dsc106 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 So I was trying to play an XVID .avi file.... The video played just fine, but there was no audio. Quicktime said I may need a 3rd party plugin, so I went to the site on apple it directed me to and downloaded the Xvid deal. In the instructions it said to move the two files, Xvid_Codec-r58(Intel).component AviImporter-r7(Intel).component To the library/quicktime directory, and specifically NOT to move it to the system/library/quicktime directory. Well being the smart one I am, I missed that last part and moved it to system/library/quicktime dir, then tried to open the file. "ERROR file can't open." Well I fixed my problem and removed those two component files and put them in the PROPER library/quicktime directory... just like instructions said, no files in the wrong place. SAME ERROR Tried taking the files out all together, just like original before I tried copying them over... suppossedly... SAME ERROR Umm... huh? What did I do?? By the way, other .mov files and stuff still play just fine... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52442-oops-did-i-break-quick-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
