  How do I export an AVI file from a Mac?
  Using CS6, Media Encoder 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2.

  Install Flip4Mac or a similar utility to give QuickTime the ability to create AVI files.

  If you’re on a Mac you can re-enable AVI exports from QuickTime 7 on OSX Lion or later…

  Missing compression codecs

  The gist of the message is this…

  In order to enable one of the “legacy video codecs” open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, copy/paste the appropriate line (or all of them) into a terminal window, and hit return. The effect is instantaneous.

  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs ApplePlanarRGB enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs SorensonVideo enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs SorensonVideo3 enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleBMP enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleCinepak enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleH261 enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleH263 enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleMotionJPEGA enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleMotionJPEGB enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs ApplePNG enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleNone enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleVideo enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleGraphics enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleTGA enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleTIFF enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleComponentVideo enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs AppleJPEG2000 enabled
  qtdefaults write LegacyVideoCodecs ApplePixlet enabled

  If you also want to enable all of the “legacy audio codecs” you can copy this line to your terminal:

  qtdefaults write LegacyAudioCodecsEnabled yes
