Importing MPEG 2 but sound doesnt import

I am trying to import a MPEG 2 video file but only the video portion of it will import. The audio does not come in.
I right clicked in the browser and selected import files and selected my MPEG 2 file. Am I doing something wrong?

MPEG 2 files can't be used directly in Final Cut Pro.
You need to convert them using [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com] to an editable format such as a QuickTime .mov file using the DV codec.

    Well you left that little snippet of info out of your last post! : )
    This could well be the problem as you could have damaged the connection and it's finally given up. As the software options don't help, it's time to get it repaired. As it's accidental damage (and out of warranty), Apple won't fix it.
    Google for iPod repairs in your part of the world and see what you come up with.

  • JSP import self made Package that imports another self made package!

    I also posted under JSP section.
    I really need an answer please.
    Quite new to JSP & java. Not sure about how to use import properly for my problem below:
    Using Tomcat4.12 & jdsdk1.4 on WinXP
    So I create a package - lets call it p1.
    For all java files that belong to this packge I put on the top line of code:
    package p1;
    All files of package p1 are put in Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p1
    everything complies & the packge runs fine - theres a servlet in it & I'm happy.
    Now I create a new package to go with my webapp. Lets call this p2.
    However there is a java file in p2 that uses a class from p1 package.
    So in that file I put:
    import p1.theclassname;
    However this will not work because this line refers to:
    Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p2\p1
    so it will not find the class. Because its in:
    Tomcatdir\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\classes\p1
    Anyway I can make it comple by moving files about & making a more complex dir structure & more complex package names - but this cant b the propler way to do it?????
    Anyway with my quick fix to this problem I cause a new porblem - in my jsp files that use both packages I cant import the classes I needas the are all complied in packages that are now in the worng place on the hard drive!
    I also tried doing this by just having p1 where it was to start with & then instead of making p2 - I'd just complie it in the classes folder & have it import p1. This works fine until I try to import the classes in JSP - I tried things like:
    <%@ page import=".*" %>
    but it doesnt work unless its in a packge like
    <%@ page import="p2.*" %>
    but if its in a package then the sturcture to the other packge is all wrong again!!!!!!!!
    I hope someone knows what I'm going on about.
    Please help me.

    you are answer izzaman's problemYes
    he has solve already,
    right?Well, I wasn't sure if he really solved it, or just found an ugly workaround, so I wanted to make sure it wasn't the latter.
    can you help me to clear me doubt also. I'm new
    to Java. my problem has been posted earlier....I don't know specifically how to fix your problem. It's probably a classpath issue, though it may also be some simple oversight like a misspelling or something. It's hard to say without more details. If it is a classpath issue, then whatever izzaman did may also work for you. I haven't done much with servlets and JSP lately, and when I have, I've never had classpath problems, so I don't know what kinds of issues are common there.
    I would suggest starting a new thread for your problem. That's generally what you should do anyway, and it will get more notice if it's in its own thread. Don't put it in Adanced Language Topics though. Put it in the JSP forum or Java Programming.
    Good Luck!

  • Imported MPEG-4 file into Imovie 09 no picture only sound

    Imported a MPEG-4 file taken from a Samsung HD video, into IMovie (5.0.2), sound plays but no picture

    Problem is worsening, I think. Now, just about any clip I try to import has no sound. I just tried an MP4 video, and it actually seemed to have work, until I realized the sync is miles away from being correct. I must have some major problems with my system; I seem to be the only one struggling with this.

  • Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook- Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture- are they gone?

    I Uploaded my pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook… Some of the videos I made show that they imported and play sound, but no picture… are they gone?Becuase they offer to delete what was imported, so to save space i did... Is there anything I can do to restore the picture?

    Do your videos play in QuickTime Playerwhen you reveal one of them in the Finder with "File > Reveal > Original"? Try to open the revealed movie in QuickTime and see if it plays.
    Check the format of the movie. You can see it in the Inspector in QuickTime Player from the "WIndow" menu: Window > Show Inspector.
    iPhoto does not support all movie formats and codecs that QuickTime player can play, and not all frame rates.
    See: Using AVCHD video with iPhoto '11
    If the movie does not play in QuickTime Player either, install QuickTime 7 for more codecs.

