Quick Time AVI

I downloaded a soccer clip that posted on my desktop that had the usual Q sign but also had AVI printed along the bottom. I tried to run it but got the notice I was missing some thrid party software. I have gone to aht sight before and I have no idea what I need. Any suggestions for running a quick time AVI clip?

  • Quick time avi issue

    i downloaded some movies off of lime wire in avi format and they wont play in quicktime. it opens in quiktime screen, but just stays white the entire time its playing. any way to get it to open in windows media player? sorry im new to macs.

    You probably don't have the codec necessary to view the video. Divx would be my guess, but there are others out there, too. Open your file in Quicktime and press command-I. Next to format, it should tell you the kind of compression.
    I can't remember at the moment where you can get the free divx plugin, but you could also just download VLC, if all you want to do is watch.

  • I have AVI files that I need to be MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
    Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files.  Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
    Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea.  Liable to cause problems down the road.

    What QT player are you using and shat forms of compressed data does the AVI file contain?
    AVI is a legacy file container type abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of development of its newer, proprietary Windows Media product. While the AVI file container is still supported by all QT players, the codecs used to encode the data contained in the file are, for the most part not supported by QT X player and may require the installation of third-party codecs for use with the QT 7 player. Basically, you have three options here:
    You can use the QT 7 player with additional codecs (if available) to play the content.
    You can use a third-party player like VLC or NicePlayer with built-in codec support to player the files.
    Or you can use an app like HandBrake to convert the AVI files to MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC files compatible with all current QT/QL/IOS players.

  • Quick time player - avi formats

    my quick time player can't open avi formats of movies. even the new version quick time player 7 didn't help to solve it.

    i recommend downloading VLC as this software can read just about every format there is... Quicktime is useless by comparison

    How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

    QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all.   In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.

    Try installing Perian. AVI is a container, not a format, and no single component can open all AVIs.

  • Quick Time (Mountain Lion) won't play .AVI files.

    Since all of you probably already know the information I typed in the headtitle, I have a question. So obviously .avi files can not be played on this version of Quick Time that comes with Mountain Lion, but, would buying a Quick Time Pro solve my problem? I'm ready to pay 30$ for the program, but first I'd like to know would it enable me to play .avi and all sorts of other video files? Ofcourse I read it does play all sorts of files including .avi, but I'd like to hear it from somebody who actually uses Quick Time Pro on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help in advance!

    P.S. I already have tried VLC, I use it but that's not the solution I'm asking for. Nor that, nor other programs such as MplayerX. I'm interested only in Quick Time while it never breaks, deinterlaces my footy nice and is very simple and user friendly.

    You don't need to buy Quick Time Pro.  Quick Time Pro is just a paid add-on to add features to QuickTime Player 7.  You don't need the Pro features for just playing.  The player in your Applications folder is Quick Time X.  QuickTime Player 7 should be in your Utilities folder (which is inside yoir Aplicatioins folder).  If it's not there, download it from:
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923>
    QuickTime Player 7 will play .AVI files if you install Perian
    <http://perian.org>
    then replace its A52 codec component

  • Quick Time 7 - converting avi file to iTunes

    Hi
    I purchased a copy of Quick Time 7 (version 7.6.6) in order to convert some avi video files I have to m4v so i can see them on Apple TV.
    The QT7 seemed to work and convert files ok.  Last week when i converted my Christmas video the picture came through OK, but the audio was all wrong and had a rythmic rasping thud overlaid on the sound which sounds a bit like a metallic drum beat  The avi file plays normally in Quick Time and the sound is fine, so I am assuming there is a problem with the conversion process.
    i have never had issues before so wondering what has gone wrong.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks
    Caroline

    But I've just realized that the .avi file doesn't play with sound in QuickTime, even though it does with VLC. Any ideas about this?
    Install Perian on the computer. If it doesn't play sound in QuickTime, any export of it done through QuickTime won't include sound.
