No audio after quicktime pro import!

I had a VHS tape converted to dvd. When I stuck the disk in my computer and opened it on my desktop it had many files including a video-ts file and an audio-ts file. In the video file it had IFO files BUP files and VOB file. None would go into I-Movie. So I tried Quicktime Pro. It would only take the VOB files and had no sound. I was able to transfer the VOB files to MOV files and them I-Movie would accept it, but again with no sound. When I just play the DVD it has sound so I know the sound is in there, but the audio file is empty!! Did I have the VHS tape converted to DVD in the wrong way or is there a way to get that audio to I-Movie? Any help would be great! Thanks.

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Recording audio crashes Quicktime Pro.

    every time i attempt to record audio with quicktime pro, the program crashes.
    i have a few components installed, which i removed from the library/quicktime directory, but this did not change anything.
    here is a list of the components in that directory...
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    DivX Deoder/Encoder.component
    Flip4Mac Export/Import.component
    OggImport.component
    Perian.component
    Theora.component
    i didn't know what "appleintermediatecodec" was, so i didn't remove it. everything else was however, but no fix.
    and i don't even know what "theora" is.
    below is a crash summary...

  • Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of audio with quicktime PRO ?????

    I wish to convert Windows AVI hd files with 4 channels of adio to Quicktime mov, retaining the four tracks of audio, will quicktime pro do this

    It depends on what the audio and video codecs used in the video. AVI is just a container format and make use any number of codecs, some of which QuickTime for Windows can support but many it cannot. If you can post information on the codecs, someone here can probably give more direct advice.

  • Quicktime Pro - Importing PNG graphics as Logo for Video fails...

    Hey guys,
    I am using the latest Quicktime on PPC. I have a video, created of several PNG graphics, and saved as Quicktime Video.
    Now I want to add a small Logo on the upper right corner. For that, I use a graphic-file in PNG format, using the Alpha layer. So all that should be visible is the Logo itself.
    I did it according to the Quicktime7UserGuide.pdf:
    Open Logo.png in Preview, copy, switch to QT, Select All, Add to Selection and Scale.
    Well, the graphics is added to the movie, but as a black square, the size of the bounding box of my PNG (and not the shape of the Logo itself).
    Tuning around with all the Adjustments I found in MovieProperties didn't work. I also recreated the Logo in Photoshop (instead of Gimp), just to make sure that's not the problem.
    The Alpha Layer is correctly (not) displayed in Preview.
    Ideas? Appreciate it...

    Yep. Some ideas for your graphic "import" to Quicktime.
    Use the QuickTime Pro)) "Import" or "Open in new player" to open your graphic. Once opened Command-A (select all) and Copy (Command-C) switch to your QuickTime file and select a portion (or all) of your video. Command-V (to paste) or chose Add to Selection & Scale.
    Default is the upper left most location. You can edit this via the Movie Properties window.
    Once pasted you need to set the properties of this individual track. Choose your track and use the movie properties window to set them to size and location and the set the "Visual Settings" to adjust the "transparency" level and its presentation settings.
    I've added .png files to many of my "movies" without any errors.

  • White screen after Quicktime Pro 7 captures

    I use an automator script in combination with iCal and Quicktime Pro 7.6.6 to capture video content overnight from a commercial satellite. Most mornings when I wake the screen from sleep (I don't put the processor to sleep) Quicktime Pro has successfully capture the program, but the video window that's open on the screen is pure white (just within Quicktime - the remainder of the desktop is normal). Pressing play will begin to play the video; you just can't see anything except white, though you can hear the audio. I have to quit Quicktime and then open the video document again to see the perfectly normal video. Same is true of any other video file on my hard drive. If I don't quit and restart Quicktime, all I get is a white video window. I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that my iMac 24 screen is asleep when the capture process is taking place.
    Any suggestions?

    After upgrading to 7.1, i noticed this problem as well. The sound plays fine, but all i see is a white video. This only happened for videos using an H.264 Decoder or MPEG4 decompressor (.mp4, .m4v, most .mov files). However, the picture was fine while playing any other file type (.avi, .mpg, .mpeg, .swf).
    I then figured out a way to fix this problem. If you go into A/V controls and move any of the four sliders under "Video" (Brightness, Color, Contrast, Tint), the video will play fine. It doesn't matter which slider/how many you move, nor does it matter how much you move the slider. If at least one of the sliders isn't centered, the video will play. The only problem with this is that you have to do it every time you watch a video, which can get annoying.
    Also, after reading this thread, I disabled Direct3D video acceleration as mentioned above, which worked wonderfully! Thank you!
    So, really the only purpose of this post is to provide more information so Apple can fix it in their next release of QT.

