Converting video to audio with Quicktime

Hi, I would like to know if there is any APIs that can be used to convert a video to a mp3 file by extracting the sound.
Thanks

Is this for iOS or OS X? Check out the Getting Started with Audio & Video guide to get started.

  • Mpeg2 DVD VOBs Video and Audio into QuickTime ?

    How can I read the mpeg2 VOB files from some DVD that we created into QuickTime Pro with the MPEG2 playback component ?
    We have an app that does video and audio processing built on QuickTime. After the processing is done the result is written to an mp4 file using QuickTime export. We now have to be able to read DVDs that we create into this app (QuickTime), and after processing we must se the QuickTime export option to create the mp4 file. These are not commercial DVDs and are not copy protected. I'd like to just be able to read the mpeg2 video and audio directly into QuickTime but I haven't yet found a good way to do this. Here is what I have tried:
    1) I can read individual VOB files with QuickTime, but I don't get any audio and I need all the VOB files as one.
    2) I have used MPEG Streamclip to open the DVD VOB files and exported the demuxed mpeg2 video and aiff audio. Both files open together in QuickTime but since the total size of the video is over 4 GB the video and audio are off and drift more so throughout the video.
    3) I used libdvdread to read the DVD and create a single MPEG2 file. This can be read by QuickTime but I don't get any audio. From what I understand this is muxed video and audio which QuickTime doesn't understand, but is playable by VLC.
    I think I could probably ulibdvdread to read the VOB files into a muxed MPEG2 file, then use ffmpeg to convert this to a very large DV stream, then import that into QuickTime, but there has to be a better way than to do the lengthly and large file size conversion to DV which is not a format I ultimately want.
    Before we go and write our own, I'm looking for a simple way to read the mpeg2 video and audio from a DVD format directly into QuickTime and preferably something that can be integrated into our app and not use another commercial stand alone app.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

  • I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...

    I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...tried xing out the red x, putting them in the trash...right clicking to make them disappear...nothing works...

    Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

  • Quicktime not play video only Audio with Lion

    I am trying to watch avi file through Quicktime the I only get audio and no video after Lion installed.
    I downloaded Perian again
    Whats the problem?

    There seems to be an issue with the version of Quicktime X (10.1) in Lion and Perian version 1.2.3.
    The are several options in terms of other media players (VLC, MPlayerX, RealPlayer [ugh…], and others…) that will handle FLV files with ease. Alternatively, you could run your video files through an encoder (HandBrake, MPEG Streamclip, SmartConverter, etc.) converting the files into something QuickTime naturally understands like an MP4 or MOV.
    But, you were probably happy when everything just worked with the QuickTime / Perian dynamic duo and just want it the way it was. It seems the best way to make this happen, is to go back to using Perian 1.2.2, for the moment anyway.  Seems to do the trick for anyone with this problem, so…
    1. Remove Perian 1.2.3 from the system.
    Quit all your apps, expecially QuickTime. Open System Preferences and click on Perian.  You're looking for the "Remove Perian" button; just click and if it asks, type your password. Next, back to the main System Preferences screen where you right-click(or control-click) on the Perian icon.  A menu pops up with the choice to remove the Preference Pane.  Click on it and Perian is officially uninstalled.
    2. Restart the computer
    Probably overkill, but better than having to repeat the process because you didn't.
    3. Download and install Perian 1.2.2
    Get it here: http://perian.cachefly.net/Perian_1.2.2.dmg , or here:http://www.videohelp.com/download/Perian_1.2.2.dmg
    Once its downloaded mount the disk image, but proceed with care.  Perian will likley try to upgrade itself right after you install it. Best thing to do: disconnect from the net for the install process. Then as usual double-click the "Perian.prefpane" file, choose who you'd like to install it for, and enter your password as needed. Finally, right before reconnecting your machine to the world, uncheck the "Automatically Update" box in the Perian preferences.
    Try testing one of the FLVs in QuickTime or QuickLook and with a bit of luck, radio becomes TV.
    Oh… and on the off chance it doesn't work and you want to watch some FLVs?  Use VLC (http://www.videolan.org), or convert them with HandBrake (http://handbrake.fr).
    Good luck!

  • Youtube videos only open with quicktime--small screen/no audio. Flash works with Safari, not Firefox.

    I've updated flash, reset Firefox, restarted Mac. Youtube videos will not load with Flash. They open with Quicktime in a 1x2 inch box of low res images with no audio.

