Quicktime 10 .avi file format

I just got my new MacBook pro with the snow leopard system, and Quicktime 10.0 (90.3.1).
I can view the .avi movie, but have no sound... any suggestions on what to do to listen?

any suggestions on what to do to listen?
The normal solution when a file loads but does not play either the audio or video portion of the content is to determine what codec is not being supported, locate a Mac component version of that component, and install it on you system. In the case of AVI files, the Perian (free) component package will play most "common" audio/video format combinations currently in use on Windows platforms. However, be advised that this file format is old (i.e., the developer dropped official support for it a decade ago) and there are several codecs that have never been transcoded for use on the Mac or may only be available for OS 9 and/or non-Intel systems. In addition, if you already have Perian installed and then upgraded to Snow Leopard, it may be necessary to re-install the package to properly re-link the components for QT X.

and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.

In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

Quicktime converting .avi files

Hi
Most times when I try and play .avi files in Quicktime I get a message saying 'converting'.
It takes ages to do so and when or if it finally does convert the sound is severely out of sync.
I am running a new Macbook Pro and have Quicktime 10.3 and have installed Perian for codecs.
Can anyone help?

Files encoded using modern and standards-based codecs such as H.263, H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, and Apple ProRes open in QuickTime Player without being converted. When opening media files that use older codecs, QuickTime Player in Mavericks automatically converts them into a new QuickTime movie.
You can use QuickTime Player 7 that plays many older media files without conversion, but it's recommended that you convert important older files to newer formats whenever possible. Download QuickTime Player 7 for Mavericks from here.

HT3775 will my mac play .avi file formats?

Hi
I have a new mac and not sure on opening this format. The help section lists AVI and the file format is .avi bit it wont open.
Any ideas?

In addition to the VLC player that mende1 mentions, you can use a tool like Handbrake to transcode such formats to an MP4 that will play in quicktime. These can be found here:

.AVI file format question

Upgrading from CS2 to Photoshop CS5
I found out after the fact that in order to edit video you need CS5 Extended.
So, I then went and returned regular and upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended.
(See my other thread for details, but installing the 12.01 patch is not an option at this time.)
Try to use file open to open a .AVI file from one of my cameras and get a message of "unrecognized file format".
Was able to import the 7 second video into layers.
Checked support issues, and installed Quicktime 7.6.8
Also, due to 12.01 issues, reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended AFTER upgraded Quicktime to 7.6.8
Machine specs: Toshiba Satellite P30 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.60 GHZ (Hyperthreading Dual Core) 2GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Win XP Professional SP3 About 12 GB disk space available at install time.
Note that Quicktime will open the .AVI file in question with no problems, as well as Roxio software (trying to get rid of that with CS5)

I talked to support via phone and it appears the the problem is in installation. The install of CS5 extended did not take over the regular install. So, I need to start by completely uninstalling AGAIN and installed extended from scratch AGAIN.
I did try the program mention GSPOT as well. It says AVI codecs are installed on the machine inquestion. I will get more informaiton tonight afte rI do the re-install and see what happens.

Quicktime exporting AVI files

At Videography Lab we are testing the Pentax Optio W30 and W60 cameras. Both are waterproof but the W60 has a wider lens which we prefer. Unfortunately in upgrading their camera, Pentax moved from a native Quicktime movie to an AVI.
We had gotten quite happy with Quicktime Pros quick edit trimming capability. So we started opening the AVI files with Quicktime Pro and trimming. Than when we were finished we Save As . . . and only get the Quciktime Movie format.
We would like to save them as AVI files. One reason is that Windows XP gives a key frame for AVI movies but only a Q logo for Quicktime movies.
So is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?

is there a way to open the AVI in Quicktime Pro > trim > Save as AVI file?
What KIND of AVI file. AVI is just a wrapper. Many of the newer cameras use some form of mpg-4 codec in the AVI files. Open the file in the Quicktime player and do a "Window>Show Movie Properties". What video and audio CODEC are shown?
BTW, I use VisualHub to work with my problem AVI files on the Mac side.

Quicktime and .avi Files

Where do I go to get a plug-in for Quicktime to let me play .avi movie files? I went to the site where it says it might be, but I don't see anything for .avi files. Thanks for any help.
PS. I downloaded VLC, but everytime I right click the .avi file, go to open with, then pick VLC, it starts to open then closes.

Yes, that does work, but I'm viewing avi files over
the network, so it's hard to open VLC, then click
open file and go over the network to get the file.
There's got to be an easier way.
In VLC (because this'll come up again) just choose 'open Network' and supply the URL for the stream/resource (in some case you may have to dig into the source of the web page - or the one the link actually directs you to to find something that starts mms:// or RTSP: or similar).
This is particularly handy because in VLC - as in mplayer/ffmpegx and others) you can pipe the output to a file on disk in many cases (I hate streams. I like files.
A helpful link - and good forum: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=49539#49539

AVI file format

Hello
At this moment I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but in the future I want to use Final Cut Studio. Now I make avi file in Microsoft DV format. Is this also possible in FCS ? Al the file that I create in FCS are later used in Premiere Pro, so there must be some kind of compatibility. Those anyone know how compatible FCS is with Premiere Pro
Thanks in advance

You'll have no problems making the switch. All the normal codecs - DV, Uncompressed 10-bit, etc, all work perfectly in both applications.
You can easily make AVI's, but not directly from within FCS. All you have to do is export your finished movie and transcode it in a third-party app. A good one is VisualHub, it's $23 shareware. But as I said, you won't need these to move media between Premiere and FCS.

HT3775 Quicktime and AVI Files

Quicktime says it supports AVI videos, but when I try to play mine it says I need to download a codec?

There are multiple types of AVI encoders, and as such not all AVI files are recognised by QT.
The easiest thing to do is to move away from QT, and install VLC, which handles nearly all types of files.

Quicktime playing AVI files

I have AVI files and quicktime cannot play these, can you please help me

The installers from these two sites work in QT 6 but many using QT 7 and Tiger report problems with them.

Some QT 7 users report success with this decompressor although it will not play all avi files.

If all you want is to play avi files (not transcode) you may do better with this freeware: VLC

Transferring video I have taken (AVI file format) to iPodTouch

I would like to transfer a video I have shot and that is in iPhoto to my iPod touch so I can show it to others when I don't have my computer with me. So far I haven't discovered a way to copy it. I can get still photos with no problem.
Is this possible? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,
You will need to put your video through some sort of conversion.
Have a look at this software - http://www.squared5.com/

Best Web/Quicktime/AVI file settings.

I'm just getting into Web, Quicktime, and AVI Files/applications.
I understand the why of the format uses... my question is, what are the best settings for low file size and presentable quality, espically over web applications, or file exchange server.
My first project will be 2-3 min long.
Thanks Marv.

when you say you want it to be compatible with QT 6 and 7, what you really mean is that it must be QT 6 compatible (because that's automatically compatible with any higher version).
in Compressor, you'll find a QT 6 compatible preset setting way down in this folder: Apple -> Other Workflows -> Web -> Download -> QuickTime 6 Compatible.
you'll see a bunch of presets in there. oddly there's an MPEG-1 option, but in general you want to use any of the MPEG-4 options. They are labeled as low, med, or high bandwidth.