  • NO AUDIO with QuickTime Pro and MPEG-2 Playback

    I just purchased Sony Camcorder (Sony DCR-DVD610 DVD Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom) and recorded some movies. But when I tried to view it through my iMac (Version 10.4.11) the MPG format files wouldn't played.
    So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
    Anybody knows the answer?. Please help -- Thanks much!

    So I purchased "QuickTime Pro 7.5" and "MPEG-2 Playback" -- Well, the movies finally played BUT NO AUDIO at all. I also downloaded several supported codecs but still failed -- NO AUDIO.
    All DVD camcorders I've seen use AC3 for audio. As QT Kirk pointed out, this audio format is not supported natively by QT which is why you need the latest Perian or the A52 codec installed.
    The camcorder comes with 3" DVD+RW. Since my computer is iMac with CD/DVD drive slot on the side, I can't play the 3" DVD. The drive only play the regular 6" CD/DVD...
    I believe Rick was trying to find out if you can connect the camcorder via the USB cable (closing iMovie '08 if it opens) and access the movies at the file level directly from the camcorder. If you can see the files on the camcorder, then they can be copied to your hard drive and/or opened in MPEG Streamclip for viewing/conversion to iMovie '08 "edit" compatible file formats. The free MPEG Streamclip application, together with the $20 MPEG-2 Playback component which you have already purchased, will allow you to convert your video files to DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 video with DV, AIFF (Big/Little Endian), Uncompresses, AAC, etc. compatible audio. DO NOT CONVERT TO APPLE ANIMATION OR APPLE VIDEO COMPRESSION FORMATS as they will import and edit but not export properly from iMovie '08. DO NOT USE QT PRO (or any other QT application) TO CONVERT YOUR FILES as this work flow will not retain the original audio content. (I.e., your original QT Pro conversion attempt may have lost the original audio content and, if so, no added component will now allow you to hear the non-existent audio.)

  • Automatic Quicktime Pro import?

    I am using Quicktime Pro 7 on a macbookpro os 10.6.8. I found you can compile separate video clips into one file by doing a copy and paste pattern but it takes time to go through many clips. Is there an Automator script or any other automatic method of compiling many video files into one QT file?

    I find it quicker/easier to use the free MPEG Streamclip app. Simply give the files alpha-numeric names representing the order in which you want the files merged and then simultaneously "drag 'n drop" all files to the main work window. The files will automatically merge in their filename order and can then be saved using the "Save As..." File menu option which copies all audio and video data to a new MOV file container without recompressing the data (unless you need to flatten files containing mixed data formats for playback on mobile devices which do not like having data distributed across multiple tracks).

  • Recording audio in quicktime pro?

    Is ther a way to record audio streaming live content from the internet? Say a radio program that you dont want to miss. I have quicktime pro and I also have audio hijack. Also is ther a way to set quicktime up to record a future streamlined audio event. Thanks. computer novice here.

    Sorry but no. QuickTime can play streaming media but cannot capture it. Audio Hijack can of course record the output of QuickTime Player, so just play the stream with QuickTime Player and capture the stream with Audio Hijack.

  • CS6 After effects Pro Import AAF with R3D files

    It can't find the footage, because it appends an ".mov" to the footage name it searches for.
    Example: the file name ist "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D", but Pro Import searches for "A001_C001_0616GK_001.R3D.mov"
    How can i fix that. Because replaceing 100 footage files is an idiot work to do.

    UPDATE: I searched in the forum and throwing away the DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component seems to have been the solution for me! Running smotthly until now!
    Thanks!

