Video not available cannot find 'vids:xvids' decompressor

I am getting this message when I am trying to play a an .avi file in framemaker 7.1. (I can play a .php and .flv files without any problems.) I have been able to play this type of file before until just recently. The only thing I know is any different from the time I was ble to play it and now is that I have deleted some fonts on my system (NOT the standard windows fonts). That should not have caused this. I have downloaded the vids:xvid codec - still the same problem. What else can I do, besides converting all my .avi files? By the way I can play the .avi files outside of FrameMaker.

Many thanks for your response
However there is no camera software that I am aware of. You simply connect the USB cable to the camera and copy the images to the PC. I can then double click on them in WIndows Explorer and they play fine but not in AE
However since posting this my son has found that if he does create movie in AE (something to do with creating a proxy?) it then plays OK
DOes this help explain what is going on?

"video not available, cannot find 'vids:cvid' decompressor" message in WinSvr 2008

Greetings, all!
I've published my projects in AVI using the Cinipak Codec video output but in Windows Server 2008 (64 bit), I get a "video not available, cannot find 'vids:cvid' decompressor" error. Any thoughts?
Thanks a million!

Where the projector is concerned, AVIs are not actually using
WMP to run the file ... it actually uses the older Mplayer32
application which is also found on all Windows systems.
MPlayer32 does not natively support MPG4 and so if you just
installed the codec it was likely introduced for a temporary
period, but upon restart the system only loads the basic codecs for
Mplayer32.
This is why a typical video project usually uses QT media or
Flash media for videos, since many of the older codecs supported by
MPlayer are not very "size friendly". In some cases they are also
"quality" challenged.
QT media requires the user to have QT installed, but you can
always include the installer on the CD for free, and many people
have it already.
Another third party alternative is Real media, and there is
an xtra in Director that will handle the files ... but again this
requires Real player to be installed on the user's machine. You
can, once again, include the installer on the CD ... but fewer
people have it installed compared to QT.
The MPeg Advanced Xtra may be a way to go, since it will
actually interact with the WMP engine, rather than the older
MPlayer32 engine.
On the XP+ machines, I believe the older MPlayer32 app is
actually cross-wired into the new WMP so it will allow b/c for some
apps that use it still, which is why it works on the XP machine,
but that will not happen on the earlier Win OS's

Cannot find vids:mjpg decompressor

Haiving imported a video from an Olympus 770 SW camera I have a .avi file
When I try to import this into After Effects CS4 I get an error message saying it cannot find the vids:mjpg decompressor
The odd thing is my son did the same thing with the same camera a few days ago and it worked
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

My Mac is showing that I am out of disk space. It says I have 175 MB of videos. I cannot find any videos in Itunes, Imovie or IPicture. What gives?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Videos "not available" when I try to export to IDVD

I completed a project and when I tried to move it to IDVD it gave me the following message:
The following Event used in this project is not currently available:
iPhoto Videos - movies
The portions of the project which reference this Event will show black frames.
From that point on I was unable to view that portion of the video in the view screen and it shows a black exclamation point in a yellow triangle for all the video that is "not available." How did I do this and how do I fix it?? I have IMovie '08. Thank you!

I am having the same problem. I somehow ended up with my videos downloading directly into iphoto. When I tried to get them into imovie, a screen popped up and asked me if I wanted to generate thumbnails for all iphoto videos. I clicked NOW, and now the clips are in the iPhoto Video folder in the Event Library. I cannot sort them out into separate events, so I decided to make a movie project directly from the iPhoto Video folder. This worked, until I got through with it and tried to share to YouTube. YouTube said it detected an error, and now iMovie is giving me caution signs on all the clips within my project that are iPhoto clips. I get the same error message. If anyone has any ideas on this,please help!

I changed routers- mg3200 will not print. cannot find cd. HELP!

I changed my router. How to do link my MG3200 into the printer. I cannot find the CD that came with the printer, and I cannot find the usb cable either.

Hi hittingguru,
You will need to reinstall the drivers on your computer to reconnect the printer to your network. You will also need a USB cable to perform the reinstallation. If you need to obtain a USB cable, they can usually be purchased from most retailers that sell computer electronics such as Staples, Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, Radio Shack and Amazon.com. You will be looking for an "A to B" USB cable.
Since you do not have the installation CD, the latest drivers for the printer can be downloaded from the Canon USA website. So we can provide you with instruciton for downloading applicable drivers, please reply with what version of Windows or Mac OS X is on your computer.
If this is a time-sensitive matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Optimize Video not available

I have iMovie 10.0.3 (which is a nightmare), an iMac 27 with 10.9.3 and 16GB and a problem I can't solve by my own.
I want to do use the instant replay feature, but the menu is grayed out.
The potential solution should be to select "optimize video" with a right click in the events, but this option is not available. In the older version it was a piece of cake to do this...
Any idea what I can do get this option?
Cheers!

