Where is the required codec for Quicktime 7.2 to view MPEG-2 files?

I have quicktime 7.2 running on Mac OSX 10.7.2. I have some movies in the MPEG-2 format. When i clik on them to play them, quicktime opens and says the required codec isnt available. Whats wrong, and where do i find the right "codec" to play the files?
PLease help...
Thx in advance!

OK, did some digging and this is the deal.
Inspite of Apple's vague description, the MPEG-2 codex works only with QuickTime 7 (which matches my installation). You do not need to have QT 7 Pro to view MPEG-2 files, but you do need it to transcode MPEG-2 to other formats. The plug in does not allow creating of MPEG-2 files.
You can also try searching download sites such as MacUpdate. There are shareware and freeware utilities that claim to convert MPEG-2 files, but I can't vouch for them personally.

Description of the add on is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A#overview
You can download QT 7 for free from here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Where do I get the XviD codec for quicktime?

I tried googling but no dice. Quicktime seven sometimes tries to get the Codec when some Xvid movies are played but it comes back with a message of unavailable. I can play Xvid on my computer but not with quicktime.

You were very helpful, I found out after visiting the link you kindly posted that the current codec does NOT work with quicktime 7. That answers all the related issues I have had and why I could play Xvid before (I had a older version of quicktime 6.x). Now I have to choose whether I want H264 viewing abilities with 7 or XviD with a version less than seven. For now I will watch with other players. One thing I like about quicktime pro is the basic movie editing feature. One can cut out a piece with general accuracy and same the result as a self contained file without having to encode again, that saves a lot of time when I have some commercials to cut out of a tv episode before viewing the show.

Problems with mpeg2 codec for quicktime

I just downloaded the mpeg2 codec for quicktime and installed it. My computer doesn't recongnize it and I still can't play mpeg2 clips. When I check the video codecs installed on my computer, the mpeg2 codec doesn't appear in the list even if I did install it. I'm using windows XP. What can I do?

The QuickTime MPEG2 Component comes with an installer. Did the installer run? Did it show any errors?
It is working for me in QuickTime on Windows XP.
Note: Even with this component there are some limitations. It cannot play AC3 sound tracks. It should however be able to play MPEG2 video from .m2v or .vob or .mpg files.

Xvid Codec for Quicktime 7.0.3

Hey, i've got some videos i'd like to put onto my ipod, but they were converted to avi using xvid. Therefore i can't use qt to put them on my ipod. Does anyone know if and how i can install the xvid codec into quicktime.
I'd really appreciate any hints whatsoever!!!!!

Why is it taking so long for anyone to develop a QT
AC3 Codec?? I can't burn anything on my mac that has
AC3 audio. moan moan moan!!!
I normally pretty upbeat & positive, but i'm getting
bored of converting all my audio before i burn.
If anyone hears of a AC3 QT 7.0.3 Codec, please oh
please post a link here
IF YOU WANT A AC3 CODEC FOR CHRISTMAS POST YOUR
REQUESTS HERE
I'm searching a quick time ac3 codec, too.
But I can't find it...!!
I tryed the one found at the link http://www.insaneness.com/ac3.html, but it doesn't work.
I'd like to know if a working ac3 codec exists (I use QT v. 7.02), if so where can I find it. If it doesn't exist when can it be avilable for mac user.
Thanx!
Bye.

Error Message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?

I am trying to get media from my computer, and I only receive this error message :
This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?
What should I do? I have a window 8 laptop. My video files are from my itouch/ipod. I am using Premiere Elements 7.
I have used this software with success before. HELP would greatly be appreciated!

darlingdarleen
Did both laptop 1 and 2 have QuickTime (latest version or any version) installed on the computers with Premiere Elements 7 when you got this "this type of file......" message?
If you go to the opened Premiere Elements 7 projects involved and look at Share/Personal Computer/QuickTime, do you find that QuickTime Presets are shown and that you find export settings choices under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Look at the file name of the video. Do you see any irregularies in the name of the file, dots and such?
If you record new iPod footage, open a new Premiere Elements project, and import that iPod footage, do you still get the error message? Putting aside, iTouch, what model iPod are these videos coming from?
Thanks.

How to solve "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed"?

