Quicktime cannot detect divx codec

When I try to run avi files quicktime says that I need to download the divx codec in order for them to work properly. However I have the latest divx installed, and therefore it appears that the programme simply cannot detect it. In the movie inspector they are listed as dx50 type files, if that helps. They play fine in windows media player which also requires the codec so im assuming that its just quicktime messing around. Any help greatly appreciated

Also if you go to http://www.divx.com/en/win and sroll to the bottom of the page and click on Support>Search FAQ's and type in QuickTime where it shows Enter Keyword:, You'll see a Using QuickTime for playback. Which explains Divx does not work with QT for Windows. Myself not a clue I don't have a Divx but it is their own website.

QuickTime alternative DivX codec

Greetings!
I'm dealing with an application that handles movies. The movies I'm currently working on are DivX movies with a “.avi” extension (they are not commercial movies, just some I converted from my camera).
I've installed the DivX 6 Decoder component found in Apple's Codecs page, but it shows the “DivX” logo at the bottom right corner of the movie for several seconds. My movies application, which relies on QuickTime, includes this logo in the final movie and it's, of course, not what I want.
Back in Leopard time, this DivX 6 Decoder component did not include the DivX logo, so I've tried replacing the newer (on my Lion system) by the older (in /Library/QuickTime) but now, QuickTime-related applications randomly crash (including QuickLook). This isn't unexpected, but at least I can transform my movies without this DivX logo.
Now, I'm wondering: could I find a DivX 6 Decoder component that doesn't display the DivX logo in the movie? Other components, like for MPEG or AppleIntermediateCodec, for example, don't make this.

You can try Perian:

Remove the DivX codec first; they cannot coexist without problems. That might decode your DivX files and allow you to export them without the watermark, though I don't know if all versions of DivX are supported.
That's weird, as I already have perian (since several years). Perhaps I should never had to install “DivX Decoder” in the first place (they interfer with each other, as you point out)? Or perhaps Perian doesn't handle my specific files…

If not and you don't want to deal with an external converter, then paying for the Pro codec may be your only other option. This isn't uncommon with codec developers; they provide a playback-only codec for free but if you want to export or convert the format you have to pay. Check with DivX to be sure.
Ok. What I don't understand is why my converter (VisualHub) made DivX files if DivX is so “commercial” (=whose no free Codec exist which don't add watermarks). I just chose the “Avi” option, not DivX.
Thank you.

DivX codec no longer packaged with quicktime?

I have a few old videos that, for whatever reason, are in .avi format, with video encoded using DivX. It appears that the latest version of QuickTime which I "upgraded" to no longer has the codec that allows me to read DivX files. I searched the web and found only DivX 6, which has a price. Now, to say the least, I am somewhat disgruntled by the fact that what I could once watch for free I now must pay something like $15 for. Is there any way to regain my .avi playing abilities, or must I shell out $15 for something I already had?

The Divx Codec, which is included in the trial installation, does not have an expiration date. The other applications, which do expire in six months, are not needed for play of divx video.

DivX Codec issue QT 7 Pro

Have installed DivX Pro 6.4 and all works fine. Installed Quicktime Pro 7 afterwards and all works fine. However when I try and play any DivX files within Quicktime I get told that the Codec is not installed and follow the link back to the DivX site to download them.
I have checked and the DivX files work in Windows Media Player so the Codecs are all there. Why is it that Quicktime cannot see them. I have look around on the apple web site to find assistance on how to install codecs from within Quicktime but cannot find anything that relates to a PC.
Why do I want to do this because I need to get my movie files on to my iPod and believe this is the only way to transfer them correctly

I'm also looking for a way to import a codec into quicktime.

DivX Codec

I am in quite a pickle. I have a digital camera that records video in AVI format, which needs the DivX codec to be played. I think that the audio is recorded in MPEG, I'm not sure. Anyway, without the DivX codec, Quicktime will display a white screen, with the audio only. After I install the DivX codec, Quicktime displays the video, but no sound! How can I get Quicktime to play a DivX AVI with both video and sound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I've installed Perian, and it does the same thing as when I installed DivX. Video, but no sound. I viewed the properties of a video file, and it appears that the video is recorded in XviD, with MP2 for audio. Does Quiktime not play MP2s, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

AVI and DIVX codec

I all,
In my director movie i need to put a movie galery. One of
them movie are in DivX conversion, so i need to be installed a divx
codec in my PC. Are any way to include one xtra do this codec, to
garatee that the video runs in all PCs?
Greetings.

