No audio on video files

I have downloaded a few movie files (mpg, mpeg) and put them on itunes. They had audio but were in the wrong format, so i formatted them to the ipod. They were successfully converted but for some reason there is no audio on these files, whether they're on my ipod or on itunes (the original formats had audio on itunes). If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, i would love to hear them. Thanks.

If the videos you put on your ipod were not downloaded from the itunes store. They are more than likely in an mpeg-1muxed or mpeg-2 muxed format. This format is used to conserve space. It embeds the audio inside the video track and whjen you use itunes to convert to ipod format, quicktime does not see the audio track.
Here is a link to a knowledge base article on the apple website about this format.

You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.

  • OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?

    I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
    now have a
    MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
    frequently
    encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
    Apple doesn't
    know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
    unusable
    videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
    files with
    .mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
    So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
    able to play
    every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
    files, and
    I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
    after I
    installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
    Thanks.

  • How to combine discrete audio and video files?

    I am working on a project which requires me to merge a video file with a PCM audio file from another source.
    I just bought Compressor 4.1.1, expecting to be able to do exactly this.
    The only "multiple input - single output" option I can see is creating a surround sound group, adding my audio as left and right channels, and then attaching the video.
    This does not work. Pressing "add" at the end of the process does not result in a new job.
    Help please!
    G.

    QT7 Pro is able to do this. Cost is $30.
    In QT7 Pro, open up the audio and video files to be matched.
    Select all the audio and then select copy
    In the video window, put the playback head where you want the audio to start then select add to movie.
    Verify the playback is as desired, then save the movie. Done.
    Takes longer to describe the process than to do it.

  • Embedded audio and video files with Acrobat x Pro

    Can an audio or video file be embedded in a document with Acrobat x Pro & opened with Adobe Reader xi?

    You can place video or sound files onto the pages of a PDF file using the Multimedia button on the Tools Pane > Content Panel. The result is called a Rich Media Annotation, and will play back on the desktop versions of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
    The files have to be compatible with Flash Player, so videos need to be in H.264, FLV or F4V, and audio files in MP3.

  • Is it possible to play audio and video files(urls) directly in webView ?

    Hello Everybody,
    I have implemented one article page in webView. The content of the that page is html file. There are some links for audio and video files. Is it possible to play that links directly in that webView by clicking them?
    Or is there any other way to play this files?
    Any kind of information on this topic is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pandit Pakhurde

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.

  • How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

    I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
    Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

  • Windows audio and video files

    I have received a .wmv video file as an email attachment. When I open it, it is the code which comes up. So far I have been unable to play it in either itunes or Quicktime. The mac Help informs me that the Imac can handle all windows generated audio and video files. What do I need to do to play the file?

    What you need is the Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime:

    Click the link for the free WMV Player, download, install it, and you should be fine.

    If all you want is to create a backup of some file you can do:public class Foo
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Foo f = new Foo();
            f.createBackup("something.xls");
        public void createBackup(String inFile) {
            FileInputStream in = null;
            FileOutputStream out = null;
            try {
                in = new FileInputStream(inFile);
                out = new FileOutputStream(inFile + ".bak");
                int read;
                while ((read = in.read()) > -1) {
                    out.write(read);
                out.flush();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } finally {
                if (in != null) {
                    try {
                        in.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                if (out != null) {

  • No audio or video files play after screensaver

    After screensaver is on for some time, when returning to desktop, no audio or video files work, for web videos there is no audio, only video and for local files, there is no playback this is the same with any application (iTunes, quicktime, Mplayer, etc.). This started after Lion installation, and a restart is the only thing that works, but if the screensaver kicks in, the issue comes back everytime.

    This worked for me...Hold Ctrl, Shift, Del CHECK BOXES, cookies, cache and site preferences and then "CLEAR NOW"

  • Separate audio from video - I want BOTH an audio and video file

    Hi,
    I would like to separate audio from video - I want BOTH an audio and video file.
    I don't think this can be done without additional software, but if it can, pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Brandon

    You need Quicktime 7.6 Pro. Control+J to bring up the property window. In the property window is an extract button. Click on either the video or audio and click to the extract button.
    You'll find Quicktime 7 in your Utilities folder. If Quicktime 7 isn't install in the Utilities folder you need to install it from you OS installation disk, in the optional installations folder.
    If you don't have Quicktime Pro you need to buy it from the Apple store.

  • Extracting audio from video file to edit...

    i know in imovie it's easy you just select the video then go up top and select the extract audio tab...
    but how can you extract the audio from a video file in final cut so are able to edit the audio and video files separately from one another WITHIN final cut??

    no output volume? ... you need to check your setting under the View menu > Audio Playback ... where are you sending the audio? maybe you're routing it to follow the video out through firewire to your DV device, in which case you need to turn up the speakers on your DV monitoring equipment
    ...or is this a muxed MPEG file? if so you need to demux it before bringing it into FCP, or better still, convert it to a more appropriate edit codec (you can use the excellent and free MPEG Streamclip application to do this)

  • How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

    I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.
    G4 eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
    The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
    Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

  • How streaming an audio or video files from google drive using google api objective-c client?

I have listed all google drive files in a table view. I am using google api objective-c client. So please help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I'm giving a try at your application and so far, it is great!
    I understand that you're working on a way to help moving back files to google drive. Actually, I can copy / paste, but it always renames the files, so I end up with both a "copy of" and my original file.
    could you save and overwite the original file when it already exists ? (perhaps an option in the settings) ?
    Thanks!
