Help With quicktime and avi

[MR EKIP]

Hey im having a problem with quicktime playing avi. files it plays them (video and audio) but only the first 10 secs of the video and I was wondering if there is a way to fix that. Because I'm trying to burn them to a DVD using Toast but it still on shows the 30 min video as 10 sec. And the part where I get confused is that my VLC player plays the files fine. Im a little confused with the whole situation.

Post your computer details--processor, RAM, OS.

I had the same problem with my Widdle Mac Pismo that was a G4 550 MHz and a gig of RAM. With the newer MacBook, they play just fine.

This was not for all QT. Some played fine.

Hrmmm . . . I think that should be fast enough. I defer to "men skilled in this work."

Where do these .avi files originally come from?

 

[fryke]

".avi" files can contain a plethora of codecs. In VLC, get info on that file and see what was used.

a anime downloading site called bleachexile.com

How would I go about doing such a thing.

 

[VirtualTracy]

Click on the file in the VLC window and hit ⌘ + I

 

[MR EKIP]

there's nothing under advanced......

 

[VirtualTracy]

Try opening one of the .avi's using QuickTime and look in:

QuickTime ~> Window ~> Show Movie Properties

I have QuickTime Pro so I'm not sure if you'll see the option to show this info??

 

[MR EKIP]

No it does not give me the option I'm screwed aren't I?

[VirtualTracy]

MR EKIP, can you post the full name of this file ...

 

[MR EKIP]

ya sure
DB_Bleach_124_[FCDA7C37].avi

its a episode of a anime show called bleach

 

[VirtualTracy]

This is a Torrent file is it? It's 170 MB in size and I'm starting to feel that it may have either downloaded incorrectly or there's something wrong with the file.

Have you downloaded any other movies from the site that have worked?

You might have to re-download it ...

 

[MR EKIP]

I'm not sure but the video plays fine and in full length in VLC.

I'll try to re-download it.

 

[VirtualTracy]

Sorry MR EKIP I forgot about that part .... let me re-read the thread again .... don't download it again just yet ...

 

[VirtualTracy]

What do you want to do exactly with the disc once you've burnt the .avi to it? Play it on a standalone DVD player, or for archival purposes?

 

[MR EKIP]

I'd Like to be able to play it in a DVD player but the main purpose is to make a collection.