  • No Sound, No Audio after QuickTime & Safari Update

    I am stumped. Ran repair permission prior to an install of the new quick time and Safari. Ran it after. Checked my very limited "sound" preferences, volume is up. And not evidently a hardware issue since I have two drives and the original one where I very seldom venture, the sound works fine if I change my start up disc and revisit the ancient world of 10.3.6.
    I may or may not have reset the PRAM (but with no audio, there are no chimes). My main disc is running 10.3.9 with all recent security updates. And sound disappeared after getting the new Safari and Quick Time updates.
    Obviously, Quick Time is the most likely culprit. But-- how do I uninstall it? If that is the answer? Or is there some other fix? I haven't checked the Tiger posts. Perhaps this isn't a 10.3.9 issue alone. Anyone know?
    VERY much obliged for help.

    A return to an earlier version of Quicktime did the trick.

  • No audio after Cineform avi import into Premiere Elements 7

    I cannot get any audio when I import AVCHD from a Canon HFS10 that has been converted by Cineform Neo Scene to AVI.  I've tried several combinations:
    Canon HDV30 HDV converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PE7 - Works fine
    Canon HDV30 HDV converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to Windows Media Player  - Works fine
    Canon HFS10 AVCHD   --> import to PE7 - Works (but very slow, just a dual-core computer), has audio
    Canon HFS10 AVCHD  converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to Windows Movie Maker - Works fine
    Canon HFS10 AVCHD  converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PE7 - No audio
    Canon HFS10 AVCHD  converted to Cineform Neo Scene AVI --> import to PP CS4 - No audio
    Anybody have any suggestions...?

    Steve,
    I agree with you. Back before complete compatibility with AVCHD by most NLE's, Neo Scene showed promise, but there were issues. Now, both PrE and PrPro have native support for the AVCHD material, so there are no compelling reasons to rely on Cineform for this.
    If one wants to convert from full HD AVCHD to SD, this is most effectively done in camera at Capture. There are several alternate workflows, and if necessary, or useful, I'll post links to Dan Isaacs' workflow instructions.

  • Customising import of DV tapes using Quicktime Pro

    Hi all,
    I am trying to import a lot of DV tapes onto my Mac (and some other analogue stuffe that I route through the camcorder so it ends up in DV even if it originated from VHS), the ultimate aim is to have the videos available within iTunes so I can stream them to my Apple TV 2 after some minimal editing (cutting out bad bits mainly).
    I have tried to import via iMovie, but it has the following drawbacks: Huge file sizes, spends ages creating thumbnails, and then is really really slow to encode into H.264 compared to something like Handbrake.
    I am not *too* fussed about final image quality, I am more concerned with being able to complete the job without spending too much time.  What I want to do is encode into H.264 during the import, and then quickly be able to cut out what I don't want, and save into iTunes.  Quicktime Pro is the closest I have found, but it seems to have the following limitations:  Very limited selection of encoders and sizes without any ability to customise means I can't choose an appropriate quality level - the best is only 640x480, with no info on bitrates etc.  This should be fine for my analogue sources, but potentially no good for some stuff in genuine DV format.  Also, there seems to be a limit on how long it will record for, which doesn't make a lot of sense as it's capping out on videos less than 200Mb in size leaving me with extra steps to combine the individual videos into a larger one (References movies are quick to make, but won't stream to the Apple TV 2)
    Is there a way to customise these settings to ammend the import settings and increase the maximise size, either unofficially or not?
    Many thanks for yout time.

