Do you mean that you have no "video" yet sound?
Do you get any "need plugin and/or codec" messages?
The following plays avi files. See if they solve your issue.

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • Unable to import .avi files from digicam

    I'm unable to import .avi files from my finepix digicam. I get a message that says the files are unreadable. With the previous iPhoto version (v 06) I didn't have any problems. Any thoughts?

    I agree with TD regarding Image Capture. I have the same problem with larger video clips and iPhoto 6. You can use Image Capture, choose "Download Some", select just the movie, and upload it to your Desktop. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to jump from zero to 100% with no real indication of the download progress. Be patient, leave it alone, and eventually the movie should appear on your Desktop. Once there, iPhoto should have no trouble importing it.
    Regards.

  • Exchange Server CCR 2007 unable to see the File Share Witness resulting in mailbox failover ?

    Hi people,
    Here's my Exchange Server 2007 SP3 in the ideal and normal situation:
    Mailbox Server (CCR – Stretched Cluster) Nodes
    PRODEXMBX01-VM (Active Mailbox, Quorum) – 10.1.1.53
    DREXMBX01-VM (Passive mailbox) – 192.168.1.88
    Hub Transport and Client Access Server Nodes
    PRODEXHTCAS02-VM – 10.1.1.54
    PRODEXHTCAS03-VM (FSW holder) – 10.1.1.55
    DREXHTCAS02-VM – 192.168.1.89
    Saturday early morning, for some unknown reason the Active Mailbox Server (PRODEXMBX01-VM)
    cannot access or see the FSW on the HT server PRODEXHTCAS03-VM, thus
    the mailbox gets failover to the DR Mailbox server (DREXMBX01-VM).
    Here’s the Events logged:
    Log
    Name:      System
    Source:        Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
    Event ID:      1564
    Task Category: File Share Witness Resource
    Level:Critical
    User:          SYSTEM
    Computer:      PRODEXMBX01-VM.domain.com
    Description:
    File
    share witness resource 'File Share Witness (\\PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01)'
    failed to arbitrate for the file share '\\ PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01'.
    Please ensure that file share '\\ PRODEXHTCAS03-VM \FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01'
    exists and is accessible by the cluster.
    Log Name: System
    Source: Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering
    Event ID:      1177
    Task Category: None
    Level:       Critical
    User:     SYSTEM
    Computer:PRODEXMBX01-VM.domain.com
    Description:
    The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost.
    This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes
    in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk.
    Run
    the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the
    condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the
    network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to
    which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.
    So I had to perform manual failover back from DR to production so that both Active mailbox and the Quorum
    are held by the Production Mailbox server (PRODEXMBX01-VM).
    On Sunday Morning, the Event ID Critical 1564 occurred again thus causing only the quorum only to failover
    to the DR mailbox server (DREXMBX01-VM) but the Active mailbox role is still held by the Production Exchange server (PRODEXMBX01-VM). 
    So now the situation is like the following:
    Mailbox Server (CCR – Stretched Cluster) Nodes
    PRODEXMBX01-VM (Active Mailbox) – 10.1.1.53
    DREXMBX01-VM (Passive mailbox, Quorum) – 192.168.1.88
    Hub Transport and Client Access Server Nodes
    PRODEXHTCAS02-VM – 10.1.1.54
    PRODEXHTCAS03-VM (FSW holder) – 10.1.1.55
    DREXHTCAS02-VM – 192.168.1.89
    So what causing the mailbox servers unable to contact the File Share Witness?
    /* Server Support Specialist */

    Did you check the blog above? 
    The account used in the clustered machine should have access to
    \\PRODEXHTCAS03-VM\FSM_DIR_ExMbxCluster01. Please check the permissions. Try giving full permission to admins as well (just to try)
    MAS
    I've followed this (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124922(v=exchg.80).aspx) instruction and there is no mentioning other than the Cluster Service Account.

  • Unable to see pdf files with Lion upgrade

    Since upgarding to Lion I've been unable to see my bank e-statements in Safari or Firefox. When the pdf file appears to load the result is a black statement in Safari and a white screen in Firefox. A right click does not allow me to download the file for viewing. When I spoke with their electronic support the said they have had many calls regarding this problem with newest OS X Lion upgrades. His suggestion was to uninstall or remove Adobe Reader v10.1.1 and allow Safari to read the files. Has anyone found a solution to this problem rather than completely abandoning Adobe Reader?

