Converted mpeg-2 to m4v yet no sound

I converted an mpeg-2 file to m4v via quicktime (with that 20 dollar upgrade). I get the video and it plays on itunes and apple TV, however, no sound. I guess I need to do something with the audio codec or something. Any ideas? Thanks.

QuickTime Pro can't extract the audio track from MPEG (1 or 2 format) files.
Do the work with MPEG Streamclip (free).

How do i correctly convert mpeg videos so they work on my ipod?

is someone used by using mediacoder and can tell me how i should change the options to convert mpeg files so the video and sound works on my ipod?

I have the same problem - I thought I was the only one!
I converted my mpg videos using Itunes, then transferred them to my Ipod. But, when I go to play the videos, the video works fine, but there's no audio! I think this is a problem with the muxing of the audio and video tracks. I've heard that you have to extract the audio from the mpg file so you not only have a video file, but a separate audio file. Then I guess you mate the files togethter somehow in order for it to work on the Ipod. I've heard of a program that can fix this for Macs (ffmpegx), but I have a PC.

Converting MPEGs to play sound on Imovie

Hi
Last night a friend took his camera over to try and improve some of his movies on my Imovie. Every thing went fine until I imported it into Imovie and the sound was lost. It seemed to be the software as the movie clip played fine through Quicktime. When we delved into the help menues it did tell us that the sound had been lost if we were importing an MPEG. THis was true enough when we checked. What confused us was that other clips were playing fine in Imove however these were from my own camera and were AVI files.
We couldn't however find any help on how to solve the problem. I tried saving the MPEG file to and AVI in IMovie but this obviously had no sound either.
Can anyone tell me how i can get these MPEGs to play in IMOVIE with sound??
regards
aw

hi
thanks for the advice.
I see that i am using Imovie HD 6.0.3. I don't know whether that makes any difference?
So I have to download Imovie 8 and if i import the MPEGs into it the sound should come through?
or do i still have to convert the MPEGS into AVI. I don't want to if i can get the MPEGS tpo play sound.

Movies converted by QT Pro 7.01 lose sound

Converting movies from MPG (1 & 2) and even MOV to formats like MPG-4 and M4V lose all sound. All other aspects of laptop's sound working well...
PC Laptop Windows XP

QT has never exported sound from muxed mpeg formats like mpeg-1 or -2. QT Mpeg Limitations
That does not explain why it would happen with a .mov file but some .mov files turn out to be mpegs with a QT wrapper and those would also not export sound. Open the problem .mov file in QT Player and see what the format really is by looking at MovieInfo.

How can i convert MPEG file to midi or wav format

Hi,
Can any one help me in converting MPEG music file to midi or wav format.
I am trying to import it to my 3D application to run my animation but have to convert it to midi or wav format.
Can anyone help me please. Audition can do this job ?
Steve

For a start, MIDI isn't a sound format, so you can't possibly convert mpeg to that. All MIDI is is a way of sending note-on, note-off, etc information. It stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface - gives you a bit of a clue, really...
Audition will automatically convert any file it can open to wav (that's how it works), but since you haven't said what sort of mpeg file it is (and this is significant), we can't tell you any more until you do.

Recommended Workflow for Converting from .avi to .m4v

I would like to take an edited .avi file and prepare it for playing on both iPods and in QuickTime/iTunes. I downloaded the trial version of PE7 to see if I could use it for this. From what I understand and have tried out, I can create an h.264 (MPEG-4, part 10) .mp4 file using PE7. What is the best way to convert this to the .m4v format? My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate. I tried using iTunes to convert it, but the resulting file did not play smoothly. I also tried downloading MPEG Streamclip and found I could not play the .mp4 file smoothly.
Am I sacrificing quality by starting with a tool that cannot export to .m4v, namely PE7?

Thank you so much. I appreciate your time very much. That link is quite interesting and will help me understand what I'm dealing with better.
I'm doing this for a podcast, so I need to have one file that will work for everyone who has iTunes or an iPod to include in the rss feed as an enclosure. I don't want to maintain two feeds.
So I think I'm going to try QuickTime Pro and hope that solves my woes.
I'm wondering now if I should still buy PE7 for editing. I like the product and have spent some time with it now. Of course, I wish I could do everything just in PE7 but don't think that's possible at this point.
So I still have a question about the workflow if anyone can help. Just to clarify, if I import .avi files into PE7 and do some editing, then can I just export to .avi and then open the new .avi file in QuickTime? Is that the workflow I would use? I'm assuming that QuickTime Pro can de-interlace the video, change the pixel aspect ratio, and allow me to make other adjustments to reduce the file size. I would export from QuickTime as .mp4 and hope that .mp4 files that QuickTime renders will work in the latest version of the QuickTime player. Otherwise, I'll have to export to .m4v, which I don't think can be used by other players???
Anyway, I think I'm on the road to a solution. Hopefully, QuickTime Pro won't have similar issues.
Thanks again for your time and advice.

