cannot comment on them, but have helped others Import and edit those (never tried to work with any in Organizer, Bridge or ThumbsPlus), and in those cases, it usually boiled down to having the exact MJPEG CODEC installed. As each camera mfgr. seems intent on tweaking the MJPEG CODEC, it is normally possible to Import and edit, if THAT particular MJPEG CODEC is installed, and usually from the camera's utiltiy disc. Other times, the generic Morgan, or MainConcept MJPEG CODEC's have worked - though that seems to be less often, as Nikon, Panasonic, and others, keep tweaking.
As for the display of any problem AV files, it is usually an inability of the organizing utility to find a proper display, though in some cases, there IS a display, but the first Frame of the AV file is black, with a Dip-to-Black (in this case basically a Fade-in) Transition.
Good luck, and I wish that I had a fail-safe way to always display a thumbnail for ALL AV files, and even better, the ability to set the Poster Frame to what I wanted. So far, no organizer utility, that I have seen, can display thumbs for ALL AV formats - some will handle some AV formats/CODEC's, that others will not, but none has been perfect.

Pro cs3 not importing audio in avi files

ok it seems for some reason that my cs 3 is not importing audio in my avi files the video channel imports but no audio anyone know a reason why this is please

AVI is but a "wrapper." This ARTICLE will give you much more background, plus direct you on finding out what is inside that wrapper.
It might be as simple as a setting change, but conversion will likely be the path to take.
Good luck, and let us know what G-Spot (in the article) tells you about that/those file(s).

No sound for AVI files with Quicktime

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to fix this problem.
I upgraded to Quicktime 7.5 and quickly found that I cannot get audio/sound out of my AVI files (most are short clips taken with my Casio Exlim Digital Camera). I tried installing Perian, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling QT, and that didn't work. I tried repairing disk permissions and that didn't work. Finally, I thought perhaps I had a bad AppleIntermediateCodec file. I downloaded version 1.0.1 from Apple, but it won't let me load it - acts like its an update to an existing file, but the file is not on my system. Here is the contents of my Library/Componets folder:

DadioCruton

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.

PE 10 missing audio from *.avi files?

Hi,
New PE 10 installation. When I add a *.avi file to the timeline or sceneline, I am missing the audio tracks. Don't see the audio tracks. Even when I press the Play button above, there is only video and no audio. But in the Media section, when I select "Edit Original", the avi file plays with audio fine. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,

Codec for .avi files

Hey; this may be an easy or confusing question, unfortunately I don't have alot of time on my hands lately, but i'm looking to view an .avi file and quicktime says i need a codec to view it; i click the link, and theres several codecs, some free, some not, any idea what codec i need to view .avi files, is it free, certain site? thnx, [email protected]

Microsoft, the inventor of the Audio Video Interleave format, no longer supports any of its uses.
They write proprietary codecs for all of their software including most video formats.
They've written their own version of codecs for the MPEG-4 format which also don't conform to the industry standards.
AVI is a "bucket". You can fill a bucket with water, dirt or strawberries. But it's still just a bucket.
Shame on Microsoft for even using the phrase AVI in any of its software.
Apple invented the .mov container and still supports its use. It is also just a bucket as is its .mp4 file extension.
At least .dv still means something that users can understand. And DivX is a bucket that wants to be a file extension. At least they know the difference.

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.

No Audio in AVI Files

I'm trying to put all my wife's videos from her Casio Exilim camera into one continuous video, but when I open them in Final Cut there's no audio with them. And there is no audio if I open them up in Quicktime also. We've been adding the videos over a period of a year now, and I know that they have had audio before. I can also take the video clips from my Mac and play them on my Windows computer with Windows Media Player, and the audio plays on it. So I know the audio is still there along with the video clips since it plays on my PC, but why isn't it playing in Final Cut or Quicktime? They are also AVI video clips if that helps.

Your avi files need to be converted to QuickTime in order to work with them in FCE. That may or may not be your audio problem.
You can use MPEG Streamclip, a free utility, for the conversion:
http://www.squared5.com/
Open your avi file in Streamclip and export to QuickTime with the following settings (for standard def dv in the USA):
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Frame Size: 720 x 480
Audio should be AIFF @48kHz.

Encore adds random static (Popping and Crackling) to audio from AVI files

We spend the whole day today trying to debug this problem... any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have a large conversion project where we are capturing VHS videos and converting them to DVD.
For those that require chapters, we are using Encore CS4.
All of the videos were captured the same way, in an AVI format.
We have found that when we load them into an Encore CS4 timeline, we will hear random static sounds -- pops in the audio.
We believe the AVI file is clean. We can watch the video in Windows Media Player, and the audio is fine. We can burn the AVI file to a DVD video using another low-end package (Power Director) and the DVD is fine. The AVI files have been run on other systems, and the audio crackling sound does not present itself.
But when we try to use Encore, some of the files exhibit the crackling sound. (Note that not all of the files have this problem. But those that do exhibit the problems will exhibit them every time.)
We tried loading them into Premier -- same thing.
So, this problem seems to be limited to Adobe tools.
We are running Windows 7 on an Intel i7, ATI Radeon card... a really fast, strong, stable system.
At this point we're not sure what to try...
We have attempted to pre-encode them using Adobe Media Encoder. Same results, regardless of which audio settings we try.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
