No sound after "Converting home movie to play on AppleTv

I take short movie clips with my digital camera. After getting them into iTunes and converting them to play on the ATV, the sound is gone? What am I missing? The sound is fine playing in iTunes prior to the conversion. A search on this forum shows this question asked a couple times with no resolution...

I just tested it. I used mpeg streamclip to convert an mpg movie to mp4 format. It does take a little bit of time to do but you can batch the bunch and then eat lunch or something. I dragged the mp4 movie into itunes movie folder and it not only put it there but also immediately began syncing it to my apple tv. I have also been able to move .mov files into itunes...have not yet loaded any into apple tv but I think itunes can convert it, as can quicktime.
Another thing...you will find the same problem with mpg files and imovie 8 or final cut express. The little movies need to be converted to .mov or some other format to be imported. I just made a folder for the mpgs and use batch for all of them then can import into iphoto or whatever the resulting files (usually .mov is what I use but I think mp4 is better for apple tv?

Converting Home Movies to IPOD

Why is it that I can upload a home movie from my digital camera to my computer with sound and get it just that way into the Library but when I convert it into the IPOD there is no sound? The orginal file with the sound in the library reads MPG movie file (Quicktime, although plays in media player) and when it converts reads movie file. It is enfuriating!

Thanks Brian, I hadn't realized the only way to get them to play correctly was to upgrade & buy Quicktime Pro. This also helps with MySpace and posting home movies on there as well. So thanks again for the information.

Best way to convert home movie VHS tapes so they can be edited in iMovie HD

Please help! I'm sorry this question is going to be long, but I'm a novice at this.
My goal is to get my VHS home movies (I have about 30 of them) into iMovie so I can do two things.
First I want to burn DVD's so I'll have a copy of the VHS tapes before they go bad.
Secondly, I want to be able to extract small clips from all of the tapes and combine them in a new iMovie project.
Here's what I've done so far:
I purchased a Canopus ADVC110 and got someof my VHS tapes converted digitally but the file sizes were HUGE and eating up my hard drive space. I was down to 6 GB of space left on my hard drive and almost crashed my Mac.
I deleted all these huge files and got my Mac back up to having 111 gigs of space left. Whew!
This week I purchased a Pinnacle converter and started all over. I took a VHS tape, and it was compressed into a nice small Mpeg-4 file and went to iTunes.
Then I tried to drag and drop it from itunes to imovie. That didn't work. I then dragged the movie to my desktop and then dragged it to imovie..... looks like this was going to take a long time to get into imovie. I'm thinking this is too many steps.
Now I am importing the file into iMovie by importing directly from itunes. The file size is 1.04 GB and it is 1 hour and 54 minutes long. It is taking a loooong time to import this movie....like 100 minutes.
I am afraid I am doing this the hard way.
Plus, after reading all the discussion boards and all the problems people are having... I don't even know if I'll be able to successfully edit this movie once it's imported. Plus, after I've edited it (if I can) will I be able to transfer the clips to another iMovie project?
I'm happy with the file size that the Pinnacle converter is giving me. I'm happy with the way the movie appears in itunes.
Because I have **so many VHS tapes** to convert, I'm asking you all if there is an easier way for me to complete this task!
Thanks in advance for any advise. Keep in mind that I'm not tech-sophisticated..... just a middle aged Grandma trying to preserve memories of my family!

_Share" the highlight as suggested_
Thanks Lennart..... I'm not sure I know what you meant by the above.
Do you mean that I share the little clips I want to use in the 'best of project'?
I read the MacWorld article.... it's great thanks!
I want to keep all these converted movies on my hard drive because down the road I want to extract other clips from them so I can make a 'best of' movie for my other family members. I may want to do that next year.... or whatever..... so I want to have the imovies available for me when that time comes.
In order to do this am I going to have to buy a lot..... and I mean ALOT of extra hard drive space? That darn Canopus was really making files for me that were like 60-80GB's per one half hour movie!!
Hey, I really appreciate all the time you are spending with me on this topic. Making these imovie memories are so very important to me.

Converting home movies to apple tv format

One more question, please.
I converted my 1280 x 720 home movies to Apple TV format in iTunes and they were "downrezzed" to 960 x 540.
Why? And can I avoid this somehow?

