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
DesktopVideoOut.component
DivX Decoder.component
DivX Encoder.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
FLV.component
IMXCodec.component
LiveType.component
Perian.component
XVIDDelegate
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
Streamclip

  • Can't Import large .avi file from digital camera into iPhoto 08

    I have a digital camera with a 4GB SD card. I was shooting video and have several small .avi files on the card and one large .avi file (2.67 GB) on the same card. I did not have a problem importing the small files. iPhoto hung while trying to import the large file. I read in this forum that I should use Image Capture, which I tried. When I used Image Capture on the smaller files (just to see how it worked), my camera would flash while it was transferring. When I tried Image Capture on the large file, the camera did not flash and after about 20 minutes, there didn't seem to be anything going on with the transfer. I also tried an old card reader through Image Capture, and that didn't work either. Should Image Capture be able to handle this size file? Do you know of any way to break up the large file into smaller files on the SD card? What am I missing? Thanks!

    Canon's cameras do not mount on the Desktop. It's a 'feature' of the brand.
    There are several possibilities for Image Capture - including minor directory damage on the card etc. The only solution is get the card to mount, and that means a recent Card Reader.

  • Can hear but not view .mov files from digital camera

    My daughter has a Samsung Digimax camera which takes video in MPEG-4 format (.mov). Since upgrading Quicktime, we can hear the video but not see it. The screen is black. I made sure I upgraded to the latest version of Quicktime (7.1.6). I have tried "Safe mode" as recommended in another post and I still get the audio but now the video is white. The movie info says "Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240". We were able to view all her videos with no problems before the QT upgrade.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    How big are the files? iPhoto won't import large files from your camera. As Larry says, move them to the desktop with Image Capture and import to iPhoto from there.

  • 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

  • Client Supplied AVI files from Flip Camera--Can't Edit in Premiere CS3

    A client handed me a DVD-ROM disc with video footage he shot on a Flip camera.
    The footage appears to import with no errors, but when I drag it to the timeline, I am presented with the "no" icon (O with a slash through it).
    Apparently CS3 only sees the file as audio and I can drag it there.
    VLC Media Player will play both the video AND audio portion, so I know the files are complete. It is just Premiere that can't deal with them.
    Before I tell the client I can't take the job, is there anything I overlooked that would make these Flip camera AVI files editable in Premiere CS3?

    Here is one of the ARTICLES that Harm mentions, from the PrE Tips & Tricks sub-forum.
    There is also a very recent post to this forum on using the Flip material. I think that I, Jeff and probably Harm commented in that one. You can filter your Seach by People and use any one of us. I'd start with Jeff Bellune and look for the more recent dates.
    Good luck,

  • Can I store video files (from digital camera) on my 30GB ipod?

    I'm leaving next week for holidays and I am looking for a storage device. I don't want to take my laptop with me as it is my employers. I want to be able to store video files from my Sony DSC-W30 camera. Does anyone know if the camera connection will work for this?

    Well in case anyone was wondering. It works. You can't view them but they are all there. It is an excellent way to have digital storage device on the road. It does eat into the battery charge quite a bit though. Make sure it is well charged before you import photo's and video's.

  • 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.
    Cheers

  • Working with Raw files from newer camera in CS or CS2

    I have a Canon 40d camera. I'm still using CS at home and CS2 at work.
    In order to work with these files in these earlier versions of PS, I have to first convert them to DNG files. Though not a complete drag, it is a bit time-consuming. Am I sort of stuck with this unless I upgrade to CS3?
    Also, (and I realize it may not be off topic), is there any particular reason Canon can't use the same type of RAW file for all the cameras, instead of a new RAW file type, or why have they not embraced DNG support?
    Best, David

    freedda,
    I know you have probably read this many times before. But ACR in Photoshop CS3 is vastly improved. There are numerous new controls that provide you with much greater flexibility with your raw images. Unless there are other factors preventing you from upgrading, it is my opinion that you would find the upgrade well worth the investment.

  • Need help with loading files from Sony cam!

