transmission download QuickTime missing something?

[nomadix]

Howdy Folks:

took some advice from here and downloaded Transmission- Quicktime files [MM].avi - when I click on it - Quicktime opens and then says some files missing may be able to retrieve from web site

I have many choices - anyone care to lead me to what I should have to watch these

Cheers thanks

avi's are such a pain.

i'd just convert it with iSquint then drop it in your itunes.

(and transmission does rock)

Howdy mikeinternet:

So should download iSquint then, no?

is easy to convert or something I should know

Cheers thanks for the help

google VLC and download it. It plays almost all video files without codecs or having to convert anything.

Howdy Xander562: ( spaceman spiff?!?)

Yes - I second or third this... very easy to figure

So - part 2 ..... in order to put these files on DVD- do I have to convert them from the downloaded [MM].avi , use Toast... or??

Cheers thanks ya

vlc. will work (better anyhow) playing avi's. (it might skip or the sound might go off synce< depending on how good your computer is)

...but i still think if you have the drive space and want to keep it neat away itunes. isuinting those into a itunes happy format is the way to go.

feel it out for what you want to do.

(and yes you have the right idea what i meant)

I had this same problem. I am so frustrated! For every video I play I practically have to download a separate player! I had to download windows media player for some stupid wmv files, and now this for avi! Why can't they equip a computer with a player that plays MOST popular video types?!

Well let's start with this, are you still using QuickTime 6? I haven't seen that dialogue since I last used QuickTime 6 because 7 just says Error opening movie when it can't open something.

Next, download Perian (http://perian.org/) and Flip4Mac (http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm).

If that doesn't work, VLC.

And if it still doesn't work, download ffmpegX (http://www.ffmpegx.com/), drop the file into the window and tell us the codecs it uses.
