Movie Has No Audio

I'm new to the iPod scene, and am ripping a few movies from my DVDs to stick on my iPod. I've done 4 movies so far. 3 worked great, but 1 has no audio. It's the problem described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
Except that the file in question isn't muxed, from what I can tell. I opened it in QuickTime and clicked "Show Movie Info" like the article says, and QT says the movie is MPEG4. It doesn't say "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed."
I used DVD Decryptor to rip the DVD. After ripping, I can play the VOB file in Windows Media Player with no problems (after renaming it to .MPG). But after converting it with Videora, the audio is gone. I've tried both MP4 and H264. Same results.
What the heck?

Am I better off just springing for QuickTime Pro? Can Pro convert the VOB files to an iPod-readable format?

MPEG-2 movie has no audio.

Isn't it possible to create a self-contained MPEG-2 movie with audio and video? Each time I import a self-contained Quicktime movie created in FCP into Compressor and encode a MPEG-2 movie using the MPEG 6.2Mbps 2-pass setting, I never get any audio.
The long version of this story is I have to get a 4.5G Quicktime movie file onto a DVD and it won't fit. It's in 960x720 HD. If I could just do a little compression to trim off a G or so all would be fine. Each time I try a "Quicktime conversion" compression option it makes the movie 4:3.
Thanks!

Yes,

(Ignore Elementary stream)
Hit page 183 of Compressor's manual for more info.

If a simple restart after repairing permissions does not return the sound try the solutions mentioned in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832

Exported movie has choppy audio

the whole animation plays smoothly when previewed on FCP X. But when I export it, the sound becomes choppy. I got the sound effects from FCP X sound effects.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150667439902717&set=vb.50603525802&type=2 &theater

Apple did not want to become the next Napster to go down "lawsuit lane"....... then Apple came out with the AAC, telling us it was for better quality than of mp3, but also behind the scene, they were also imbedding songs on their site, with "copyright" features that prevented user from other computers to share and or play songs not purchased ligit.
Apple did not develop the AAC format. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdvancedAudioCoding
AAC was developed with the cooperation and contributions of companies including Dolby, Fraunhofer IIS, AT&T, Sony and Nokia, and was officially declared an international standard by the Moving Pictures Experts Group in April 1997
For details of the improvements over mp3, have a read of the above link. I suspect the reason Apple chose the AAC format is the lower licence fees and the better quality and lower bitrates.
AAC's (like mp3 and wmv) can be DRM protected, and this is the format that most of the tracks sold in the iTune store use.
So mp3 are safe with iP4. But as you upgrade to iP5 or 6, and iTunes 6 or 7..... I beleive iTunes becomes smart and prevents you to even play mp3 or use them with Quick time if they have the DRM (copyright feature) I have encountered this problem before when I attempted to upgrade my iTunes.....and immediately, I reverted to iTunes 4.2... and it allows me to put songs on my QT files.
This is untrue. You can use DRM protected material with later versions of iPhoto and iTunes, within the limit of the DRM, of course. And you can use any unprotected material.
There might be other reasons (beyond my knowledge) why mp3 and or mp4 (AAC) do not play in QT in higher iTunes version.....
They do play, perfectly well. It sounds like you have a problem, but it's usually sorted out by having the latest version of iTunes and Quicktime

.Mov files in CC : The File Has no Audio or Video Streams

I recently updated premier to CC , since i have issues iimporting any .mov files at all.
The specific ones Im trying for my current project are exports from AE , rendered lossless animation .mov , worked fine in CS6 , will play in quicktime and other generic's but always getting the The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams message when trying to import into a project.
Quicktime is updated so I can't understand why the won't play, is this a CC bug ?
i go back to cs6 on my other comp they open fine...
Ive seen a few topics on this none with a resolution and most of those where from cam's, this is an export from AE, anyone able to help this is stopping me from working atm ......

I can verify that Apple screen recordings without audio do not import into any Adobe premeier.
Details on screen recording from Gspot v2.70a:
H.264
qt : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
File Type: QuickTime (.MOV)
Mime Type: video/quicktime
Len: 1:03.083
Frms: 1,521
Qf: 0.153
Frames/s: 20.000
wx: 1280 x 800
sar: 1.600 (8:5)
However Apple (MAC OSX) screen recordings WITH audio will import.
I would think this should be fixable with hotfixes...
If you (adobe staff) have access to macbook pros 2012 or 2013 models, open quick time pro, do a screen recording, make sure no audio is recording, just your screen movements.. then export to 1080p video (mov is only option).. then on a windows PC try to import that file into adobe premiere. The file will play perfectly fine natively in windows with any player so long as a H264 decoder is available on that system... the problem here is Adobe Premiere. Not the users system.
Edit:
To help those with this issue.. just make sure when you render your mov that you have ANY kind of audio in it.. and just remove the audio track once imported into premiere. I know it's frustrating and you would think something as simple as not having an audio track wouldn't break premiere but alas... we have to work around the shortcomings until they decide to fix it.. just like the VFR issue in premiere.

Import mov error. "The file has no audio or video stream".

Very interesting. Would this also explain why i was previously able to import some high def files I downloaded and after the reformat of my computer and reload of cs5.5, I'm now not able to use those files? It's very strange. I did a project, used the high def mov files and it came out great. After a mandatory reformat and reload, now the file doesn't want to import into premier. Error message was... "this file has no audio or video stream"... yet they play fine in media player, and one of the files works, but not the rest. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Mark

Mark,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrElements.
Maybe our MOD, Steve Grisetti, will move this out to the Premiere Pro CS 5 & CS 5.5 forum, where you will get more replies.
After the reformat, did you install Apple's QT Player? If so, what version.
What is the CODEC in those MOV files? That can be very important, but the very later versions of QT Player should install most of the popular CODEC's, that one sees in MOV, MP4, MTS, etc. files.
Good luck,
Hunt

Facebook has challenged the copyright of a movie using iMovie audio. Am i allowed to share movies made using audio clips from iMovie?

