Imported mpegs have no audio

Hi all.
When I import mpegs into FCP I get decent video and no audio track. Any thoughts on how to correct this? I'm probably missing an easy fix, but can't figure it out.
Thanks,
SHC

You can't work with MPEG video in FCP.
Download [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com] and convert the files to one of the editing codecs found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.

Imported mpeg with asynchronous audio

Hello together,
i've got a little problem while creating a film for my brother.
I captured some old family videos with my video card and the software i used saved them as mpeg 2, with variable bitrate in video and constant bitrate in audio which is mp2. This video is playing properly in media player classic and vlc.
After importing one of these files i found out that audio and video are asynchronous playing in the preview video.
I looked into the elements help about this issue but there only was the hint to change the file format to avi. They do not tell which kind of avi i should use.
So, not knowing which file format to use i tried a lot with different containers, different video codecs and different audio codecs... I think it was about 20 or 25 different combinations from h263, h264, divx, xvid, flash, wmv7/8/9, mpeg2, DV, theora and so on. I used avi, mpg, mp4, mov, ogg and wmv as containers.
Half of these outputs were alreday asynchonous with the normal video playing software and the other half was asynchronous in PRE 9.
Has anyone got an idea what i could try? Is there a format combination that will work properly? Or can i change something in my source mpg to play properly?
Thanks in advance,
Norman Maehler

I did not know that it could capture to DV-AVI, but i cannot capture all files again, because its 20 hours of movie and it should be a present for my brother to his birthday which is already over... Besides i have to stay at the player because the video is quite old an broken at some times...
Next time i will try to use the DV-AVI.
But why can PRE import mpeg2 films while it cannot handle them properly? They are not asynchonous, because the can be played perfectly in sync with several media players?!
I converted one mpeg2 file to DV-AVI and imported it into PRE. There now the audio is quite good, but the video is too fast and makes some loops while playing in PRE. My media players are playing the file perfectly again...
By the way: I am using mencoder behind the Super-Gui to reencode my Video-Files if that may help?
Edit: @ nealeh It did not give me the choice for DV-AVI, because i was not recording from DV-Camcorder...
Edit2: Now with Avi container, DV-VIDEO as Video Codec and WAV-(pcm 16 little-endian) as audio codec the file is 5 times larger than before but it works

Imported mpeg layer 3 audio

I hope i have the right section, my first post.
I have downloaded an albumn and i cannot get itunes to up load it.
I have tried dragging and dropping the folder moved but still know music.
I also tried changing the encoder in the import in preferences still know luck.
Please help.
I got the albumn fron bit torrents would that make a difference??

I had this exact problem! See i got this CD from a friend of mine full of mp3's. One day they play fine and then the next totally weird.
Just discovered the problem a few hours ago... another hour of grueling work and failed attempts and voila!
BUT FIRST! check if your mp3's are openable (no.. not a word) by Quicktime.
(Right click --> open with --> Quicktime/select program --> Quicktime)
So what I did is that I installed "mp3tag": http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html
(if you see it in a weird language just click "english" in the top right corner)
Now open up mp3tag and add all of the mp3 files that did not work. Then you select them all (i have windows... ctrl + shift or however you select multiple songs in itunes on a mac).
Finally right click (still holding shift or whatever you use) on the column thats says tag and select remove tags.
For me the tags was changed to IDv3.24 or something like that. Open itunes and enjoy... hopefully?
Anyways hope this works for you
(tell me if it does!)
P.S: I noticed that the mp3's that i converted to AAC (before all of this misfortune happened) using itunes changed tags and still played fine. If you want to convert and possibly eliminate further chance of this happening again:
select mp3s --> Advanced --> create AAC version
BTW a new AAC version is made but the original MP3 file is still there too

When importing MPEG files into Premiere Pro CS3 the audio sequence is missing.

We have two computers running Premiere Pro CS3. Our computer most recently installed with PPCS3 will only import an audio sequence with the MPEG video file when I extract the file directly from the DVD. When I take the video folder from the DVD and drag to my Desktop, importing to PP from the desktop, it will only import the video sequence; audio does not appear. What would cause this happen and how can I fix this? It's too time consuming to continuously use my DVD Extractor.

