QuickTime 7.5 Plays Audio but no Video on .avi file

Found a good clip to use in a classroom setting, but it is .avi. I updated QuickTime to 7.5, but still only plays audio - no video whatsoever. Any ideas? Thanks!

Install Perian on the computer; if it doesn't work, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu and check the video format. An AVI file may contain audio and video of any format, and some formats cannot be used on Mac OS X.

Flash player 11.6.602.180 plays audio but not video...

Very similar to problems reported by others. Just started recently... flash player on Win 7 and IE 10 plays audio but no video... just black box or blank.
Have reinstalled flash player several times... including following all clean install instructions several times. Installation completes and and tells me it's installed successfully.
Have carefully matched IE settings to allow activeX content and have enabled the flash player object and turned on active scripting for all zones, etc. Still no video.
Going to the flash verification page shows a blank box where the current installed version should be.
If I look in control panel under Flash Player it tells me the activeX version is 11.6.602.180 and that the plug in is "Not Installed"... could that be the problem?
What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

HT204291 Plays audio but no video sometimes

Can someone help with my apple tv 2 playing audio but no video sometimes. The icon comes up in the bottom corner the same as when I play a song and the video does not come on once Ina while.

Is that because AirPlay will not do streaming videos, just ones already loaded on the device?
It's as clear as mud but the explanation is here. My interpretation is that it's a licensing issue.
AirPlay DOES do streaming videos. Crackle is one example. Netflix is another but, in the case of Netflix, there is no need for an iPad/iPod.

Blu Ray Burned in Encore CS4 play audio but no video

I've burned this project multiple times and everytime I get the menus and the audio, but no video when played on a Blu Ray player. The same disc plays fine in computer/laptop. And when I tried a shorter version of the project (10 minutes vs. an hour and a half for the original) it plays fine everywhere. Could the file size be causing my disc not to play in a BD-R player? Then why would it play on a computer/laptop?

Audio but no video on .mov files

I'm trying to watch a tutorial disc (working with Ableton Live). The video files are .mov, the disc comes with the install for Quicktime 7.03. I have Quicktime Pro 7.12. When I try to play the video files, I get audio but no video.
When I try to play the files in VLC Player, I get video but an audio error (and no audio)...
Anyone familiar with this issue (I've searched the forums and found similar issues, but nothing the same as this...)?

Nothing about Sorenson 3 (video track) AAC (audio) or Apple BMP (image format layer) that would keep the file from playing on your machine.
Do you open these .mov files directly from the CD (double click) or is there some app that is used from the CD to play them?
Try a double click and test the files while logged in under a different user account.

Audio but no video for .mov file.

For Windows XP (Home Edition 5.1.26700 Service Pack 3 Build 2600):
My QuickTime Player 7.6.6 shows a window but the window is empty only the audio is present.
The same or similar is the case in VLC, RealPlayer, and DivX Player.
Additional information from my Mac OS X:
- The .mov file plays perfectly on my iMac in my QuickTime Player 10.0(114).
- Cmd-I reports for the .mov file: codecs: H264,AAC.
- The file is produced by AddMovie version 1.8.6 from a .flv file and the developer states:
’AddMovie uses Mac OS technology "out of the box" so to speak. In other words all it does is call system functions that in turn call the codecs installed on your system to do their job. I don't write any codecs (i.e. compressor/decompressors - i.e. exporters/importers) - other third party developers do that. So, getting the output of AddMovie to be compliant for other software depends on your choice of these third party add-ons, and the selection of them in the preferences window.‘
- Perian 1.2.1 and Flip4Mac 2.3.4.1 are installed.
- VLC version 1.1.2 is installed and it plays the .mov file with audio but no video like QuickTime Player in Windows.

Thanks again, QuickTimeKirk.
I think the audio rate was to blame. I changed the audio format in QuickTime Player 7 Pro from (I think) Linear PCM to AAC and the kbps number from the default value 128 to 64. Then I changed the mark for the video rate from automatic to the option of setting a limit and set a suitable limit. That way I was able to control the total kbit/second rate for the exported .mov file so that it got a reasonable size.
When I compare the source .flv file with the produced .mov file for the case when they have about the same total kbit/second rate, I can see that the .mov file is smoother or has less detail than the .flv file although the difference is not big. Increasing the video rate limit in QuickTime Player 7 Pro causes a bigger .mov file with better quality to be produced.

.m4b files play audio but no video in QuickTime

I recently upgraded to Lion, after which QuickTime no longer displays the video with my .m4b files. It plays the audio fine, but none of the video slides that are in the files. I spent time on the phone with tech support, and all they could suggest was using another media player such as VLC. But that doesn't answer the questions as to why QuickTime no longer plays the video in .m4b files. Does anyone else experience this?