  • Importing MPEG-2 problems

    I am trying transfer a VHS tape onto a DVD. I have a clip from my WinXP PVR in MPEG-2 format that I am able to open with Quicktime (after buying the separate codec grrr) but it will not import into iMovie. iMovie briefly flashes the "Importing" screen but then it goes away and nothing happens.
    Back on my PC I converted the MPEG-2 to an MPEG-1 clip and then iMovie imported it but without sound.
    What needs to be done to get iMovie to import my MPEG-2 clips?
    Edit: nevermind, I found a post that showed the solution. Ignore this post.

    In fact I have found a solution: Firstly on conneting the camera via USB you get the usual icon in the finder for an external storage device. I simply drag the folders which are contained within the SD_VIDEO and EXTMOVIE folders of the camera to the computer. The user manual tells one to do this but I am not sure that all the files contained therein are needed.
    Then using the software that came with the camera ("Capty mpeg edit ex") I open one or more of the .mod format files and arrange the order if needed while the seperate file names are still visible, and save. The software gives a choice of 4 format possibilities; mpeg (system stream), mpeg (elementary stream), or DV stream, or quicktime movie. Select DV stream; the first 2 aren't recognised by iMovie and QT movie gives very poor quality. The software gives the file a name in the sequence MOVxxx.dv where x is the sequence number. Note where you have chosen to save this file.
    Once the file is saved in .dv format you can open it in iMovie. From there on I can forget the stuff that came with the camera.

  • Some videos import without any sound!

    Hi there, I bought my iPod Video the other day, and when I choose the option to "Covert selection for iPod" when I right click on the video, it converts the video, and when I select it to listen to it the video plays but no sound comes out. This isn't with every video though, plenty of my videos work but plenty also don't.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    The camera is a Kodak Easyshare DX 7440....most all are Quicktime Movie formats.
    I believe this digital camera stores video files as MPEG4/µ-lAW 2:1 files in an MOV file container. Original iMovie '08 did not like the µ-Law audio and would not import it but I thought later application upgrades took care of than. As an experiment, filnd a file that will not open and run it through QT Pro or GarageBand exporting to the "Movie to MPEG-4" to an MP4 file container using video "pass through" and converting the audio to AAC ant streaming off. If the file then imports, then the audio compression may again be problematic.

  • Importing MPEG-2 .MOV from JVC into Premiere Pro CC

    hi all, first post on this forum, i am josh.
    down to business. i have been having trouble with premiere pro, i am tasked with editing footage for a promotional video for a college. the footage was recorded on two seperate cameras, first was a JVC HM100, second is a Canon 1100D.
    now we have most of our footage, and i have looked through it when i was on a mac, but then we i went home to do it at home on my PC running Windows 8.1 and Premiere Pro CC, i tried to import the JVC footage and it says the Codec is missing. but when i import the footage from the Canon, it works fine, so i have to right codec to play mov. but as far as i know, it is todo with the JVC recording with MPEG-2. now converting the footage works, but it is extremely time staking and i think it is reducing the qaulity a bit. i just want to know if there is another way for me to fix the file and import it into Premiere Pro CC. or a different conversion method. i am using handbrake currently as i know the programme and i can change a lot of quality settings. i have a lot of little files to convert, it isnt a case of a few big files, its over 30 little files, so i would like a working queueing feature if i convert file.
    to summarise.
    i can import MOV files that were filmed on a JVC camera but i can import files that were filmed on Canon camera, and i beleive it is todo with MPEG-2, that is what i gathered from other posts and forums.
    thanks in advance for any help, i hope i gave you all the info you need.
    System stuff:
    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit
    Premiere Pro CC, latest, i have some other adobe programs such as AE, PS, and AI, as well as media encoder(which doesnt accept the file either)

  • Audio does not encode when importing MPEGs

    Hello,
    I am working in Flash 8 for the Mac. I am trying to import an
    MPEG file but it does not give the ability to encode the audio
    track. The video file does have an audio track and I was able to
    import this very same file last week with success.
    As a result, audio is no longer encoded from any MPEG I
    attempt to import. The video works fine. Just no sound. Is there
    something I'm missing suddenly? Thank you.

