No sound in Quicktime 7.5

Hi all, i've just updated my QuickTime to 7.5 through Software Update, i was already using QuickTime to watch movies, now the image still works but there's no sound in some .avi movies that used to have it (sound still present in others)?? the wmv movies that open with QT through WMV Player sounds fine..?

  • No sound with quicktime MPEG 2 program

    I bought yesterday the Mpeg2 option. The problem is that the mpg files have no sound sound when i play them. Theses files come from windows recorded with a sony HD camera. If i use the program Mplayer ( freeware ) everything is ok. Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2

    Can you tell me what can i do to have sound with quicktime mpeg2
    What Klaus1 is attempting to point out is that the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component is a video only component. As such, the audio is compatible only if the audio format in the multiplexed file is already QT compatible with your system configuration. An MPEG file normally consists of MPEG-2 video (handled by the component you purchased) which is multiplexed with MPEG-1 layer audio (MP1, MP2, or MP3), AC3, or PCM audio. If all you want to do is make your file playable with audio in the QT X and/or QT 7 media player, then the easiest approach is to simply convert the non-playing audio compression format to one that is supported. In most cases that would be an MPEG file type containing MPEG-2 video (from the source file) re-multiplexed with MPEG-1, Layer 2 (MP2) audio. This is a very common combination compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.
    Since you already have the Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed, all you really need is the free MPEG Streamclip application. Simply open the file in MPEG Streamclip, select the "Convert to MPEG with MP2 audio..." option, and provide a new name for your target file. The Streamclip application will then de-mux the file, convert the audio (probably AC3) to MP2 audio, re-mux the MP2 audio with the original MPEG-2 video and copy it to the newly named MPEG file container. Since the video is not re-compressed by this action, the work flow is reasonably fast. Further, if you have a lot of files to convert, you can even set up a batch list of files to be converted. MPEG Streamclips is a very handy application and highly recommended if you plan to do much trimming/limited editing of MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 content on a Mac.

  • No sound from Quicktime 7

    Trying to watch .avi, shows perfectly - but no sound. i have tried going into applications/utilities/audio setup etc...but still doesn't work.
    Can anyone help this novice mac user?

    First, identify what type of audio encoding is used then look for a component to support it in QuickTime or use an alternative player.
    To identify the file*, video and audio** format of a movie or sound file:
    QuickTime Player:
    Open the file
    Window menu > Show movie info
    Look in the Format: field
    **Note that recently someone posted in the forum that QuickTime Player failed to display any audio information for a file which did play with audio (A52) in VLC.
    MPlayer OSX:
    Show the playlist window if it isn't already visible.
    Drag the movie file into the playlist window.
    Select the movie in the list
    Click the "i" button for info
    VLC:
    Open the movie in VLC
    Window menu > Info
    Click the black triangles so that they point down
    *Note that VLC does not display the file format, only the format of the content (audio and video) within the file. A file ending in .divx for instance, is probably in actuality an avi file but VLC doesn't show that information - MPlayer will and QuickTime Player will - if - QuickTime Player will open the file to begin with.
    QuickTime components, newer info is further down...

  • No sound in QuickTime exported videos

    Not sure if this should be posted in iTunes, but being as I used Quicktime to export as .mp4 and .m4v, it seems pertinent to post here.
    So I have a movie that is .mpg. I opened it in QuickTime and exported it as .m4v and then opened it in iTunes. There is no sound from the .m4v when played in iTunes, and no sound when played in QuickTime.
    I tried exporting as .mp4 and the same problem occurs.
    The original has sound in Quicktime and iTunes, but is about 93 MB (so I don't want to add it to an iPod anytime soon at that size).
    Can anyone help?

    Since your files are MPEG-2 format you'll need the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple) and MPEG Streamclip (free).
    Convert your files to DV Stream. This will help preserve quality.
    Open the new .dv file with QuickTime Pro and export. Version 7.0.3 has a new "iPod" preset to use but you can use your own custom settings if you wish.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingvideo.html
    I don't own an iPod so I doubt I'll ever use the feature. It appears that there are many supported file extensions that can be used for videos on an iPod.

