Cant get sound on .avi file

I have a file that needed the XviD codec, and I installed it. But now I dont have sound...
I went to the site again with my 3 pc's running XP home, XP Media Center, and Vista Ultimate and downloaded the codec and the video works perfectly fine. (Downloaded the proper codec for each OS).
Can anyone help me figure out how to get sound? I know it isnt the video, because it works fine on my 3 pc's. Also, one of my movies has the audio encoded with "AC-3" codec or something.... Can someone give me a link to download the proper "ac-3" codec for Mac?

Thanks for the help. I got all to play. But they are missing the audio.
Most of the Videos are
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 616 x 336, Unknown
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz"
And the last video is
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 768 x 432, Millions
AC3, 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs), 48.000 kHz"
I checked to make sure that it wasn't my sound messed up... or on mute. And I am able to hear stuff from Safari and Front Row.

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());
System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
dataVector.addElement(row);
System.out.println("outside loop: " + row);
headVector.addElement("Title");
headVector.addElement("Type");
dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
if (dis != null) {
try {
dis.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
} // end if
} // end finally
} // end dbTest

Suddenly I cant get sound on the music I have purchased on Apple TV. Movies

Suddenly I cant get sound on the Music I have purchased on Apple TV. Movies and TV Shows sound is ok

Welcome to the Apple Community Ree Ree
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

No sound recording avi files using Camileo S20

Hi all
I got the s20 on thursday and it has been a nightmare. Before the sound went i couldn't get the video files to work in Movie Edit Pro or sony vegas.
It didn't even work in the Arcsoft software that came with it.
I have tried it on three differant computers and it keeps showing up with no audio.
I have tried all the codecs you can think of and none of them worked. Now i cant hear any sound even when i play it back on the S20.
I dont really now what to do. I have two other hd camcorders and they work fine on my computer.
I have had to re-format my computer as the codecs had messed it up. If i had my way i would send it back and be done with it but i have to wait until tomorrow before i can contact this number which i have been given.
What i want to know is:
Is there any way i can get the avi files to work in sony vegas and movie edit pro 15 plus?
Any help or advise would be welcome.
thanks
regards
Chrisc74

>Is there any way i can get the avi files to work in sony vegas and movie edit pro 15
As far as I know the S20 creates the h264 encoded videos.
This means that you need the H264 codex in order to get video and sound on your notebook.
I cannot say anything about the sony vegas or movie edit pro software because I dont use it.
But I edited my videos using the common widows movie maker and everything was ok.

No Sound playing AVI files in Quicktime Pro - help!

Help! I just bought QT Pro for Windows(Xp) to convert my AVI files to Mpeg4 for my Ipod. The Apple Store sales guy promised it could be done. I see video but no sound on all of the AVI files. For example, on 2 of my AVI video files, according to Gspot, the video codecs are "divx 3 low motion" and "Xvid" and they are installed on my pc. According to Gspot, the audio codec required is "0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3" which can play on
--> {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)}
--> {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}
which are both installed on my pc, yet I have no sound. I am stuck! The bit rate is 128. Should I be using another audio codec??? Where can I get it? Help! Anyone?

Some of the avi files created on PCs use variable bit rate mp3 souind. QT will not play that type of mp3 in avi files.
One way to deal with the issue is to convert the mp3 to a QT-friendly format. You can try this process, using this freeware Windows program: VirtualDub
Open the problem file in VirtualDub. Set the Video mode to Direct Stream Copy. That will copy the video to the new file with no change. Set the Audio to Full Processor Mode. Then set the compression to IMA compression. Now use Save As Avi in the File menu to make a new file with a new name. Since only the audio is being changed it is a fairly rapid process.
One last thing. To do this you do have to have the Windows codecs for those video formats installed. That is, you have to be able to play them in Windows Media Player. QT uses completely different codecs.

No sound for AVI files with Quicktime

I know this is a well discussed topic, but I can't seem to fix this problem.
I upgraded to Quicktime 7.5 and quickly found that I cannot get audio/sound out of my AVI files (most are short clips taken with my Casio Exlim Digital Camera). I tried installing Perian, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling QT, and that didn't work. I tried repairing disk permissions and that didn't work. Finally, I thought perhaps I had a bad AppleIntermediateCodec file. I downloaded version 1.0.1 from Apple, but it won't let me load it - acts like its an update to an existing file, but the file is not on my system. Here is the contents of my Library/Componets folder:

I am the admin on the system, but I have two other accounts for my sons. Can anyone out there give me a clue as to what I should do next? Thanks.
DadioCruton

I am having the same problem. But it's even weirder. Any .avi file I created using my Flip Ultra camera will play with sound. One or two .avi movies I've d/l'd from the 'net will also play with sound. The remainder will not play with sound on QT (7.5). I have VLC, Real and DivX Player loaded, and all .avi files play on those players with sound, no problem.
Now, my Library/Components folder is empty. My Library/QuickTime folder has the following:
3ivxVideoCodec.component
AC3MovieImport.component

No sound from avi files - soundtrack is ms format?

