Quicktime 7.1.3 won't play my AVI's

I have QT 7.1.3 and the most current Divx 6 installed on my P4 and the Quicktime player will not play my AVI's. It seems to load the file, but when I hit play, it just moves the counter and plays no video or audio.
Someone please help me with this?
Nic

What is this program you had to buy to make all this work? I would like to get it myself.
Thanks for your response. Please email it to me if you could at <[email protected]>

I to have the same problem and I pretty well ******
cause I just bought a new ipod video 80gb and I
bought quicktime pro at the same time so I would have
a seamless conversion from avi to ipod.
The only answer I have found is that the latest
quicktime dosen't support the latest Divx. Apple
dosen't say that it just keeps directing me to the
codec support page.
I've had to purchase further 3rd party software to be
able to convert Divx into QuickTime.
So basically I feel like I've blown my money on
QuickTime Pro because it dosn't do what I purchased
it for.
My only problem now is who or how do I contact Apple
to complain

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

Quicktime 7.1.3 won't play .mov or .swf inserted in powerpoint

I have been using Quicktime in ppt for sometime and it always played video loops fine. I upgraded to 7.1.3 and I have all kinds of problems. I have gone under the Quicktime preferences and MIME files and activated video and miscellanous types. Once I close the window though it reverts back to default and I can no longer open mov or swf. Is there a way to save these changes? Secondly when I insert a movie into ppt now it does not work. If I just open the file using Quicktime it works but not when embedded in ppt. I have reinstalled Quicktime 7.0.4 and the movies work fine. The other problem I have is that I upgraded to iTunes 7 and it requires 7.1.3 so when I remove 7.1.3 I can't use any of the video features of iTunes. Does anybody have any work arounds. Very, Very frustrated In South Dakota

Quicktime Kirk,
I have downloaded another persons inquiry because it is exactly the problem I am having. Here is his post
"I make movies of cells and convert them to quick time and insert them into powerpoint for presentations for conferences. I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to office 2004 and now many (but not all) of my movies won't play. They seem to be there but when I click play they go white as though there is only the first image. I had saved them as cinepak and or jpeg A usually with image J or older ones from the original NIH image and I can't figure out what the problem is. I even upgraded to quicktime pro to resave them as self contained but still they don't work when I insert them. I can play them all with quicktime player and when I make new ones now in image j I save them as video and that seems to work but it would be very difficult to go back and do that with everything. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?"
My additional comments would be I used the Sample_iTunes.mov from QT and it plays like a champ in PPT. My movies are all from 2004. When I save them in the QT 7.1.3 it doesn't seem to make any difference. The older movies insert into PPT as a QT icon with 4 color quadriant. Everything including .swf are now working in QT. Thanks for your help. When I go back to 7.0.3 they work but then I can't play my videos in iTunes unless I do an erase and a reinstall to get rid of the updated iTunes. Thanks

QuickTime 7 Audio Issue (Won't play audio in certain video clips)

I'm having a problem getting audio to play with clips in QuickTime 7, and it doesn't play at all in iDVD when I drag a clip in to burn a DVD. I'm also having problems getting Final Cut Pro to play audio from time to time. Is this being caused by a recent Apple security update or is there something else going on?

After installing divX codec, QT won't play divX .avis

Environment:
Windows XP pro
QT pro 7.1.3
DivX 6.5
I hate windows media player, and always play my media in QT if I can. When I tried to play some avis in QT that were encoded with DivX, the QT dialog box came up and directed me to the apple site which had the divx link. It stated there that the codec will work for QT, on both mac and windows. However, after I download and install the codec, the only thing I see in my player is a black screen with no audio. (And I think that before I installed the codec, I at least got the audio.) But now I get nothing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Quicktime 7.5.5 won't play .avi on MacBook Air w/flip4mac and perian

I have .avi files that are Apple - Microsoft Video 1 codec. They play fine on an Intel based desktop using Tiger and Quicktime 7.5.5 without plugins. But won't work on my MacBook Air (white screen). Installing the Flip4Mac and Perian plugins didn't solve the problem. WRAW codecs play fine. "MacGenius" no help. Any thoughts?

I have experienced the same issue on my MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.5.5 and QuickTime 7.5.5.
The video format is "Apple - Microsoft video 1" according to QT inspector.
The AVI file plays fine on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008), MacBook Pro (Mid 2007), and a MacPro (1st Gen). All of these have the very latest software updates from Apple as of today (10-10-2008).
I erased the MBA and installed the original 10.5.1 from the restore DVD. *The video played back correctly*. Then I applied all available Apple updates (which includes QT 7.5.5) and the video only displays a White screen in the QuickTime player. (No other third party applications were installed.)
I have not backtracked yet to determine if it video fails as soon as QT 7.5.5 installed.

