My MPEG4 videos files are now audio only files

I updated to the newest version of Quicktime. Now, when I launch an MPEG4 video, all I get is the audio. The video is gone. What's going on here? I need these files to go back to the way they were. What can I do????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed that no ONE person answered this post. I mean; it's not like I switched to Windows LOL.
Anyway, I found a fix for my problem from another post. If this helps you, please thread this message saying it helped you too. This is what I read from another post:
I fixed this issue on a MacBook by swapping out the mp4 component for an earlier version.
You can find it in /System/Library/Quicktime/
I advise backing up the original (later version 7.4.1), this is just good practice.
For those of you who don't have an older version kicking about on another Mac, download it here:

good luck

  • New user- all my files are now read only -

    I am using a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with Windows XP  and my husband has a Dell Dimesion 4600 desktop.  Two weeks ago I installed a Linksys Compact Wireless-G USB adapter on his computer and then installed a WRT54G v.6 wireless router.  All is working fine for internet connection. Today I discovered all my files are now read only and even when I uncheck the read only box and click apply, then close the file, on re-opening it it is again read only.  Even the files on my external hard drive are now read only. 
    I am backtracking to see where a change was made that was unintended and the wireless router was the last thing I installed.  Is there a connection?  And if so, can someone help me make the necessary changes or tell me where to find out?
    I read through a lot of messages but did not immediately see this situation addressed.

    seems to be an OS issue , because there is nothing on the router setting that could change the configuration on the computer....try System Restore....can't think of anything else at this point...

  • How do you convert the audio from a mpeg4 video file to mp3?

    How do you convert the audio from a mpeg4 video file to mp3 format?

    Probably the easiest way to do this is to download a free media convertor. Most will be able to convert video into audio files.

  • How do you rotate still image on timeline in CS 5.5.2 PP, when another timeline is open and video is off and audio only is used. ?

    I am using a clip with video off and using audio only on second timeline.
    The some still images need rotating,  (on the  main timeline ) it easy to do that in the monitor when I am not using an additional video timeline. however, I cannot orient the horizontal images to vertical .?
    I have turned the second video off and , I am using audio only .
    Any ideas ?

    it easy to do that in the monitor
    Select image in timeline, then go up to the Effect Controls and highlight the word Motion.
    Now a bounding box will appear in the Program Monitor.

  • I want to stream all audio to my stereo via AirPort. Right now audio only streams with iTunes, not when I'm online (YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify). What must I do? Thanks! 2011 macbook pro 10.6.8

    Thanks, Bob. I've seen this suggested before. However, I'm at a friend's place (cat-sitting). He owns an older MacBook (almost positive) and he streams audio without Airfoil. All he uses is AirPort Express. He told me to simply click alt-option and the volume icon and a menu drops down, and I select "AirPort Express". But it never appears. All the menu offers is this:
    "AirPort Express" isn't an option.
    Why is that? Is there something fundamental I'm not doing?

  • HT201302 What if after importing my videos, they are now sideways when I view them on my computer? Anyway to fix that?

    What if after importing my videos, they are now sideways when I view them on my computer? Anyway to fix that?

    What video player are you using? The video will likely playback normally in QuickTime.
    You might be able to rotate video using other players, like Windows Media Player OR VLC, playback controls .
    There is a big thread discussing this here, it has lots of good info -> iPhone 4 HD video recordings play upside when imported to my computer

  • Audio/video chat works but audio only doesn't

    Audio-video chats (both 2-way and one-way) work, but audio ONLY chats don't work (connection error). One machine is running 10.4.2 and the other 10.3.9. Doesn't seem like this would be a firewall or bandwidth issue if AV chats are working fine. Why would this happen?

