Music videos play audio only

i have a bunch of music videos i downloaded from youtube using PodTube. the videos are in .mp4 format that are converted for the ipod. when i sync them to the iphone they appear in the music video section, but when i play them i get a blank screen but it plays the full audio. my question is, how do i get the video to play (along w/ the audio)?
the video dimensions are 320x240 and the codec is MPEG-4.

found a temporary solution, but it still strange. for each clip I did "get info" and changed the media type from "video clip" to "films". Now they play just fine.

Videos play audio only?

Since the iPod got dropped on the floor recently, everything works but we can't get the video from the videos, we get the audio only. Games work, music works fine. If this was a problem with the screen, these wouldn't work, right
Videos play fine on iTunes on the computer, but not iPod. Only audio plays on iPod.
If the files were corrupted, wouldn't play full videos on mac. or would it.

Possible cable connection error...
If you have a cable +designed for use with the Apple iPod,+ then all you need do is match up the colors, red to red, white to white and yellow to yello. If you're curious...
Red is right side audio
White is left side audio
Yellow is Video
If you have a cable +designed for use with something other than the Apple iPod,+ the following may be your situation:
White is Right Audio and should connect to the TV's Red jack
Yellow is Left Audio and should connect to the TV's White jack
Red is Video and should connect to the TV's video jack

Converting a Music Video to Audio only (music)

I have a music video (mpeg4 format I believe) and I would like to convert it to audio. It is a clip (video) of a song from YouTube and I would like to just listen to it on my iPod. I was also wanting to add lyrics to it but seen that I could not add lyrics when I go to "Get Info" to a music video.

Hi njrichardson,
You can only add lyrics to songs, not music videos. I don't think iTunes can convert music videos into songs, so you'll have to use an external software or website to do that.

MPEG4(mp4) video plays audio only

Hi all,
Being noobie here, I have searched and it seems I am the only one confused by this. I have a new Xmas pressie 8800 Sirocco, all else seems great. BUT
Whenever I receive an MP4 video (even one that is playing fine on friends phones) I get good audio and a black screen with just a static 'film-clip' icon i.e. no video track.
This casme to my notice because all 3GP videos I receive have really distoted audio.
Hurumph. Any help or ideas please?
Thanks :-)

jerry_lewis, many thanks!
That and koRngear's post have set me on the trail of knowledge
After much frustration I have a definitive answer to my (and maybe others yet to come) problem with this phone.
It crashes the phone's OS or processor if the AAC audio codec is used to encode a video. (even though the AAC codec is a part of the 3gp sec)
Using the AMR_NB codec produces AWFUL biscuit tin rattle soundtrack.
I have verified this completely by removing all other variables (i think ) and through repetition.
Either I have a faulty Sirocco OR the Sirocco's handling of video soundtracks is (sounds like) plucked.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity.

AVI video plays audio only on MacOS, QuickTime 7.2.0

Hi,
I recently received an AVI video from a friend. When I play it on either QT 7.2 or RealPlayer -- I get the audio, but no video.
I transferred the file to a PC running Windows XP, and QuickTime plays the video properly there.
Any suggestions?

But how would I know which codec is correct for my particular AVI?
If the file opens in the QT Player, open the "Inspector" window and check the "Format:" line. For most files it will indicate the video codec used, encoded dimensions, and color depth of the video track, as well as, the audio codec, channel assignments, and sampling rate of the soud track. Usually this is enough for you to google the codec for Mac use to see if something is readily available. For most commonly use AVI formats, Perien is frequently sufficient. If the codec turns out to be proprietary (e.g., DivX, WMV, ext.), then you may have to purchase a codec. If it turns out to a really old one like "Indeo," then you may simply be out of luck as far as the QT Player is concerned.

Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

HT1349 can music video play on itunes

Can music video play in itunes?

The only time I had that problem was with a music file that was saved as a .WMA format. I don't suppose that is your problem since you purchased it from the iTunes store. How about dumping it (remove it from your iTunes and from your iTunes library folder - put it someplace else on your computer to save it just in case.) and trying to download it again - you are allowed to do that up to five times.

I cant play audio only mp4 or mp3 file with audio tag in firefox...how to tackle this?