  • No sound in Quicktime Movies

    Whether I watch a movie within IE or within ITunes I no longer get sound from quicktime. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. My sound card is working as it works with other video players.
    Any ideas where the disconnect is? I've verified the more obvious, ie volume is up in the quicktime player, sounds works on the pc etc.
    Thanks

    I fond this problem too. Especially with mpeg 4 vids. try this fix i found. I think its working.

  • Can't get sound in QuickTime - please help

    Hi
    I purchased the Quicktime pro and downloaded codecs from perian first - I tried playing an .avi file movie and got no sound. Then I downloaded codecs from DivX player site - and still no sound - video is fine.
    I have sound using other formats and also when watching trailers on the internet
    Thank You

    You might try Perian plugin for QuickTime. I actually haven't come across anything since I've installed it to really try it out but it seems to be getting very good reviews everywhere I've seen it mentioned.
    Obviously you're not going to be able to get Quicktime to play everything just like you can't get VLC or Windows Media Player or Real..... but you just kind of have to keep finding the proper plugins for all the various media out there.

  • No sound with quicktime plug in on web pages

    There's no sound when I play videos on web pages encoded with quicktime, however Flash videos, as on YouTube for example, do work. This seems to have happened recently, but I cannot pinpoint what caused it.
    One solution I found and have tried, is setting the audio format in the Audio MIDI Set up, but it was already the recommended 44100 Hz.
    Any ideas gratefully received.

    Please provide a sample link/URL of the problematic web pages.
    If you have Garage Band installed, open same & then quit out of the app.
    If you have not already done so, try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.

  • No sound with QuickTime

    Lately I’ve formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows XP.
    PROBLEM: Quicktime doesn’t seem to work properly anymore. The image is just right, but no sound can be heard at all. If I move the playback cursor, QuickTime player freeze and a sound loop endlessly until the program crash.
    I don’t know what the cause is… I’ve reinstalled QuickTime tons of time but in vain. Windows XP updates don’t solve the problem either.
    QuickTime is my favorite player; I would really like to find a solution.
    Thank you!

    You still there? I can't find a control panel for QuickTime. I have Windows Media Player and if I open the file with that I get sound. Is that a problem or a soluton for QuickTime? Thanks.

  • No sound with Quicktime 7

    I have no sound when I play a .avi movie with Quicktime 7.6, I get the message that I require another component. However when directed to the website with components I DONT KNOW which component to download to get sound. Can someone please assist me with this.
    thank you

    Perian is third party software so you can't expect Apple to refer you to something it can't even be sure will exist (an in some cases didn't exist) when they write their error message in the program. It also could have been another third-party software issue. I think all Quicktime knows is that something is missing, but it can't tell you exactly what. Not that many of us find Apple's error messages all that informative at times, especially the numerical ones. At least this one was in English.

  • No Sound in QuickTime when Slideshow Exported from iPhoto

    I'm currently using iPhoto 2.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.1.3. When I export a slideshow from iPhoto to QuickTime, a '.mov' file is created. When I play it, I can view the slideshow but there's no sound. Does anyone know why?
    Here's how I export a slideshow...
    1) Create an album
    2) Add pictures to the album
    3) With the album selected, click 'Slideshow'
    4) Check/select 'Music'
    5) Select 'iTunes Library'
    6) Select a song
    7) Click 'Save Settings'
    8) With the album selected...
    File > Export > QuickTime > check/select 'Add currently selected music to movie' > Export
    By the way, the music in my iTunes library has been Imported from CD's I purchased and is in the format .m4a. Also, the music plays when I view the slideshow within iPhoto.
    Thanks!

