ITunes converts video, drops sound.

Everytime I spend 4+ hours converting a 20 minute video, iTunes cuts out the sound on the video.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Itunes/QT converts video from sound to no-sound

    I have a video that has sound. when i convert it for ipod or when I convert in QT to ipod, it ends up converted with no sound. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    iTunes and Quicktime don't much like muxed MPEG files, they lose the sound when you convert them.
    Here's a post I made with some ways around this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1171379&#1171379

  • Converted videos without sound

    i have added and converted 5 videos to ipod format, and added to my ipod.

    The discussion of converting/ripping DVDs to iPod format is forbidden on these boards - [Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]. I would suggest searching the internet or going to the [iPod Lounge|http://www.ipodlounge.com] to find what you're looking for, because I'm sure you're talking about converting your home movie DVDs to iPod format and not breaking the Copywrite protection of Commercial DVDs and U.S. Federal Law in the process.
    P.S. Breaking Copywrite Protection is also against the law in most other countries as well.

  • Does iTunes convert video

    I added many videos to my library converted in the AppleTv friendly format. When trying to add a video to the iphone, an error says video not playable on iPhone (format issue). Does iTunes itself have the ability to re convert video to iPhone playable format? Or does conversion need to be done with 3rd party software? Im surprised iPhone can not play AppleTv video.

    Thanks! You say handbrake does the apple universal? I converted video to the applyTv format because it looks good playing on a big screen using the appleTv device. I don't really want to have multiple copies of the same video and also, how to keep iphone separate from appletv video. Would be nice for itunes to add features to do this. Especially since apple devices, ipad/iphone/appletv/etc all use itunes but have their own specific video requirements. Itunes should know if you registered several types of apple devices to your itunes apple account, and when importing video, auto convert to all required device formats. Then when you plug in one device, only supported video for that device is displayed. Also a popup note that "video in other formats exists in the itunes library, but has not been converted. Do you want to convert? yes/no". Itunes then could convert in the background. And auto organize different video formatted items into their own folder in the library.

  • ITunes converting videos at only around 300% CPU?

    Hello all,
    I'm converting a ton of videos in iTunes so that I can watch them on my iPod and it's taking forever (1 video every 45 mins or so). I have an iMac quad-core i7 @ 2.8 GHz and it's only using 300% (out of a possible 800) to do the conversion. Does anybody happen to know why there is this limitation in iTunes? Is there a way to have it use 800% (or max possible) instead?
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Converting videos: No sound

    When I play a video on my computer it works just fine, and there's sound and everything. But when I convert it using itunes so that I can put it on my ipod, the product of the conversion doesn't play any sound, neither on my ipod or on my computer. Any suggestions as to why this is happening would be great, thanks.

  • Converted Video loses sound

    OK so I just got an iPhone and with the exception of a few niggling errors I'm quite happy with it.
    I've got a few videos I'd like to put on there, 3 in particular that are already in quicktime and 320x240. It won't let me put those directly onto the iPhone so I use the "convert for iPod" function which takes a minute but when is finished, has no sound... Even when I play it in iTunes. This would seem to be a codec problem but I'm no expert here.
    Can someone help me out with this problem?

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information is available in this article.

  • ITunes Music Video. Sound but no video

    Today I updated to OS X 10.7 Lion and have also installed iTunes 10.4.
    Now I have a problem playing music videos, they play but I get sound only and no video.
    How do I get the video stream to run as well?
    Thanks

    Posting this question bought up the solution from another thread, "deselect the airplay speakers". I did this now it works fine.
    I would have expected iTunes to give a warning. Ah well...

  • No Audio on iTunes-converted video

    I've got a handful of videos in iTunes that I stored on my iPod. However, when I tried to transfer to the iPod, I got a message saying that they were not formatted correctly. I used iTunes for that conversion and all of the audio disappeared.
    When I've used 3rd party software to import video before putting into iTunes, the results are fine. Am I going to have to do that with ALL of my files? Or am I flubbing a step (or setting) in iTunes?

    iTunes cannot convert Muxed files unless you download a $20 addon for Quicktime. I would use the software you are using now to convert the videos.
    However, if iTunes is saying they are not in the right format, then make sure they actually converted (or that iTunes is not saying that for the older, unconverted version).

  • ITunes converted videos won't sync to device they were converted for

    I have two videos I'm trying to put on an iPhone and an iPad. I loaded the Quicktime movies into iTunes and tried a sync (why not right?) and I get the error "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[title of my video]", were not copied to the iPhone "[name of my iphone]" because they cannot be played on this phone." Fair enough. So I used the Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone Version option, yet when I tried to sync the files it created, they still would not sync, same error. I used the iPad/AppleTV option and was able to sync those videos to my iPad, though they would not sync to the iPhone. I tried using a 3rd party conversion software to make mp4 files but they wouldn't sync either (and happened to be about 4x larger in file size to boot).
    So why won't iTunes sync the videos it CREATED specifically for iPhone and iPod to my iPhone? I'm on iTunes 10.0. Is there a format/settings I can use on my conversion tool to get a syncable file?
    FYI - the original files are 800x600 (video screen captured Keynote presentation) in Quicktime, H264, Millions of colors, AAC, 2 Channel 44100 Hz, 24 fps, data rate 222kbit/s.

    Well, after several tries, even though I got the error message, the files did actually transfer to my iPhone. Still seems weird, but at least it worked.

  • Converting video with iTuns - but the sound disappered...

    i converted vidoes from my last trip and then the sound was gone... the videos work on the iPod and on the iTunes but with no sound...
    any ideas?

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.
