Since I upgraded to Mavericks I cannot play .AVI files in Aperture

Hi, I have about 1 Tera of .AVI videos as referenced files to Aperture libraries that I have spent long time organizing, tagging, and keywording... Since I upgraded to Mavericks I cannot play these videos any longer. I can play them with VLC or DivX but not within Aperture. Is there any way to ask Aperture to use VLC to play the videos? Or to get Quicktime to play them within Aperture? I assume I am not the only one with this problem but haven't found any way to solve it.
Thanks a lot for any hint!

Hi, I have about 1 Tera of .AVI videos as referenced files to Aperture libraries that I have spent long time organizing, tagging, and keywording..
It is probably not a question of avi or mov. AVI is just a container for media with a variaty of codecs. It will depend on the codecs you installed, if Aperture will be able to show these.
What is your Aperture version? Have you upgraded to Aperture 3.5.1? My Aperture version has no problems to show my AVIs. I installed Perian 1.2.3 to have more codecs.

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks I cannot play DVD's using my projector.

    Hello, I have a Mac Air, and use an external DVD player, it works unless I plug the projector in at the same time.
    The DVD player and the projector worked together just fine with Mountain Lion. What is the problem?
    I'm assuming it's Mavericks...
    The DVD player is connected via USB and the projector is connected via thunderbolt.
    Thanks for any help.

    Found this!
    In Preferences System : Monitor, if i select « Optimisé pour Epson PJ » (my OS is in french), then, my computer's screen resolution changes (in gets narrower, with black stripes on both sides) but not the resolution of the projector.
    I found that when using this configuration, the window of the movie - in DVD Player - does not disappear.
    Hope it helps!

  • Leopard cannot play .avi files (MJPG format)

    After installing Leopard, I cannot play .avi files (MJPG format) using Quicktime. These files work without a hitch on my other Mac that has Tiger. I've tried Perian.org, DIVX, VLN player, Windows media player, WMV player etc. Something went awry after installing Leopard.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Re-install the Flip4Mac QuickTime Component then open System Preferences/Flip4Mac, click the Player Tab and check the "Open AVI files" box. Restart your browser and try again.

  • Quicktime version 7.1.3 for Mac cannot play AVI file

    The AVI file actually "plays" as in, the bar moves, but there is just a white screen, and no sound. I have checked the movie info and it shows that the format is ", 640 x 360, Thousands MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 44.100 kHz". I have totally no idea what that means, and why the file cannot play. It plays perfectly well on a Windows computer which shows that the file is not corrupted.
    I have also followed the suggestion made in one of the earlier discussions and downloaded Perian. However, when I clicked on the "AppleIntermediateCodec.component" file, I only got a message that says "Error Opening Movie: The movie cannot be opened." So, Perian seems to be another dead-end for me.
    Incidentally, I have also tried playing the AVI file with Windows Media Player for Mac. The message is that the file format is invalid.
    Any suggestions as to how I can coax my Mac to play the AVI file?

    The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
    Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
    The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.

  • Maverick unable to play avi files

    i updated my Mac Pro today to mavericks and now i can't view avi files or anything other than mp4 with quick view, using the space bar. need help

    The best way to solve this problem is by downloading VLC media player. You will find problem even installing Perian or QuickTime 7 because many videos will  not play in these media player. So to solve this problem download VLC from "http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html"

  • Cannot play AVI file with Quicktime 7.3.1

    Apple Discussions!
    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.

  • Cannot play .avi files (no image or sound)

    Hi, I have the latest update for Quicktime: QuickTime™ Version 7.7 (1680.28).
    When I open an .avi file in the application, only the image and sound are disabled, the rest seems to work correctly.
    What should I do?
    -Thank you in advance.

    AVI can contain all kinds of codecs, many of which Quicktime doesn't understand. To add AVI functionality you need the free Perian codecs, or us an alternative player such as mpegstreamclip or VLC.
    I'm puzzled. If the image and sound are both disabled, what is there left to play correctly?

  • Cannot play avi files from my samsung digimax i5

    Hello y'all. I can't seem to play any of my avi files from this camera in quicktime. I have done some research and it seems I can view them on a vlc player which is fine. But how will I create movies in imovie and idvd when quicktime can't read them. It seems that there was a codec to download which I have but there is still no sound, just a picture. Can anyone help?

    You may be able to get the audio to play by using this freeware but no guarantees:
    http://www.3ivx.com/divxdoctor/
    If the Doctor can't fix it you may want to open one of these videos in QT and then use the MovieInfo window to reveal the compression methods used for audio and video. Post those and perhaps someone will have more info on how to get the audio decompressor.

  • I cannot play .avi files althought i have perian and flip4mac!

    i downloaded a movie and i cant play it with quicktime althought i have perian and flip4mac, help please

    Some AVIs require codecs for audio, video, or both which aren't available on a Mac. If Perian can't handle a specific AVI, there probably isn't any Mac OS X software which will.

  • Cannot play .avi files from USB Flash Memory UHYB-064GH

    Hi,
    I have recently bought a 64gb Toshiba Flash Memory Drive (Stick). It's model UHYB-064GH.
    Straight out of the box I plugged the USB drive into my Windows PC.
    I'm running Windows Vista.
    I tried to transfer a number of .avi video files to the device, taking up about 10gb of space.
    I tried running the files (using VLC player) straight from the flash drive. Most of the files wouldn't play.
    Only one did but it only played the first 8 seconds of a near 2 hour film.
    The counter in the corner only showed the film to be 8 seconds long?!
    However the properties section of the file confirmed it was a 1.6gb, 2 hour film...?
    I transferred the same video files to a different (old) drive I have and found that it worked fine.
    The drive is a FAT32 one.
    I don't really know much about these things so would be grateful for any advice
    Tom

    Try to format the USB flash memory in NTFS format.
    The FAT file format supports files up to 4GB but the NTFS format supports bigger sizes.

  • Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

    Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto.  Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
    All other internet email activities work just fine.

    And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way?  There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
    THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".
