QuickTime runs .avi-file with black screen

I've recorded my little daughter with our new digital camera and have loaded it on the computer, but QuickTime run it with black screen and without any sound. clips recorded with my mobile phone are running without any problems.... what can I do?

I tried to open GSpot.exe, but it says:"Error opening Data file C:\Dokumente und.....\emp\wza58c\GSpot27.dat: (where i downloaded it) This file must be available in the current working dir or the .exe dir. Please ensure you are not attempting to run GSpot from inside a ZIP file."
When I click "ok", it says Invalid gspot.dat file:"
sigh
What next?

I can't run .avi files with OS 10.8

Why I don't see .avi files with OS 10.8? Usually I could run .avi files in my iMAC o Mac Book Pro but after I turned to OS 10.7 or 10.8 it was not possible anymore. Some older avi files use to run in Power Point presentations but not the new ones. Anytime that I try appear a sign that refer to there is no valid codec to run the clip.
Thank you.

can anyone help? am running osx 10.9 on macbook
QT X v10.3 only plays JPEG/PCM AVI files natively. Either use QT 7 player (with system configured for appropriate codecs), use a third-party player like VLC (with its own built-in codec support), or convert the files to compression formats like H.264/AAC, MPEG4/AAC, or ProRes/LPCM which are natively supported by the QT X v10.3 player.

Avi files of Excel screen shots and activities on a PC with Camtasia

I'm creating avi files of Excel screen shots and activities on a PC with Camtasia, moving them to FCP5, and converting them to QuickTime movies. I've tried lots of settings at both ends of the process. The clips look great if played on QT pl;ayer or other players and not bad when played in the FCP viewer. They lose a lot of resolution when I move them to the timeline, render them, and view on the canvas. Any idea what settings I should use to get these clips looking really good? Thanks very much.

Ok then. DVD is 720x480, essentially a DV image. But there is a lot you can do to maximixe the process. The idea being that you should maintain the best possible image all the way through the process until you absolutely HAVE to stomp on it. Little incremental quality changes at various stages will drive you crazy if you get a bad result at the end. You'll spend all your time trouble shooting which combinations caused the unacceptable condition. Better to only have one process to mess around with.
First off, what are your output options from camtasia? DO export in QT. Codecs, frame sizes? Frame rate?
Is there an 8 bit uncompressed video codec?
And keep in mind that a full computer screen is NOT 720x480, so that's your first issue right there.
You're going to have to supply us a lot of information for us to be of any real help. Might just start with a pan and pencil and doing short camtasia captures and try putting them in different sequence settings until you find the best combination.
This is not what you want to hear, but I think it's the reality. Sorry not to be more help, but I haven't done one of these in years.

See QuickTimeKirk's response in this thread. You can also try VLC Media Player.
Whichever one you try, just make sure you repair permissions & restart afterwards.

IOS app starts with black screen when compiled via ADT (Flex 4.6, AIR3.7)

