QuickTime unsyncs sound last minutes on AVI files converted to AppleTV

Hi! I'm sitting up in Sweden with a problem I hope someone has answer to. I realize I'm not the only one in Sweden with this from other discussions groups.
I convert AVI files with QuickTime pro. for my AppleTV. When Playing, at the end of the files / film (5-8 minutes) Sound doesn't sync with image, which is veeeery annoying of course.
I hoped this would go away with Leopard but no no.
I've got an 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB mem. Quick Time is up to date as well.
Any clues for us northen Mac fanatics?

PRoblem getting solved with Leopard update...

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....

Sound problems with an .avi file?

Hello all,
I am working on a presentation where there is a background
loop .wav and some .avi files. When the .avi files have audio I am
dropping the volume of the loop. I made the loop a new sound with
the code below and set up a global so that I could properly target
the sound. The code is below.
// set up the global so that bgMusic can be targeted from
other scenes
_global.musicTimeLine = this;
// make a new Sound called bgMusic
// loopwav is the linked name of the .wav file
bgMusic = new Sound();
bgMusic.attachSound("loopwav");
bgMusic.start();
trace(bgMusic.getVolume());
I then drop the volume on the frames with .avi movies with
audio with:
// drop the volume of bgMusic
musicTimeLine.bgMusic.setVolume(20);
Does anyone know why this is also affecting the audio in the
.avi file? Thanks to anyone who can help!
EW

It may be because new Sound() is a global sound controller.
Meaning that it will affect any and all sounds within your movie.
Try associating the Sound with a movieclip. For example,
bgMusic = new Sound(this);
Then changing properties of the bgMusic sound object should
only affect the sounds in that movieclip and not globally.
Also, not sure if this is true for FLV and MP3 files brought
in using the FLV component.

Quicktime wont allow me to play .avi files

The problem i am having is quicktime is not allowing me to play my films i have on my hard drive their file type is .avi when i try to open the movie with quicktime i get a black screen and no sound. The reason i want to use quicktime and not just any media software is it cuts out letterboxes and i find the picture quality very good. I have installed divx and 3ivx to see if it made a difference. After installing 3ivx quicktime plays the videos now but still have the problem of no sound. Is there a soloution to this problem? I am very greatfull for any response.

Hi, I could not see my AVI movies either (they are HD taken with a Fujida HD-6T camera). I have Quicktime Version 10.0 (90.3.1), iPhoto version 8.1 (415) and Mac OS 10.6.2.
I downloaded Perian 1.1.4 and I can now see my movies BUT they have no sound!?!
I can see and hear the sound with VLC but NOT with Quicktime.
Anyone has any pointers???
Thx in advance

Can't get sound to play ib .avi files

I have a Supacam DVX camera I bought at MacWorld '06. It records well and I am able tp play in VLC, but I can't get the sound to play in Quicktime or imovie. Any help is appreciated.

That's odd. MPEG-4 shouldn't be a problem at all.
Open the file in QuickTime and hit (Command-I) to bring up the information on how this file was encoded (both video and audio).
You may find some tips here:

Quicktime 10 will not open DVPAL AVI files even with QT7 Player!

I own a 2011 Mac Mini with OSX 10.6.7 on it. I have 2 Video files that are DVPAL encoded AVIs. THey are purely video, no embedded audio at all. Upon attempting to load them into Quicktime 10 - they would not import - I get the error message:
could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.
I click the more info, and since then I have downloaded and installed Perian versian 1.22 - xvid, divx, all the components I can find. One at a time, all at once, various ways, repaired disk permissions on all occasions and still it refused to open.
I then installed QT7 from the OSX disk. But this also refused to open the files. Interestingly enough, VLC media will play them, but Mpeg Stream Clip does not!
I've tried everything that ive read on the web, does anyone else have any ideas on how to get round this? I need it to work somehow, as I work with Pro Tools 9 and that needs quicktime to open and import video files!

I agree with your advice to wait for another update.
I see you also have cinepak issues (another string)
An important aside:
buried in the installer legalese (that we all tend to blow through) is a note that the MPEG2 plugin has been updated for 7.6. You get the updated plugin by going to the Apple Store, signing in, go to your account-- software purchases. There you will find the matching MPEG2 updater.

