Programs that allow .avi 'streamed video' to be viewed

I've seen some replies here to "problems viewing .avi files" posts -- e.g., using the VLC media player to view .avi files.
Do VLC and other programs (QuickTime plugins, etc.) that support .avi automatically open when .avi files are streamed from the Internet, or do they only work with downloaded .avi files?
I ask because I downloaded VLC and still have not been able to view .avi streams. The QuickTime logo appears on-screen and then changes to a 'watermarked' version with a 'question mark' superimposed over it.
Thanks.

To my understanding, AVI is not a file format unto itself, but more of a container for any one of a number of formats.
The other problem is none of the Mac video codec players can correctly play any Windows Media Player 10 or higher encoded video that also includes DRM.
Ergo, if the AVI in question was encoded with WMP10 and includes DRM footage, nothing we currently have will play it.
Personally, I haven't had a problem with AVI, so perhaps I've been fortunate enough so far (banging head against desk) not to have any wmp10 stuff

  • What is best program to capture any streaming video ?

    Hi, I would like to know what program is recommended to capture streaming video from a website, from a video chat and/or any other source?
    Thxs,

    I have iShow U. I showU is ok for small low resolution videos and it works you CPU and Ram overtime because it captures and converts everything at the same time.
    The best program out there that I have tried is 'SnapzPro', it works way better. It does one thing at a time so you get higher quality results , and higher quality resolution too.
    SnapzPro is the best....., but it costs $ bling. You can use the trial version of snapz for free for a week. Make sure you have everything lined up and lots of time so you can make the most of the week.
    And yes both of these record 'motion VIDEO' .

  • How to reset the feature that allows audio and video tracks to snap to other tracks on timeline

    I have somehow disabled the feature that allows you to drag and snap video and audio tracks on the timeline to other tracks or positions of import.  It is only one project that has been affected, and all I can think of is that while performing some other keyboard shortcut, I accidentally perfromed a shortcut that diabled this feature. 

    You mean, "Snap?" Press 'S' on the keyboard, or press the magnet button in the Timeline panel.

  • Could someone please write a download manager program that allows me to set what time of day downloads can be scheduled.?

    I have a iMac, iPhone & iPad. I am using "Hughes Satilite Internet". We have a very limited download of 425MB. But between 1:am till 5:am I can download freely any amount. Some updates have been well over 1 gig & combination of different updates have been more. Also iCloud syncs with all devises. I would like a program on Apple products that allow me to specify a time to download updates & iCloud syncing, to allow me to schedule updates & music downloads at specific times. This is a needed program for all Apple products. It needs to be built in to the iOS.
    Thank you,
    Glenn

  • IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature

    Hi Guys,
    Now I'm really getting desperate...
    Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
    I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
    I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
    I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
    Kind regards,
    Neelan

    There used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
    What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
    "As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
    If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
    The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
    Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
    We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
    DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
    It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
    Why Should you Upgrade:
    If you have a jailbreak on your device
    If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
    Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
    If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
    If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
    To do so:
    1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
    2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
    3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
    If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
    If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
    It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
    We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
    Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!"

  • ITunes 11 no longer allowing to stream video audio to an Airport?

    I just istalled iTunes 11 and discovered that when watching videos, I am no longer able to stream the audio to an AirportExpress connected to a DAC.  Very annoyingly, the new iTunes 11 user interface killed the AirportExpress entries from the output menu when wathing videos (it only lets you stream to an Apple TV), but when listening to music, all AirportExpress options are still available.  Why can't I select where I want to stream my video to and - separately - where I want to stream the audio to?  This is very disappointing, Apple: you've eliminated a key feature of a well-functioning Apple ecosystem at home.

    I am so beyond fed up with this and with Apple.  THANK GOD I just switched to a Galaxy S3.  The whole reason I did it is because iOS 6 crossed the line, especially with the removal of the native Google apps, only to replace Maps with the biggest joke of a maps app I have ever seen in my life.  Within 5 minutes of turning on my new Android phone, literally every single feature, down to the most minor detail, was better than iPhone.  Every iPhone user that has checked out my new phone says the same thing.  I cannot find ONE thing that is better on the iPhone.  Not ONE thing. 
    Before activating my new awesome phone, I wanted to sync my busted old piece of junk iPhone with Google contacts so I can seamlessly transfer them to the new phone, and lo & behold, I encounter even more of Apple's BS with regard to Google. 
    Apple, I can promise you this... by taking this stance against Google & making things SO much harder for your users, you are driving them away from Apple in DROVES, and straight into Googles open arms.  Prepare to circle the drain.  Switching to Android is the best decision I've made all year.  I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!

  • Programs that allow you to open and crop PDF

    Hi There,
    I am working on a project with two other people that uses PDF's that need cropping and saving as both PDF's and JPG. I know that both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can do these tasks, the only problem is that I am working with others who do not have these programs installed on their laptops and neither they nor I have a budget to be able to purchase either of these programs. Can any one recommend alternative software (preferably Free or Open Source) that will allow us to get the job done quickly and easily.
    Thanks

  • Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

    Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC.  Why?

    Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message.  I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video.  I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating.  The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files.  The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it.  I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back.  Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?