I was using Flex 4.6 with AIR 3.1 in Flash Builder 4.6 on Windows 7. I used two build methods: 1) "Export Release Build" in Flash Builder during development and 2) the ADT toolchain on my build server.
For the ADT method I would create AIR intermediate files using:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\FlashBuilderC.exe" --launcher.suppressErrors -noSplash -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -data [PATH_TO_SOURCE] -file [PATH_TO_BUILD_XML] [PROJECT_NAME]
Where my build.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="main">
    <target name="main">
        <fb.exportReleaseBuild project="[PROJECT_NAME]" basefilename="[BASE_FILE_NAME]" verbose="true" destdir="bin-release" />
    </target>
</project>
From these intermediate AIR files I would create my APK and IPA files using ADT like so (shown for iOS):
echo [CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD]|"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0\bin\adt" -package -target ipa-test -provisioning-profile [PATH_TO_MOBILE_PROVISIONING_FILE] -storetype PKCS12 -keystore [PATH_TO_DEV_CERTIFICATE] [OUTPUT_PATH] [PATH_TO_IOS_AIRI]
This procedure produced working iOS and Android apps as well.
I decided to upgrade AIR to version 3.7. I used the overlay proceedure described here (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/how-overlay-air-sdk-flex-sdk.html). I also updated the namespace in my project to reflect the new AIR version. Using "Export Release Build" in Flash Builder produces working copies of both the iOS and Android apps. Furthermore, the secondary method (used on my build server), produces both APK and IPA files without error. The APK works just fine but the IPA does not. When running the app on an Apple device, it starts up with a black screen and stays this way.
To summarize:
Flex 4.6, AIR 3.1: "Export Release Build" and ADT tool chain produce working APK and IPA files.
Flex 4.6, AIR 3.7 using overlay procedure: "Export Release Build" produces working APK and IPA files, ADT tool chain produces working APK file but IPA file loads black screen on Apple devices.
More notes:
I had made a back up of the "4.6.0" directory that holds the Flex and AIR SDK files. If I replace the overlayed Flex 4.6.0 SDK directory with the original (which contains AIR 3.1) and revert the namespace back to 3.1 in my project, everything goes back to normal and I get working apps via both methods described above.
Edit: I also should note that I've tried many other combinations of Flex and AIR (Flex 4.9.1 from Apache and AIR 3.5/3.6), which all produce the same issue. It seems that the overlay procedure breaks something for ADT with iOS specifically...
Edit 2: I also noticed that the IPA files output by methods 1 and 2 are slightly different. Opening these with 7-Zip I see that most of the files are the same, but some differ slightly in size (this was due to 'ipa-test' vs 'ipa-ad-hoc'). The odd thing is that in the IPA file that does not work (produced via the ADT method), the SWF file is named "swf3465180827438224920.tmp" while the SWF in the IPA that was created using "Export Release Build is named "[PROJECT_NAME].swf". It almost appears as though ADT fails to rename the temporary SWF file. I also realized that the "Export Release Build" method likely used '-target ipa-ad-hoc', so I tried this in the ADT method with the same result.
Any thoughts?

Hello Nimit,
Thank you for your response. I have tried AIR 3.8 Beta and this did not correct the problem. I downloaded the AIR 3.7 SDK from http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/latest/AdobeAIRSDK.zip . I have also tried with the new compiler as well, with the same result.
To keep things simple, I've created a very lightweight example with which I see the issue. I've also been able to remove the Flash Builder step and reproduce the problem with mxmlc and adt only. Since the files are simple, I will just post them here.

Create the above files in a single directory. Run the following to get a working IPA (method 1):
> mxmlc +configname=airmobile TestApp.mxml
> adt -package -target ipa-test -provisioning-profile [PROVISIONING_FILE] -storetype pkcs12 -keystore [CERTIFICATE] TestApp.ipa TestApp-app.xml TestApp.swf
To reproduce the problem, run the following (method 2):
> mxmlc +configname=airmobile TestApp.mxml
> adt -prepare TestApp.airi TestApp-app.xml TestApp.swf
> adt -package -target ipa-test -provisioning-profile [PROVISIONING_FILE] -storetype pkcs12 -keystore [CERTIFICATE] TestApp.ipa TestApp.airi
If you unpack the working IPA (from method 1) you will see the file "TestApp.ipa\Payload\TestApp.app\TestApp.swf". However, if you likewise inspect the IPA created via the AIR intermediate method (method 2), you will see the file "TestApp.ipa\Payload\TestApp.app\swf1970057761096800694.tmp" and there will be no "TestApp.swf". In both IPA files, if we inspect "TestApp.ipa\Payload\TestApp.app\Info.plist", we see the snippet:
        <key>CTInitialWindowTitle</key>
        <string>TestApp</string>
        <key>CTInitialWindowContent</key>
        <string>TestApp.swf</string>
        <key>CTMaxSWFMajorVersion</key>
        <string>20</string>
        <key>CFBundleSupportedPlatforms</key>
So I suspect "TestApp.ipa\Payload\TestApp.app\swf1970057761096800694.tmp" is incorrectly named, cannot be found at runtime and thus displays a black screen.
This problem is observed when using AIR 3.7. It is not observed when using AIR 3.1.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
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.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
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 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.