Converting AVI files to M4V files in Quicktime Pro

Hello,
I am trying to convert AVI files to M4V files in Quicktime Pro.
I open the file in the player, click Save As, click the setting, and it goes through the process and stalls with 5 seconds left. Anybody experience this?
Thanks, Steve

I open the file in the player, click Save As, click the setting, and it goes through the process and stalls with 5 seconds left.
If you are really using QT 7 Pro under Leopard, then be advised that the "Save As..." does not trascode AVI content (whatever its compression formats) to H.264/AAC in an M4V container but merely places the original content in an MOV file container. In this case, if the file stalls in the last 5 seconds, then the problem is usually associated with a problem of trascoding the audio or a problem writing/closing the MOV file. This could be caused by anything from a lack of audio codec support, a component conflict, or File level Finder problem.
If you are actually using QT X under Snow Leopard, then the "Save As... > Movie" option functions essentially the same as the QT 7 Pro "Save As..." option already described above. Selecting one of the other options that do transcode the content may have the same problem described above or may encounter a "bug" which causes the final file to "disapprear"/never be made visible at the Finder level.
If using QT 7 Pro under either Leopard or Snow Leopard, ensure that the compression formats used in the AVI container are actually supported by your system configuration. If you have recently upgraded your OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard, you may wish to re-install your AVI support component(s) and ensure there are not known or obvious component conflicts. If using QT X under Snow Leopard, you may wish to install QT 7 (if you have a "Pro" key" or try the free MPEG Streamclip as a QT 7 "Pro" alternative.

Converting MTS file to m4v

I am editing a wedding dvd. My camera shoots AVCHD and I am editing it in FCE using eay set up AIC 1440 x 1080i50
I have some files from a friends camera that I need to edit in.. I have them on a USB stick in MTS format only. I have been able to convert them using handbrake to a m4v file. Should I use them as this or convert to .mov file using MPEG streamclip for FCE?
Any advice is much appreciated, I may be going the wrong way about this.

I have them on a USB stick in MTS format only.
It will help a lot if you tell us the exact make/model camcorder your friend used.
Assuming it was originally AVCHD video, you will need to use ClipWrap to convert the MTS files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. As far as I know, MPEG Streamclip will not work with bare MTS files. (Bare = meaning just the MTS files, missing the AVCHD folder structure that needs to be present for most apps to recognize the video.)
Also, Handbrake is totally the wrong app to use in this situation. Ditto for converting the files to M4V or MP4. Ditto for doing multiple conversions. You want to convert directly from the MTS files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec.

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

Converting mpegs to a reasonable size file for final cut pro

I've been using mpeg streamclip and converting mpeg files so that I can edit them in Final Cut, but after the conversion the files are double, sometimes tripled the size they used to be. a 15 minute mpeg, once converted into quicktime format is just about 3gigs. i have some clips that are almost 3 hours, once converted, they will be way too hard to work with and burn onto dvd. i've tried multiple exports through streamclip trying to figure which would be the fastest, and be the smallest in size. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. these segments need to be edited for a job I'm working on, so they need to be done soon. thanks

If you're using DV as the format you edit with, it will take a gig for every 4.7 minutes of video... there's no way around this... Photo JPEG would likely be as large and look much the same most likely.
Quite frankly, any lower data rate resulting in smaller files will probably look pretty bad...
Hey, hard drives are cheaper than they used to be, and subclipping long clips sure makes them more manageable editorially...

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov.... Why? Is there a way to stop that or to change the settings?

After I upgraded to Mavericks, Quicktime has had to convert MPEG-4 videos to .mov.... Why? Is there a way to stop that or to change the settings?
Your question requires more information. What does MPEG-4 mean to you? What file container and which compression formats are you referring to here? Is the MPEG-4 content "standard" or proprietary. Basically, depending on the file container and the specific content, QT X v10.3 may initiate a conversion ever where the individual data tracks are fully QT compatible. Proprietary compression formats will definitely do this. In some cases, the audio or video in one source container may simply be passed through to the MOV file while in another source container, QT X v10.3 forces a conversion of that same data track. In short, there are too many variables at this point to properly answer your question or attempt to duplicate your workflow.

Converting MPEG file to DV File

I had a program on my computer to convert mpeg files to dv files so that I could burn them using IDVD. It was streaming clip or something like that. I found it on the apple website. I have looked and looked and cannot find the free download that I had before. If anyone knows were to go to get this streaming clip program, or anything that would help me achieve the same results in converting mpeg files to dv files, please let me know

Just found my old program download at the following link. The product is MPEG Stream Type and you can find it at this site: http://www.alfanet.it/squared5/mpegstreamclip.html
