Convert to AppleTV, no audio

I have some video clips recorded on my digital camera in mpg which I am able to play in both iTunes and Quick Time but not on the apple tv.
I have just bought Quick Time Pro to be able to convert the files to the apple tv format. But when I do so the audio disappears. I have also tried the conversion possibility in iTunes.
What can I do?

QuickTime (and the apps that use it) can't extract audio from muxed file formats.
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) for the conversion.

Convert from AIFF-C audio to midi

I'm looking for a way to convert from AIFF-C format to midi on my Mac, and to use with a music program.
I can import the AIFF-C file into GarageBand, but can't seem to export it in midi format, which surprised me -- is this not supported?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies.
I did a bit of research, and see that there are a number of software products out there that claim to convert audio to midi, but I also see that reviewers report mixed results. So before exploring or trying one of these, somewhat blindly, I was hoping to see if there were any options I had missed with Mac software I already own and trust, from GarageBand to QuickTime to Finale's PrintMusic (have I missed anything?).
And if not, then I'm hoping to get more info from Mac users about what you may have tried and what works best. Here are some of the leading options I've tripped across so far, converting to midi from audio formats AIFF-C and mp3 (since I have easy access to the source as well as the ripped versions):

... and then I just found this one: http://convert.software.informer.com/download-convert-aiff-to-midi-mac/
If you have any thoughts about any of the above, or other techniques or software that would do the job, I'm all ears!
Thanks!

*** Formatting problems converting for AppleTV

I've converted for AppleTV many times in the past with no problem but I'm experiencing a big problem now.
1. When exporting a full quality QT (self-contained) file from Final Cut Pro and then encoding for AppleTV from that QT file, the result is an AppleTV converted file that has noticeable interlacing. We shoot HDV (1080i). In the past this has not been an issue.
2. I tried exporting for AppleTV directly from the Final Cut Pro timeline and the resulting AppleTV encode is 4:3!!!!! What?
Are there some good 'ole preferences I should be trashing? The interlacing and text quality I'm currently getting just isn't acceptable.
Thanks in advance!

Have the same issue with DV through imovie, I know it's different circumstances but it's the same issue, I'm in the UK and wonder if my problem is because of regional differences in field dominance, you don't say where you are from. Any way my workaround is to take the full quality export from imovie and push it through streamclip to do the de-interlacing and the AVC conversion.,

I want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file

i want to convert the MPEG-4 Audio (.m4a) to a window media audio file, i downloaded some songs so i can run them with a photo slide show on my samsung video. the machine would not play them (could not find them) the files that work are all windows media audio

You can't convert to WMA with iTunes. I'd be surprised if the software can't read mp3 files. iTunes can convert to that. Otherwise there are free format converters out on the web. The suite from http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/ is handy and includes an audio convertor. There is no need to install their toolbar or any other 3rd party software that gets offered.

Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard f

I bought Quicktime pro because it said it could "Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard formats". I have .mov that i took and want to change to an .avi
I feel stupid but how do i do it? shouldn't there be a "convert" or "save as" button?

AVI isn't dead, it remains the ONLY format in which any real editing can be performed (ie filters and colors and zooms etc). That said, converting FROM any compressed format like .mov back to an uncompressed format will not restore the information lost in the original compression conversion. Like the man said, you probably won't like the result. If you want to make an AVI to edit artistically, you'll need to go back to the source and re-record it to make an original uncompressed avi (example I use 'DVD to AVI converter' software to recode my homemade DVDs to a huge uncompressed AVI, then play with cutting and cropping and zooming and special effects and color filters, etc in a program such as VirtualDub, an THEN open in QT Pro to convert to MOVs to share).

AppleTV Optical Audio Intermittent Drops

Have AppleTV connected to a BOSE Lifestyle system via optical audio cable. Works great except audio intermittently goes out for about 2 seconds and then comes back. This is, of course, annoying. Have checked cables and all are fine. Also use optical audio from DirecTV receiver with no sound drops, so seems to be an AppleTV issue. Have tried running diagnostics and restarting AppleTV with no change. Any known fixes for this? Anyone having similar problems?

The music has since played through the optical cable for several hours without any drops. Make any sense? Indicate anything?
If the optical cable connector is loose at one end or the other, or the cable is cracked and you moved it, it could be related to that, otherwise it's probably just a coincidence. A loosely connected or defective optical cable could be a possible cause of your problems.

Simultaneously video to AppleTV and audio to Express?