Missing Audio / Sound in imovie with .AVI files when imported from iphoto

fortunately i don't need this answered, eventually figured it out my self, just thought it would be helpful to share the solution to this problem as I'm sure others have experienced it. The problem makes more sense when explained chronologically.
My wife has a Casio digital camera, and had recorded many Movies on it, they all sat in iPhoto all worked fine until i upgraded to Quicktime 7.5, then the audio disappeared. i tried in vain to fix (reinstalled QT 7.5, removed plugins, reinstalled etc.), but to no avail, so i left it - this was all under Tiger, i decided I'd upgrade to Leopard and see if the problem went away.
Before upgrading to Leopard i got iLife 08, when i first launched iMovie08 it pulled in all the movies from iPhoto, but they too had no sound.
Then i upgraded to Leopard, now the quicktime missing audio issue got fixed, so i could hear the audio again when launching quicktime via iPhoto (turns out the issue was with how quicktime was handling adaptive PCM audio stream) - i expected all would be fine in iMovie... but it wasnt.
after much experimentation i realised that i had to force iMovie to re-import all the video from iPhoto, this fixed the issue, but with no obvious way to do this, this is what i did:
- opened finder, navigated to iphoto library, right click and chose 'show package contents'
- navigated to the data folder and did a search on this folder only for all movie files (when imovie had originally converted iPhoto movie files into thumbnails it dropped all the thumb size movie files in this folder)
- deleted all the movie files from the Data folder, making sure not to delete the movie files in any other folders & emptied trash
- launched imovie, now all the iphoto movies were missing.
- re-launch iPhoto, whilst holding down shift, option + command keys
- checked 'rebuild the iphoto library database' only, once done, closed iphoto
- re-launched imovie, this forced it to re-import all the movies from iphoto
... and then the sound was back.
FYI
this worked when using...
OS 10.5.4
QT 7.5
iMovie 7.1.4
iPhoto 7.1.4

Hi MGW,
I do not no how things are handled when using HDV and technical documentation is hard to find on this topic of how photo are handled using HDV but in iMovie and most non HDV video editing software the picture is always 72ppi regardless of what is was/is on the outside and the images that appear the worst are the ones with less.
On a side note I don't use iPhoto because of all the superfluous files and thumbnails it creates and it disorganises my photos according to criteria that is completely irrelevant to me. I have had these thumbnails pop up in the browser in the past primarily with any photos that existed in the library prior to any updates. With what I have been working on as of late can understand how and why this could happen.
If you scroll through the media browser dose it appear that the library you are working with duplicates itself somewhere along the line or do you see double images side by side?
What are you machine specs and please include you screen/display size and graphics card information as this is the most relevant information at this point with what you are doing.

Windows Media Player no sound while playing a avi file in server and client connection using TCP/IP connection

Hello there
I have a problem with my windows media player while using server and client connection by using TCP/IP connection. So when I play a video using Windows Media Player in LabVIew there isn't any sound come out but when I'm playing a video by a Windows Media Player only the sound will come out. Can you help me solve this problem?
I also upload the vi as the reference.
The username for the client is ihsanhaikalz and the password is ganteng
Thanks

Hi ican,
I was looking at your VI's but I cannot seem to pinpoint exactly where you are using Windows Media Player. In order to more quickly assist you, could you please recreate this issue more concisely in a smaller set of VIs. Also, were you able to get sound when you did not use the TCP/IP connection and simply played the files in LabVIEW?
I noticed in a few places that you were using the Play Sound File.VI from the Graphics and Sounds palette. Is that what you are refering to? I noticed there that the file path that you have designated for the song is simply the song title. Instead, this should be a path to where the song is located on your computer.
Also, if you are planning on using Windows Media Player, have you considered using the ActiveX commands for Windows Media Player? Here are a few examples if you are unfamiliar with this functionality.
Example 1 and Example 2.
I hope this helps!

.avi file converted to MPEG4 but problem

Yes I was able to add a .mov ext to it but the video is not showing up. It was created on a PC using Tony Hawk helmet cam. I would like to use these clips to make low quality video of my bike rides etc.
As I said, I get audio but the Quicktime video pane is blank (white screen). Are there any tricks to converting it to any Quicktime format that would make the video appear? I can tell it has large amounts of data as it should (28mb) for a 4 minute video. When I initially uploaded it from the network, I proceeded to open it and Quicktime pro notified me that I needed a plugin and directed me to the plugins and update page you find in the Quicktime preferences pane when you click the update tab. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Martin J. Estrada

I finally rec'd QuickTime for the web and it's accompanying CD. I installed it in OS 9, restarted, and had the option of converting the .avi to multiple different formats including .mp4 and .mov. After registering it and activating it I converted the file to .mov then transferred it to my eMac and imported it to iMovie where I was able to adjust the sound track to be in sync with the video track.
Thank you so much for all your interest QTK and especially Dick. You guys pointed me in the right direction and really trouble shot this problem. It was not a cheap fix and I sorta wish this stuff just worked but I will read the book and derive as much as I can from it to utilise in QT and iMovie.
I forgot to mention that QT Pro 6 was a casualty of a crashed HD two summers ago. I had no record of the key. Apple recognized that I legitimately had a right to it but was unable to provide it because it had been phased out by the time I went to reinstall it. They provided at no charge a key for QT Pro 7 instead.
Thanks again,