1st, that old program has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous
2nd, To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

Audio does not encode when importing MPEGs

Hello,
I am working in Flash 8 for the Mac. I am trying to import an
MPEG file but it does not give the ability to encode the audio
track. The video file does have an audio track and I was able to
import this very same file last week with success.
As a result, audio is no longer encoded from any MPEG I
attempt to import. The video works fine. Just no sound. Is there
something I'm missing suddenly? Thank you.

Why do the MP4 files that I import to Premiere Pro CC have unsynced audio? (Resolved)

I have identified and resolved.the issue. There is a bug with how Premeire Pro handles importing videos with variable frame rate.
Community Memeber Walter.Johnson found a work-around at the bottum of this post, which also has the identification and submission of the bug itself:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1110005?start=40&tstart=0
I had to convert the video with "constant framerate" selected in handbrake. I'm believe the ffmpeg CLI equivilant switch is "-cfr" but I have not tested to be sure.
I can now import videos with synced audio!
I have recorded several hours of footage using a program called XSplit (a screen recording tool).
The files are recorded in a FLV format and I then convert them to MP4 as premiere pro cant read then in FLV.
In a MP4 format I can import the files into Premiere Pro CC and the video looks perfect, but the audio is unsynced. It is also unsynced in non-linear way so it is not something that I can simply unlink and adjust to compensate as it would have to be done manually every minute.
If I import these same MP4s into other video editing programs they import perfectly fine and have no audio sync issues what-so-ever. I only experience this issue in Premeire Pro CC. I can even tested these videos in 6 different media players and they play perfecly fine.
If I convert the files to AVI using ffmpeg or ffmpeg assisted tools it will not import into Premiere Pro CC and gives a "unsupported format or damaged file" error. Once again, this avi can be played and edited in several other programs no problem.
Here are the details about one of these files:
VIdeo Codec: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
Video: 1280x720
Audio Codec: mp4a: MPEG-4 ACC LC
Audio: 44100hz 63 kb/s tot , stereo (2/0)
Anyone have any ideas on why the audio is becomming de-synced in Premiere Pro CC only?

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

Importing MPEG-4 audio files into itunes

Hi,
I am a new user of iTunes. I am unable to import MPEG-4 audio files from an audio CD into my iTunes library. This audio CD was created by a friend on his MAC.
Interestingly, I am able to play the same MPEG-4 files through my Windows Media Player. I have the most recent and updated versions of Quicktime (7.4.5) and the most updated iTunes player for Windows (7.6.2.9). Coincidentally, the same audio CD has some MP3 files which I am able to import into iTunes with no problem.
Would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks

Incidentally, I am able to play these same MPEG-4 files through my QuickTime player just fine.
Thanks.

Audio lost when importing MPEGs into Final Cut Pro

When I import MPEG files into Final Cut Pro 4.5 the audio disappears. When I play the clips in Quicktime the audio and video are present, after I import only the video is present. I have tried adjusting the sequence presets for MPEG, but that has not helped. Any advice? Thanks!!

Dropping audio when importing mpeg

i have a 60 second MPEG movie i need to make 1 change to. it works in my FINDER it works when i open it in QUICKTIME, it even worked in ITUNES but when i import into FCP i lose the audio. Any thoughts?

Does anybody know if Apple is working on a plug-in for FC that will allow the import of MPEGs with muxed audio? I run a local television station and we use professional video recorders such as TriCaster and Turbo and they both export in MPEG. To date, every show we shoot that needs to be edited in FC must be converted using MPEG Streamclip and it's a seemingly unnecessary step that's beginning to drive my post supers insane. I'm also assuming there is quality loss as well. Any tips?

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

haben
From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30) or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
a constant frame rate?
Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

No audio when importing MPEG-2 files

I am importing MPEG-2 files from a Sony SR40 HDD camera. The video imports fine, but there is no audio track. I am connecting with a USB cable. Any ideas?

the mpeg2 files mux (mix) the audio & video together in one stream.
To work with the files in FCP, you must demux them. The application MPEG Streamclip can do this for you. Google it, it's free.

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^ and why wont the music files play anymore??

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled.
Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.