I wouldn't worry about it. many people are concerned about the resolution without giving a thought to datarate. Your tv is limited to the bitrate it can play, at a fixed bitrate a 1280 x 720 movie will have less info per pixel (macroblock-technically) than a 960 x 540 so whilst there are more pixels in 1280 x 720 those in the 960 x 540 movie are higher quality and there is little difference, indeed my tests generally show 960 x 540 to be slightly better.
You could reduce the frame rate of 1280 x 720 to allow it to play on the tv, but this will likely introduce jittery motion.

No sound after convert iphone version

hello , i use itunes convert MTV or movie to iphone version , after convert MPEG-4 video file ...that file no sound , before convert have sound. may i know how to settle? thanks

It is very possible that the original file is what is called a "muxed" file, which is the audio and video on the same track. iPhones and iPods don't like that kind of file, so when they are converted, they end up with video only. There are some 3rd party apps that can take care of that, but we can't talk about going around digital rights here. Try Google.

No sound after converting to ipod format with quicktime

quicktime plays the unconverted file with sound just fine. after converting the video is fine but no sound. any help?

QT will not export sound from mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 files. Check you video before converting to see what the format really is. Open the video in the Player and use MovieInfo in the Window menu to check the format.
This freeware may help if they are mpeg files:

ATV3 - I need to enable dolby digital for optical surround sound (netflix and home movies), but when I do this it stops audio coming through TV speakers

I have a cinema sound receiver connected to Apple TV via optical cable. When I have dolby digital set to Auto it doesn't come through as dolby digital when watching movies on netflix and iTunes (home movies).
If I set Dolby Digital to ON it works as expected, but the sound stops working through normal TV speakers (via HDMI). This is the same for netflix and home movies.
I tried 16 bit setting, but it made no difference.
Any advice on how I can get this working - meaning Dolby Digital always on for when I turn my surround sound on and sound through speakers for normal operation?
Obviously I can change the setting when needed, its just a pain.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
here is the friendly and signed driver installation method to enable Dolby Digital Plus in your Encore internal speakers only. This is not an official driver, there is no control panel for Dolby Digital Plus or various sound effects, but tested and has much better and richer surround sound quality as before with factory driver. I guess, this driver tweak can work with any Bay Trail tablet also.
How can you upgrade Encore sound drivers:
1. Download signed driver package and extract.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Upgrade your Sound, Video and game controllers
- Intel SST Audio Device
- Realtek I2S Audio Codec
one by one with "Have a disk" method.
4. Double click enabledolby.reg file and add to your registry.
5. Restart, and enjoy better sound quality.
Thanks.
UPDATE: Official Toshiba Dolby Digital leaked, official driver attached: ToshibaDolby.zip

Hello Susan,
in order to be recognized by iMovie you have to convert your footage into DV format.

No sound after converting .mov to .wmv using QT Pro...

Any idea why this might happen? sound works fine in the mov file, but when I "Export" it as a .wmv -- video looks great, but no sound.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to WMP formats without some third party software help. Try their forums:

After converting my movie into mpeg 4 format..

The movie works perfectly fine on my i tunes, but when i drag it into my i-pod it doesent do anything..It doesent import or anything(I followed the manual) any suggestions on whats wrong?

All you need to do is find the video on your computer and drag it into the iTunes window. Then, right-click it (in iTunes) and in the menu that pops up, choose the option "Convert Selection For iPod". It will process for a while, depending on how long the video is, and then when it is done you can drag it across to your iPod.
I don't know why people mess around with all these third-party converters.

Convert my movie to play on a nano

I was wondering what compression you need to export a movie so it can play on the nano? I'm using Final Cut 4.0.
Thanks!

Might want to check the Creating Podcasts forum.
FCP4 was built long before there were video-capable nanos. You may require additional (possibly free or cheap) software or upgrades to Quicktime Pro on your system to get the required codecs and functions.

No sound after exporting to .mov

When I export to a .mov using QT the sound from my project is gone. I tried to exporting to movie and get sound on a .m4v file but would prefer a .mov Any suggestions?

I think the iPhone can only record in mono..... I haven't found a way to capture stereo yet.

Converting Home Movies

OK all, I have some video files (not DVD) on my PC. They range from avi, to mpeg to various other file types. Apart from VideoLan's VLC, what would you recommend I use to convert them to H264(MKV) or MP4?
I also tried Handbrake, but I realised that that is only for DVD structed movies.
Thanks!
