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.

  • Video but No audio when playing  from ITunes. What could be wrong?

    I'm trying to play video from iTunes on my Apple TV. I get the video but no audio. I am able to view from Netflix fine. What could be the problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try adjusting the audio out and dolby digital settings.

  • Video but no audio when played on other machines

    iMovie to iDVd. Burns OK, plays on iMac as it should, but then when checked on other stand alone machines - video fine, but no audio at all.
    No problems up until recently. Checked settings - seem to be the same.
    Using PAL settings. Burning to DVD - R.
    Any suggestions about where to start checking appreciated.

    Hi Kaik and welcome
    Is this an iDVD6 project that you currently have on
    your computer now? If so, please try burning a disc
    image to the desktop from the file menu within
    iDVD6.
    Click Here
    Then test the image with Apple's DVD Player
    application. If it plays exactly as expected within
    this DVD Player application then the issue is with
    the media, your burn speed, and/or the set top DVD
    Player and not iDVD6.
    You can lower the burn speed in Roxio Toast like
    this:
    or if you prefer use Apple's Disc Utilities and lower
    the burn speed there like this:
    Hope this process of elimination makes some sense but
    if not please feel free to ask further questions.
    Good luck!
    Thanks SDMacuser for your prompt response to my question.
    Working through your suggestions and trying to isolate where the problem may lie. Mention of a Disk image was something I had never tried, and very useful for future reference, once this problem is solved.
    Haven't got the latest version of "Toast" so will purchase that. Tried a separate Sony standalone DVD player. Video and sound there, but not on the Sony DVD hard drive recorder nor on familes back in NZ. Very strange. Will keep on working through your other suggestions.
    Liviing on a small rock in the Pacific and being abe to source help such as yours via internet is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time and expertise. Will be back in touch. Cheers,Keith

  • Photoshop Video has no audio when playing WMV files, please help.

    Hello.  My Photoshop video editor works great with MOV files after installing Apple Quicktime the other day.
    Today I tried to load a WMV file into Photoshop's video editor.  I get the video, but no audio.  (The subject file plays perfectly in Windows Media Player.)  The master audio mute at the left end of the timeline window says the audio is not muted (and I test toggled while running the video).  And the video properties dialog that is accessible on the video clip icon itself shows the audio is not muted, and that the volume is set at 100%.   I see no other place where the audio could be killed.
    QUESTIONS:
    1) Is this another file type compatability issue, and if so, how can this be fixed? 
    2) Would Apple Quicktime PRO be appropriate to convert the WMV file into a MOV file, so that I could then work with all of my WMV files?
    Thank you for your assistance, Chuck

    Load the movie into QuickTime Player, open the Movie Inspector (Window menu), and look at the Format section. That will show the codecs used for the video and audio, the audio being the second one listed. Post that information here and someone can probably tell you what you'll need.
    Regards.

  • Flash player starts playing video but stops, audio still plays

    When I watch videos on youtube the video and audio play fine for the first few seconds. Then all of a sudden the video stops playing, but  the audio continues to play. I am using Firefox 3.0.10, Windows XP SP3, Intel Celeron Processor 434MHz, 256MB of Ram. This also happend with other browsers like Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. What can I do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

    First, disable Java. It's a security risk and has nothing to do with the problem.
    If you're using Safari, from the menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If there's no change, from the Safari menu bar, select
    Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
    Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
    iPhotoPhotocast

  • Video but no audio when exporting from iPhoto

    I have very small (30 sec) clips of video from a digital camera downloaded into iPhoto. When I export or share a clip to QuickTimePro 7, iMovie, my desktop, or e-mail the video goes, but no audio. I have tried so many different ways, I can't even remember what I've done. Can anyone help? I'm at my wits end, and it's a video of my baby laughing for the first time and I want to send it to everyone!!!

    With the video open in the QuickTime Player, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, click on the Resources tab, control-click on the entry which contains the file's location on your computer, and choose Show in Finder from the menu which appears. Once the file has been located, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the file; save the converted file on the desktop.

  • No audio when playing videos

    Upon downloading the latest update, I have for some reason, no audio
    when playing back a video...any of them. Video is there, but no sound.
    Thanks

    I had the exact same issue on my Home computer with XP Home sp2--No audio in itunes
    However, my work computer with XP Pro sp2 works fine with the updates.
    I ended up taking the advice of some others on here and reinstalled the old version of Quick Time (7.3.1) which worked...Although I'm unable to see movie trailers with the old version...But all other videos, including the one movie that I purchased, I'm able to hear...

  • Iphone 5 video, not smooth when played back in iPhoto?

    Why are my videos all 'stop start' when played back in iphoto? Is it something to do with the size of the file it seems to be happening on video shot on 1920 x 1080 which is when I got my iphone. Are hey going to be ok when i place them in imovie?