    In the interest of ripping this stuff with the least complexity possible I was wanting to use QTP, but it seems that using the "best" preset with a widescreen DV input provides a file that is only 640x360 encoded at 96kbps, which is a lot smaller than the input native and isn't really good enough for me sadly.
    The stated data rate looks more like an audio data rate that a video or video + audio data rate. Since the preset must be compatible with both NTSC and PAL "standards," it appears Apple programmers lower, more universal settings for greater device compatibility.
    I can select Device Native, but that would get me back into massive DV files again.  Not sure if this would be better than using the Vidi Firewire Capture would be better or not than this setting?
    The basic rule of thumb here is "you can never have enough hard drive space." I currently have 25 TBs in external hard drive space connected to my main iMac for recreational/non-professional use. And, while you may consider DV data rates/files to be massive, HDV data rates/files would quadruple yours and some Apple Animation data rates/files could easily quadruple the HDV data rates/files. As to the question of using Vidi, if you are going to capture your files as DV content and don't want to use iMovie or other video editor application, then Vidi would be the utility to use.
    Either way, at a couple of hours long the timeline within QTP becomes too "small" to be able to select bits to cut with any accuracy as it is not zoomable unlike iMovie, but putting them in iMovie would then start with the old thumbnailing again...
    The QT 7 Pro Player "time line" is zoomable to some degree. This "zoom" capability is related to the size of the player. If you expand the size of the player to fill your screen as much as possible, you can "scrub" the playhead in smaller relative increments. Basically you should start your edits by expanding the player as large as your display allows and scrub the playhead to the rough area of your edit and then refine the position of the playhead using the fast play and jog controls in the A/V pallet and finally use the left/right arrow keys to select the exact frame you wish to edit. With some practice, you should find this work flow to be fairly quick if/when you know what and how you wish to edit the file.
    As an example, a 1 hour 58 minute 23 second and 15 frame 640x360 file displayed at its default size can scrub the playhead in approximately 15 second increments. If I expand the player to its maximum dimensions on my monitor, the "scrub" increment is reduced to about 4 second with fast play and/or jog able to refine the playhead location to within a few frames of where I want to be.
    What I was doing to remove the bits I don't want in iMovie was to create a project, include the bits I want, then delete the events using the option to only remove unused elements.  This is a yet further step which takes a long time, but then gives me chunks of files I can queue in handbrake and then stitch back together using QTP.
    Most strategies fall into either a "subtractive" or and "additive" work flow. I normally make "rough cuts" in the first pass and place the results in an folder/bin for further refining later. Once I have everything sorted and trimmed, I then merge/join the DV clips to create a single file which is then converted all at once to the target compression format or, in frequent instance, to several different compression formats or variations dependent on target use—burning to DVD, burning to BD, TV viewing, posting to the internet, etc.
    I just tried a native capture with QTP, and it gives me the following video settings:
    DV, 720 x 576 (1024 x 576), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 4.0 (L R _ _), 32.000 kHz
    1024 x 576 pixels (Actual)
    If I encode this with Handbrake using the Apple Universal I get:
    H.264, 720 x 592, Millions
    AAC, 2 channels, 32000 Hz

    I would normally encode the file using the source file standard. In my case that would the NTSC 720x480 (853X480) equivalent of your PAL 720x576 (1024x576) anamorphic DV import. Would also prefer the AAC audio track be encoded using a 48,0 KHz sampling rate at 160 Kbps since my DV audio is set for 16-bit/48.0 KHz. (I also include an DD5.1 passthrough at 448 or 640 Kbps if available.) You can create and save your own custom resets which is what I use for HandBrake conversions specifically targeting the TV2 device and which include additional analysis/motion prediction settings.
    So it looks like getting QTP to encode into H.264 just won't do it well enough, even though it should be able to go better without extending beyond the limits of the source
    If you are referring to the conversion of DV source files to H.264, then use the "Movie to MPEG-4" or "Movie to Quicktime" export option to enter your own custom target settings. However, nether of these export potions offer the same ease for setting up custom anamorphic encodes for custom dimensions as HandBrake does. (I personally prefer using HandBrake here.)
    I think the size limit was CPU bound with it not keeping up with the input fast enough to real-time encode and thus stopping.  It's not done it since.
    That may well be the case. My old G5 processed files in handBrake at 4 to 6 time "real time." My MacBook Pro converts files in roughly "real time" using my custom HandBrake presets. On my new iMac the default TV2 HandBrake preset process at about 180 fps and at 70-90 fps using an even higher quality custom preset I just added. As you can see, the different CPUs involved cam make quite a difference in conversion speed.

  • Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

    I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
    These are the settings I'm using so far:
    Format: Linear PCM
    Channels: Stereo (L R)
    Rate: 48 kHz
    Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
    Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
    Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
    Here are the other options in Quicktime:
    Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
    Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
    Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
    Advanced Settings:
    Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
    Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
    The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

    You can't create something that is not in the file.
    Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
    larger and can't improve the audio.
    Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
    change it to 48 after import?
    I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
    I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
    The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
    Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.3 HD Import Error

    Hello, at my job we're having an issue importing HD Video from a JVC HD Cam onto the Mac via Quicktime Pro 7.3 It will capture audio and video fine in 720p 60 fps but after 14 seconds it quits the recording altogether. What is this and how do we solve it?

    You will not lose your key. You only need to re-purchase when upgrading. You are merely updating which is FREE!
    On the computer w/no sound, try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.

    Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
    Quit out of the GarageBand app.
