I can't open an uncompress avi file taht i use to open in Qt 7.0 and 6.x. Now I upgrade to Qt 7.11 and can't open the file. I don't think that the problem be a codec.
Thanks for your help.
pd I can open it with Qt6.x
The problem is most likely a codec. Go to Harddrive < Library < Quicktime. Check and see what codecs remain following your upgrade to 7.1.1. Chances are, you need to reinstall DivX, XviD or other.
Hi - sorry I can't help but I was wondering if you figured out how to fix this or if anyone else can help - I'm in the same boat.
I was using Quicktime 6.5.3 - I had upgraded to 7 a couple of times before, even purchased pro key, but ended up reinstalling 6.5.3 because it was choppy and completely useless. This weekend I was having trouble with several divx files on 6.5.3 - there was a lot of video lag and converting files and divx doctor didn't help at all. I finally decided to try again and install the latest QT 7.11 - my .mov files play ok - the divx files still have sync problems - but the worst problem is that my .avi files (all of them - and they worked before) completely stall QT. I get a couple of bounces in the dock when I try to launch and then nothing (application not responding).
I am running 10.3.9 on a G3 Powerbook - I checked in the library under quicktime and the codecs I have are ...3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX, XVIDDelegate.component, DivX Decoder.component, DivX Encoder.component, and msmpeg4v2.component. I don't really understand what a codec is or does so if there is something I should have can you tell me how to find it too?
I hope someone can help - it looks like reinstalling 6.5.3 is harder from this version than past versions. Thanks for any help you can give.
I would make certain all of your codecs (coders and decoders) are current. Go to the sites pertaining to the codecs you've mentioned and make certain you are up-to-date. Using older codec builds against updated QT versions is most likely the reason you are having issues.
I would but VLC gets an error with several divx videos I have - it says it's leaking frames and sometimes I get no video at all, others I get video but after 20 mins or so the audio and video start to lose sync - frustrating. Anyway - I gave up on Quicktime 7 AGAIN - reinstalled 6.5.2. AVI's still didn't work but then I went about going through and deleting any files dated yesterday with divx in the title. I thought I was doing ok - mostly removing preference files - didn't think I took anything important - and left all the codecs in the library/quicktime folder. Now I get great video on my .avi files but the sound just isn't there - and it was there and plays fine on VLC. Unfortunately I emptied the trash, out of habit. So - I guess I deleted some sort of file that makes the audio work - I'm guessing it has something to do with divx can anyone help me find what I need to hear my movies again??? The following is the list of stuff I still have with divx in the title. Thanks for any help you can give.

Thank you for your help.
I download de divx codec, but it doesn;t solve the problem. Perhaps, it could be a corrupt file, because, today I can open another file. The file come from an ultrasound machine that convert dicom images (a medicine file type) in uncompress avi.
I will post wath happen in the nexts days.
This might work - it worked for me. I finally found an older version of Divx for Mac 6.0 (instead of 6.5 which is the latest). As soon as I removed the 6.5 codecs from the hd/library/quicktime folder and installed the 6.0 version all my files started working perfectly. Hope it helps - good luck.
