No sound in .mov file

I get video, but no sound when I import a .mov file into CS3. The file will open and play correctly in quicktime player, and using quicktime's movie inspector the file information is H.264, 720x540, AAC, stereo, 48 kHz.
Any help appreciated.

Solved the problem by updating Quicktime from 7.55 to 7.6.

No sound on .mov files - why?

I've just got a MacPro running 10.4.11. If I download a .mov file it appears to play perfectly but with no sound. I have Quicktime 7.5 installed. What can I do about this?
Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, my bad - you already mentioned that it is H.264, about which more here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/faq.html
As you can see these should play in Quicktime 7.5.5 which you presumably have?
As for the missing audio:
Your audio settings may have been changed.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

No sound in .mov file in premiere elements 8

hi, i'm running premiere elements 8 in windows xp. i have several clips i wanted to edit that were given to me by a friend. they are in .mov file format. when i play them using quicktime they play perfectly, sound video everything. when i import them into elements though the video plays fine, but there is no sound. i even tried to edit one and then save it to my drive, but there was no sound in the file. what is the solution? thanks in advance for help.

.MOV files are not edited natively in PE and will present a number of issues, all or most of them will equate to heartache and depression.

Replace sound on .mov files?

Hi all,
I have some .mov-files from a portable video camera. I want to remove the sound and replace it with better mp3 recordings.
I've tried a lot of programs and formats etc.. but I always end up with bad picture quality.
Does anybody have a solution?
Many thanks,

Media Offline not offline and unable to re-import sound and movie files

I'm getting the dreaded red Media Offline screen and I've tried everything to fix it. To explain I am working on a movie with sound and various bunches of still images imported as numbered stills to be automatically converted to a movie for an exhibition. All well and I was bringing the finished project into Encore when something happened... I don't know, maybe it's because all of the files are on an external hard drive (LaCie) and I had to plug into the LaCie another harddrive with my CS4 install files on it to install Encore... Whatever it was it broke the connection and even though all the files are still there Premiere can't see them. And when I try and re-import them it gives me the message "File video dimensions (width/height) too large" even though it is the same project. And it gives me the same message even with the sound file. From googling I have tried: deleting .xmp files on the HD, repairing disk admissions, creating a new project in Premiere and re-importing the files to see if that worked - didn't work, still kept up the same "File video...too large" message and this is even after..re-updating the software (up-to-date but re-installed it anyway).
I can only think of two other things: it's the hard drive or to get CS6 somehow. Can anyone suggest something else to fix?

Well it can't be a codec problem either as I am mostly only using jpegs in numbered stills. anyone help?

No sound from .mov file in timeline

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me with this question! I want to use a .mov clip downloaded from the web in a project. I can play the audio and video just fine in the canvas, it has 2 audio tracks and all seems well. But when I drag the clip into the timeline, only the video appears in the timeline, no audio. The 2 audio tracks aren't transferred. I am stumped!
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well after my 3rd attempt at converting it with Streamclip I can now use that file just fine in the timeline, audio & video are both there. Don't really now what the difference could have been between that attempt and the first two as the settings were all the same and all conversions seemed to run completely. In any event, the problem now seems to be gone.
Thanks for all the help!

No sound on mpeg files

Have these MPEG files been "exported"?
Do you get any sound from .mov files? Do Web files (trailers) work?

No sound on my .mov files in interactive PDF

I'm experiencing a problem with a .mov file I've placed in indesign and then exsported as an interactive PDF, the movie shows, but it has no sound! what am I doing wrong?
When I play it normal, it works very fine!
Hope you can help me.

Could be an odd audio codec. Probably worth trying to convert mov to flv (Adobe Media Encoder), which will give you more controller options too.

Sound glitches in .MOV files.

I hope that this is the right place for this question - if it's not, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I've recently started having trouble playing .MOV files, both from my hard drive and web pages. The video works fine, but the sound pops and stutters. This occurs on a variety of players, namely the Quicktime player and Media Player Classic. Windows Media Player and Zoom Player refuse to play them at all.
In addition to this, Max Payne and Max Payne 2 have extremely garbled in-game speech, in much the same manner as .MOV files.
My sound card is a C-Media CM8338, with the latest drivers. Would getting a newer card help? How about reinstalling Windows? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi thanks! I didn't think they could fix such problems, should have thought of this myself! sorry *Feel embarrassed now* lol I've reported all of the relevant vids, just hope they help me! Thanks again!