I have found the solution - forget about QuickTime, use NicePlayer,

QuickTime Plays Audio But No Video

For the past few days everytime I play an mpg or mov on my QuickTime Player (7.3), I hear the audio but instead of seeing any video, there's only the native aqua gray screen. This not only happens with downloaded mpgs or movs on the Internet, which
plays fine in whatever browser I'm using, but also with mov files I've made myself with Final Cut Pro.
I've already researched similar problems within this forum from the past few months and I've tried various suggested solutions, like trashing the QuickTime preferences, restarting, repairing permissions, but nothing has changed. I've also gone into QuickTime preferences>advanced>mime settings, checked the "video" box, clicked okay, and restarted, but when I drag a mov file onto the QuickTime icon in my dock, the SAME THING happens, audio without video.
This hasn't affected anything within FCP, but I can't see any of my files in QuickTime. The only thing I did lately was install a third party program to change the look of my iTunes interface, but I completely trashed my iTunes program, all related files, including my music library, and reinstalled them from my backup drive, in case that affected QT.
Any ideas?
Jeff

.MOV files play audio but no video

hi, does anyone know why that when i open a .MOV file from my digital camera in quicktime, the audio plays fine but the picture however is a fuzzy green and purple mess? i have tried re-installing quicktime and everything but it makes no difference. do i need a new plugin for .mov files? the video plays fine in realplayer, but i would like to be able to open it in quicktime for realplayer tends to jump and freeze quite a lot.
any help would be most obliged!
Sam

Yes, this fixed my problem too.
The problem appears to be that Quicktime for Windows is set to require DirectX support as the default and my Toshiba Tecra M2 notebook with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M discrete video adapter probably doesn't support that.
Quicktime Preferences (Advanced tab)
========================
Safe mode (GDI only) <-- works, displays video correctly
DirectX <-- video scrambled, brown/purple/other colors mess, but audio works
Enable DirectDraw acceleration
Enable DirectDraw on secondary monitors
Enable Direct3D video acceleration

.mov file plays audio, but no video on win7

A friend sent me some .mov files he recorded with his camcorder and loaded onto his mac. I have tried viewing them on my win7 machine using quicktime, windows media player, and vlc media player. On the first two the audio plays, but no video displays. the vlc player says:No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "m2v1".
Has anyone else seen / worked around this?
Thanks,
Paul

Ask the Mac author to use "delivery" codecs like H.264 video and AAC audio instead of the iMovie editing codecs.

Clicking on Transition and Title browsers causes '11 iMovie crash and projects/events play audio but no video

After several years of working fine, my old iMovie started acting funny. Clicking on the Transition or Title browser would cause it to shut down. I just bought/downloaded the "upgrade" to '11 iMovie, 9.0.4, yesterday, and now, not only does it still do the same thing, but the projects or events won't play any video portion, only the audio.
I'm running 10.6.8 on an iMac

I seem to be having the same problem. I'm running a mac mini and I have like 5 photos, 1 song, and 2 movie clips (not a lot of stuff) in the movie, and when i go to preview it... I see the pictures, and hear the music... but no video.

Burned dvd plays audio but not video

I just completed the first part of a wedding video and it burned fine. I just finished the second part and it looks and plays fine in imovie and idvd preview. However when I burn it and try to play it the dvd will only play the audio. the dvd starts like it's going to be fine, but the video stalls on the first frame and the audio continues. does anyone have any suggestions. I am trying to avoid starting over, but I don't know what else to do. I tried eliminating the first clip in case it was corrupt, but that didn't help.

First thing you might do is in iDVD, use the menu option to "Delete encoded assetts" in case the previous garbage from the last project or burn is messing things up. If that doesn't work here are my standard list of things I do when I have issue or even just before I go to burn a new project...
Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
Reboot your Mac.

Website plays audio but no video

I uploaded an avi file to my website and use Quicktime to play it. However, the video will not play. Any help? Thanks

QT "Player", audio but no video of mov files

So I got this Macbook Pro(10.7.2 Lion) for Christmas and the version of Quicktime that is on it (Version 10.1 (501.5)) will not play some of my old QT mov files. These are files that were made with iMovie on my Macbook.
These files will play on my Macbook (10.5.8) with QT version (7.5.5)
When I try and open the files with the new QT Player in Lion ... I just get audio and no video. The movie inspector shows only audio info and no video info.
Is this a known problem ? Is there a fix?
If not, can I download and run QT 7.5.5 in Lion?
Thanks.
Gary

Thanks!
I actually have a version of VLC somewhere in my collection of apps. Probably not the latest version.
I am just beginning the process of finding out what things didn't make the "migration" from my Macbook_10.5
I am noticing the simularity between the words "migration" and "migraine".
I will check out http://www.macupdate.com/
perhaps they will have a check list of things that are no longer compatible with Lion and possible solutions.

Sound but no Video with AVI Files

I'm pulling avi files recorded using a Tricaster into Premiere. I can hear them but I can't see video.
With Windows Media Player they play fine. I've installed the codec from the Tricaster CD, but it doesn't appear Premiere is using it.
I'm using Premiere CS5. I did this before on a PC I don't have anymore with Premiere CS4 and had no problems.
Help!!
