Front Row - Lid Closed - Blank Videos (but with audio)

I hooked my computer up to my TV last night to watch some videos through front row (stupid quicktime and the pro lockout on full screen - talk about penny pinching from Apple!). Front row worked fine if I set it up so that the TV mirrored my laptop display. However, if I tried to run the laptop in lid closed mode with the TV as my main/only monitor everything would work except for the videos. They would be black while retaining the audio. For example, the little preview movies shown in the selection menu were black as was the movie when you played it.
Is this a known bug? Is there a fix? (Obviously I can run it more or less similarly with mirroring and my main screen dimmed as I did.)

i'm having the same issue. The video i tried was purchased from the iTunes music store. i see no preview of the video and no video is played on screen however audio is present. the same problem also occurs when trying to watch a movie trailer via movie trailer front row interface. All Front Row graphics are seen, only video is a problem. I can open and play back the video without problems in Quicktime Pro. (fullscreen)
The video output is 1280x720 sent to a samsung tv using a built in profile with overscan disabled.

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files. It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them. I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
Thanks again for any help!!!!

It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

And what is the point of all this? CS3 is now 7 years old and Office 2003 just the same. Yes, sometimes software has bugs and compatibility issues. Beyond there is nothing here to discuss on either end, given the circumstances...

After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
• restart Apple TV
• restart Macbook Pro
• quite iTunes/open
• turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
• unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
None of these have alleviated the problem.
The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

HT201177 I have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDIC. I have good video, but no audio. Can anyone help?

I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!

Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

Apple TV video but no audio

I get video but no audio.

My research is leading me to this so far;

This discussion refers to the HDMI issues rather than the Apple TV product? Anyone else with any ideas?

Quicktime plays video but no audio

Trying to play Quicktime videos from Prentice Hall website associated with textbook. Browser has up-to-date Quicktime plug-in and when tested there is video and audio. But when video is played from selected website, there is video but no audio. Tested using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox but results are the same.

Jacumba,
Here is the link that the professor provided -
http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_martin_audiology_11/194/49692/12721280.cw/index.htm l
The instructor tried on the computer in the classroom that she uses and I also tried it on the computer in my office. ON that website are different QuickTIme videos embedded in the different chapters. Clicking on the QuickTime link (box), the QuickTime logo appears, then the image appears but when Play is pressed, the video plays but there's no evidence of audio. The volume control on the QuickTime movie is at maximum and I have the volume on my computer at maximum, but there's no sound whatsoever. LIke I said, I have the latest QuickTime plug-in and when I test the plug-in, I get video and audio.
I'm trying to find out an answer for the professor because she uses the website in her course.
Any suggestions would be most welsom.

Good Video But Terible Audio

I have just got a Phillips SPC900NC USB web cam, I have got the iChatUSBCam 2.1 & Macam.0.9.0 software to make it work with iChat.
I get great video but the audio is very choppy and the spoken words are indistinguishable.
Can anyone help me to get it right?
Ive also tried Skype but cant get the video to work, I did get it to work once but again the audio was indistinguishable or not even there when the video was.
If people can help me on the iChat first as that is what i will be using to talk to my parents.
Thanks
Adrian

HI Adrian,
The original specs did say
iSight, Any Firewire DV Ouput Camcorder and Firewire web Cams
Eccam gave the option of External USB cams
Most of these are Web cams but the utility works for some camcorders that don't export in DV as well as those that use USB.

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

Rodney
I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

FLVPlayback - Video but no Audio

I'm building a flash projector who's main purpose is to play video.
Everything was working great, but occaisionally the video player showed video but no audio. It did this inconsistently - sometimes it would work, sometimes it didn't, and the volume always reported back as "1"
Here is some of the excerpted as3 I've written:
flv_player.height = 720;
flv_player.width = 1280;
flv_player.x = 0;
flv_player.y = 0;
flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
flv_player.source = my_source; // (variable string containing path to f4v file)
addChild(flv_player);
// ======= //
flv_player.play();
flv_player.seek(desired_s); // number
for now, I've fixed the problem by throwing in a half second wait using setInterval, after adding the child and starting the player (where // ===== // appears above
What bothers me about this fix is:
A) there's a half second of sitting on black and
B) I don't know why it's not working or why a wait fixes it.
I tried waiting to play until the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event fired from the the FLVPlayback object, but no dice.
Any ideas out there?