No video but sound when playing .mov files

I'm trying to play .mov files on my computer and I get sound but no video. I've installed the latest verson of QT and no help.
The computer is an older MBP.
randalhillphoto

I should explain better. The mov files are exports from a 2-year-old MBP using FCP and exporting the files as self-contained movies. They were exported to use as an archive and saved on DVDs. Now I'm working on a 4 year-old MBP with FCE and trying to open the files with quicktime after downloading them from the DVD archives. I get the sound but no video. Please help me resolve this.

Exporting from .mpeg to .mov file loses sound

Okays so I know that there are numerous forum discussions out there on this topic but none helped me figure out my problem so I decided to create my own.
I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat. To get my mpeg file I:
1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg.
All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
This worked succussfully as well with the M2V file playing normally in quicktime with sound. I then tried to export the M2V file to a .mov file and got the same outcome...video but no sound.
Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong? Also I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?
Thank you.

1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
If the source DVD is not encrypted, then the VIDEO_TS folder or desired non-zero title VOB series can be copied directly to your hard drive without the use of MTR.
2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg... I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat.
If you goal is to create a small, web compatible file, you should convert to your final target compression format while in MPEG Streamclip. Most Apple applications use the H.264/AAC compression format for posting to web sites since it generally produces the smallest file for a given level of quality. For instance, selecting the "Export to MPEG-4..." option in MPEG Streamclip, pressing the "iTunes" button, and then selecting an appropriate size/aspect combination will automatically load user settings to create your final file. The 640x480 or 640x360 iTunes option will produce a file similar to the iTunes option in QT Pro (or iTunes) but will also retain your audio.
All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
QT Pro does not fully support multiplexed MPEG compression formats. An MPEG (MPEG2/MP2) compression format will play in the QT player with the QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed but cannot be edited or converted and retain the audio. To retain the audio, you must use a third-party, MPEG-based conversion application like MPEG Streamclip.
Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
This work flow creates two elementary stream files. Both the M2V (with MPEG-2 component installed) and the AIFF file are QT Pro compatible. However, they must always be stored together on your hard drive. Since the M2V video file "resources" the AIFF audio in a separate file, if the files are separated, this reference will be orphaned and, as you have seen, you again end up losing your audio.
I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?... Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong?
Already covered. (See above.)
If I export to any format (QuickTime movie, AVI, Windows Media, MPEG-4), all of the audio options are greyed out. Some say explicitly that there is no audio in the source movie. If I go ahead, I get a file with no audio.
The "Save" and "Save As..." options do not convert the compression format. They merely take the data (which you already said plays correctly) and places it in an MOV file container where it continues to play correctly. On the other hand, when you attempt to convert the file to other compression formats (i.e., change the data within the container), then you lose the audio. As indicated above, multiplexed formats like MPEG-2 video with MPEG-1 layer 2 audio are playback only compatible with the QT structure. If you wish to convert the data to a different format and retain the audio, use a third-party, MPEG-based application.
QuickTime is obviously able to decode the .m1a audio since it can play it. Why does it seem to not be aware the audio is there if I try to export it?
Because QT is based on a multi-track engine that synchronizes audio and video frames with reference to external clocking. On the other hand, multiplexed content divides the audio and video into interspersed blocks of data synchronized spatially within a single data stream. QT could theoretically create two separate streams of data but has no way of synchronizing any single frame of audio with its video frame counterpart. The MPEG Streamclip engine can do this but requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component to then bridge the gap between spatial and temporal based playback engines. Without this temporal relationship the QT player would probably return the infamous "Not a movie" message.

JMF does not play sound for .avi file and no video for .mov file

Hi,
I am trying to use JMStudio to transmit media files from one computer to another.
However, when I try to transmit .mov file it only plays audio no video is displayed on other computer.
And when I transmit .avi file I can see the Video on other machine but it does not
play any sound.
I tried using capture devices like - webcam and mic and they work perfectly fine.
Can anyone please tell me the solution for this.
Thank you in advance.

I discovered the same problem too..
I think it is a general Format problem.
When i analyzed the tracks in my .avi and .mov files before rtp streaming with jmf, I found each media containing just 1 track..
This track was a video track, no audio at all.
Other formats I tried, like .mpg, revealed both audio and video tracks, and performed perfectly.
I'm still on more research.. will get the solution to you if u don't find one before I'm done..
