Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Question .avi ~ sound but no video in Quicktime

Hi All.

I'm really hoping someone can help me. I use a mac laptop and have been downloading .avi files and watching them on quicktime with no problems. Until recently...movies that I had watched before with no problems, I opened up and now I have sound but no video. This has happened to about half of my movies. I have the latest version of Quicktime and I have no clue what to do.

Can anyone out there help me?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Andi

Hiya...

I am neither a Mac nor regular Quicktime user but...

When you did your last series of updates, what happened to your installed Codecs ?
Logic tells me (Ha Ha Ha) that perhaps you need to either reinstall or renew your Codecs Pack(s)...

No ?

Be sure to let us know what happens !

Hi Ursula, thanks for your reply. I do know what you're talking about, but being kind of new to this, what kind of Codecs and I looking for? It seems like I had to download a shitload of stuff when I started using Limewire and watching these movies.

What codec names should I be looking for?

Thanks a bunchl.

I'd recommend this player VLC - (click on link) _ (choose nearest mirror site) as it has in-built codecs & is very reliable & is Free. Another good one which is similar to VLC but can do the odd thing VLC can't is MPlayer (Click on link) & is Free. Good to keep both of these handy just in case.
And if you wish to change one of these to be your main video player, then see How to change default program to open files with in OSX


Also, you can expand QuickTime's range of files by installing Perian and Flip4Mac:

Perian: Perian - The swiss-army knife of QuickTime® components __ (Free / Donateware) ____ (An alternative plug-in codec for QuickTime to use instead of DivX, XviD or 3ivx. I highly recommend it.)

Flip4Mac wmv/wma plugin: Flip4Mac - Digital Media Tools for the Mac __ (Free / Shareware for version to convert to wma/wmv)


If you wish codecs for QuickTime player, then you should get DivX, _ XviD, _ 3ivx. And perhaps ffmpegX and FFusion. And for QT support for WMV files then Flip4Mac WMV Player ____ (* Warning, some of these codecs such as DivX, XviD, 3ivx are now shareware/trialware even just for playback. Perian which is free seems to be an easier option.)


Update QuickTime Plug-In Codecs & make sure the appropriate QT video & audio options are enabled -> Enabling & updating QuickTime Plug-ins


General gnutella network Video download advice: Movie download issues (click on blue link).

Note: re: Previewing; to prevent Preview files being created in your incomplete folder & taking up space which you need to delete later, instead I recommend going directly to your incomplete folder listed in LW Library window, find the file you wish to preview & select it & press Launch button. Usually need to have first downloaded 5-10% of a video to preview it (varies depending on video format & what % of start & end of video has been downloaded, since LW does not necessarily download files in sequential order. Sometimes not enough of the video information start & end & other info attributes has been downloaded for the player to recognise it as a video file.



Perian enables QuickTime application support for additional Media Types:
AVI, FLV, and MKV file formats
MS-MPEG4 v1 & v2, DivX, 3ivX, H.264, FLV1, FSV1, VP6, H263I, VP3, HuffYUV, FFVHuff, MPEG1 & MPEG2 Video, Fraps, Windows Media Audio v1 & v2, Flash ADPCM, Xiph Vorbis (in Matroska), MPEG Layer II Audio
AVI support for: AAC, AC3 Audio, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3
Subtitle support for SSA and SRT

mpeg streamclip is good But I use it for some editing purposes rather than a regular player.
Like MPlayer, mpeg streamclip can also open DVD VOB files.
(AVI support was added in later versions of mpeg Streamclip.)

If you downloaded Q.T. 7.4.1 then the experts recommend you dump 7.4.1 and reload 7.3.1.
OR: Remove the Q.T. Plugin.webplugin. This worked for some.

Use VLC or/& MPlayer with in-built codecs & no need to worry about QuickTime bugs or downloading extra codec plug-ins for QT.

In video editing circles, it's not uncommon for there to be bugs in new QuickTime releases. In recent times, Apple seem to be concentrating on making QuickTime & iTunes for their commercial aspects of buying online, and less emphasis on making sure of high quality & lack of bugs exist for programs that utilise QuickTime, including the QT player itself.

Default Quick Time problems

Lord of the Rings, please use names instead of single letters. What are "VLC and M Player". Unfortunately we are not all as computer literate as yourself. John

VLC was previously called Video Lan but they changed it to VLC some years ago. MPlayer is likewise the name of the program.