    I have the same issue, as well as the other iChat issues on other posts. When our offices (SF area & LA area, CA, US) were on 10.3.9, no problems with audio or video chats (we all have AIM screen names). Then the boss upgraded to 10.4.1. He could a/v chat with anyone inside our network and could video (with sound) with the other office, but not audio only. When he is at home he could a/v with anyone. We upgraded one more computer in our office to 10.4.1 and it was able to audio chat to other Tiger machines outside the office, but not Panther machines (can chat with anyone inside too). Now the boss and I have upgraded these same machines to 10.4.2 and the audio chat doesn't work outside the office anymore and we still can't chat with Panther machines outside the office.
    Our office has Netopia Cayman 3546-002 ADSL Broadband Gateway on SBC Yahoo DSL at 4936 kbps down/493 kbps up. I called Netopia and had them help me open up the ports (I had them look at the apple tech document so they could help me get it right). It has NAT enabled and all the computers on this LAN have static addresses. Most of the computers access the LAN through the airport express (which just bounces the signal from the wired side). I think we have port forwarding or mapping set up for our two servers...the router looks at the address from the WAN side and routes it to the address on the LAN side. Firmware is up to date on the router.
    I did not originally set up this network and have spent much time reading the user manual for the modem/router (it's a combo device) and trying suggestions here and from Level 2 at Apple. They say it is our network, but I don't know how to fix it.
    I don't think this router has any UPnP capability, that I could find in the manual. Also what is SIP? I need a description of it or at least what that acronym stands for. Also, I've seen stuff about using the Terminal to change the telenet port. This routers telenet is set to 23, that should be fine for iChat, right? No conflict?
    Please help this tortured soul!! Thanks.

  • Two-way video chat with other (audio-only) participants?

    Is it possible to have a five-way chat in iChat with
    . - myself and one other participant via video, and
    . - three other participants via audio only?
    I know there's an option for one-way video conferencing, where only one person in a conference has video and the other(s?) have audio, but what about two with video and the others with audio?
    And if we did this, could the three audio participants see the two video participants even if the three don't participate via video?

    Hi,
    You can start A One Way Video chat with a Buddy without a Camera.
    You can add others up to the standard 4 people (you and three others) and some can be audio Only.
    You do have to have a Mac of a G4/1Ghz dual or above and have a Upload speed of 256 k at the very Least (Apple Specs say 384k) although more is preferable when you are Host.
    Ideally the Host should be the fastest Mac with the fastest connection.
    Invite Camera able Buddies first then Audio Only Buddies by clicking on the green A/V icon they are showing in the Buddy list.

  • Buffer Overrun error when playing MPEG4 video files

    Recently i upgraded to the newer version of itunes with quicktime 7.0.2. I am not able to play my MPEG4 video which i have in my itunes library for my ipod anymore.
    The video plays for a few seconds but with artifact type glitches in the video and then i get a Runtime Error saying "Buffer Overrun Error". This didnt happen to me before.
    I have the latest dirextX and windows updates and have also tryed rolling back quicktime to an earlier version. The error still occurs. The videos also play fine when they are on my ipod.
    Any suggestions why this is happening?

    I found a solution to my problem. I upgtraded my chipset drivers and that fixed my problem.

  • AVI files aren't displaying video in Premiere cs5, audio only.

    I've tried encoding/converting the like another user suggested in this thread
    Download and install VLC.
    In the folder containing your AVI files, create a new text document called "avi2mp4.bat" (without the quote marks). Be sure it has the .BAT extension; you'll have to remove the .TXT extension that is added by default.
    Paste the following into the batch file and save it:@ECHO OFF for %%a in (*.avi) do "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc" -I dummy "%%a" --sout=#:file{dst="%%~na".mp4} vlc://quit
    To run the batch, simply double-click it, or you can drag and drop AVI files onto it, and they will be rewrapped as MP4s with the same filename as the original. If you use the drag and drop approach, you can save this file anywhere on your hard drive, and any files dropped onto it will be converted and placed in the same folder as the original.
    That's it. The MP4s will import correctly into Premiere, and you won't be doing any transcoding."
    but all i get is this

  • Video podcasts play as audio only.

    Since the release of Podcasts, I have been using it to watch my regular assortment of video podcasts. On at least two occassions (so far) the app has decided to play only the audio from the podcast using the audio interface and ignore the video. Switching podcasts does not help. To top it off, even in audio mode, the audio controls do not seem to function properly. The only fix I have found is to exit back to the Home screen, terminate the background Podcasts process and relaunch.
    If I look at the information for the podcast episodes they are properly identified as video podcasts and play properly once the app is relaunched.

    You're welcome!

    Hi All,
    What I thought to develop is to write a JDBC connection in the Stan-alone PDF template and access database.
    example: PDF is designed in such a way that it should have "USERNAME" , "PASSWORD" , "LOGIN BUTTON" , so that PDF stand-alone template on every desktop should access the database on entering the correct credentials.
    is it possible..?
    if possible , please provite the solution..?

  • 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.