  • Trouble opening mpeg movie files and importing into iMovie 08

    Hi, I'd be most grateful if anyone could provide any solutions to the following problem...
    A friend has emailed me two .mpeg movie files which are parts 1&2 of a home movie which I want to edit in iMovie and burn to DVD. The footage was shot on a miniHDV camcorder (not sure which brand).
    Opening in QT 7.6 gives the following warning dialogue: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    The files will however play fine in VLC Media Player, but not in mpeg Streamclip (the file appears to play but the viewer is blank with no audio/video). Trying to import into iMovie is unsuccessful. The iMovie browser won't let me choose the files or drag/drop.
    Any ideas. I read somewhere that iMovie 08 can't import mpeg-1 files. Do I need to convert the files, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance, and apologies - this is my first experience of video editing.

    I have QT Player but it hasn't "kicked in" when I try to import my videos.
    Something called PIXE VRF Browser is supposed to help in the conversion. The QT MPEG-2 thingy won't install until I buy QT Pro, according to what I get on the screen.
    Sounds like you have too many applications trying to do the same thing. Either use the Pixela Pixe VRF Browser or use the Mac applications (Mac OS Finder, Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component w/MPEG Streamclip) but not both to do the same job. The Apple Finder should be able to copy multiplexed VOB/MPEG-2 files from either your PC burned DVD or directly from your camcorder DVD to your MAC hard drive where MPEG Streamclip/QT MPEG-2 component can convert them for use in iMovie '08. Frankly, I don't understand your work work flow or why you want to import your files to a GOP editor in the first place if your goal is to do frame level editing in iMovie '08.
    As for Jon's suggestion, I am on dial-up and cannot download big files at 3-4 Kbps snail pace.
    What does this have to do with importing your camcorder files to your PC and re-burning them to DVD for use on your Mac? If I were to make a recommendation here, it would have been to use an external hard drive here rather than DVDs for transporting files between platforms and then only if you want the files available to both. If your goal is only to edit them in iMovie '08 or iMovie HD on your Mac, then why not cut out the "middleman" platform?
    I wish I could purchase these updates on DVDs but the genies couldn't even tell me if there's such a service.
    Totally confused here. Are you saying your DVR-D300 files were commercial produced or that you are dealing with torrent downloads of copy-written material? These are two separate issues with facets beyond the scope of this forum.
    As for "platform", I have iMovie08. iMac does not read the mini RAM disks when I connect the camera to a USB port.
    Are you saying the Finder doesn't read them or that iMovie '08 doesn't read them? Do you "finalize" your DVDs before trying to read them via USB as the manual states may be necessary as indicated on page 150 of your manual?
    How can I find out that iMovie09 will let me import and edit my Panasonic videos?
    You could try going to the Apple site and checking the the tapeless camcorder compatibility chart. The Panasonic DVR-D300 is specifically listed along with a hot link for additional information. However, this still won't help you you don't finalize the content.

  • IMovie 8: No sound while importing

    Can anyone tell me the reason why iMovie 8 has no audible sound when importing via firewire from a camera. iMovie6 had the option and I don´t see any reason why iMovie 8 lost it.
    Overall I´m not sure if I should have made the move anyway as iMovie 6 seems to be better organised and easier to use. maybe it has something to do with a learning curve but currently I´m not completely happy with the update.
    Am I alone?
    best regards
    Raindog

    +Probably to keep from confusing users with its need to "stop & go" for most captures. I.e., MPEG-2 an HDV captures must be converted to AIC so the content is most likely imported as "packets" -- read source to fill a buffer, convert what is in the buffer, save the converted file data, and start all over again. Since audio would be broken, most users would probably either complain that iMovie was "broken" or want Apple to figure a way to fix this without having to purchase huge external drives to hold "one-shot" conversions, so I assume Apple simply decided to avoid the problem altogether by by not even attempting to play audio during the capture process. Besides, it save CPU which can be better used in converting the video content which some people already complain about taking too long even though the HD work flow is already trying to push 6-7 times as much data (i.e., when decompressed) as they did with simple DV captures of SD content.+
    Sounds reasonable to me. It´s not a showstopper as I can listen to the audio on my camcorder instead. Just found the way iMovie 6 handles it more comfortable
    +There is nothing to prevent you from using either or both for any given project.+
    Fair enough. But I paid 80 EUR (> 100$)for the update and this is a little expensive just to use the old version.
    +It requires a change in "mind set." Programmers will likely be more comfortable with the "modular" nature of the new iLife software whereas "process" oriented individuals will find the old way of editing more "natural." Mentally "ambidextrous" users will probably switch back and forth between the two without a second thought about the matter.+
    Not sure about that. I made a complete mind (re)set years ago when switching from OS9 to OSX (which made sense). I understood the move from G5 to Intel (which made sense) with all the problems caused by it. But I´m not sure if I want to follow programmers who´s idea is to automate everything and disturb the workflow by clotting a programm with additional windows only to obsessively have all the files on your computer visible in one place. Not sure if this is an improvement (at least not for me)
    BTW: Reading the online manual helped a lot and I´m partly happy with the programm now. Maybe it´s because the programms get more and more complex or I´m just getting older but reading the manual was something for windows users. Now there is some need for it for us too