Anyone know how to get qucktime to play avi files where the soundtrakc element is 'ms' format. the video part is mp4 and i think the whole file is divx

I have been having the same problem with DivX files that are encoded with MP4 video and AC3 audio (Digital Dolby Surround 5.1). I always get the picture but no sound. The QT does offer to take me to a web page which offers a variety of codec’s and plug-ins, but it does not specify which one it would desire...:-)
As far as I can see, the only solution to the problem is to have the problematic files recoded with a suitable program. In my case, Visual Hub does the job just fine. It is a waste of time, but what can you do... It would be lovely if Visual Hub had "video pass through" option do avoid video conversion or recoding...
If you do not feel like paying for Visual Hub, try FFmpeg, which is nice, but not very user friendly if you do not know what combinations of audio and video encoding you want as your final product, not to mention “encapsulation” (mov, avi wvm, rm…). VLC can also do the recoding, and it does usually do a good job, but as with FFmpeg, it is not easy to setup.
Good luck and I hope I shed at least some light to your problem.

No sound in avi files (MPEG Layer 3 format)

Ok. here's another take on this problem maybe someone can please help me with. overall objective is to convert avi files to "ipod ready" files using quicktime. at first when any of these files were opened in quicktime, i had no sound and a white screen while the file was "playing". it took me a very long time but finally found the necessary video codec so i now have the video.
however, i am still not getting anywhere with the sound problem. when i go to video properties in quicktime it says the audio track of the files are in MPEG Layer 3 format. so, naturally i began searching for this audio codec. when i found one on freecodecs from Fraunhofer, downloaded, and installed, nothing changed. unfortunately i cannot find any other version of this codec and cannot figure out how to get quicktime to use the codec from Fraunhofer.
Please help!!!!

Hey. Thanks for the info. I have found the program and will give it a shot. In the meantime I have been using a program I found called Digital Media Converter which seems to be working great (a little slow but does the job). However, I was wondering if one of you who is most familiar with the Windows OS could answer a question. I have encountered an error when I tried converting video files in the past and with this new program. It seems to be internal to Windows. After a file is converted to an mp4 and I go to the conversion folder to look at the file...whenever I click on that mp4 file or go to use it the Windows Explorer crashes giving one of those report sender windows that Windows generates after a problem. Now what is really strange is that despite Explorer crashing, I can move that box out of the way, continue to work with the file (place it in iTunes), delete the original (as iTunes stores its own copy), reset the Explorer, and then it's like nothing ever happened.
Is it normal for the Explorer to crash under these circumstances? And, is there anything I can do to fix that?
I'll be trying the MPEG Streamclip program in the meantime. I have located it on the web but not installed just yet. I'll get back to you. Thanks for all the help guys!

JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

Hi,
I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
play any sound.
I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

I discovered the same problem too..
I think it is a general Format problem.
When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
This track was a video track, no audio at all.
Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..

Getting voice on AVI files

When I play AVI files in iphoto that were imported from my digital camera, I get no sound. I know sound is being recorded, because I can hear it when I play the video file directly on my camera. imovie will not allow me to import the AVI file or open it once it is on my computer. Perhaps there is some other software I need to access or purchase. Is there some way to access the audio portion of AVI movie files? Silent movies went out of style a long time ago!

It sounds like you will need to get VisualHub ( http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ ) and convert your problem AVI files to DV. (That's what I have to do with my AVI files with the same problem.)

How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with the DETAILS asked for in the questions at the end of that link

Cant get com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only entitlement to work

Hey I am curious how can I get the .ipa compiled file for iOS to be able to read all the directories on the iPhone?
I made a file browser but I cant get to the pictures
I tried adding the entitlements in Flash Builder 4.6 in the descriptor file like this:
<key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only</key>
<true/>
<key>com.apple.security.assets.pictures.read-only</key>
<true/>
in the
<iPhone>
<Entitlements>
<![CDATA[
I got Push notifications working and accepted in the app store but it can't read the pictures directory when browsing for a file
I know the app id and stuff is set up right or I wouldnt have been able to get it accepted in the app store. In the entitlements area of course I have the application identifier set and aps-environment and keychain access groups and whatnot set up right.
When I try to put the app onto the iPhone with iTunes it just says 'Entitlements are not valid' (does not mention anything about mismatched ids) I can't find anything about how to add this entitlement and I could have sworn I saw a thing that said I can just use the descriptor file to add entitlements in some of the documentation I have it set to use air 3.4
Is there something I am doing wrong, how do I get apple to just put these entitlements in the mobileprovision file, I cant seem to edit it, if I do I also get an error in itunes that is some hex code...

No sound on AVI files with QT 7.5

Hi,
I have a bunch of avi files and only a few of them have sound. They all worked fine before I downloaded the newest version of quicktime. Any suggestions? I was the pacifist option but I am not sure I know how to remove/install the downgraded version
Thanks for the help!

I've got the same problem. None of my AVI files now play sound after applying all software updates (also pushing me up to QuickTime 7.5).
I only found this out after burning some to a DVD and discovering there was no sound on the disc.
The AVI files play perfectly in VLC 0.8.6h. Do I assume something has got screwed up with QuickTime?

No sound from ".AVI" files

Every time I play a ".AVI" file (or MPEG) I can see the video perfectly but not any sound.
What do I need to do?
Thanks

Install Perian. Search here in the future and you won't wait for an answer as this is asked about 100 times a day.

Quiktime 7.7 plays no sound with .AVI files

Quiktime used to play sound for my .avi files, but no longer does.

After the install of Perian 1.1 drag the AC3 codec out of the folder it is in as Perian handles AC3. BTW AC3 is Dolby Digital codec for audio and not the problem with an AVI file.
