CNN video clip news play only sound but no video

I downloaded the latest windows player and also Quick time Flip for windows. None seems to work. Only the sound of the streaming video came through but no picture. What's wrong with my Safari? Anybody got some input what I did went wrong. Apple computer is not very good with playing most web movies.

I have a MacBook with Quick Time 7.1.1 and I'm having the same trouble with .avi files; the sound plays, but no video just white screen. Also, when I try to use QT a screen comes that says I need some QT components and directs me to the QT website. I have tried to download some of the components and still no luck.
Is there anyone having this same problem, and if so does anyone know how to fix it.
Thanks

Airplay with sound but no video - just a movie label

When using airplay, I hear the sound on my TV but no video. It just shows the movie/tv series "label" on the lower left corner. Anyone had this problem? I have the new Ipad and Apple TV 2. Does this make sense?

Just been back into iTunes, and a video file that I have saved in TVshows tab plays fine!!!
Bizarre
Hop someone can help

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:

On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.

Airplay only sound no video

airplay only sound no video

I am trying to watch NBC, ABC, CBS and other channels. I tried from Safari right from the net work and the app they provide. I get the sound and no video. I see this problem all over mac forums and Mac rumors. Then it hit me duh, why aren't I asking this question in apple support? So here I am. I have never had an issue with airplay it has always work flawlessly. Now it is a no show tv shows. I hope I can get a answer here. Are they somehow blocking the video from using airplay? Some one please give a Apple TV addict a hand. Thank you for your time, David

Sound but no video through composite and s-video

I have a QIP2500-3 STB. My tv is a FHD2400, its a monitor by Gateway.
There is 2 other QIP25003 STB around the house. As welI, also get only sound and no video while using S-Video.
I've checked the wire, and there is current flowing but no signal.
Coax works fine, its only s-video and composite that does not work on all 3 of my STB.
I have tested the S-video and composite on my monitor with a DVD player and using the Wii. They work fine, its only the STB that does not display video on these ports.
The STB has displayed video through S-video and composite before. But that was before a black out that had occured.
After the blackout, S-Video and composite DID NOT work at all.
How do I get the STB to display video using those ports?
OR
Should I simply replace my STB?

Never had any issues with the S-Video or composite on my 2 2500's. Sounds like something may have fried during your blackout. I would attempt to get the boxes replaced or get a service call. I might also suggest adding surge protection to all the boxes (a UPS would be even better) if you don't have it already.

Trouble shoot Issue in QT Pro: I have sound but no Video after convert

I hope this hasn't been answered somewhere else if so I apologize. I have been using QuickTime Pro to convert .mkv files to .mp4. I muxed them with MkvMerge. Then I open them in QuickTime Pro and export as a mp4 for Ps3 playback. They are 1080p Hd movie files and I have had no problems until today. I have one mkv that when converted to mp4 plays only sound and no video. Its just a black screen. I checked the muxed files when I open them in QT Pro and they work fine so its only after I convert the .mka to .mp4 that I have the video issue. I've already done a few other files so I don't know why this isn't working? Any ideas?

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:

Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
http://www.plexapp.com/
Maybe worth a try?

After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.

Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,
Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

HT204291 I can hear sound, but no video

I just hooked up my Apple TV - I have an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to do mirroring and I can hear sound, but no video. Any suggestions?

It Depends on the app you are trying to airplay. Most apps do not allow content to airplay with video and will disable the video so all you will hear is the audio. If the app you are using does not have a built in airplay function and you have to use the iphone to make it work than most likley that is the case as I described above.
It has to do with copyright protection and what the app is allowing apple to do.

My apple tv works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. have sound but no video.

My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov
When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys,
here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
easiest way:
you can do a standard import of a .swf video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
'preloadnetthing' way:
upload your videos to a url location - something like www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
(I never use capital letters or spaces)
file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
this will add the file to the add list
set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
now press Import
at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
now comes the code part
To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
(although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
*** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***
on beginSprite

tellStreamStatus(TRUE)

Ipod classic sound but no video

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this, for it is becoming rather frustrating to deal with. I finally got a new universal dock for my new 160 gb ipod, along with a dynex a/v cord to hook up to my tv to watch various videos. I get everything hooked up, switch the video out to yes, and I get the sound, but no video. Does anyone know what is going on or what I am doing wrong (if anything)? To error on the side of simplicity, I will assume it is something on my end, but I want to make sure before I take the dynex a/v cord back. Oh, the a/v cord is composite, by the way, for that is the only connection I can use easily, without dismantling everything, but I would think that would work just fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg
ps. I have a feeling that since the a/v cable connects via the headphone jack, and since video is disables thru this, that may be the reason. Again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I just wrote this in response to another topic about the classic and the video out so I figured it might help here. Maybe if we all say enough about it apple will fix the issue so we can use our items. This is rediculous that it would not work with items that have already been purchased, even items purchased that apple resells in the store seem to have issues. Check out the article that I found and posted below.
I am having the same problem but with my philips dcp750 that I recently purchased. I was able to use it with my old 30gb iPod video but can not get it to work with new classic. The problem is that I can't switch the classics settings to turn the iPod's video out to on. I did some searching on the web and found out that with the new classic it seems apple has hidden from everyone that you can not use the video out anymore unless you use some type of special unlocking mechanisms that will be built in units. It may work with some items but it looks like apple does not want it to by default. Here is an article I found about it while doing some searching why it wouldn't work. Not sure if this is being rectified in a new firmware update or it is actually purposely done by apple. I hope they are going to fix this because I would not of purchased a new classic if I had known that it would not work with the items I have for it.

Welcome To Apple Discussions!
You should try as Barbera Hall suggested. Then you should update your iPod(thats if you havent already)to version 1.1.1

MPEG2 Sound but NO Video on playback

I have QT Pro w/the MPEG2 Plug in (both current version) running on OSX 10.4.11 and when I try to open/play a file I get sound but no video. The file works fine with VLP and if I use Handbrake to encode the file in MPEG4 it will play. Why doesn't the MPEG2 file play? That's why I bought the plug in... Is there some other magic that needs to be done?

I looked at the encoding and it was MPEG so now at least I understand the QT not playing part. Yes the original file was from TIVO downloaded via TiveDecode Manager. I was hoping not to have to do any more encoding to get it to play in QT (want to use a Mac Mini as a Media Center). Using Handbrake I can encode to MPEG4 which does play just fine, it just can take hours to encode. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know. I know on solution is to use VLP as the player but it's not supported in Front Row (from what I can see). Thanks for the help Matti..
