No audio when importing mp4 files into iTunes.

Since recently, whenever I import an MP4 of M4V file into iTunes, it either deletes the audio, or the video becomes shocky.
When I play the same files in VLC they do work. That is great and all, but since I use Apple TV I need them to work in iTunes.
I've tried to delete and re-import the files. I've also tried to download different versions of the same files, which also didn't work.
To me it seems like the problem lies within iTunes.. but I'm not really a computer wiz.
Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Does your friend have EXACTLY the same computer software and hardware?

Problem importing MP4 files into iTunes

I'm tearing my hair out here! I've used a DVD ripper to convert a track from a DVD into an (iPod friendly) MP4 format. I then dragged & dropped the MP4 "chapter" into iTunes Library, where it appeared in Movies, but I had to click on Advanced>Convert Selection for iPod. It took iTunes about 1 hour to convert the track & then it played on iPod. (Was SO CHUFFED I'd got it to work!) Flushed with success, I tried doing several tracks at once but when I tried to get iTunes to convert again, I got a message saying the file is already in the correct format. And although file is showing in Library>Movies, it doesnt register in my iPod>Movies and of course it won't play. Please help.

Sorry, I don't know what is specifically wrong with your setup but maybe these links will help...

No video, only audio when importing .avi file into CS2

I recorded 920p footage on a GoPro Hero 3 at 50fps. GoPro recordes MP4 files, I wanted to edit the footage in PP CS2 as it gives me more control than GoPro studio.
I used GoPro Studio to convert the MP4 files into avi files and amended the white balance and saturation etc, as I recorded using Pro Tune which gives a flatter colour profile.
The avi files run well in Windows Media Player (although don't seem to have the clarity of video's on the GoPro website!)
I have then imported the avi files into CS2 to put together the edit and I can only hear the audio and can't see the video in the source stream or the program stream.
I assume I have a setting wrong in CS2, could any one advise what I need to change to get the problem rectified?
I was planning on exporting the finished problem at 720p if makes a differance

Also, CS2 has a different forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premierepro_previous

Can't import mp4 file into iTunes

I have had a lot of success converting my DVDs to mp4s and storing them on external hard drives to play through AppleTV (I love AppleTV!). However I have a couple of files that will not load into iTunes. I get no error message but when I try to open with Quicktime I get an error message saying the file is not a movie file. The files I am having problems with were recorded from cable tv and written to DVD. Please help...

HOCKEY PUCK! Looks like this isn't a solution anyway. Tried it on a 250 MB file with 7 chapter markers and got some very random results.
1) Clipped the previously embeded graphic from the iTunes file and applied the same workflow. This time it did not save the chapter track (just like it does in MPEG Streamclip).
2) A bit confused, I deleted the newly created file and tried again only without clipping the graphic first. This time when I attempted to open the newly created file there was not video track whatsoever.
3) Now I'm getting really confused. So I delete the new "audio" file and load the source file one more time. This time, instead of relying on the the "current default" options (i.e., the ones last used), I open the options window and find the "Pass through" has reset to "None." So I attempt to change it back to "Pass through" and guess what... Now that option is "grayed out" just as you say (and as I believe it used to be in QT v7.1.3).
4) Totally flabbergasted, I close the player and load a secondary file (paired TV episode to the first file) and open the "Movie to MPEG-4" Export option. To my surprise, the audio and video "Pass through" settings are back again. Okay, so this time I decide to "tic" the chapter track to see if that will prevent it's loss. No joy!
Basically, I spend a few more wasted hours trying to figure out why I could not duplicate my original success. I even drag out other applications like SimpleMovieX and MPEG Streamclip which have "Save As..." options to "compatible" containers. Both delete the chapter track just as QT Pro is currently doing. Suffice it to say I'm growing angrier by the moment and finally decide to quit so I can update the latest results here. Sorry everyone... Really thought the latest QT upgrade had someting going for itself here. Looks like I merely "jumped the gun" instead.

Problems with importing mp4 files into iTunes.

Hi all,
Since a few days I am the proud owner of an iPad 2. When I was looking for a solution to sync my video files (no problems with my pictures nor with my music files), I saw that I had to convert them from .avi to .mp4.
Through this community I learned that there were several free and paid options. Such as handbrake, convertavitomp4.com, etc etc
In the end I have tried around 4, but when trying to get the files into my library of iTunes it fails. In the beginning I did not receive any error message. It just did not work. I tried through CTRL-O, drag and drop. Nothing seems to be working.
Does it have something to do with the fact that I have the newest iTunes (10.5) and the latest OS for the iPad?
Does anyone have The same experience or knows a solution?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Swen,
I am checking out flex player after your recommendation. However, I have since resolved my problem. I am running windows 7, 64 bit, and discovered that the problem was windows 7 security settings. All my itunes data was on a hard drive that I plugged into my new pc running windows 7. Despite allowing me to access the hard drive in the usual way, I discovered (after some help from someone more knowledgeable) that the problem was that all my itunes data was protected and I did not have "full control" rights in the security settings. Very odd, given that I have only one user account on the pc. And why it could not tell me what the problem was I don't know. But what I did was right click the drive and make sure my user account had "full control" rights and now I can drag and drop movies into itunes. This may not fix your issue but hope you resolve it soon.