Quicktime in iweb page won't play in safari, but does play in firefox

Some people (but not all) report problems going to this webpage
http://web.me.com/michael_grenadier/Loudon/TheCharliePooleProject.html
The quicktime doesn't play, just a quicktime icon.
I just checked it on my macbookpro and that's what happens, but it loads and plays fine in firefox.
Any ideas/solutions?

It's bad design to put more than one movie on a page. Even my local cinema knows that.
It takes some time, sometimes a lot of time, to load the movies.
And since you don't provide a link to the page, its hard to tell what the problem might be.

My QuickTime videos on Iweb won't play on my Iphone.

After quicktime upgrade, old movie won't play smooth

Hi, I had an older verson of quicktime and a movie I had edited in imovie worked and played fine, then I upgraded to quicktime 7.0.1 and now the movie plays unsmooth with pasues and skips. All my other movies that I edited in imovie play fine, but they are not as big. Any ideas on why or what I should do? thanks
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The object tag code is used by Internet Explorer and the embed tag is used by all other browsers.
Your page code is missing quote marks around the words true, loop and controller. This may be causing other browsers some trouble.
I tried downloading the file via QuickTime Player's Open URL feature:
http://inthestudioshow.com/media/Inthe_Studio_ep_promomed.mov
The movie is not set to fast start. You can fix this by using QT Pro.
Open the file (the version on your server) and use Save As (save location is your Desktop). Upload this "new" version to your server and replace the "old" one.
Save As will restore the fast start properties in the file.

Bug: Quicktime 7.1.6 won't play MPA audio streams

Since upgrading to 7.1.6, Quicktime will no longer play RTP streams encoded as Mpeg-1 Layer 2 audio. The stream will run, and the info window will show the bitrate, but no sound is heard. The behavior is now the same as Layer 3 (mp3) streams, which is a much older bug. Any chance for a fix?
Thanks.

Please ignore this post, it looks like I was completely mistaken, it's working now.

Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

Quicktime created on MAC won't play on PC

Help...I am just trying to make a simple slide show. I used iPhoto, created slide show then exported to Quicktime. I then saved on a flash drive, took it to work and imported into a PowerPoint. Getting the following message...
Quicktime and a MPEG 4 Video decompressor are need to see...
When I created the powerpoint on my Mac, it played no problem. I tried going into FCE and saving to quicktime and also iMovie..still no luck.
I prefer to use the iPhoto slideshow option because I am just looking to play a continuous picture loop. I don't want to spend time creating movie in FCE or iMovie.
THANKS for any help...
iPhoto 6.0

The file is just over 9 Gigs. It is 25 minutes long. I made a mistake in my earlier post; it does not have any audio. It is in DVCPro 50 NTSC format and it works fine on my Mac but when putting it on a PC, I just get a white screen. It seems to play the file but because there isn't any audio, I can't be sure. When I press play on Quicktime PC, it starts playing without any error message at all. I get movie info and it gives me the same info that I get in my Mac: 720x480, DVCPro 50 NTSC 29.97 frame rate. I want to do some colour correction on my PC before I transfer it to tape so I don't want to use any compression other than DVCPro 50.

Quicktime movie on Mac won't play on PC

Hi,
I have a Quicktime movie that was created using IMovie on a Mac. It plays fine in Quicktime on a Mac but not on a PC. I have Quicktime Pro 7 on both Mac and PC. The .mov is DVCPro 50 NTSC with audio. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Quicktime 7.1.2 won't play whole MPEG movie

I recently downloaded a movie that is about 140 Mb. When I use Quicktime 7.1.2 to replay, it only plays about 20 seconds worth and then stops. I know there is more video in the file but I can't get it to play through about 21 seconds worth. What is the deal with that? Is Quicktime Pro needed to be able to play MPEGs?

Possibly a broken time code. Try using the "Time Code Fix" option in MPEG Streamclip (Free) or simply watch it in a player that is less "fussy" about time codes like VLC (Free).

Exported presentation to quicktime and embedded movies won't play

Hello:
i have exported a keynote presentation as both hyperlinks only and interactive to quicktime pro, and the embedded movies will not play. if i reduce the screen size (from full screen, to half or so) then i can right click on the movie and select play (i could not do that in full screen). Even then, once the movie plays, i cannot replay it, even if i right click and hit play again.
is there some trick to making movies play in the exported QT file?? i was trying to export my full presentation earlier and the keynote app quick and said there was not enough disk space ( i think it is b/c i had too many other app's running at once) <---however am i doing something wrong there too??
i have a presentation due on monday and cannot figure this out!! thank you so much in advance!

what format are the movies you placed on your slides? This makes a big difference in if they get included in the exported QT movie.
