Mpeg 1 muxed to mpeg4 NO SOUND!!!

I am trying, without success, to create a movie with IMovie using some existing Q-time mpegs that are in mpeg1 muxed format (first time trying to do this...) - BUT! - the muxed audio will not export to mpeg4. No sound. Nada. The Quicktime "Help" has been unhelpful in resolving this. Suggestions?

QuickTime Pro has never been able to export audio from "muxed" files (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to either export or convert your .mpg files to QT formats.

What software do i need to play sound for MPEG-1 Muxed or MPEG-2 Muxed?

i converted one of my video files
but it only plays the vidoe but no sound.
according to "article" on this webpage,
I need speical software to play sounds for
MPEG-1 Muxed or MPEG-2 Muxed files.
WHAT SOFTWARE DO INEED?!
Please and thank you

Hello!!
Actually, you need Oracle Spatial or Oracle Locator. Oracle Locator is free on Oracle Express, and you could start with it. Otherwise, if you want to know more, Oracle Spatial comes with Oracle Enterprise, and Oracle 10g gives you a schema that allow you to store, manage and query spatial data through Oracle functions, etc.
To start using MapViewer, considering that you already have some spatial data stored on the database, you could download the MapViewer kit at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/index.html.
You could buy the Pro Oracle Spatial book. It´s very good.
Good Luck!

Embedded MPEG-1 Muxed movie in Keynote Export

Hi!
I have a presentation to do and there is a QuickTime file I have to include, and it works fine as a QuickTime embedded file in a Keynote presentation. However, I have to make it into a exported QuickTime Presentation.
Unfortunately the mov file is a MPEG-1 Muxed file and it doesn't export the sound when I export the Keynote to QuickTime. Plus it has a green line down the right side.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance

You want to get a program called MPEG Streamclip and convert the MPEG to a normal QuickTime format.

MPEG-1 MUXED - audio playback disappeared

Hi-
I've got a problem playing MPEG-1 muxed clips, the audio isn't playing back. Happened couple weeks ago, then fixed itself (maybe a codec expiry problem?), now I the sound is dead again, also QT is stalling after 10 secs of video playback..
Here's the details of the clip:
MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240
Comp is iMac G5, running Tiger 10.4.3 and QT 7.0.3
thanks in advance for the help!

wow Kirk, thanks for the tip, that fixed he problem strait away-
I'd been searching for awhile, googled, QT help, nothing - I didn't know the MIDI Setup controlled QT playback, and wonder why it changed to 96000 all of a sudden - maybe it changed after I played back a clip with that setting....
anyway, looks like I'll be able to solve that problem in future, its really the only one I've had in years of using QT -
thanks again!

No iMovie Support for MPEG 1 Muxed Video?

When I installed the new iMovie as a part of iLife 08, my iPhoto video's were imported into iMovie...I thought. However, only six of my 400 video clips came across. I called Apple Care and was informed that MPEG 1 Muxed video - the format used by virtually every high end Sony compact digital camera I've owned - is not supported. I was told that, using QuickTime Pro, I could individually convert each video clip in my iPhoto database to MPEG 2 or 4, 4 being the most robust format. That's a major hassle, to say the least. It doesn't seem that Apple would intentionally exclude the video taken by a vast number of iPhoto/iMovie users - Sony camera owners - but it looks like I may be mistaken. Thoughts? ideas? workarounds?