Just curious as to why it's coming up as a copyright violation?
Hard to say. I think FaceBook errs on the side of abundance caution when they detect anything that sounds like music.
It's also possible to that people use samples of various pieces of iLife audio contest to create a piece of work that they then copyright.

H264 AUDIO movie has no sound in Quicktime.

Hi.
I have a movie file which was playing the video, but no audio in Quicktime 7.6.2. I opened up the movie properties and saw under the name column a heading "English 5.1" Under the format it is listed simply as "sound". In the movie inspector it only lists the video format (h.264 704x480 millions) and no audio format... which is obviously why Quicktime is not playing the sound. However I opend the movie with VLC and Divx players and they played the movie with the audio with no problems. Mplayer also played it with the sound. I have ffmpgx so I used it to check the source format for it and it listed it is as a matroska (.mkv) container (which I knew), the video as h264 yuv420p 704x 480, but the audio was isted as "h264, 24000 Hz,5:1" I've never seen a h264 audio format before! Is there a codec I am missing to play it? I already have the most recent version of Perian (1.1.3) installed. Am I missing a codec? Can quicktime not play this format? Any input or ideas in general? I could use ffmpegx to export it to another audio format, but I'm just wondering why the original audio format does not play in Quicktime.
Thanks in advance!

AAC-SBR is also known as HE-AAC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-EfficiencyAdvanced_AudioCoding
QuickTime does not, to the best of my knowledge, natively support HE-AAC, or a least only supports it in a MOV or MP4 container (I've read contradictory information on HE-AAC support). I haven't found a QuickTime codec plugin that would allow QuickTime to play an mkv file with HE-AAC audio, so unless someone else here has further information, you'll probably have to convert that file to a different format to get it playing in QuickTime.
Regards.

IMovie HD movie has no Play buttons.. partially frozen

IMovie HD movie has no Play buttons.. partially frozen/ please help. It is only with a particular movie which is both on an external hard drive and on the computer.

Hi
there are two - most probably origin to this
• use of strange media eg .avi, .wmv .mp4 etc.
(not from miniDV tape Camera - as iMovie up to HD6 is made for)
Convert video to - streamingDV and
audio to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit (no .mp3 etc)
• corruption - eg iMovie pref file or preferences
Trash iMovie plist file
Repair Permissions
Usually helps here
Else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather be 25Gb or more
• Delete iMovie pref file
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
• Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• iMovie updated ?
• QuickTime updated ?
• Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

'File has no audio or video streaming' error -- I have codecs!

Hi!
I really hope someone can help me!
I am trying to import MOV files into Premiere CS5 (latest version, just downloaded last week) and I get the error message "file has no audio or video streaming.'
I can open these files just fine in Final Cut Pro X (which I hate, so hence why I am back on Premiere).
I already downloaded Quicktime 7, and the Quicktime Pro Codecs here (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396). When I tried to install those codecs, I got an error saying there is a newer version of the codecs installed on my machine.
My info:
Mac OS 10.6.8
Quicktime 10
(I read you also needed to download Quicktime 7 for some codecs. I did that, but it didn't help.)
Premiere CS5.5 (Trial)*
*I read the old trial did not allow you to import MOVs, but that the new trial does not have an issue -- so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Converting Videos Using Movie ToGo/No Audio

Have a movie that plays in Qicktime and itunes but it won't transfer to new video iPod. I am using a Mac with 10.4.3. I ran to movie using the Digigami MovieToGo converter. Video converted fine but has no audio. I did "Get Info" on the movie file and see it is formatted as a MPEG1 Muxed. It seems this converter (for the Mac) can not convert a movie with both video & audio with a Muxed format. Any ideas for a converter that can indeed handle a Muxed format.

David search then ask (and after you search you won't need to ask) there are enough references to several programs here to choke a horse.

Error message 'the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channels and the clip was created with 1 audio channel'

Can anyone help with the error message I'm getting 'the selected file cannot be linked because it has 2 audio channels and the clip was created with 1 audio channel'. I had to move the footage to another folder and now am unable to link it - just getting this error message instead.... Has anyone had to deal with this before?
Thank you!

Relink to the correct media.

Error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was

I recently purchased/upgraded from Premiere Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 9 and I cannot open the projects in version 9 that were created with version 5. It shows it as offline. I get a message to open up a file and when I do i receive the error message: The selected file cannot be linked because it has 6 audio channel(s) and the clip was created with 2 audio channels. Can someone help me or tell what I am doing wrong? All of my projects that were completed in version 5 cannot be opened up in version 9.
Thank you.

Bill,
I ran G-Spot on one of the files and here it what I have:
DVD "VOB" format
MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud }
Sys Bitrate: 10080 kb/s VBR
I guess I am really confused. The project that I am trying to open PrE 9 was completed in PrE 3 w/templates , scenes, etc. The movie was burned to a DVD. I cannot understand why I cannot open it with a newer version of PrE. According to G-Spot (I am assuming this is what you mean above), it is already in 2 channels. To me this should be ok. I put many, many hours into these videos and now it seems all for not.
Here is what I did so far:
I uploaded the required media files to a new project in PrE9 and let them index and conform. I saved the project with the same name in a different location. Do I have to do this to the project files and/or the original media files? Confusion starts here.
The next step is where I am confused. I do not know if I am proceeding in the right direction from here. There is the share tab in the upper right hand corner. Is this what you are talking about? I am truly lost from here.
Thanks.
