No sound playing AVI, DivX player works fine

So, if I open an AVI using Quicktime, I get picture, but no sound. On the other hand, opening the same file in other players gives me both picture and sound.
I kinda need Quicktime since I need to convert the video from .avi to .mov.

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/
Both AVI and mov are containers not codecs, but generally mpegStreamclip can convert from most avi formats to mov:

Itunes worked after reseting my computer to factory setting however had trouble again after syncing my iPod and iPod shuffle. Is this a coincidence or could it be the cause of the problem?

Flash Player works fine in IE, but when I am using Firefox, it crashes

Flash player works fine in IE, but when I am using Firefox it crashes when it has to play an audio signal. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It is most annoying.

Hi,
Please provide more information like which version of Flash Player are you using?
What is the version of Firefox?

My up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

Ever since I downloaded FF 4, I cannot play Text Twist on any of the websites that have it. All the other games that I habitually play seem to be working fine. What happened?

Ever since I downloaded FF 4, I try to play Text Twist on 3 different websites and nothing happens. It attempts to load the game and I get a blank screen. All of the other games that I habitually play seem to be working fine. What happened?

I got it working with the help of Live Chat tech support. There was some sort of error happening with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop was now a problem with the new version. I updated the graphic card driver and software via the manufacturer's website and that helped me get through.
After updating the driver... at first it felt like I was going backward a bit... I got an expired trial period error again on opening Photoshop the first time, but then I tried again logging out and logging back in to CC as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately- launch.html ) ... and this time that helped fix the trial error and this time that was not followed by crashing (thanks to the graphics driver update).
I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver I was running did not work with Photoshop CC. I have now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything is working now.
Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics card as the issue!

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

QuickTime plays .avi DivX sound, black blank window

Hiya!
I've got issues...
Before my Quicktime worked fine with all video file formats.
Suddenly, it stopped playing certain files correctly.
I got the latest DivX and Xvid codecs, as well as well as
that Perian software. Still, When I try to play certain DivX
.avi files, Quicktime will play sound, but no picture - just
a black blank window. Instead, DivX player 2.0 for macintosh
works fine.
I'd still like to use Quicktime. What should I get / do?
Thanks in advance!
VM.

Perian asks you to get rid of similar codecs. Try moving out the codecs except Perian and try again.

Movie won't play on IE9. Works fine on other browsers

Movie plays in all browsers except IE9
Feb 11, 2013 3:05 PM
Please go to this site: http://www.shop.com/Isotonix+reg+OPC+3+reg+-561800349-p+.xhtml
You will see "View Product Video" to the left of "Ship Free".
When I click that link in ALL browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome), it works fine (plays the movie).
When I click it in IE9 an empty gray box shows up.
I have the latest version of the Shockwave Flash Object (11.5.502.149)
I've been looking for a setting in IE9 but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Thank you
David

Damaged DVDs won't play under OS X (works fine under Windows)

I have started to rent my DVDs online and so far for the past two weeks it has been fine. Today though I got one which was a bit scratched. I popped it in and it was detected but wouldn't play as it couldn't be read very well (well it did play but very slowly).
I gave it a clean but this still didn't work so I tested it on my Windows machine. It worked fine on there so I took out the DVD drive and connected it using my USB to IDE adapter to my Mac.
I then popped the DVD into there, and tried again. Same problem, it still reads really slowly on my Mac, but works fine on my Windows PC.
So I decided to try it in Parallels using the USB connect functionallity. Guess what, it works fine!
So from what I can tell it must be a software bug with OS X, I am running 10.4.9 and have all the latest updates installed.
Under OS X I have tried playing it with DVD Player and VLC, and also tried ripping it with Handbrake, but nothing gives good results.
Under Windows I have tried playing it with VLC and Windows Media Player 11, both of which work fine.
Any ideas?
MacBook 1.83 GHz, 1 GB Ram, 60 GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry, I will make things a bit clearer.
The Windows PC I have is a desktop PC. It works fine on there, so I took the optical drive out of there and connected it to my Mac using a USB to IDE adapter. Even when playing it from this drive (which worked fine under Windows) it still didn't work properly under OS X.
When running it through Parallels I tried it with both the Mac's internal optical drive, and via the optical drive from my Windows PC and both worked fine.
I have sent the DVD back now, so I am afraid I can't test any more solutions anybody has. In the end I just played it through Windows.
Thanks,
Luca Spiller

Audio attachment will not open and play on Ipad4 but works fine on PC. Any suggestions?

I have been sent an audio attachment in an email to a Hotmail account. It opens and plays fine on my PC but will not open on my Ipad. I get a pop up wanting to forward the attachment from my Comcast email account but neither will open and play it. Any suggestions?

I kept looking and found this answer in an Ipad forum from IpadJunkie. "Try the OPlayerHD lite app...free. When pressing and holding the WMA attachment select open with OPlayer and it works fine."

Ethernet connected Apple TV 3 can't play content. WiFi works fine. What gives?

Apple TV 3 has a strange problem since the latest update, 5.1. It is only partially functional when hard wired to my router, but is fully functional when connected wirelessly.
When hardwired, I can control it with the iOS Remote app, airplay from iPhones & iPad, and browse the menus of the various services, Hulu, Netflix, etc. But, when I try to play content, for example, a Hulu show, I get a “there was an error…” message.
When I connect wirelessly- everything works fine- I can play all the content without a problem.
I prefer to have a wired connection, and have been using one successfully up until 5.1 – does anyone know how to fix the limited functionality of the wired connection?

TS2771 why are we hearing only background sounds when using earbuds? works fine on ipod dock but not when earbud plug is pushed all the way in, it works when just barely pushed in. please someone tell me it is a "cheap" fix. :)

Just wanna know if anybody knows what might be wrong??? earbuds work but sounds like background music only when plug is in all the way. just barely in and it sounds normal. also works fine on the dock.
any input will be appreciated. the teenager is having a spasm.

The headphones work with other devices it would appear the the headphone jack is bad and needs to be replaced.

Movie plays once on Apple TV then wont play.. BUT works fine on our iMac

Frustrated and starting to think we should have gone with ROKU / NetFlix and Amazine Online route... Cheaper and our friends have had no issues.
Some movies we have purchased both from iTunes and direct from the Apple TV only play once then wont play again (Works fine on iTune / i Mac) also the Extra content works fine.
I have been in contact with Apple support twice with no luck in solving this problem... reconfigured the apple tv to factory settings and re-synching seems to be the only solution... BUT as soon as we update the software and re-synch back to the same problem.
Note... Each time we reconfigure / re-synch a different movie has this issue... Very inconsistent
I have seen similar issues posted... We are not getting the white screen Any ideas???

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Have you tried Repopulating iTunes with the files that you have problems with.

Why won't my SWF file attached to html play in Safari but work fine in Firefox?

I've tested the files in dreamweaver, on all browsers, and they work fine. But when I uploaded them to my site they only work in Firefox. The crazy thing is when I check the file in file management they work just not from the main site. What am I missing?

I have a MacBook Pro bought in 2010. I had been burning Sony DVD+R's without any problem.
Then I ran out of blanks and bought a cake of Sony DVD-R's. Put one into the drive and the
macbook spit it out. Launched Toast then inserted the blank again and Toast says "You can't write
to this disk". Quit Toast and out comes the blank.
The system info for the DVD drive says it can read/write -R, -R DL. +R, +R DL, etc. Anything.
I don't know what the problem is, but it is not a failing or dirty drive. I don't think it is a problem with
the blank DVDs either. It is probably a compatibility problem between MacBook Pros and
Snow Leopard/Leopard and -R DVDs.