In my web application m trying to play audio only mpeg 4 or mp3 files.I m using HTML5 <audio> tag to accomplish this,it smoothly working in chrome but not in firefox.Why this basic support not avail in Firefox??
Note: I read about some patent issues with mp4 and mp3 but i wonder why chrome browser can play those files.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates?
If not, please do so.
You have not given us enough information with which to help you.
What are the properties of your source file that is presenting in the project with audio but no video?
Quickest way to gain that information is from brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video.

What does the file's thumbnail look like in Project Assets after it is imported....thumbnail with no image (gray), thumbnail with only an audio icon
within it, or other? On the Timeline, what do you see represented in Video 1....nothing as opposed to Audio 1 where you see the audio portion of
the file?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1? Are you running the programs as

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

Best way to play Audio only on a DVD with video?

I have a Meditavie DVD i am making with both video and Audio combined....and i want to make some tracks that are just Audio only
for close eye Meditations. ( i dont want to have to add a CD with the DVD for just Audio)
I made one years ago and just used black as the video output track.
Is there a way to save space and just have the audio track play?
And if so how might i do it and also link to the DVD menu?
Thanks for any help!
Soshman

Below is what I wrong before I tested the obvious. Just "import as timeline" the audio only (make sure there is no m2v with the same name); Encore happily builds a disk with black. Mediinfo shows the video stream, but it appears to be at a very low datarate. So, give it a try. I did not burn a disk; just build to a folder and used a software player.
Other options: Encore slideshows have odd problems, I'd play with making a single slide (just black, right?) slideshow, maybe set to manual advance with no advance - or a very long duration to match the audio length.
If an m2v works better for whatever reason, Encore has a minimum bitrate, I think around 2.x or 1.x. So I would try exporting from Premiere,10 seconds of black video using CBR 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and see if it matters.

Quicktime .MOV file plays audio only - no video

Okay, here goes...
I created a .MOV file from Avid via the H.264 codec. This file contains video and audio and was made on a Mac using Leopard. I played it back successfully on that machine.
I then copied it to a data DVD and put it on my XP PC with all OS software up to date. I have a freshly updated QT 7.6 install. The files will only play back audio on my PC - video appears black (if preferences are set to Direct X) or white (if preferences are set to safe mode). Video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO; driver is up to date.
Anybody have any insight into what I need to do to my PC to get this video to play?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't directly address the issue I am having (though it does show me the world of hurt out there when FCP and Avid bump up against each other in the same post process).
And the third-party page doesn't have any codecs for Avid.
Again, I am at a loss. I created the QT files from my Avid project on a Mac. The files played back properly on that Mac. They won't play back on my Windows machine, so I can only assume that there's something missing or different between the QT versions for Mac and Windows.
Since I can't figure out how to get these files to play properly on a PC and since my home machine is a PC, I guess I will not output footage from Avid to a .MOV file in the future. I will try to find a format that Windows Media Player likes, I guess.
Thanks for the help.

Why does my iPad 2 think my iTunes U videos are audio-only?

I downloaded some iTunes U videos via iTunes 10.5.2 and they play fine (as videos with full audio) in iTunes 10.5.2 on my MacOS 10.5.8 dual G5 PowerMac. However, when I sync up my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1 via USB cable with the above iTunes 10.5.2 containing the above iTunes U videos, the iPad2 somehow thinks they are just audio-only files and they show up in the Music app (double tapping them in the Music app just plays the audio part of the file without any video) instead of the Videos app (which I would expect to find them). After all, when I sync up non-iTunes U movies to my iPad 2, it recognizes them as regular videos and they show up and play fine in the Videos app. And since I can watch the videos on my PowerMac desktop, it's obvious that the video hasn't been somehow stripped out. Is there a setting I can batch-set on all these iTunes U files in iTunes that will allow the iPad 2 to recognize them as videos instead of only audio?

If you have the WiFi-only iPad (which does not have GPS) your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers.
Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured.
The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database.
Note to be used for location determination, a device does not need to be actually connected to a router, it just has to see the router. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen. When a router is moved from one location to another erroneous locations can sometimes be reported until the router's location is corrected in Apple's database. This may be the source of your problem.

Music Videos - Play, but no sound. HELP?

I've converted the music videos for the ipod nano 3rd gen. and they play.. But with no sound on the ipod and in the library. When trying to play it in the library after converting, the little icon that shows a speaker doesn't have the 'sound waves' beside like it usually does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've looked through the forums for help and some people have suggested downloading something? I don't want to download random programs that I might not have to.
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.
