QUICKTIME TO AVI

When converting a Quicktime file (2.3GB) to avi and burning it to a disk it seem to be ok no issues or error when burning. But when I try to play int in a PC it will not play and gives me an error saying
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.
Any Ideas?
Thanks Rolly

Here is what I am doing.
I load a movie file from a video camera to Imovie.
I get the Quicktime file from this project and convert it to .avi using Quicktime Pro. I burn that file to a disk using Toast8 as a data file for pc only.
This process worked for a file that was about 1GB in size but will not work on a larger file.
So I wonder if the file size is the issue.
Also Quicktime Pro is using Cinepac as the compression program
Hope this sheads some light on the subject.

Can only save 32768 colors in quicktime and avi

Hi,
I am using a variation of the JpegImagesToMovie program to store int[] arrays of pixels to quicktime and avi movies. I created a test movie with frames of size 256x256 such that each from contains a gradient of black to white from the top downwards. Since there are 256 shades of grey, I expected a perfectly smooth gradient; however, it only created 32 shades of grey (meaning, it is only using 5-bits of each color channel, hence only 32768 colors total). I set the format as:
      format = new RGBFormat(
          new Dimension(width, height),
          this.length = width*height,
          int[].class,
          frameRate,
          32,
          0x00ff0000,
          0x0000ff00,
          0x000000ff,
          1,
          width,
          Format.FALSE,
          RGBFormat.BIG_ENDIAN);and I am created the colors as:
data[index] = (red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue; where red, green and blue are ints equal to the y-coordinate of the pixel I am setting.
I also tried specifying 24-bit color as opposed to 32-bit. Has any one else seen this effect? Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Mike

Hi again,
Turns out all I needed was to set the compression format as so:
TrackControl tcs[] = processor.getTrackControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < tcs.length; i++) {
      TrackControl c = tcs;
Format f = c.getFormat();
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
for(int j = 0; j < fmt.length; j++) {
if ("MPG4".equals(fmt[j].getEncoding())) {
c.setFormat(fmt[j]);
Thanks anyway,
- Mike

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.

Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
-Lew

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

Quicktime skips AVIs but after restart it does not

I have a Quicktime codec that lets me play avi movies. Sometimes, the movies get jerky and skip a lot. But everytime I restart, there is no problem, even with big files. What is the problem? and how to solve it?

I am having the same problem. I started to install the software last night, and was also prompted to connect the iPod to format. When I checked my computer this morning at 7am, it was still formatting. I started installing the software last night around 8pm.
I searched the support and found this somewhat helpful.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300286
Although, it only states that it will take "some" time. I honestly don't think it should take 12 hours!
Please help us, thank you!

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.

QuickTime convert .avi to .mov with OS X Mavericks

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

Quicktime to .AVI for "Digital Photo Frames?"

Hello,
I am trying to re-encode a quicktime movie to run on a Philips Digital Photoframe Model SPF5010. Confusingly it states in the manual that the frame will play .mov files in M-JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 or H.263.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to use compressor to solve this problem. Compressor does not do .AVI correct?

Hi,
Compressor can convert your files into formats like MPEG 1 or 4. Look into the *Settings tab > Apple > Formats*.
.mov indicates the type of codec wrapper, Quicktime that is. AVI is the codec wrapper for Windowz.
Compressor can create AVI's.
Just [read this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12486850&#12486850].
Hope this helps,

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.

Convert quicktime to avi or mpeg 2

I have made a short movie with FCE. The client wants it on disc in either AVI or MPEG 1 or 2. Have tried exporting to quicktime and then saving as AVI, but it saves as .mov What am I doing wrong?
Any help much appreciated

Hi again, I have now managed to change it from .mov to .avi by simply going to the hard drive, selecting it and changing the extension.
I have one other problem though, my file is 15 seconds long - 28.3 MB and so quality is not brilliant. The client will allow the file to get up to 600MB. How can I increase the size, and therefore quality of my video?
Do I have to go back to FCE?
Thanks in advance

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 plays .avi DivX sound, black blank window

Hiya!
I've got issues...
Before my Quicktime worked fine with all video file formats.
Suddenly, it stopped playing certain files correctly.
I got the latest DivX and Xvid codecs, as well as well as
that Perian software. Still, When I try to play certain DivX
.avi files, Quicktime will play sound, but no picture - just
a black blank window. Instead, DivX player 2.0 for macintosh
works fine.
I'd still like to use Quicktime. What should I get / do?
Thanks in advance!
VM.

Perian asks you to get rid of similar codecs. Try moving out the codecs except Perian and try again.

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.