Hi All, can I simultaneously stream the video output of a movie on iTunes to my projector connected to an AppleTV and the audio output of the movie to speakers connected to Airport Express? When I try to use multiple speakers in iTunes on my Mac it doesn't work. Only output on AppleTV runs, but nothing over the AirportExpress to my external speakers.
Thanks,
MS

Do I understand you correctly: the atv will send the movie audio (coming from the ipad via airplay) to the airplay speakers?
No, that will not work.
If playing content on the ATV, directly on the ATV with no iDevice involved, the audio can be sent to AirPlay speakers.
As soon as an iDevice is involved in sending content to the ATV, the option to send audio to the AirPlay speakers is removed.

Converting Mov to FLV audio loss

Hi all,
This might be something someone could help me think. The problem I seem to be encountering is a loss of audio in the later quarter of videos converted into an flv from a quicktime mov (PAL 1024kbps / 29fps / 500x280), this typically happens on a file durration of upto 2 or 3mins. It doesnt happen when converting from a wmv, (also trying an AVI) although the outputed quality tends to be a lot less clearer using some of these other formats. Interestingly, when previewing the MOV in a quicktime player theres no signs that this will happen / no loss of audio / no blips in the frames around the later of the vid. Both the On2 VP6 or Sorrenson Spark cunjor the same fault.
I would love to here someones take on this
Many thanks
Matt

Welcome to the forums.
(PAL 1024kbps / 29fps / 500x280)
That's weird, PAL is 25fps 720x576.
converted into an flv from a quicktime mov
What did you use to convert? Perhaps try a different converter?
Cheers

Can you select or disable AppleTV's audio output?

I have my AppleTV connected to the television via HDMI and also connected to an amplifier via optical audio. I would like to disable the HDMI audio output as to not have the sound play through the television, but it does not appear to be configurable in the AppleTV menu. Is this possible?

Well I'm running update v.4.2.2 I don't have a solid internet connection to update the blasted thing. I have my optical audio plugged in and I'm getting signal lights through the cable but when its plugged into my reciever no sound comes out of my reciever, only the HDMI connection into the TV. I would like to fix it without haveing to jailbreak it and put xbmc on it.

"Render and replace" now converts to .mov, not audio wav files like before

In previous versions, the "render and replace" functionality allowed you to quickly extract audio from clips and turn them into audio files. Now in CC 2014 the audio gets replaced with another movie file with no video track. This is useless when trying to convert audio clips to .wav format for editing in 3rd party audio apps, which is what made it so great in the first place. Additionally this breaks functionality with PluralEyes, which required that you rendered and replaced segmented video clips like those from the C300. Now PluralEyes rejects the created .mov files with an "unsupported format" error.
Why was this changed? How do I change it back?

I too am now dipping my toes into Premiere Pro CC 2014 and just ran into this as well. Jeez!!!! Using Pluraleyes like you and just need to convert the audio portions to .mov audio. Now what????? I thought there might be 'presets' that were downloadable but I can't easily locate any. Why does Adobe do these things?

When I "Convert Selection For iPod" the converted file has no audio.HELP!!!

I have tried many times but the converted file always ends up with no audio.
The files I am trying to convert are just basic Windows Media Player video/movie files each under 1GB.

I have the same audio problem with .mov to .m4v conversion. The .mov conversions worked fine before, now audio is bad in .m4v - both in itunes & on ipod. I tried the sample_iTunes.mov & it is garbled too, upon conversion in itunes.
This audio problem happened once before in Quicktime when playing podcast videos on Quicktime on a different computer, then it cleared up.
I have no answers. Is it the new itunes 7.5.0.20 & windows?

Converted videos have no audio??

I converted my videos to be formatted to my ipod but when I tried to listen to it the music video had no sound or audio at all.
When I play the video on itunes it doesn't have any sound either but the unconverted video does have audio?

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

Convert PDF files to audio (mp3)

I need a way to convert my PDF files to mp3 so I can listen to them on the fly.
anyone knows a software that does this ?

Hi Michael,
you're wrong. this can be done.
I've looked at Omar Mefire's (http://omefire.blogspot.com) solution and it seems to do what I want.
He's working on a service that takes a PDF file, and converts it to audio (.wav and .mp3) .
drop him a mail if you are interested.

How would one convert Word files containing audio to a PC?

I'm not sure if it's possible, but how could I convert Word files that contain audio from a Mac laptop to a PC laptop? I really would appreciate any help, as I truly need these files for academic reasons. Thank you

Hi, theocularone -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
This particular forum is set aside for users of OS 9. Since you are using a MacBook Pro, you can not be using OS 9 (OS 9 is not usable with any Intel-processor Mac).
You would probably get a faster, more directed response if you reposted your question in the appropriate OSX forum. Depending upon which version of OSX you are using, you can access those here -