Bootup with Black Screen and No Light from Keyboard

I did an update on my Mac tonight and it rebooted. My MacBook Air is set up reboot from bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional. There was the blinking cursor and then the Microsoft loading up green horizontal progress bar. Then the ready to use music was played but the whole screen went out with keyboard having no light. It seems that windows was booted up all right but there is a problem with the screen driver or something. How can I fix this?
I had this problem before when Windows 7 on bootcamp did a recent update about a week ago. The screen went dark - same problem. I went into Mac side to run my latest Parallel version. It booted up Windows & fine but the wimdows was not recognized as genuine. I called Microsoft and got the key to re-actuvate Windows fine with driver updates. Then when I rebooted from bootcamp, Winodws 7 came on all right like I had before windows update.
Now I cannot resolve the second time with black screen as the windows 7 was genuine when I open windows 7 with Parallel on Mac side. I do not know how to fix it now. Please advise and help.

Hey Rollino,
Sounds like you're in the "firmware trap" There were a lot a sites about this but this appears to have most of the info/procedures:
http://www.macintouch.com/panfirmware.html
The main trick is to use an external monitor and reinstall the firmware altho' some of the other tricks might help.
BTW Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Good luck.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Import DV AVI Files with 5.1 Audio

To my surprise, Encore would not import DV AVI files from Premiere with 5.1 Audio. I much prefer to do my transcoding in Encore rather than in Premiere so I don't have to guess how much disk space will remain after menus and other content. Also, I think Encore transcoding is more efficient than Premiere.
Yet, cheaper and less sophisticated applications such as Nerovision will import DV AVI files with 5.1 audio, and give you 5.1 DVD's.
Which leads to another question, why does a cheaper application just give you the Dolby Digital 5.1 Audio, while a fee has to be paid to Surcode to get it in the Adobe applications?

You cannot create a 5.1 Dolby Digital file in Encore, so the answer is an emphatic "YES" to the planning & budgeting.
You really should be doing this anyway, as it is a real eye opener. There are some superb Excel spreadsheet bit budgeting tools, as well as a simple enough manual method. It should be detailed in the FAQ.
As far as DTS goes, you'll need an encoder again. The only plugin version I am aware of is for Steinberg's Nuendo & Cubase systems, but both DTS and SurCode make them.
The SurCode DTS-DVD encoder is dated now - 5 years or so - and the Nuendo one sounds better. Having said that, the DTS-PSE sounds even better, as well as having DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 capability (both of which are DVD Legal).
Even better are the soon-to-be-released DTS-HD SAS & MAS encoders.
These are primarily for the Blue-ish type discs, but also cater for so-called "legacy" encoding as well, and the detail is even better than the DTS-PSE version. You can hear the difference in the detail where the top end sounds more natural & open. Whatever version you get will make Dobly Dirgital sound dull & muddy by comparison.
Quality can be improved by feeding the encoder with 24 bit audio too - this also applies to Dolby Digital.
Bitrates for DTS are either 754 kb/sec or 1509 kb/sec, and come in 2 flavours:
Compact (.cpt) and Padded (.dts) - either can use the lower bitrate, and there is no difference in audio quality between the CPT and DTS flavours. I recommend using the higher bitrate personally.
Both types are supported in Passthrough mode in Encore - that is to say they import, and multiplex correctly but cannot be previewed.
Hope this helps.

4s bricked after trying new update, stuck with black screen with apple logo how can i fix this

Update bricked my 4s
phone , stuck with black screen with apple logo ..
how can I fix this

Greetings r1042,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone is not booting up past the Apple logo. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Have a great day,
Joe

How to run two files with same url- urgent

hi,
i created two servlet page and both are working very fine.but at same time i only able to run one file with same url. Is possible to run two or more file at same time with same url name..
if you r not understanding what i want to ask then, i have two file names under helloWeb directory
1) helloWorld.java(servletname s1, url /man)
2) helloWeb.java (servletname s2,url /man)
to run - http://localhost:7001/helloWeb/man - it runs very first file which is added to deployment module.
so i want to know how i can run both file with same url, for this what i have to pass on my address bar.
plz help me i m wating
<b></b>

Hi,
We can give same url mapping to both Servlets but we can access the servlet which is entered first in web.xml because whenever we send a request to the webserver then webserver look at the elements in web.xml file one by one.
When it finds the corresponding url mapping then immediately sends the response to the client.The same url mapping for the next element will be ignored.
I think there is no possibility to access both servlets with same url.