I did come up with a solution, and it seems to work, though it's not as elegant as I'd like. I now add the FLVPlayback component (set to auto start playing), and set an interval to check if it's started playing every 33 ms (or roughly every frame). Once it/s 200ms in, I presume the video and audio are muxed and I can seek. Here's some excerpted code from my MovieClip class:
//adding flvplayback
                              flv_player.height = 720;
                              flv_player.width = 1280;
                              flv_player.x = 0;
                              flv_player.y = 0;
                              flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
                              flv_player.source = my_source;
                              flv_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, on_complete);
                              addChild(flv_player);
                              // right now, it's going to check to see if the video is playing.
                              my_interval = setInterval(start_playing,33);
private function start_playing():void
                              // if the video is 200ms in, we'll presume the audio is muxed and will start the show!
                              if (flv_player.playheadTime > 0.2) {
                                        clearInterval(my_interval);
                                        my_interval = new uint();
                                        flv_player.seek(my_in_point);

Impoting video but no audio when played back.

Never had trouble with IMovie before until now.
Trying to transfer home videos from a regular dvd.
When I play the clips, I get the video but no audio. If I open up another window (could be anything outside IMovie) I get the audio.
If I switch back to the IMovie window, no audio. I have my dvd player connected to a converter because I have an 8mm camcorder. Also, whenever I switch from edit mode to camera mode, IMovie crashes (sometimes). My converter is a Canopus ADV 110.

Try downloading the free program MPEG Streamclip. (Just Google it.) Drag your clip into the window of Streamclip, pull down the Streamclip File menu, and click on Convert to aiff, or something like that.
Likely your problem is that your clip contains an audio format or mixed material that is incompatible with iMovie. That's why it plays elsewhere but not in iMovie. Streamclip should be able to convert it to an aiff file, which works well with iMovie.

QT + MPEG-2 plays video but no audio

I'm trying to play mpeg-2 videos that were created by my video camera. I've got QT 10.0 running on OS X 10.6.4. I found QT didn't recognize .mpg, so I purchased the mpeg-2 playback component. With it installed, I can now view my .mpg videos but they have no sound. What am I doing wrong?
I'm a apple rookie, be gentle

Just to document what I've found so far. I tried installing QT 7, the MPEG-2 addition from apple again. It would still play video but no audio. Unfortunately, the test mpeg-2 from apple support DID work, which indicated I must have something wrong with my file. However, this is one of 250+ files I have recorded from my digital camcorder and they play on any number of Windows players without issue.
I then tried Perian codecs since I found references it would address a similar problem. I tried VCD and MPEG Tools from BurningThumb. I tried mpeg screenclip. I also tried changing my Audio Midi setup to 2ch-16 bit from 2ch-24 bit. All to no avail.
In the process I found that my .mpg files and .avi files had the same problem. Both played video fine but neither had audio. I then installed VLC and presto! All worked as they were supposed to!
I still don't know why QT won't play it--it seems like it should.

How can I cut some video but keep audio running?

Hello
I once knew how to do this but forgot, and can't find it in any discussions or help files.
I have some shaky, crummy video but the audio in it is good.
I am editing the video, but I want to keep a running audio track from the original DV import.
"Paste over at playhead" is not the answer (unless I got it wrong).
I doubt this is the best way to do it but I am presently copying a clip; extracting the audio; placing that audio back into the timeline under the video; hacking up the video...and hoping the length is close to perfect. (Surely not the way to do it).
Tips? Thanks

David
You know, somehow your explanation made more sense than the iMovie Help file explanation. (Though it has some additional info that touches on what remains a bit of a problem for me).
In any case, thanks. I am using this technique right now. The difficulty that remains for me is how to deal with a short segment of video (to paste) over a 2 or 3 times longer segment of audio. The help info and my own experimentation show that the remaining space gets filled with black. Not very pretty or smooth.
Which leads me to my response to the other person who replied to my post...
*Glo H*
Yes. I am copying the clip so I can have needed video to fill the space as the audio plays. But I'm pretty sure this is not the smart, most efficient way.
(See David's reply).
I am continuing experimentation but am very much open to any other suggestions.
Thanks again.