    Open up your preferences/Options and open up applications. From here check the preferences for youtube files. In about:permissions you can check the preferences for youtube.com as well.

  • How can I convert video for iPhone with multiple audio/subtitle? (I am using Windows)

    Handbreak is available on Windows platform, however its conversion speed is too slow!
    I hope there are some tools that can combine my converted video together with my audio track and subtitle, and I can select between audio or subtitle inside my iPhone 4.
    Anybody can help me??

    Hi,
    Have you found a solution for this? Can anyone help with this?
    If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks how can you play this on iOS?

  • Help!  No Audio with Quicktime Video, Streaming=OK

    Quicktime will not play audio alone or audio within a downloaded video clip (video is crystal clear, without hiccups), but streaming video plays audio without any problems. the intra-browser QT interface often freezes when pause is attempted and requires forced closure of the browser (either IE or Firefox) to regain control.
    I'm running quicktime 7.1 on a home-built Athlon 3200+ with the ATI multimedia center software installed for an ATI all in wonder. I also have a Creative Audigy (1) card with all effects disabled. Quicktime is already set to play audio in "safe mode" (wave out only). Quicktime has been uninstalled/reinstalled several times with no success.
    Any Suggestions?

    When Compressing for DVD, you need to make to separate files, which you will then combine in DVDSP.
    .m2v for video
    .ac3 for audio

  • Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of audio with quicktime PRO ?????

    I wish to convert Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of adio to Quicktime mov, retaining the four tracks of audio, will quicktime pro do this

    It depends on what the audio and video codecs used in the video. AVI is just a container format and make use any number of codecs, some of which QuickTime for Windows can support but many it cannot. If you can post information on the codecs, someone here can probably give more direct advice.
    Regards.

  • Convert video to audio only

    I'm looking to play video podcasts (classroom lectures) on my Nano6g - even as audio only.
    My university classes (U. Florida) come as a podcast which Itunes puts in the Movies folder rather than the Podcast or ItunesU folder, perhaps because of the file format. I've tried to copy the files into other folders but that doesn't work.
    Is there a way in Itunes 10 to convert these to audio only tracks?
    It really ***** that my 5g had this functionality but now I have to carry my Classic and my Nano 6G to do what the 5G could.

    Not in iTunes, ditto for QuickTime.
    but I bet a google search would point you to some applications that can do it.
    And you might check, some podcasts have both versions: video and audio.

  • Optimizing / compressing video for web with Quicktime

    I have a ~70mb (3 minutes long) m4v video that I need to get to a much more reasonable file size for playing on a site that will primarily be accessed via iPad.
    I don't know if it matters, but the video will need to play automatically upon page load.
    I've read through a few tutorials for doing this with Quicktime, however I think I'm missing something..
    From the Export pop-up menu, there should seemingly be an option to choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie." I have only 480p and iPod/iPhone/iPad options(which I believe would result in a viewing frame that is too small).
    How can I proceed with web-optimizing this file in Quicktime? (Or is there a better solution? I tried Sorenson Squeeze, but that had a large watermark..)

    I have a ~70mb (3 minutes long) m4v video that I need to get to a much more reasonable file size for playing on a site that will primarily be accessed via iPad.
    File size is directly proportional to the combined total data rate of your file. If you want a smaller file, then you need to reduce the audio + video data rate of the file. Unfortunately, overly reducing the data rate can adversely affect the audio/video quality of the file. Depending on the encode settings (data rate, encode matrix dimensions, display dimensions, entropy option, intra/inter frame options, number of encode passes, etc.), user tolerance for minimum quality level, the specific target ISP speeds required, application to be used, etc., the possibilities are relatively endless. Basically, the file you describe above has a combined total data rate on the order of 3.1 Mbps. Such a data rate might be considered low for a full 1080p file, adequate for a 720p file, or excessive for a VGA file depending on the graphic complexity of the file. In short, it is difficult to properly answer your question without additional information or actually seeing the file in question. (I.e., proper encoding of content is as much an art as a science.)
    I don't know if it matters, but the video will need to play automatically upon page load.
    It may matter depending on how the web site is coded and/or how the content is to be accessed by the target iPad device.
    From the Export pop-up menu, there should seemingly be an option to choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie." I have only 480p and iPod/iPhone/iPad options(which I believe would result in a viewing frame that is too small).
    The option and tutorial you reference require the use of QT 7 Pro which the option you reference sounds nore like a QT X player export option. (Once, again, what you can do will depend on the software you are trying to use to create your file and a 480p file could normally be anything from an 853x480 (16:9 aspect) file to a 640x480 (4:3 aspect) file or an anamorphic 720x480 file displaying in either the 16:9 or 4:3 aspect. So I really don't know what you consider a "small" viewing frame.
    How can I proceed with web-optimizing this file in Quicktime? (Or is there a better solution? I tried Sorenson Squeeze, but that had a large watermark..)
    As previously mentioned, there are many applications that can be used here—QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, QT X, HandBrake, etc. to name just a few. I personally would recommend the free HandBrake app since it offers both manual and automatic preset options, as well as, allowing you to create anamorphic or non-anamorphic encodes targeting either a fixed level of quality or a target file size depening on your needs. Unfortunately, the more options you have, the more decisions you need to make which means the more you need to critically analyze your target needs/requirements—which is frequently something many video users are trying to avoid.
    Basically, if you want more specific advice, you will first have to better define your specific needs here.