Apple is meant to be about plug it in and work with it, not spend 2 weeks of ** trying to find information on how to do stuff.
What you say is essentially true. However, IMHO there is a reasonable expectation that the item "plugged in" will be of the same form of technology as that into which it is plugged. For instance, I would never expect to "plug" a V2 rocket engine into a 1969 XKE Jaguar in place of the standard 6.2 liter gasoline engine and expect it to simply "work out of the box." Not all video is equal. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 muxed compression was not invented by Apple, the exclusive right to its use does not belong to Apple, and the spatial synchronization technology involved is different than Apple's own temporal synchronization technology.
How about apple just buy streamclip MPEG and integrate it into imovie 08 so that it is possible for it go say "this is a video I can't work with, please wait a moment whilst I reconvert it for you"... **, why not add it to iPhoto as well, so that it would do it when u add these videos from your camera and avoid the nasty iMovie issues.
Not a bad idea, but who pays for it? First of all, the QT structure does not reside within the applications themselves. They are now a fully integrated part of the operating system. (Ever wonder why you can't "downgrade" a QT update that is causing problems on your system or why people advise that you "wait and see" before installing?) So essentially, the operating system itself, as well as, all sub-systems and applications will have to rewritten, or at least modified, to properly interface with this new "hybrid" engine that you propose that Apple create. And if Apple is to integrate 2-decade old MPEG technology that pre-dates Apple's own technology and which has never been fully supported previously, should they not also include support for similarly aged interleaved compression formats (yet another synchronization technology) which are no longer supported even by their own creators? What about support for other current but proprietary codecs like VidX or WMP? While you may not want all of these different things supported, the man standing next to you probably does.
How much are you willing to pay? Surely Apple is going to pass the cost of research, development, and software maintenance on to the users. Will you spend an extra $225 to $250 to have muxed MPEG, DivX, WMV support "built in?" I'm not. Nor am I willing to foot the bill for outdated/abandoned AVI technology which I don't even use. I personally prefer to embrace the current modular approach and purchase/add only those components which I need on a daily basis but the person down the street doesn't use at all. Call it "freedom of choice" or call me a "cheapskate," but it is the way I feel about the matter. To me, it seems to boil down to a matter of "dollar$ & $ense." (Frankly, I would much prefer that Apple fix the current problems with its own supposedly "fully" supported compression formats before "mucking" about in the back yards of other manufacturers'. Of course, that is only my own personal opinion and I'm sure every reader out there as his or her own agenda here.)
This is not a technical issue. This is a usability issue. i refuse to trawl through my photo collection, re-encode them (even by batch process) and save back to their original locations.
Oh, I can agree that this is a usability issue, but only if "usability" includes the choice of hardware, choice to use/not use it, as well as, the choice to use/not use a workflow that avoids/gets around the problem.
1) If viewing and sharing of files is your only concern, then the choice of camera employing MPEG-1 compression is fine. However, the limited support for this format is well documented and of long standing (although I agree that Apple is not particularly "forthcoming" with that fact that is only "playback" supported).
2) I personally would never use any "still" camera to shoot video clips nor use a video camcorder to shoot "still photos. I.e., you should always use the best tool available for any given job. (E.g., I would not normally us a .22 to go rabbit or dove hunting nor a shotgun to go deer hunting or fishing either.) But, if your MPEG-1 still camera is the only "tool available," then the user must accept the problems that have always accompanied use of partially supported compression formats. (I.e., nothing has changed here.)
3) Am a bit more concerned about those who did their research, picked a camera that supposedly takes "fully" compatible QT video clips, and now find that iMovie '08 will not accept such clips. (E.g., Kodak cameras which take MPEG4/µ-Law clips and even places them in an MOV file container.) Makes me feel almost as if they were somehow cheated. However, at least these individuals can still use iMovie '06 in this case.
4) If you have a viable option that corrects the problem or gets around it and you choose not to use it, then that is a matter of personal choice and one should accept the consequences. Since these files were never audio supported in any iMovie version, I don't really understand why this incompatibility issue is suddenly such a big problem.

MPEG 1 Muxed

I have no idea what 'MPEG 1 Muxed' is but i am having trouble burning this format on iMovie. Is it a supported file type? It plays fine on my computer and plays fine when I do the preview but after I burn it will not play the audio (video is fine). the audio is from the movie and i am not trying to add audio from a different source.
if it is not supported- is there a converter that i can get to make it work?
thank you

.AVI is just a file 'wrapper' that contains content encoded in various ways. In general, .AVI isn't a good 'format' to use with Macs. You'll be better off with a .MOV file.
In addition, MPEG 1 muxed files are often reduced in image size so the quality may be limited.

No audio playback of MPEG-2 muxed program streams made with Compressor?

Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any fix? Audio plays in VLC so its not operator error..
Upgraded to QT 7.6.6 (1632) and no longer No have audio playback of MPEG-2 muxed program streams made with Compressor?
This machine played audio out of QT with these files prior to upgrade this afternoon.