    Robin,
    you have to find a way to "mend" the 4 songs together in iTunes, which I think can be done when you are importing from a CD. Essentially all 4 songs are one song.
    Another way to do this, and that is what I do all the time, I export many slideshows.
    This envolve the use of QT pro. And you have to cut an paste.
    For simplicity, say you have 240 pics and you want to put 4 songs of 1 minute each. It would be 60 pics per minute (assume that the disolve, does not play a role in time displayed). Assume you put 1 sec per slide.
    1-find the ending point of the song on the QTslide show.
    2- move the right cursor (small triangles usually sitting below the time bar) to the end of the song
    3-Notice which picture the song ended up on.
    4- Command+N and Command+V will paste the 1st song along with the 60 or so pics, (depending on display time per slide)
    Now go back to iPhoto, and select picture 61 to 130 (instead of 120- because the song could be longer that it take to display 60 or 62 pics.
    Select a new song #2, save settings bla bla bla
    Then export phots 60-120 with song #2.
    1-Open this QT file #2, and move the right "triangle" to the far right.
    2-Command +C (copy)
    Go back to the "previously pasted slideshow #1" and position the cursor at the end of the show- to the far right
    3-Command+V paste, the 2nd portion of the slide show #2 at the end of Slide #1.
    Repeat the process untill you are done.
    When done, save the file as a "self contained" file. That is very important.
    Sure enough you end up with a disolve to black, and fade in between each song, but that is the compromise, and it is not too bad to watch after all.
    It may seem complicated, but once you do it once or twice, you will do it with your eyes closed!
    I think there is also another way to do this, which would envolve exporting all the pics to QT in one shot, then cut and pasting the separate songs in the QT file using a similar method I described above. I tried in the past but was not successfull. I'm not too well verse with the Editing in QT.

  • .mkv file does not have sound in Quicktime

    I downloaded Perian and a Flac decoder component and I can't get any sound from an HD video I downloaded. Quicktime says I need additional software to play this file. DivX says i need a direct show decoder to play the file. I cannot seem to find anything that works in either Quicktime or in DivX. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
    It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
    http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
    which may help.
    But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
    2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
    Or this link may be helpful:
    http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
    Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
    "There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."

    Maybe worth a try?

  • Problems with Sound in Quicktime Pro

    Im having problems with my Quicktime Pro. Basically whenever i open up a movie file using Quicktime (.mov, .avi, .mpg, etc) the video will play but the audio jumps and sounds like B B B B B, K K K K, D D D D.
    It does this even if i open a Quicktime Movie (.avi or .mov) in another player because its still using the Quicktime codec.
    Ive asked for help on the Quicktime support page because i am a paying customer but they have not replied.
    It is a big problem for me due to my Pro Tools Audio Post work, which i cannot do at the moment bacause i cant even import a movie file because Pro Tools uses the Quicktime codec to import movies. Even software with videos that are in Quicktime format will not work.
    If anyone can make any suggestions on how i might overcome this problem i will be very thankfull if you would reply to this post.
    Thank You

    This is an inherent [feature|problem] with using POP - each client keeps track of which messages have been read or not, and has no idea of what other clients have done.
    The typical solution is to use IMAP rather than POP. IMAP keeps that data on the server, so it's easy for clients to see what's new and what isn't.
    I have no idea whether hotmail support IMAP, though. If they don't then consider changing your setup to a different provider if needs be.

  • No sound on quicktime import

    I have a quicktime movie that plays fine in qt but when I import it into iMovie HD there is no sound.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I read the posts. I downloaded MPEG Streamclip 1.7. I tried exporting the mpg clip to dv and avi. I tried converting to mpeg. nothing worked. no sound when imported into iMovie 5 or 6. I even tried importing to iMovie 2, but that version does not recognize such files. Whenever I select export MPEG, it reads "encoding moive at 0:00"14, dta rate 292 kbps 35^ completed" forever. It doesn't finish. I'm trying it again and it has the same message.
    Here's what the Stream Info says:

  • Tunes not starting in iTunes.  No sound in QuickTime.

    Hello,
    I've just upgraded my iTunes to 6.0.4.2 .
    I opened iTunes and my library is all present and correct, but, if I try to start a track (double click, press play, hit space, use the menus, whatever), the following happens:
    The play symbol changes to pause (as expected).
    No music issues forth.
    The progress diamond stays put.
    The time elapsed doesn't elapse.
    I have tried:
    a) installing stand-alone QuickTime (it uninstalled QT for me).
    b) re-installing QuickTime from the iTunes installation again. Same problem.
    c) uninstalling and re-installing from the stand-alone QuickTime installation. Same problem. I think I've covered that now.
    d) Nosed around in my compatibility settings. None are turned on.
    e) Recreated my iTunes Library as per this link ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313 ) suggested on one thread. Still not working.
    I'm tearing my hair out now. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
