MPEG1 Muxed video

I have some video clips from a video camera's still function/memory stick...takes about 20 mins video.
the clips are 320x240 with sound. when I pull them into FCP, I see the video, but there's no sound.
Is there something I can do? without sound, the clips are pretty worthless.
thanks!

FCP doesn't work with audio from muxed sources ... you need to convert these MPEG1 files to a more suitable edit format such as DV
you can download and use the free and very popular MPEG Streamclip application for converting these files http://www.squared5.com/

Many MPEG1 muxed videos play half way then stop

Lots of .mpg and .avi files stop half way through; .wmv, using Flip4Mac, work okay. The position pointer continues on to the end of the file and audio continues, but video stops. These are usually MPEG1 muxed; my QuickTimeMPEG.component file is 7.4.5 from June 2006. Is that he culprit, and if so, is there a newer one somewhere?

Obviously the MPEGs have broken timecodes which the QT is allergic to.
You can fix them with MPEG Streamclip and convert the fixed file as a new MPEG.

MPEG1 Muxed - MISSING AUDIO FILES

I have a few QT clips that are MPEG1 Muxed. When I import into FCP all I get is the video file and not the audio file. Is there a way obtaining the audio files from a Muxed clip?

Rather than demuxing with MPEG Streamclip , this demuxing advice which is tirelessly offered to many who then have no idea what to do with separate video and audio stream files, use MPEG Streamclip to export the MPEG-1 to DV and let it do the work for you in one pass. It can export to all QT formats and DV and you get the video and audio in a ready to use file. Better no?
Keep in mind MPEG-1 which is typically 352X240 at <30 fps will suffer a lot quality-wise when upsampled to 720X480 at 30 fps. There is not much data there to work with.

MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240 At 25 FPS

Hello there,
I have a video which is MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240 At 25 FPS..
Which software program allows you to adjust the Frames Per Second, and will that help with the jerky video, in anyone's opinion?
Your time is much appreciated..
Take Care,
Eric

I'd like to know which application is best, or easiest, to adjust the Frames Per Second from 25 to 30, or 29.xx..
JES deinterlacer is part of the process.....look at the iMovie FAQ site here for more info:
http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/tips_tricks/6017.shtml
Method B, better quality
Almost no jerky movement. The drawback is that you need time and hard drive space for one full copy of your DV files.
JES Deinterlacer can convert NTSC<->PAL with much better quality than converting with iDVD, iMovie or QuickTime Player Pro.
When iMovie HD or iDVD converts NTSC<->PAL it deinterlaces the video and just duplicates some frames to make up for the difference in frame rate, so the movement gets jerky. QuickTime Player Pro can preserve interlacing but in some versions this might introduce ugly interlacing streak artifacts to the converted video. JES Deinterlacer preserves interlacing and it also intelligently blends more than two video fields from the input file to a frame of the output file, if needed, so the movement is smooth.
FYI the iMovie link to JES is busted, but the link I provided before is working.

Missing Audio when Converting from MPEG1 Muxed to Ipod using QT Pro 7

I just got my video iPod over Christmas. After reading up on QT Pro 7, I purchased it over the weekend, and have attempted unsuccessfully the past two nights to convert home videos (taken with my Sony digital camera) to iPod format. My home movies play fine when I open them in Quicktime; however, when I export to the iPod format (and also when I export to mpeg4 format), I only get the video and not the audio.
I've confirmed that my key for QT Pro 7 is successfully loaded, so that's not the issue.
I've also confirmed that the format of the original video taken from my camera is "MPEG1 Muxed". Several internet discussion boards seem to indicate that missing audio is a common problem for people using Sony cameras and Quicktime. If this is the case, I'd prefer to simply refund my money and buy one of the other video to iPod converters available on the web.
So, either help me solve this problem, or help me get a refund. I'm fine either way.

QT does not export the sound when exporting from muxed mpegs (mpeg-1 or mpeg-2). QT Mpeg Limitations
You should be able to export both sound and video with this Windows freeware:

MPEG1 muxed files

I have music files that are MPEG1 muxed files, but I don't know how to separate the video and audio.
I have Windows XP, so FFmpeg and BBDemux wont work.
I've tried using some softwares such as DGIndex and Videora, but still wont work.
What should i do?

if your trying to convert videos then the video format only supprted by the ipod is .mov or .mp4 no other format is supported by the ipod. To convert the video successfuully the best results for windows users hasbenn using videora.
Remember:
this software is not supported by apple so with any support or questions you have go to their support forums for help not here. All the links are below and this is a good solution for windows users.

Import MPEG1 Muxed Problem - No audio

I am attempting to import some video clips that have been save to disk in the "MPEG1 - Muxed" format (according to Get Info).
The clips play perfectly in Quicktime - video and audio.
When I import them into iMovie, however - NO SOUND. Video is fine.
Are there any tricks I need to know for importing these clips? Not that it matters, but they are long (about an hour each - 6 of them) and about 1.2 gig each.
Thanks in advance.

OK - I have downloaded Streamclip. There are many choices for conversion. I am not going to do anything fancy in iMovie - I just need to edit the clips. For example, I do NOT need to alter the audio in any way - I just want the audio to stay synched with the video as I cut various snippets.
So of the many choices in Streamclip - which would be best?