  • No sound when importing mpg

    I've imported an mpg file into Final Cut Express and it plays but there is no audio. Same thing in iMovie. I have flip 4 mac and it plays fine in quicktime, but when I import it to Final Cut Express or IMovie there is no sound. What do I need to do to get sound?

    Mpeg2 movies must have their audio demuxed first.
    The way I prefer is to use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the mpeg2 file to a .mov file before importing to FCE. You also need the Quicktime MPEG Playback component (20$) by Apple to let Streamclip to read the mpeg2 files. It's important you export from MPEG Streamclip (Export to Quicktime, NOT Export to DV!) using the standard parameters for FCE: video DV-PAL or NTSC (fps 25 or 29,97 fps), audio stereo uncompressed, 16-bit, 48 kHz.

  • Importing MPEG 4 Movie into Keynote 2

    After spending 5 days trying to import MPEG 4 video from a Canon Optura 500 videocam, I have learned:
    Can't be done. Calling Apple help today, confirmed no possible solution to get the movies into Keynote. I tried everything and read all help information in Keynote and imovie.
    What I did for a do or die presentation: Import clip from camera (no editing allowed, as your edits will be lost on transfer) into imovie, copy and paste from imovie to keynote 2, copy and paste from Keynote 2 to POWERPOINT!
    click on movie on a powerpoint slide and click view, click custom animation, click on your clip and click extras, pick play on click, and you can now play your MPEG4 movie in a slide show.
    An apple rep once told me, in an Apple store, that "Keynote was Powerpoint on steroids". See how bad steroids are for you.

    sigh...while Keynote is an amazing product, the Apple store workers tend to over hype it, to the point of making it sound like it has EVERy feature of PPT, when it's really missing a ton of stuff still. Visually though, I have to agree, it makes PPT look like a toy.
    That said, I'm trying to figure out what exactly your process was, and what did and didn't work. I looked up the specs on the 500, and it appears that while you can shoot in true DV format onto mini DV tape, it also shoots Mpeg4 onto the photo card. Is this what you shot in (as opposed to DV format onto tape)? If so, I'm trying to figure out how you even got it into iMovie as opposed to iPhoto, which is what you use to import movies from a media card. Also, I don't understand your comment on edits getting lost.
    Next, your use of the term slide show is confusing, but I THINK what you'd like is to see the movie sitting there on a poster frame until you want it to play, and then click to make it play. You can do this to an extent, but you have to work around a few missing features in Keynote. Keynote STILL won't let you leave the poster frame showing on the slide and then have the movie play on a click...you'll actually see NOTHING until you trigger the movie as you have to add a build to the movie, and until it builds, you won't see the thing. The work around is to grab a frame of the movie and paste it onto the slide, then build the movie in right on top of it.
    I hope that helps. If you can give more details on what you did and what you TRIED to do, and what you want to end up with, I can try to help you figure it out.
    EDIT: ah, I see this in a review "Playback of media from the card and the tape is available in playback mode, as is recording to a VCR or a digital video (DV) device using a FireWire cable." which means you "should" be able to import into iMovie. The real draw back is you're working with mpeg4 and not DV...and Mpeg4 is REALLY compressed, not a good format to use if you plan to edit it as you'll have to decompress and recompress, losing quality (DV is also compressed, but not nearly as much).

Maybe you are looking for
