I can't seem to open AVI videos in quicktime. Any help would be appreciated.
I am running OS 10.1.4 and Quicktime 5.0.5

What do you mean? QuickTime player doesn't open anything or does it show a blank window ?
Maybe you just need to download the good codecs (avi files can be encoded with various codecs)
Is it divx ? then get it on www.3ivx.com or www.divx.com
read some infos on the 3ivx website and forum to get better results, converting files to .mov ...
hope this helps

qt pro 5 plays most avi files for me. guess it's the 'pro' part that counts. I wish apple would do a better job making regular qt play all the avi and divx variants out there. it's a lot, but not too hard.

the Pro part has nothing to do with it. the difference is in which avi files you are trying to play

Quicktime 5 will not play AVI files with packet based soundtracks. (mp3, wma, etc)Divx Doctor (from the 3vix folks) can convert the AVI file into a MOV file. MOV files do support packet based soundtracks.

There is a neat trick if you can�t open an items try dragging and dropping the item over an open and blank Microsoft Internet Explorer page. It has worked many times that I have to admit that is one of the many reason I love Internet Explorer.

I have come across a couple movies that are encoded with wma audio. I tried using DivxDoctor2 and AVE2MOV, but neither is capable of converting if the audio is wma. anyone have a solution to this?

it only works in OS 9 (or classic) but it allows you to use Divx Doctor II in classic to re-encode wma audio movies to movies playable in OS X, if that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure VLC can't read WMA audio either. I'd love to be proven wrong though...

Nope it doesn't play the wma codec. I can get the pic to show up in QT, but the videolan player won't even do that much. Just all garbled.
So the question remains....I have this movie....its a SpongeBob Square Pants episode....it has a wma codec for audio. Can I convert that to anything that is playable?
