Possible to view .avi files in Quicktime on an Intel?

I can't seem to find a solution. Anyone else found one?

Download and install the DivX codec for intel:

Download and install the XviD codec for intel:

95% of your avi playability issues (on up-to-date standard codecs anyway) will be solved.
VLC for intel handles an additional 4%. Drag-n-drop iSquint conversions cover the remaining 1%.
Popwire handles your WMVs - most anyway. And Flip4Mac handles your browser-based WMVs. Real Player for intel handles the balance.
That covers most day-to-day playability issues for me.

    is it possible to view AVI files in iTunes?  If yes, what codecs are required ?

    No, it is not possible, but you can always download any video converter. Or open your AVI file with QuickTime.

  • Problem viewing AVI files with quicktime plugin

    I have quicktime 7.6 and perian installed
    When I try to stream an AVI file I can hear sound but no video is displayed
    If I download the file and I then play it with quicktime everything is fine
    If I remove perian then I will be able to stream from the website but of course unable to play MKV, Divx and Xvid files
    I have removed all obsolete codecs and I am running out of ideas on what is wrong with the system

    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

  • Cannot view avi files

    I am trying to view .AVI files in Quicktime, the screen opens blank and the timer moves forward but no picture appears. Help would be appreciated.
    Thankyou

    QT support .mov better, but not .avi. Besides to use another player, you can try to do a simple conversion with the video converter. It's kind of the tool to convert .avi to .mov for QuickTime, for the occasion that you need QT to edit your videos.

  • Can't open avi files in quicktime 7.5

    When I try to open avi files with quicktime .5 i am told that Quicktime needs soe extra files and am taken to the quicktime page on appl.com What files do i need? Any suggestions welcome!

    'AVI' is a container which can house a variety of codecs.
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from (you may need a different site for the US):
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-003. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    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/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:

  • Can't view AVI files on Quick Time.

  • Play AVI File On Quicktime

    I have a new macbook pro (new to apple former pc quy) and i want to play an AVI file in quicktime but it cant read it. When i play it on my PC it plays fine in Real Player so i downlaoded Real Player for mac and it still wont work????
    ANy help will do
    thanks
    Brad

    I just solved this issue on my machine. Something in the Perian bundle also conflicts with Intel core MacBooks. I finally resolved the issue and avoided the white screen by removing ALL 3rd party QT plugins (including Perian) and restarted. I was then able to view the AVI files and avoid the white screen. When I added back Perian, I could again not see the files. So, the solve is remove ALL QT 3rd party plugins. I suppose you can add Perian back after you have used the files you require, but be aware there is still an Intel conflict within Perian for certain AVI files.

  • Sound cuts out after 1 sec on .avi files in QuickTime

    First, let me preface this post by saying that I have spent about a week searching through different posts in these and other forums regarding similar issues, and have yet to find a solution that works for me.
    So I have been trying to play certain .avi files with QuickTime that I BELIEVE have been encoded with the XviD codec. At first, no sound played at all. After installing a bunch of different codec files, including packages such as Perian and codecs such as DivX, XviD, and AC3. I finally managed to get QuickTime to play these videos with sound for about a second, after which the sound cuts out. Also, if I rewind or skip to another point in the video, the sound will restart again for about one second and then cut out once more.
    I should mention that these videos work perfectly when I play them with the DivX player. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone with similar issues? I am currently running OS X 10.7 (Lion) on a new MacBook Pro 15"

    As stated on the Perian "Support" web page, "Please consider removing obsolete QuickTime Components: FFusion, Xvid Delegate, 3ivX, DivX, DivX Decoder, XviD, msmpeg4v1, msmpeg4v2, AviImporter, EX_M4S2, Casio AVI Importer, AC3 Codec, and MatroskaQT." Having multiple codecs for the same compression formats can create component conflicts. Since Perian component package supports all of the named codecs, it is not necessary to have both Perian and the named codecs simultaneously installed.
    In addition, Lion seems to also be prone to conflicts with third-party software apps and hardware peripheral casrds/devices. If possible, it is usually best to disconnect/close anything you can during the tests. Also, it might be a good idea to test the same files on alternative systems. (I.e., if possible, you might like to post a sample problem file to see if others can play them without problem on other platforms operating under Lion OS as a further conflict test.)

  • AVI Files on QuickTime No Audio

    I'm not a mac expert so any explanations in pain English would help. I'm having the same problems as a lot of people since the quicktime update. I have done everything I have repaired permissions restarted the computer updated Divx nothing seems to work. My AVI movies work fine in the Divx movie player but I cant view on the TV as easily as I could with QuickTime ( which I have updated to QuickTime pro thinking it would solve the problem). It seems to me that divx is no longer connected to my QuickTime Player. How do I link them up so I can view my AVI files through QuickTime? I hope this makes sense as I don't know all the technical jargon.

    Pain English , ok - ouch!, whack! bang! slap! punch! sock! Just like the old Batman episodes.
    Drag the DivX component in the QT folder to the desktop. Download and install Perian 1.1. If you have other 3rd party codecs like 3ivX and XVid, drag them out to the desktop too. Reboot and try your clip.
    Pro vs. not-Pro is all to do with editing and has no impact on playback.

  • Viewing .AVI files iin iTunes

    Hi, is there any way of viewing .AVI files in iTunes, and if so is it possible to make them viewable on a Video iPod?
    Thanks.

    I don't believe AVI is one of the supported formats. You are probably better off converting it to an MPEG format.

  • In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?

    Hello,
    In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?
    Thank you.

    if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
    Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
    function loadImages() {
    for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
    var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
    imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
    function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
    trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
    Output window:
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
    [object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159

  • AVI files in quicktime

    i tried to load an avi file in quicktime but a window popped up that i needed additional software, downloaded all the softwares and none of them worked.
    i use ffdshow for my codecs, i dont know why it wont start up when i choose to open the avi file in quicktime, when i open the avi's with windows media player 2 icons 1 for video and other for audio shows down in the right corner.

    Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
    AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
    Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

  • How to export/watch .avi files using Quicktime Pro

    Hi there.
    I've got Quicktime Pro and I'm trying to convert .avi files so I can play them on my iPhone. I open up the .avi file in Quicktime and then slect the Movie to iPhone option.
    It will take about 20 mins or so, but when I open the file all I get is a white screen even though the timer is showing that the movie is playing.
    I can't even watch .avi files using Quicktime as all I get is a black screen.
    Could someone please help?
    Thanks

    Thanks, but unfortuntately that didnt work. MPEG Streamclip couldn't play any of the .avi files, it still came up with a white screen while playing.
    I tried this with a number of .avi files but I had the same problem.

    Is it possible to view .bbb files in a mac? how? I am transferring my bberry contacts onto my macbook pro, but cannot open the .bbb files...

    Well, if simply double-clicking the .bbb file doesn't work, first try dragging the file onto the BBDM icon (either in the Dock, on the desktop or in the Applications folder or wherever it's stored). That tells Finder to open it with that application.
    Otherwise, right-click on the file and choose the Open With option. If BBDM is not the default, select Get Info and use the Open with box from there to select it (if it's not in the list, choose 'other' and navigate to it), then click the 'change all' button.