    How can I import files from a Sony DCR-SR100 camera into FCP 6.0.1?
    Will it work with the Log&Transfer function?
    Camerainfo here:
    http://www.sony.no/view/ShowProduct.action?product=DCR-SR100E&site=odwnoNO&pageType=Overview&imageType=Main&category=SDHHard+DiskDrive

    FCP does not currently support HDD camcorders. For a more detailed explanation, check out this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4719805&#4719805
    The only solution I can think of that might (might) work is to import using iMovie 08, which claims to support certain HDD cams, and transfer into FCP.

  • Question about Imported AVI movies from Digital Cameras

    Hi
    I use a Canon "Ixus" series digital camera., the video clips on this camera are AVI (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions).,
    My problem is saving edits i do to these video clips in the in the same original format when opening them in QT, unlike photos Qt makes you save AS instead of saving modifications to the original file.
    Again, if Qt does not allow you to save the edits to the clip itself but rather asks you what you want to save it as, and i can not find the same exact QT which is "AVI" (Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions)., then what is the correct format to avoid any loss in quality?
    Can anyone advise?

    i just have to rotate these clips, they where shot sideways.
    I understand - however, video is a horizontal format; when you rotate your file 90 degrees either the 640 vertical dimension must shrink to 480 pixels which will leave black borders on each side of the image or you expand the 480 horizontal dimension of your clip to 640 pixels and you crop of the top and bottom of your image.
    Here is how to do it: How can I rotate rectangular pixel DV material 90° while maintaining the correct aspect ratio and interlacing? at http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_a_Macintosh.html#vert-horizrotate

  • Player pauses and skips with .mp4 files from video camera

    As you will tell, I'm a total novice at this video stuff. I just purchased this new Sanyo HD1 video camera. It creates .MP4 files and says they can be played with QuickTime (included with on the CD!). When I play the clips with QT, I get terrible playback - video/audio pauses and large chucks of video just drops. I've tried the clips on a variesty of high end machines (latest version of QT) with the same results. Interestingly enough, if you use the product that also comes on the CD for viewing (ULead) - everything looks smooth. I'd rather use QuickTime and go Pro for those features if I can get it to work. Suggestions?
    Sony Vaio 3.8Ghz, 1G Ram   Windows XP  

    I also have this same problem and have found I can get the file to play if I select the "add to selection and scale" option under the edit tab. However when I exit and save the option I still have to select the option on the same file the next time I open it in order to get the file to play.
    What is the fix?

  • How do I back up AVI files from my iPhoto library to a CD or DVD?  I

    I am using iPhoto 8 , exporting album, save as jpegs named sequentially. I did not think about the avi files from my camera, that are now on the cd or dvd as jpegs.  I'm doing this as I want the original files, not just the iPhoto library and plan to reinstall on a new Mac.

    Create a smart album with either of one of these criteria:  Kind is Movie or File Name conatins .avi.  Then select all of the movies and export them to a folder(s) on the desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export with Formate = Original.  This will get the movie files into folders ready to be burned to disk.

  • Cannot play avi files from my samsung digimax i5

    Hello y'all. I can't seem to play any of my avi files from this camera in quicktime. I have done some research and it seems I can view them on a vlc player which is fine. But how will I create movies in imovie and idvd when quicktime can't read them. It seems that there was a codec to download which I have but there is still no sound, just a picture. Can anyone help?

    You may be able to get the audio to play by using this freeware but no guarantees:
    http://www.3ivx.com/divxdoctor/
    If the Doctor can't fix it you may want to open one of these videos in QT and then use the MovieInfo window to reveal the compression methods used for audio and video. Post those and perhaps someone will have more info on how to get the audio decompressor.

  • How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

    Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

    If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
    AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
    The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
    First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

  • Convert  DV-AVI file from the sony camcorder into MPEG2 with time and date

    pls.. kindly reply mi on the emaiID: [email protected] my contact no. is:09869256073
    with regards,

    I read a whole bunch of random responses to similar questions ... here's some
    Try opening the file in iMovie
    Try changing the filename extension to ".dv"
    Here's an interesting one: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6172027
    But my personal favorite idea is to just re-export the file from a PC in a better supported codec
    (BTW If you don't have access to a PC then you can easily install Bootcamp on your Mac .... you can even download a free prerelease copy of Windows 7 to install on the Bootcamp partition if you're quick)
