Quiktime 7.7 plays no sound with .AVI files

Quiktime used to play sound for my .avi files, but no longer does.

After the install of Perian 1.1 drag the AC3 codec out of the folder it is in as Perian handles AC3. BTW AC3 is Dolby Digital codec for audio and not the problem with an AVI file.

No sound with avi files

I have Quicktime 7.2 as well as DivX Player. I have also downloaded FlashPlayer and Flip4Mac
But I cannot read properly some avi videos. Some work very well but I don't have the sound (but I do have the image). What do I need to do???
Thanks
Manu

Install the VLC Media Player, repair permissions & restart.

I have no sound with avi file

Evidently there is some codec missing that Quicktime needs to play avi files in Snow Leopard. Anyone know what it is or how to get it? VLC is fine, but I prefer the functionality of Quicktime Pro and would like to be able to view avi files there. Thanks!

No sound with .avi in QT

Because I'm having the same problem, I've seen lots of posts on the issue of not having sound when playing some .avi files in QT (Pro) 7.0.4. I got Pro to be able to convert movies to the iPod video format and was REALLY frustrated and upset that it didn't work. Apple should really work on this version to allow it to play mp3 sound with variable bit rates (which I think is what another post said was causing the problem). If WMP can figure it out, Apple should or else they're just losing their edge (totally saying this to try to get some Apple person angry enough to fix it). In any case, I tried a bunch of different things and nothing worked. VideoDub won't work because for some reason the Video for Windows codec I downloaded and installed isn't being recognized. I also downloaded a trial version of a converter created specifically for this purpose(made by Cucusoft), but I keep getting error messages and installing their codecs doesn't help. Right now I'm trying the Videora iPod Converter and so far (fingers crossed, knock on wood) everything is going ok--certainly better than any other attempts. And the best thing? It's FREE.

If anyone has any way to make it work in QT 7.0.4, I'd rather use it as I paid for it and it's more integrated with iTunes which probably means it would be easier to use in the long run. Otherwise, hopefully Apple will get on this ASAP.

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Playing 3 or 4 avi files in succession ? Can't do !

how do i simply play 3 or 4 avi files in succession, not all at once ?
Seems like a simple request. Win Movie Player does it. Nothing in QT Pro
manual about this simple (I thought) task ?? And then perhaps repreat
the sequence.

QT is designed primarily for the simultaneous playback of multiple tracks or movies. The player app does not contain any internal "playlist" capabilities as such.

Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. There are several ways to do this. You could, for instance,
1) If the AVI compression formats are compatible with iTunes/your QT component configuration, you could place the audio and video data in an MOV file container, add them to iTunes, and place them in an playlist for playback.
2) You could create an Automator app which would play multiple AVI files or folders/subfolders of AVI files (in MOV containers) dropped on the app in a sequential manner.
3) You could create a "reference" movie (i.e., a pseudo "playlist) whose pointers point the the AVI files you want played in the order desired.
4) Use an alternative third-party player which includes an internal playlist.
And then perhaps repreat the sequence.
Easy, simply save the "Reference" movie mentioned above with the "Loop" option set.
In short there are many ways to do what you want. However, only you can decide which is the simplest for your purpose.

Quicklook doesn't work with .avi files

Hello, i've got a little problem right here on my mac. The thing is that I used to have Snow Leopard as a OS and quicklook used to work great, it opened all the extensions I used to work with. The thing change when I format my HDD and installed a clean copy of Lion OS. Now quicklook works fine as it used to but not any more with .avi files. I remember that this feature was working great on my previous OS, and it's really important for me to find a solution because quicklook is an absolutely amazing feature of our Macs.
I've tryed to download plugins, restoring permissions or even trying it with a guest user, but no success.
Please help me. If you need more info about specs or something i'll be glad to give them to you.
Thank you!!!

Also doesn't work with Grapher (.gcx) documents (an Apple format).

Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you

How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

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:

file.temp

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:

No sound on AVI files with QT 7.5

Hi,
I have a bunch of avi files and only a few of them have sound. They all worked fine before I downloaded the newest version of quicktime. Any suggestions? I was the pacifist option but I am not sure I know how to remove/install the downgraded version
Thanks for the help!

I've got the same problem. None of my AVI files now play sound after applying all software updates (also pushing me up to QuickTime 7.5).
I only found this out after burning some to a DVD and discovering there was no sound on the disc.
The AVI files play perfectly in VLC 0.8.6h. Do I assume something has got screwed up with QuickTime?

JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

Hi,
I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
play any sound.
I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

I discovered the same problem too..
I think it is a general Format problem.
When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
This track was a video track, no audio at all.
Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..

Export to DV needed to keep sound for AVI files burned with iDVD

I have recently found out that in order to have sound throughout the DVDs that I burn, I must first convert AVI files to DV. This however distorts wide screen video files, thus I am wondering one of two things; the first being if I can convert the files to another type that will not distort the picture and two if there is a way to convert AVI files to DV without changing the picture at all.

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).

Mail doesn't play any sound with new Gmail emails

I just signed for a Gmail account but I see it works in a someway different manner from the other email accounts I have. I noticed that Mail shows me a new incoming email almost immediately since I click send from another account, that's a good thing, but unfortunately it doesn't play any sound, like instead it does when I receive emails on the other accounts.
any suggestions?

I have noticed with 10.6.x Mail doesn't make sounds when receiving/sending Mail when you first launch it. However if I leave it open (just minimize it) and let it run and Mail goes get new email sound suddenly makes the sounds. I am still trying to figure out why it is happening (on both of my Macs). If you get any idea please share it because I would like to know also.