  • Crash 0::42 when Exporting Audio with Quicktime:

    Hello Folks,
    We're having an issue with exporting .mov files from After Effects.  When a user tries rendering a project through Make Movie > Ouput Module > Quicktime Movie, AE crashes with the error code 0::42 if the user simply clicks the 'Format Options' button for Audio output.  In addition, if the user selects File > Export > Quicktime Movie, the movie will get about half way done and crash with the same error.
    This error occurs on all of our workstations.  We are using CS4 and HP workstations of various makes and models, the only direct similarity is they all use Realtek built in audio.  I have done some troubleshooting using procmon.exe and the issue that seems to be coming up points to a conflict with our audio driver and Quicktime (see the following regesty entries below)
    The following kept coming up with a BUFFER OVERFLOW and NAME NOT FOUND results:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0262&SUBSYS_103C 130A&REV_1002\4&705ED8E&0&0001\DirectSound\Device Presence
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
    Also, both registry entries point to the file
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\AsioWdm.dll
    Does AsioWdm.dll have some conflict with our HD Realtek audio and quicktime?
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sound card drivers / codecs.  This actually allowed me to export Quicktime movies without crashing via File > Export.  However, we're still experiencing the crash when clicking on 'Format Options' from Make Movie > Output Module > Format Options.
    Does anyone have any idea what's causing / how to resolve our issue?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hello again,
    Thank you for your responses, here is an update on our status:
    I am testing a simple scene with a .wav file.  AE only crashes when we're using the Quicktime module and if we click on Format Options in the audio settings.  All other modules seem to work just fine.  Interestingly, if we choose File > Export > Quicktime Movie, we can access the audio compression options and AE does not crash.
    In regards to ASIO, as far as I know, we are not interfacing with anything else.  The workstations we're using have built-in speakers, but I don't see how that could be an issue and nothing else is plugged in.
    As for the codecs, we have the k-lite package installed as well as DivX, Xvid and whatever comes with the Realtek drivers.  I tried uninstalling k-lite and xvid, but neither seemed to help.
    Other things I have tried:
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled AE
    - Updated Quicktime to the newest version
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime to version 7.65
    - Disabled openGL support
    NOTE: we recently tried this on one of our workstations (z600) with windows 7 64 bit and we got the same issue.
    No matter what we do, AE still crashes when we have the Quicktime format selected and click the Format Options Button for the audio settings.
    Any other ideas?

  • Can't record video or audio with my MBP's isghit

    Everytime I try to record a video or a sound using quicktime and the isght in my MBP an error message saying the "recording could not create a file" disk may be full or not writeable". my disk is not full for sure... any ideas? Thanks

    I've been having the same problem -- when I tried to record audio using Quicktime Pro I got the very same message.
    What I discovered is that you have to go into the Quicktime recording preferences and set the destination where you want it to record to.
    I had it previously set to an external HD that was no longer connected, which is why I was getting that message. I changed the recording destination to my desktop and it worked fine.
    Hope this helps!