I've never run a component conflict test is there a tool for that or is this a command in terminal?
There may still be some "tools" around to help with the process but you still have to run playback tests yourself and evaluate the results. The process is quite simple. You just need to "hide" one or more components, open the QT Player, and play a file to see if it is now working correctly. If it isn't, then continue "hiding" additional components. If the file does play correctly, then you have found a conflict and can start "unhiding" components to determine which one (or combination of components) is causing the problem by removing any "problem" components to an external location such as your desktop. Just remember to close the QT Player after each playback test. This is required (or at least used to be required) for the regeneration a new list of components available for use.
I used the term "hide" above since I simply keep a "Disable" folder handy in my Library QT Component folder for just such tests. Placing a component or set of components into the folder temporarily "hides" it from the QT Player when it next generates a list of the components available for use. Specific strategies vary. I sometimes use use a binary tree approach to hide the components (I.e., "hide" half of the components instead of one at a time.) Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how this works with regard to QT X. So, I would likely run such tests in the QT 7 Player. So far, when everything is working correctly in QT 7 Player, QT X seems to be able to play the same file(s) in QT X via the 32-bit switching process.

Will MPEG-2 convert a video with sound?

I've converted my videos to MPEG-4 using Quicktime Pro, and they play fine but with no sound.
Is this the application I need to convert them with sound?
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/

No. As Kay tried to explain, the MPEG2 component will simply allow you to extract the video data from a "muxed" stream of audio/video information. To extract and convert both audio and video data, use an MPEG based third party application like MPEG Streamclip (free). This application uses MPEG routines to decocde "muxed files (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, etc.) and then uses your QT Tools package to convert them to an iPod specific (or other QT compatible) format. (NOTE: Windows version of MPEG Streamclip does require the Apple MPEG2 component you asked about.)

I demuxed my mpeg 1 video and imported the sound and video seperately

into iMovie. The video works perfectly, but I can't get the sound to work. It's an m1a file in iTunes and when I choose it, it's not moving to the timeline below the video clip. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Sue.
I know I iMovie can't play muxed mpeg 1, but I demuxed it and have a separate audio file in iTunes. How can I put an audio file with the movie? I can hear the audio file in iMovie, but I can't put it down in the timeline with the video clip. I think I'm probably just doing it the wrong way.
If I wanted to add a song from iTunes, what are the steps for doing so. I think that's my problem. I'm new to the Mac world, thus new to iMovie. I'm sure I'm just not doing the right steps.
I can see the video and I can hear the separate audio file, both in iMovie. How do I put them together? (I guess I should have stated it more clearly the first time, sorry about that)

Conversion to MPEG4, loosing sound

If I convert a video file (MPEG) to prepare it for my iPod classic I seem to loose the audio channels. What can I do to secure the audio and video?
BTW If i play the converted file I have no audio on my iPod, nor on iTunes on my desktop.
Pieter

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.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

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.

IMovie MPEG-2 Muxed audio missing

Audio is missing from your imported Sony DVD Handycam, I have had installed MPEG-2 when importing from iMovie or QuickTime, I still don't get audio.
Can I get a plugin to make muxed audio work..?

Since you have the MPEG-2 component. You can use MpEG-Streamclicp to demux the Mpeg-2...

MPEG-1 Muxed - As data file

Here's a new one for me:
Clients have a DJ/A-V system that we are using to play videos from (don't freak, all licensed). The only format it will accept it a muxed MPEG-1
I have numerous QT files (created in FCE) in standard DV format. MPEG-4 will not work. I can use Toast to convert the files into a VCD, but what we need are indivdual files to load into, and play out of the system
Anyone have ideas? Will QT pro do this for me .. and can I still get that with QT 6.5? How about the MPEG-2 Encoder . I don't mind spending some money to do this, but of course, would rather not
Any advice muchly appreciated

Ahh ... knew there was something like that ..(too much in head, head too old) Gonna try
Merci

Does iMovie '08 support MPEG-2 Muxed video?

Also, pardon my ignorance, are there different MPEG-2 codecs? In other words, are all MPEG-2 video footage the same accross videocameras?

No. Just tried it, muxed and demuxed. No go. Your best bet will be to download MPEG Streamclip and convert it to something that will import.

Mpeg 1 Muxed files

I understand that when you import "muxed files", (I have no idea what that means) you only get the video, no audio. I have some Quicktime movies like this. Is there a way I can change the format of the file so I get the audio too?

MPEG Streamclip (free) can export muxed files to QuickTime formats and include the audio.

Converted mpeg-2 to m4v yet no sound

I converted an mpeg-2 file to m4v via quicktime (with that 20 dollar upgrade). I get the video and it plays on itunes and apple TV, however, no sound. I guess I need to do something with the audio codec or something. Any ideas? Thanks.

QuickTime Pro can't extract the audio track from MPEG (1 or 2 format) files.
Do the work with MPEG Streamclip (free).

Mpeg 1 muxed to mpeg4 NO SOUND!!!