This has been going on for several weeks and no one really knows what the problem is. Use the search function on the right to find several threads discussing this.

IPlanet plugin for WebLogic not working - cannot find function named wl_init

Hi,
I have been having this issue for the last two days. It relates to
IPlanet plugin for WbLogic. Following is the error I get:
[17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] config ( 2069): func_exec reports: cannot find
function named wl_init [17/Apr/2003:11:41:26] failure ( 2069):
Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function
wl_init: unknown error
Here is my environment:
SUN E-250 Server
Solaris 8.0 with recommended Patch-set
iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP4
Web logic 7 SP2
Here is how I have edited magnus.conf to include the following lines:
Init fn="load-modules"
shlib="/usr/iplanet/servers/plugins/lib/libproxy.so" func
s="wl_proxy,wl_init" Init fn="wl_init"
#ServerRoot /usr/iplanet/servers/https-cablevision5
..... rest of the file ..........
As you have noticed I have put everything regrding plugin in one line.
I have also used various other combinations of breaking this line
into multiple lines but no use.
What I have also noticed is that if I change the name of libproxy.so
to some other arbitrary file name that does not exist, even then the
error message does not change. So it looks like the library is not
even being loaded.
The library file is owned by root and has permissions to read and
execute for everyone.
I will really appreciate is I can get any help. I have noticed that
there are folks who have posted similar problem, no one gave an answer
to them. Please be more generous this time in furnishing with your
opinion.
Thanks
Jamal

I will try and be as descriptive as possible. I hate the posts that
dont give any help.
Anyway you did not mention anything about your obj.conf configuration.
Here is how it should look, e.g.:
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="wl-proxy,wl-init"\
shlib=/usr/local/netscape/plugins/libproxy.so
Init fn="wl-init"
<Object name="weblogic" ppath="*/weblogic/*">
Service fn=wl-proxy WebLogicHost=myweblogic.server.com\
WebLogicPort=7001 PathTrim="/weblogic"
</Object>
Check the following url:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html
Ok,so you probably have those in there. If not, then please check
that you have directives in obj.conf and the magnus.conf as well.
Again the service line should be all one line.
Next, are you proxying by path or by suffix. I.E. do you want
everything to go to weblogic or just .jsp. You can configure either
way. This will change your directive. Specifically ppath means proxy
by path. To proxy by file extension (or what i call suffix) then look
at this url for specifics:
http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/nsapi.html#exts (notice the
anchor in the link)
Post how it goes...

Youtube Music Videos Not Available on iOS?

Hello,
I have an iPad and an iPhone, and none of the VEVO youtube videos or music videos in general can be played on the youtube app. It will say that this movie could not be played. Also, if you try to watch them through the browser version of youtube through safari, it tells me that I need flash (yeah I know) but if I play any other youtube video on desktop youtube it won't tell me about flash, and will just play. It seems like any youtube video with music cannot be played on iOS. Is youtube deliberately blocking music videos from iphones and ipads, or is this apple wanting you to pay money in itunes, or is it a glitch on my end?
Thanks

You can convert them to mp3 or iphone formay through a program called free studio manager

AnyConnect installation issues - Network Adapter is not created - cannot find any error?

I am a contractor with a Federal Agency that just swithed to using Cisco AnyConnect for VPN access. I am about the only person with this installation issue, that I know of. When installing the AnyConnect client on a Windows 7 machine running a 3.X msi install - the expected Cisco NewWork Adapter is not created in Network connections as I would expect. I have turned off Firewall services, I've turned off SQL services, Citrix, etc. But nothing I have tried allows this to install correctly.
When I attempt to use the AnyConnect VPN client and login the the remote service - I receive the
The VPN client driver has encountered an problem. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.
I have attempted the driver database fix suggested online - BUT it didn't correct the problem because I think my problem is in the initial setup, although I cannot find and error in the Windows/inf/setupapi.app.log and setupapi.dev.log that would suggest there is an driver problem.
The DART logs are a bit cryptic, but nothing stands out that would give me any idea as to what might be blocking the creating of the Network adapter the VPN Client would use to connect to the remote network.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction - I am not receiving help from configuration management - their solution is to format my entire computer and rebuild it which will cost me weeks of time and I have a deadline looming in Feburary.
Thank you!