No sound for AVI files with Quicktime

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to fix this problem.
I upgraded to Quicktime 7.5 and quickly found that I cannot get audio/sound out of my AVI files (most are short clips taken with my Casio Exlim Digital Camera). I tried installing Perian, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling QT, and that didn't work. I tried repairing disk permissions and that didn't work. Finally, I thought perhaps I had a bad AppleIntermediateCodec file. I downloaded version 1.0.1 from Apple, but it won't let me load it - acts like its an update to an existing file, but the file is not on my system. Here is the contents of my Library/Componets folder:
A52Codec.component

I am the admin on the system, but I have two other accounts for my sons. Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what I should do next? Thanks.

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.
Now, my Library/Components folder is empty. My Library/QuickTime folder has the following:
3ivxVideoCodec.component

No sound with certain .avi files

Hi there,
I have installed the latest divX codec, but for some reason certain .avi files play but have no sound.
Movie Inspector showed this: "Format: DivX 6.0, 672x288, unknown 'ms', Stereo, 48000 kHz"
VLC can play the file, but I'd like to be able to watch it in Frontrow.
thanks in advance

It is most likley a problem in the new Quick Time (QT). My Updater downloaded the new QT 7.4.5 two Saturdays ago. I have been making movies in iMovie then posting them to YouTube. In the beginning I uploaded the movies as MOVs but soon discovered AVI files (larger file and added time to upload) had more clarity when viewed on YouTube. Once the new QT 7.4.5 downloaded all my AVIs had picture, but no sound! I downloaded the Perian component as posted in QT discussions. The sound returned to the AVI files. However, when I Exported an AVI movie from iMovie the picture quality was worse than MOV. There is something wrong with the new QT 7.4.5 when working with AVI, my AVI movies look terrible. These AVI files were all downloaded from my Ultra Flip Video camera with Flip’s codec 3vix. Flip is aware of this problem and acknowledged it last week, I sure hope Apple is also aware.

Avi files on quicktime version 7.2

I have recently downloaded the latest version of quicktime and can no longer play .AVI files there is just a white screen and no sound. I did previously have the xvid codec but this has also been updated and when downloaded it just makes quicktime crash immediately.
Any advice welcome, Please note that I am still in the dark ages and running on 10.3.9.

It is bad enough getting my head around the fact I need add-ons just to watch something without QT doing this! Even setting movie default players as VLC/Realplayer etc makes no impression!
Any advice appreciated!
If you really plan to muck about with AVI files, then you need learn how to determine what compression formats were used to create them, how to search for the needed components, and learn to live with disappointment. AVI is a file container -- not a compression format. It was not designed by Apple which only programmed QT to recognize the container. Even the file originator, Microsoft, formally dropped AVI support a decade ago when they switched to Windows Media. In addition, if this is an internet download, the error message could equally mean that you don't have the required codec for playback or that the file was improperly terminated either when created/closed or when uploaded/closed to the internet -- a common form of file corruption frequently associated with such indiscriminate file distribution which other media players may (or may not) ignore. The fact that third-party players won't play the file would seem to indicate the file in question is most likely corrupted.

How to play avi files in quicktime

I am transferring all my files to my mac from pc. How do I enable quicktime 7 pro to play my avi files???

As you are not only switching from pc to mac, but also intel, a couple of suggestions from one intel mac user to another:
1) Download the DivX for intel beta here:
http://labs.divx.com/node/76
Installing should allow your QT player to function well with most codecs that you commonly find which use the .avi container - it's helped me quite a bit.
2) Download and install the Flip4Mac component for Quicktime here:
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm
This is an alternative for those pesky WMV files you need to play. Keep in mind that although the component installs and works on your intel mac, it is not yet optimized, so you need to run QT under rosetta in order to see the functionality of the flip4mac component. The intel mac version is on the horizon, hopefully sooner rather than later.
3) Download iSquint or likewise another conversion app. I'm offering up iSquint for now since it is free, easy and universal. You might opt for ffmpegX, MPEG Streamclip or others, but these do not run natively on your machine at this time, and you might find them a little confusing. iSquint will read pretty much any kind of codec and container combo, and it does quick conversions to mp4/H.264 files that your QT Player will recognize...
http://www.isquint.org/
4) Download and install the latest build of VLC for intel mac:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/macosx-intel/
The latest build of this player has been rocking along nicely for me on the intel machine, and VLC is a great alternative for those video files you come across that just don't want to play in other video apps.