    Sorry, maybe I don't understand or I didn't explain my problem properly.
    (I'm doing this project as a hobby so can't really afford external resources)
    The demo involves filming industrial equipment, which is being monitored by a PC.
    As the equipment runs, graphs and results are produced on the PC.
    I managed to capture this, but when importing it into FCP AND playing it back, the picture is not clear. but when I forward frame by frame, each frame is nice and very sharp.
    Could it be frame rates or?
    I've seen many educational videos that show computer screen shots and I am prepared to pay for software that captures these shots, if that would help.
    I don't really know how a "scan" would work.
    Or maybe I'm dreaming that I can do this relatively easy.
    Thanks for your answer.

  • No sound when playing back videos, 10 out 14 taken all on the same day!!

    Ok strange 1, took videos this morning using my iPhone 4, when played back the sound was fine could hear everything, i took 10 more, i could hear no sound from these 10, i took 2 more when i got home they were fine, the phone was held in different ways all day so i wasnt covering anything, obviously some worked before and after so there isnt a problem with the microphone. tried restoring but I dont see the point if some have sound and some dont, have uplaoded to youtube and played back on the computer with the same problems, anyone any ideas?

    You could try either a Backup Restore or a Clean Restore. I usually do a CR with MobileMe as the restore source. Afterwards I reload the music, videos and apps.
    It could be a sound playing bug like the Bluetooth bug that bites me now and then (audio stops and goes once in a while, audio gaps in the video if the video is paused, and videos recorded have the audio very quiet).

  • ITunes 7.6 No Audio When Playing a Music Video or Movie

    I just installed iTunes 7.6.0.29 (It was released today).
    There is no audio when playing a music video or a movie that I've purchased. Movie trailers and music videos in the iTunes store have no audio either. Videos from iTunes University that I've downloaded (such as an MIT lecture) play fine w/ audio.
    Music audio (such as tracks I've purchased or tracks on the iTunes store) play fine.
    QuickTime videos, such as a QT video on my desktop play fine. Windows Media Player works fine too.
    So, why don't music videos and movies play (w/audio) on iTunes 7.6??

    I'm experiencing what appears to be the exact same issue. I just installed iTunes 7.6.
    Video but no audio:
    Purchased iTunes TV episodes
    Streamed video trailers in the iTunes Store
    Works fine:
    All music files, including protected files purchased through iTunes
    The standalone Quicktime player performs normally with MOV files. Windows Media Player still performs normally.
    I found an old support doc complaining of a similar issue with a previous iTunes release and tried the suggested fix: Uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it using the standalone installer (Quicktime 7.4). I also reinstalled iTunes. Neither solved the issue.
    I'm very disappointed that I can no longer access the files I've purchased. I hope this is fixed very soon.

  • Audio Clicking and broken up when playing back from timeline

    Can anyone please give me some advice about a possible solution to a continuing audio problem I am having when using the Tascam Fireone with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4. (Fireone working well with Logic 7 on the same machine)
    The Symptoms are as follow:
    When playing back edited clips or music from the timeline there are constant ugly pops and clicks.
    Any audio or video and audio even with differing sample rates when played in the source monitor are unaffected and play perfectly.
    I have tried everything I know and am now at a total loss as to what to try next.
    Tascam's so called support ignore any communication from me about it, as do most people on this forum.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Thank you

    I think it is a driver issue between Tascam and Apple Firewire connections
    It's all very frustrating as Tascam just do not respond to support questions well.
    Thanks for your comments, it's back to the drawing board with the Fireone and Final Cut Pro, a great shame because it's cheap and very good with Logic.

  • 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.

  • 720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows

    720P 30 H.264 videos stutter when played back on Windows
    I have an interesting problem that I am hoping someone can help me with.
    I have several short videos (2-4 minutes) in 1080i HDV that I have edited in FCP. When output to 720P 30 H.264 in Compressor at either 10 or 6 MB they look just drop dead gorgeous when played back on either of my dual processor Macs.
    However when played back on a Windows machine with QuickTime 7, they stutter to the point that playback locks up. This happens on 1.5 GHz to 3.2 GHz P4 class machines with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM and 64 to 128 MB video cards. On the 3.2 GHz P4, the processor utilization peaks at 100%. The interesting thing is that all of these same Windows machines have no problem playing back 720p 24 trailers at 6 MB.
    Thanks all.

    First a correction. I am using the latest version of FCP – 5.
    Regarding the encoding, I have tried going from native HDV MPEG-2 to H.264 at 720P from 10 to 4 MB at 24, 30 and 29.97. The Mac seems to play everything back very well, but most PCs (the latest IBM T 40 – 43 series laptops) a couple of Dell desk tops (2.6 GHZ with 64 and 128 MB graphic cards) and a 3.2 GHz Shuttle PC with a 128 MB graphic card (that we routinely use to decode four MPEG-4, 4CIF images simultaneously and display on a 42” ED Plasma) choke/stutter to varying degrees with processor utilization hitting 100%.
    So, the real issue here is what is the difference between a 720p trailer that I can download from Apple and what I can output using Compressor 2 at a similar data rate – other than the frame rate?
    And why does the Compressor output stutter on most PCs?

    Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
    The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

  • A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit.  When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays.  It appears in the edit, but no audio is played.  This happens consistently.  What setting might be wrong?

    That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
    This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
    a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
    From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
    Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
    Thanks.