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for the info, I dragged a PDF to desktop ctrl-, get info. change all to open with adobe.
    Problem solved, many thanks for a quick response.

    Me again,
    A friend suggested that I do a system restore.
    I did a search for system restore in Windows 7 and got a very intuitive menu.
    I selected an earlier system restore point and executed the restore.
    After the computer restart I reloaded Firefox 5.0 and the Ask.com problem was corrected.
    My friend says this approach may work about 25% of the time to fix this kind of problem. In my case it worked and I am happy.
    Thanks all.

  • Unable to play AVI files with Quicktime

    I installed Perian and the xvid codec but still cannot play all AVI videos in QT. Not really a problem since I have VLC. However it would be nice to be able to play AVI files in QT as well

    AVI container can accept a real mess of codecs, not all of which are provided in Perian.  Use a utility such as
    Media Info - http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net - to get details of codecs used in multimedia
    to see which video codec is used and compare it with the list on Perian's web site.

  • Got new iMac, I had completed the migration from PC to new Apple computer, but still unable to see the files on the iTunes

    got new iMac, I had completed the migration from PC to new iMac, but still unable to see all the apps and music that were saved from the old PC to new iMac. Please help.

    My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Problems seeing avi files in finder

    Hi,
    I've recntly switched to mac and I have been copying a load of stuff to my new machine from my old PC. The trouble that I am having is that i can't see some DivX AVI files when I look for them in finder (the folder they are in looks as if it is empty). When I look for the files using spotlight search or if I go through a program and get to the file though file and open I can see the files normally.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?

    Hi Turbo Slicer,
    Finder has some trouble refreshing the contents of folders after you perform some operations like unzipping copying and moving so all you need to do is create a blank folder in the apparently but not so empty folder and then delete the untitled new folder. This is the easiest and fastest way i've found. I'm hoping it will go away eventually with an OS update.
    Good Luck

  • VPN:  Unable to see server files, download Email attachments

    I recently installed the Apani Contivity VPN client in order to connect my home iMac with my company's servers. The Apani product was the client specified by my company. I can access the company's servers, but cannot see individual files. According to my company's IT department, this is because my company uses Microsoft's Distributed File System, whick OS X is unable to access. Has anyone else had similar problems and know of a workaround? In what may be a related matter, when I connect through VPN to my company Email account, I am unable to open or download message attachments. I have used both Entourage and Thunderbird Email programs, again as recommended by my IT department. Can anyone offer any advice here?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hmm.
    I'm going to defer this to someone more adept at VPN's,
    but it sure sounds like permissions that aren't set properly on the server.
    Don't let your techies off the hook too easily.
    And as far as the attachments...is this using an email client, after you've made the VPN connection...on the 'inside'?
    (what kind of attachments, did you say? Word, pdf?)
    If you can't see files in those folders, there's a probability that you don' t have "permissions" to run the programs associated with the attachments.
    See why it sure looks like it's falling back on your network gurus.

  • Unable to see the file share content via UNC path

    I have run a cmd command to modify the NTFS permissions on a few home directories.
    That command has helped me to remove all from the ACL of shared folders; and add domain admins into it.
    I am an admin on that Windows server. Now, whenever I try to access any home directory via UNC path; it doesn't displays the files and folders in it. But, if I go to the server and try to open the particular home directory from there...first it gives me
    a prompt that I currently do not have access on folder and then gives me an option to click on continue and then I can access the files and folders within the directory.
    I am also able to see the files and folders in the directory via UNC path after doing the above steps.
    Can somebody help me understand what I did wrong here and how can this be resolved now?

    Sorry, am added into local administratir group. But, NTFS permissions shows that I have only "read" and "change" permissions (I have checked this from effective permissions).
    The ACL of folder shows only "Domain Admins" have full access and I am not a part of AD group "Domain Admins". I think this is the root cause of the issue.
    I am running below mentioned command to give myself full access on the file shares without making any changes to the current ACL of all shared folders. However, it is not working and not even throwing any error message.
    for /f %i in (u:\users.txt) do cacls \\hdfile01\users$\%i /C /G "AMadm":F
    users.txt contains 'cn'. Another thing to notice here is that if I just keep one ID in .txt file and then run my command; it is working. But its not running for all users in loop.
    Can somebody please help.