Hi all,
I've just started using a new computer with WIndows 8.1 within the last week and have loaded my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.0 software into it.
In trying to view and edit a video I created on my old computer, I got "Media Pending" and "Media Offline" notices as soon as I began. The source files are located on an external drive with a permanent letter designation. I began the process of reconnecting my Project Assets files with the source files this morning, but have now encountered a new roadblock. Each time I try, I get the message "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." It offers no information or options other than to click "OK," which is not very helpful.
All the source files are located in one folder on my external drive. I have been able to reconnect the JPEGs and the mp3 source files but not the AVI video files.
Here are three screenshots. The first is the "Media Offline" message, the second is the message I receive when I try to reconnect my Project Assets to the source files and the third is a screenshot of the codecs installed on the new computer.
Here is my new computer information:
Model: Del Inspiron 3847
Intel Core i5-4460
CPU @ 3.20 GHz 3.20 GHz
RAM 8 GB
System type: 64-bit, x64-based processor
I hope someone can guide me. What do I need to do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Thank your for the information supplied.
But, what are the properties of this .avi file that you seek?
Video Compression
Audio Compression
Frame Size
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Right now of prime interest is the video compression that is being wrapped by that AVI wrapper/container.
AVCHD.avi
MotionJPEG.avi
XviD.avi
DviX.avi
other
There are instances were a particular video compression or a particular container/wrapper format is each supported by Premiere Elements, but
not a combo of those particular two. But, in this instance, I suspect this to be a MotionJPEG video codec issue, but your details will
point us to the actual situation, and we will plan troubleshooting strategy from there.

I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video. Do you have any suggestions? I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
that appears at the top of this forum.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Adobe Premiere Elements 12: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed

Hallo! I use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on my computer (PC, windows 7). When I try do re-open my projects on Adobe Premiere Elements I get the message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. The file type of my saved projects is: Adobe Premiere Elements Project (.prel). The same happens when i try to re-open the auto save files. This is very annoying because I losse all my earlier work. I would be really grateful for help. Best regards, Stefan

With the QT Player installation, you should have Apple's H.264 CODEC.
Maybe this ARTICLE will give you some tips on the GoPro footage.
Good luck,

This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.

About two months ago, I was able to edit these files and create videos from them. Now I get the following message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
Aside from regular Windows updates, nothing has been added or removed from my PC.
I’m using fully patched Windows 7
Premiere Elements 8.0
Canon T2I Hi def movies are .MOV

I can't believe that tech challenged moi is replying to the codec issue. I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I won't go into the tech issues with a Windows update.... Anyway I downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 and figured out how to import my photos and videos to Photoshop on the new comptuter. Photos were fine but videos wouldn't play. I got the messages about Apple's Quicktime required and then the "required codec is not installed". I went "What is a "codec"!
I downloaded Quicktime which went smoothly but I still had the "required codec not installed" message to deal with. I researched and found that it referred to compressed/decompressed files(?) Next I googled "Windows 7 codec download" (not even sure if there was one). There was! I clicked on the first result and downloaded the codec. The info stated that this codec should read 99.9% of video files. Went back to Photoshop and clicked on the blue video thumbnail. It worked!!! The video played just as it did on the old computer.
Hope this helps someone else. Now why would Windows 7 not include this codec in the first place. I never had to download one before on other computers. Only Quicktime needed downloading. Oh, well.

Where can I get codec for ISO files?

Where can I get codec for ISO files?Premiere Elements

An ISO is actually not a video file, it is a container... somewhat like a ZIP file that contains other files
I do not know if it will PLAY what is inside an ISO, but I use Imgburn to write an ISO to DVD
Read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1322583 for notes on installing Imgburn WITHOUT any toolbar add-ons... Set Imgburn to use the slowest burn speed your drive and media will use... I set my burn speed to 1x and let Imgburn adjust to the actual minimum

Is there any codec for QuickTime Player ?

Is there any codec for QuickTime Player ?

Do you mean are there other codecs you can install and play in QT, yes there is, just this and it will take care of them all just about.

If you don't have Flash, install it here
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Others are Silverlight (free) and Flip4Mac (payware) for protected Windows media files.
You can also install the free VLC player, it plays a lot too.
DivX, I don't know about, VLC likely can play that.
There is also RealPlayer, but I think that's dropped off the face of the planet
