Lost sound when convert Quicktime video to ipod video

Hi,
when I use iTune to conveert a video file from quicktime (or others) to ipod/iphone video file I lost the sound!
I'll appreciate any help!
Thanks!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

  • Audio dropouts when converting dvd's to ipod video

    Love my new 60 Gb iPod in black!
    I have been able to successfully transfer several of my DVD's to my iPod using handbrake. Such movies as, "The Big Lebowski" and several episodes of "Bugs Bunny", music videos from a "Best of Blur" DVD, all transfer seamlessly (in the destination box of handbrake, I select MP4 file, then when the transfer is complete, I ammend the end of the file to m4v before dragging it over the itunes icon in the dock.).
    In any event, for some reason, several other DVD's I've tried to convert using the same method (R.E.M. Roadmovie, Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium), reveal dropouts in the audio (video keeps playing without a glitch). Dropouts last for no more than a second and seem to occur between every 30 to 50 seconds. These same DVD's play flawlessly in the computer and home dvd players with no signs of dropouts. Any ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated concerning how I can get rid of these dastardly dropouts.
    Thanks,
    Pete

    Hi Rick,
    I am extracting the material from the dvd directly using handbrake. The file that handbrake creates lands on the desktop. I then ammend the end of the filename from mp4 to m4v. Following this I click and drag the file onto the itunes icon in the dock. I can then download it to the ipod no problem. The dropouts occur no matter where I play the file. In other words, on the desktop (with QT), in the itunes library and on the pod.
    I went back and looked at all the dvd's that are giving me this trouble. The culprit seems to be that the audio signal is in LPCM (linear pulse code modulation). Just for the **** of it, I tried to rip one track using handbrake changing the sampling rate of the audio to 48,000 Hz which I believe is what LPCM uses (previously I had set it at 41,000 Hz in handbrake). But no go, still has dropouts. One of these problem dvd's has a second audio option in AC3 (2ch). As a test, I ripped one song using that. Dropouts are gone. However, the audio is a director's commentary (on the music video he shot) with the music in the background, so it's not what I want.
    Is there any way to convert LPCM to AC3? Or any other way to fix this dropout problem.
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • HT4623 I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine

    I have just finished the upgradation to an iOS 6.1.3 and have lost sound in Music and Videos. I am using an iPhone 4S. My iPhone doesn't produce sound when playing Youtube or local camera videos. However ringtones and notifications sound works fine.It is quite strange as well. Have you encountered this issue before?If yes then what's the solution?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • Lost sound when upgraded to Windows

    I lost sound when I upgraded my Gateway Solo250 from Windows 98 to Windows XP Home. On Device manager, the systems reports that my sound controls are working but the Multimedia Audio Controller is not installed (Problem 28). I have downloaded drivers from Gateway and from Creative Labs Sound Blaster Li've but can not install them. I get the error message that no sound card is being detected. What happened? How do I fix this without messing up anything else, since the computer is operating smoothly, except without sound. Thanks for your help!

    I have the exact same problem. I got numbers off of the creative chip on the motherboard, if that helps to get a solution. Gateway lists that XP is not supported on solo250. Creative is the only source that can solve this, since all of these companies laid off all of the developers. Did you find any help at all? I would hate to go back to win98...

  • When I convert a .mov to iPod video format, the sound disappears

    For some reason, I have a .mov file that loses its sound when I convert it to m4v. This doesn't happen on all .mov files, only a few. Any suggestions on things to check for/solutions?

    What software are you using to convert the videos to iPod format?
    If you are using Quicktime Pro, or iTunes 6.0.2 to do the conversion... then that is probably where your problem lies.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file. You'll end up with video and no sound.
    You'll need to use some other software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    I think iSquint has become quite popular.

  • No sound when convert video for iPod Touch

    I have videos that I recorded with my digital camera and when I "convert for iPod" the resulting video has no sound in iTunes or when I put it on my iPod.
    Any ideas to what is wrong?

    The file you are converting is muxed(audio and video are one track).
    Quicktime is used by iTunes to do the conversions and quicktime does not like muxed files-so you get only video. Another possibility is that the audio is a weird codec that quicktime does not recognize.
    Use a different transcoder-such as mpeg streamclip recommended above. I use it, it works very well. It has iPod presets.

  • No sound when converting movies to ipod in itunes

    Ever since i received my ipod i was having problems converting my movies to ipod format. It takes a few hours to convert and then when its done i get no sound (movies are currently on my computer just not ipod ready.) I've made sure i have the latest version of itunes. Other than that i couldnt find any trouble shooting tips. I also tried converting using Quicktime pro. That was just a complete waste of time. It says it converts in about 4 seconds, when i go to open the file its just a snapshot of my computer screen instead my movie. (i go into export, pick the file, then select movie to ipod. also tried movie to mp4) Any ideas on what to do?!?!

    QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.

  • No sound when converting videos

    I just got the new iPod and got Quicktime 7 PRO so that I could export videos to iPod format. I go to file export - Movie to iPod (320x240) and then click save and the video is encoded to iPod format but when I import it to my iTunes and iPod, there is no sound. What am I doing wrong or what can I do so that there is sound? Please help

  • Convert DV File to iPod Video with Chapters

    Hi All,
    My question is simple. I have a project in FCP Suite that I want to export to an iPod with chapters. I subscribe to Podcasts that have chapters in them such as Photoshop TV.
    I have exported to a DV stream from the timeline, and viewed the DV file in QuickTime player to verify that the chapters are in fact still there which they are. When converting from DV, what do I need to do to convert to a format suitable for an iPod Video with the chapters still intact so I can easily skip around on my iPod like a DVD player can. Nothing I do seems to carry the chapter markers over in the conversion process.

    Michael (and George)-
    We've been creating the same m4v files with similar software to George's (FC5 and Compressor2) and while we can place chapter markers in the m4v file, and that file will acurately use the markers when played in QuickTime on the computer, once the file is sent to Video iPod, the markers are not very accurate, missing the marked frame by up to 2 sec. Has it been your experience when using this feature in Compressor 3 that these markers are spot on? Would certainly appreciate your input on this,
    Greg M

  • Converting TV shows for iPod Video - Please help!

    I have been trying all week to get one single tv show on my iPod, but I have had no success. I have been using Quicktime Pro with the iPod video export settings which takes forever, but every time the video is finished, it plays in iTunes with no sound. I have called tech support several times and they offered advice like, "Try using Divx to convert it into a .mov," but it never works. The types of files I am trying to convert are mpeg1 & 2, and .avi (downloaded files from p2p) but like I said, no success. If anyone can offer some straightforward advice about other programs to use, or what I may be doing wrong, it would be extremely helpful. I am using a brand new iBook G4. I understand you can use Handbrake to convert DVD's, but most of my files are tv shows, and would like to have some Simpsons or Family Guy in my iPod. Currently, I am waiting for Quicktime to convert three more mpeg files into the iPod format, and if it doesn't work, I will stop trying completely and stick to only movies, I guess. Oh, by the way, I have tried using iMovie to import files and it also experiences the same issues as Quicktime after it is added - no sound! Thanks again guys, I really appreciate your responses.

    QuickTime Pro will not transcode any form of muxed MPEG file correctly on its own.
    Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($14.99) will convert MPEG1 but not sure about MPEG2 and M2/AC3 VOBs.
    MPEG2QT ($15) and MPEG2 Works 4 ($25) will convert MPEG1/2 and M2/AC3 VOBs. With regard to AVI files there are more than one type. If QT Pro won't handle them then you need to check DivX and/or 3ivX modules. However, as far as I know, DivX are still trying get their QT 7 component to work with DivX v5.x and the v6 has yet to be released.
    Tried PSPWare v2.1.4 in free, unregistered mode and it converted MPEG1 files without a problem. But all of my other, more common test file types failed to convert.
    Also tried MPEG StreamClip (free) which some users claimed worked fine. It kept cutting off the audio before reaching the end of the video in the target files (w/MPEG4 settings).

  • No sound when converting

    When I try to make a atv version of a video or movie, I get the video but I don't get any sound.
    I guess i'm doing it right. I select the video I want to convert, select the advance tap , click on "create apple tv version" and it goes through its process and creates another video , but has no sound when played on my atv or computer.
    Can any one help?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Yes you are doing this right, but I suspect your source video is not of the correct compression type to be compatible with quicktime (which itunes uses for conversion).
    Quicktime cannot convert muxed video and audio, although it can play it. Such compression types are mpeg1 and mpeg2. You can use a third party converter such as mpegstreamclip to make these conversions, but you will need the Quicktime mpeg2 playback component if your source video is mpeg2.

  • Loss of sound when converting from MPEG1 to DV

    Is it possible to import sound and video into FCP 5 from a MPEG 1 movie accidentally recorded on the memory stick in my digital camcorder. The video transfers well as .mov but I can't get any sound to transfer. It works perfectly as a file on the desktop played through the Quicktime Player but the file loses the sound when imported into FCP5. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    most likely you need to demux the file (untangle the audio and video). MPEG Streamclip is a good way to go to do this.
    Export as a Quicktime DV-NTSC or DV-PAL (depending on your part of the world) and all should be good.