Getting MPEG1 Muxed Into iDVD

I have almost 70 movie clips from way back that are MPEG1 Muxed, 320 x 240, 1399 kbits/sec. and about 70 MB in size. Since iDVD doesn't like these files, I've been tryig to convert them with Cleaner, but with limited success.
Exporting to DV stream works, but make huge files. I can pull this off, about 80 GB, but want to see about other options. I just want these on DVD instead of my HD. Thanks for any help

Alex,
Remember the old computer saying - GIGO - Garbage In - Garbage Out.
Your MPG-1 content is very low in image quality - even compared to the fairly low quality of MPG-2.
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time trying to convert what you have to very marginal DVDs. I would either: (1) use Roxio's Toast Titanium to create Video CDs from your MPG-1 files (they are MPG-1 based and thus the same quality) or (2) just burn all the MPG-1 files to writable CDs or DVDs from the Finder to create a backup so they can be deleted from your hard drive.

No sound on MPEG1 muxed files.

Help. For some reason my old clips that use MPEG1 Muxed (sound) now have NO sound. I have isolated it to this modem type as all other file formats, including windows formats play okay.
Also, MS Word no longer beeps or makes other prompting type sounds.
Also, MovieMagic Screenwriter no longer produces any sound when saving, detecting spelling errors, etc.
Also, Real media player no longer produces sound, mainly used for streaming radio staions, as most only support Realmedia or Windows streaming. Video os okay, just no sound. This also includes no sound when watching or listening to anything from Youtube.
I was running 10.4.8 from the software update and everything was fine. I downloaded Audacity this morning, opened it, did nothing with it and then closed it. Possibly the problems started at that point but I'm not sure. I have since downloaded and re-installed 10.4.8 using the combo 10.4.8 version according to the apple guidlelines, but there is no change.
Everything was working fine, and always has, now I suddenly have all of these problems with sound. Never had this before ever. Also downloaded the latest version of QT pro again, but no difference detected.
iTtunes works okay and so do all of the OSX alert sounds as well as my clock.
Please, can anyone help? The problem is on my iMac G5, 20 in, 2GHz.

Does imovie 09 support mpeg1 muxed?

Anyone know if imovie 09 naturally supports mpeg1 muxed or do we still have to go through the streamclip conversion BS?

If your camera creates MPEG-1 files you'll need to convert them prior to use in any version of iMovie.
MPEG-1 Layer 3 (the audio portion known as .mp3) does not require conversion.

MPEG1 Muxed file conversion

Hello!
Can anybody recomend what I should be converting MPEG1 Muxed files (from a Sony DSC-W30 camera) to to use with imovie? I have been making MPEG-4 on Streamclip and it seems to work well. Just wondering if there is something quicker/better/faster I should be using/doing? Thanks in advance for any help!!

OK, I bucked up and purchased MPEG-2 Component. Now I get this message when I try to drag the MP4 file into my iMovie 6:
While I consider the MPEG-2 Playback component a good investment for a number of reasons, they have nothing to do with the playback or import of MP4 content. The MP4 file container is associated with MPEG4/AAC and H.264/AAC files -- neither of which require the MPEG-2 component which is for use with MPEG-2 (MPEG, M2V, VOB, etc.) compressed files.
"The file could not be imported: The file can't be imported; QT couldn't parse it: -2048"... What does this mean?
Error code -2048 (NoMovieFound) is normally associated with a corrupted file or improperly terminated file. For instance, prematurely closing a file while it is being written (i.e., power outage, "brown out", forced closing of the application, etc.) may prevent the writing of a valid end to the file. In addition, some applications (like Windows) write "open-ended" files which QT applications consider invalid. (Files indiscriminately downloaded from the Internet frequently have this problem.) In any case, without a valid termination or known "end of the data" a movie file will not be recognized valid and usually return a -2048 error or some sort of "Not a Movie" message.

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.

Why are my video saying 'unsupported mpeg1 muxed' in Aperture 3?

Mpeg1 Muxed

I have a QuickTime mpeg1 which is muxed and can't get it to play properly, the movie runs to the end but is unfinished, when I go to Properties and extract, another window appears with another section of the movie.
Also, if I play to the end, click outside of the player and click on the player again, the beginning of the movie becomes the start of the next section. I have to do this three times to view the whole thing.
Can anyone tell me how to save this file as a complete movie?

Please mark the question as solved so others that search these forums can find the solution.
MPEG Streamclip should be on every Mac that works with video.

Non- muxed video problem

i am trying to get the sprint: locker room video from this site http://www.ifilm.com/player/?ifilmId=2691874&pg=&skin=askmen&refsite=6183&launch Val=1&mediaSize=default
onto my ipod, i have converted it to ipod format but whe i watch it on my ipod, there is no sound. I kmow its not muxed because for format it says "Format: MovieMovie Apple QuickDraw, 400x300, Unknown.
So what is the issue since its not muxed....

NO, I do not think I will waste my time downloading and converting something I have no interest in seeing.
Try using a different program to convert.
Mpeg streamclip : http://www.squared5.com/
Mediacoder: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
or google for converter.