Duplicate songs when imported music files into itunes

i imported a significant song selection (10,000 songs) on to i tunes, but there were heaps of duplicates. Any idea why this may be? And how i can stop it happening? Takes ages to delete duplicates.

*Takes ages to delete duplicates*
Have a look at Doug's AppleScripts there are a couple of scripts there to help manage duplicates. Search the page for "Corral iTunes Dupes" and "Corral All dupes" : Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it renames all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it re-names all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

(By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
29.95 fps = NTSC
25 fps = PAL.
BTW, this is actually the iMovie 5 forum, but no matter!

How to import Flac files into itunes

Hi there,
the title say it all. How can I import Flac files into Itunes?
I have a lot of them. I click onto add to library select the flac file, click on open and nothing happen.
Many thanks for your help.
regards

Hello CESNET the best bet is to try http://blowintopieces.com/fluke/ I myself don't use Flac files but to any audiophile it's important to hear sound at it's best. Also WAV or AIFF & ALAC you will need to use http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html to convert into ALAC.
P.S. their is also a simple FLAC player but can't remember it one more thing converting FLAC to WAV will not give you full TAGs. Best bet is to try just one file you've copied ether straight into iTunes or convert & see what's best for you.

I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source? It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes. You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them. Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in. They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

Importing mp4 files into Adobe Premiere Elements 4

Hi
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 4 here and am having problems when importing mp4 files. They jump and skip, Flicker Green every now and then and generally just flip out on me.
Does anyone know what's the problem here and whether there's any specific settings i need to tweak within APE to get it to work properly?
TIA

Ok thanks for the info guys
My original recommendation was to convert these but as mentioned wasn't the most popular option.
I've found some other threads on here in regards to a similar problem with Samsung cameras and APE 4. These also mention that the files need to be converted to a friendlier format before importing.
Thanks again

Trouble getting audio files when importing R3D files into CS5.5 Prem Pro

Importing R3D files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 works for Video but the audio doesn't convert properly.   There is an audio file included in the R3D file that PP can see but it just has a few spikes.
This same file played in REDcine-X plays the video/audio just fine.   Is there some audio setting in Premiere Pro that I should be setting?
Oddly enough if I use REDcine-X to output a RED Trim file and then import it into PP, the audio file is shown separately and is imported correctly.   This of course involves a file conversion step in the workflow and a step that we are hoping to avoid.

In order to import all kinds of r3d, we had better convert it to adobe more compaitble video format like dv, mpeg, avi
You may refer to the following step by step guide on how to convert .r3d movies at Convert R3D to ProRes, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MKV
The guide applies to:
Convert R3D to ProRes 4444, 422, 422 (HQ), 422 (LT), and 422 (Proxy) to fast import any version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
Convert R3D to MOV, MP4 to import R3D to iMovie for easy editing or to play R3D in QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV.
Convert R3D to AVI, WMV, MPG to edit R3D in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker or play R3D in Windows Media player, Xbox 360, Microsoft Surface.
Convert R3D to FLV, WebM, H.264, MP4 for upload R3D video files to YouTube
Convert R3D to DV, VOB, ASF, SWF, RM, 3GP, OGV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, WMA, AC3, AIFF, WMA and etc.

Importing .mp4 files into iMovie takes too long. Is there a quicker method?

Basically what the title asks. Would it be quicker for me to burn the mp4 onto a dvd and then rip it into iMovie? Currently, my import wait is 1784 minutes, and I really don't have this long to wait.
Help would be wonderful.

I'm not sure how many songs your importing, nor how much cache your Mac has...But In case this is your first time using Itunes M4p files in your Imovies, I'll give you this heads up....Imovie will let you import M4p files from Itunes into your movie and you can watch it and listen to the song fine. When you try to export it to IDVD and burn a movie, you might have problems. It will b*tch about "this computer is not authorized" for this song or something. Unless Imovie '08 fixes this, you have to burn the songs you want to use in your Imove to a CD, then import them back into Imovie. It will not let you burn a DVD from Imovie/IDVD with songs you paid for directly from your Itunes Library. Unless you're importing from a slow external hard drive and have low system memory on your Mac, I don't see why it should take so long to import songs from your Itunes library. If you already knew of the copyright problem Imovie has, my apologies.....And it is a problem. You shouldn't have to burn to disc and re-import songs from Itunes, that you already legitimately paid for with your Itunes account.

Importing WMV files into iTunes/Converting files

1) How can I import WMV files into my iTunes library? I know iTunes can't import protected files. So is there no way to put those videos on my iPod?
2) I tried to converting a Movie Clip by right clciking on it and pressing 'Convert Selection for iPod' when I imported it. But there's no audio. What's the problem?

Someone gave me this link and it works really well.