Mike,
You might want to take a look at the file closely, and then decide if you wish to edit it. Know, that if you go to DVD, or any compressed format/CODEC, after the edit, there will be another quality hit.
There are CODEC's that are basically used to play a file, and then those that play, plus allow editing. DivX and Xvid, are in the former group. There could be some editors that will edit DivX, but I do not know of them. PrPro cannot effectively use the DivX CODEC to edit. Some have gotten very lucky, once the CODEC is installed, but usually one looses either the Video, or the Audio. In the cases, where it worked, OOS issues were almost always present.
Good luck,
Hunt

Downloaded DivX codec, now can't play MJPG

Hi,
I've raised this with the DivX folks, but I wanted to see if it's a known issue. I downloaded the latest DivX community codec (6.6.0) and I can play .AVI DivX movies fine now, but when I try to load up some of my old movies taken with an old digital camera, Quicktime Player refuses to start up. (The older movies are MJPG format with araw audio stream.) Removing DivX Decoder.component from /Library/Quicktime allows me to open and play my old movies with no problme.
Are there known problems with this codec, or a workaround other than removing the codec when I don't need it? Is it a problem with Quicktime Player or the codec? I'm on a G5 iMac with OS X 10.3.9.
Thanks,
Montreal

You seem to have answered your own question.
Third party software added to QuickTime can cause issues.
And AVI should have died 8 years ago. Those that use that container are only doing so because it really doesn't have any "standards".

DivX Codec in Compressor

Hi,
How can I use the DivX codec in Compressor. Is it possible? I bought a full version of DivX codec. I can see in only in MPEG Streamclip... maybe that's a clue something is wrong. I dont see it in Quicktime Pro...
Any help /clue ???

The list of components that Compressor can use are in a different place than the Quicktime component list that MPEG Streamclip uses.
MPEG Streamclip is far from better than Compressor, you just have to learn a bit more about the art of compression to get the results you want out of Compressor. But I'm pretty sure there is no plug-in to give you Divx from Compressor.
MPEG Streamclip is just an interface that gives Quicktime more functionality. If Quicktime were way better than Compressor, Compressor wouldn't exist…

FCP cannot detect DV camera

Hello everyone!
I need a little help.I just installed FCP 5.1 on my system and I upgraded it to 5.1.2 thru the software updater. My problem now is that FCP cannot detect my DV camera. iMovie and even the system profiler have no problems detecting the camera.
Whenever I start up FCP, with my camera plugged in via firewire, i get the message :Unable to locate the following external devices - Apple Firewire NTSC. Then whenever i click on log and capture, Final Cut suddenly shuts down. Any ideas on how I can remedy this? Thanks!
iMac G5 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768 MB SDRAM, 250 GB HD

FCP uses QuickTime to do its capturing. You might try reinstalling QuickTime (don't skip any steps). Go to /Library/Receipts. Trash all QuickTime related .pkg files (Don't worry, you're only deleting receipts so that a full install will take place). Go to http://www.quicktime.com/ and download the latest installer and run it. Reboot.

TS1538 Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows.

Hi, I have the problem which iTunes cannot detect my iPhone 4s. I tried the steps you have provided in your troubleshooting, but it won't work for me because the Apple Mobile Devilce is perfectly installed on my windows. However, the driver "Microsoft teredo Tunneling adapter" has a yellow exclamation mark, which i believe means it's not installed correctly or something is wrong with it. This driver is under the Network Adapters (Please see picture below).
This is what happens when I connect my iPhone 4s to my laptop (Windows 7 Starter 32-bit)
1. The phone charges it's battery
2. I can open it in My Computer and import/export media files.
In iTunes
3. It start to sync until step 3 then stops.
4. The iPhone option with an arrow appears beside the iTunes Store, but when the arrow is clicked it disappears.
I hope you can provide me a solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi ralphagir,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For your iTunes issue with it not recognizing your iPhone, I would go ahead and suggest deleting iTunes and all of its components from your Windows computer and installing fresh.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
As far as the arrow button that you click and the iPhone disappears, it sounds like you may be clicking on the eject button. Please take a look at the following article for information on the eject button in iTunes.

I cannot detect my wireless HP desk jet 3520 printer from my iPad?

I can't find an Arris router with that model number, are you sure it is not a TG862?
Regardless, Arris routers are known to either be incompatible with Bonjour or have problems with Bonjour packets hence Airprint will not work. Check with Arris' website and see if there is a firmware update availble for your router for Bonjour/Airprint compatibility and install it or switch out your router.

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.