  • Video and Audio with 1 second delay

    I am editing on a MAC with Premiere Pro Cs6, 6.01(014 (MC:264587)) a 45 minute file from an Ipad 3, 720. The origina file is synchronized perfectly, you can play withe Quicktime viewer and the lips move with the audio. After using that single file on one sequence, and applying ONLY accelerated efects, like Zoom (motion) and RGB curves, plus audio volume up, if I play it back, the lips are ahead the audio by between 1 and 2 seconds. If I export it to H264, the same issue remains and you can see it on Youtube. This renders Premiere CS6 completely useless for any practical purpose.
    Is there any way to fix this?? I am calling for support tomorrow, but wanted your opinions first.

    Your theory is proven false.
    On the contrary, the variable framerate is the cause of sync issues and you just confirmed it.
    Similarly, would you say that FCP is completely useless for all practical purposes, because it can't create Blu Ray disks?

  • How to edit video to audio with a sub-frame precision?

    As all of my other posts I must begin by stating that this is not an RTFM issue. I have read the manuals and searched the web and this forum already.
    Also I beg you to read this question first before answering some nonsense. Ok, off the soapbox now.
    I am having issue synching video to audio.
    I am editing a music video at the moment at 23.976 fps. There is a master sound track (48/16) to which all of the video must be synched.
    I have not found a way of changing the position of a video clips in the timeline relative of the master audio track with a higher than a frame precision in order to obtain a perfect lip-sync.
    I am aware of the fact that one should enable "display audio units" in the timeline in order to shift an audio track relative the video with the sub frame precision, which is very useful when doing dialogue replacement to a video. For the video I am still not able to do so. Is it at all possible? Is there a workaround?
    How do they achieve a perfect lipsync when they make professional music videos?
    Thank you!

    Actually, you can set markers on the audio clip between frames.  I rember this from Jacob Robenbergs book Premiere Pro 2.0 Studio Techniques.
    You double click on the audio clip.  It opens in the Source monitor.  Then click on the fly-out menu and select SHOW AUDIO UNITS.
    Now in the source monitor you can place a marker (to be used for syncing) anyhere within the frame.  Set a numbered marker.
    Now you have a sync marker intraframe on the Audio.  You then sync this audio marker the Frame you need. Select both clips and choose syncronize.
    So it is not sub video frame, it is sub Audio frame to the correct video frame start.
    See below.  The audio sync marker is in the middle of the frame.  Hope this helps.

  • Noise reduction (process) on HD video's audio with shotgun microphone (hissing)

    okay so i normally master live sets on the condenser microphone in my teams studio but it is not available to the public so i've started doing freestyles, when i use the noise reduction (process) on the audio of my HD videos to remove background noise which my camera is intaking for some reason unknown (on both shotgun and camera) this is without any corrections on, everything on manual etc so nothing to cause the distorted hissing sound.
    I stand with the speakers behind my as my shotgun doesn't pick up much from behind so the beat is very quiet, i then have the mc's in front of me performing and i later on add on a 320kps version of the beat in audition and add that audio onto the video.
    I started with the FFT size: 4096
    And then switched over to try again on FFT size 512 which both fully removed the beat and hissing from the whole audio (what i was aiming for) but both still messed with my video's audio by making their voices sound weird and echoy.
    The hissing problem i'm encountering is common although it randomly started a week or so ago, my camera is the Canon 600D
    i've looked up on how to resolve the issue but none of the fixes have worked for me
    Putting everything on manual didn't work
    Turning auto corrections off didn't work
    Turning the volume down a lot did work but did not pick up sound levels or quality anywhere near the level i need
    I phoned up canon customer services and they told me to send me camera off to the other side of the UK since i have warranty but i need this camera daily and can't afford to go however long they plan to take to return my camera in working order.
    If anyone has any advice for me it would be much appreciated, thank you.

    When you get to Process > Noise Reduction > Reduce Noise, usually a preset isn't the answer, but some manual fiddling. 
    Here's the way I approach this:
    1. When I set the noise print, I play/loop the clip and note the level of the noise in your meters. When I get to the threshold in the noise reduction window, that level will be the extreme highest threshold I use, only going lower from there.
    2. When it comes to the reduction, I check the Noise only box while I'm setting it, and boost the reduction until I'm getting noise, but not too much signal I want to preserve. If I hear voice in there, I'm doing too much. And I rarely end up going beyond 60%.
    3. Uncheck the noise only box, and listen to the signal with noise reduced to fine tune further.
    Remember this is noise reduction, not noise elimination. And, the STP tool is pretty good for what it is, but it's not anywhere near the best out there.
    Good luck, and I hope this helps!
