No sound in videos on iPod

Hi,
My ipod is not playing sound along with my video. I've never had the need to use the video until now but the video plays fine its just that there is no sound with whatsoever.
The video is a music video but that shouldn't matter should it?
Thanks,
Martin

Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.

Sound with videos on ipod 60gb

Alright, so when i first bought this ipod, the sound worked beautifully. I converted my files to mp4's and they everything was butter. But when i updated the software, the sound stopped working so well. Now it only plays the first 30 seconds or so with sound, then it freezes and stops playing sound, but the video still plays. I figure that its the software, but i really dont feel re-setting factory settings and having to re-download all these songs and videos. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, how did you fix it??? THANKS
60 GB iPod video Windows 2000

Yes I can confirm the same problem with my ipod after upgrading to firmware 1.1 (for the radio remote control support). With my ipod the problem consists only with longer movie files. Short files, such as musicvideos are played with out problem but a movie has the described "30 seconds with sound - freeze - rest without sound" problem!! Very interesting for me: sometimes, after restarting the movies several times the movie continues to play without problem (in average in 1 of 9 cases ) - looks to me as a timing problem.
I really do hope that Apple is solving this annoying issue immediately, since otherwise they will not sell any radio remotes

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

My IPOD WONT PLAY SOUND ON VIDEOS

the converted videos dont have any sound. when i put
the converted videos on my ipod, they wont play- they

and band, and, instead of the album cover, there is a
still frame from the video. is there something wrong
with the videos??? help!!!!
That sometimes happend to me when I converted the videos using Itunes....So, I use this converter instead...
Videora Ipod Coverter
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
It'a a free program to download and your videos should play fine in your ipod once you use this to covert them.
As for the videos not playing for you, it could be the fact that you coverted them using Itunes, so try the above converter instead and that should work okay. If that still doesn't work for you try getting your settings back to their original state - Go to 'Settings' and then 'reset Settings' and this will put your settings back the way they were once you bought the ipod originally. The videos should definately play in your ipod then.
If you need anymore help, just let me know, I know how annoying it is when the videos won't play properly!!!
Good luck with it!

Ipod nano 3rd gen. doesnt have sound during videos

i upload videos into itunes and they play fine, with sound. after converting to ipod format the sound is lost. the video is fine, but the sound is either absent or loud crackling. help please!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If the sound is absent, it is probably because it is muxed, or the video and audio are all on one track. If you open the video in QuickTime Player, and go under the Window menu to Show Movie Inspector. In the Format line, if you see anything like, "MPEG1 Muxed", or the word 'Muxed' at all, you will need to use a program to 'demux' it.
There are programs such as MPEG Streamclip, available for download at [http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html] that can demux audio. Under the File Menu, there are options to demux it, or save as MPEG-4.
If you don't like that, you can use VLC Media Player [www.videolan.org/vlc] to convert. When you open a file, click Streaming/Saving Options, and save as an MP4.
Sorry, but I don't know how to help you with crackling, but following the same directions as above may help. Please let me know. I'll search around to see if I can find anything about that.

Lost sound when convert Quicktime video to ipod video

Hi,
when I use iTune to conveert a video file from quicktime (or others) to ipod/iphone video file I lost the sound!
I'll appreciate any help!
Thanks!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

No sound; Video to iPod Convert

Hey, I am trying to convert a .mpg video file (Bit Rate: 1395 kb/s) and when I do there is no sound. The video aspect of it is just fine.
Edit: I just tried to convert it to .mov with Quicktime rather than iTunes and failed No sound...
Anyone know what is causing this?
MBP C2D 2.33GHz 15.4

iTunes 7.0.2 (15)

If the file is muxed, there's the problem.

Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please

Itunes converrts videos for ipod but then thay have no SOUND!!! Help please
Just bought it a couple of days ago, and its doing this!!! why doed the videos now both on my ipod and itunes not have sound?

Your source video file is probably muxed.
Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
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.
Try MPEG Streamclip.

When I convert my Videos to iPod there is no sound when I try to play them.

Help Please,
I have some music videos in iTunes and I have hit the advanced button and converted the selection to iPod. It converts them so that I can put them on my iPod but there is no sound at all when the video plays on my iPod. When I do this procedure to convert the video on iTunes it pops up another copy of the video on the iTunes movie section which I am assuming is the converted video. If I click on the original video on iTunes the video will play and I hear the music. If I click on the converted version that goes to my iPod I see the video but hear no sound. I hope you guys have some help for me.
Thanks in advance.

This normally occurs when attempting to use QT/iTunes to convert a "muxed" video format to an iPod compatible format. Use an MPEG based third-party application like MPEG Streamclip (free) instead.

No sound when exporting videos to iPod

It blows! I have bought the new iPod with video. When I export videos to iPod format in quicktime Pro, after eternal times of waiting for small videos, it results that it doesn't export them with audio. Any ideas? Any solution to this problem? How to make it faster? I cant imagine how much it will take if I convert a movie or something... Any other free software for this?
Thank you very much.

Are you attempting to convert mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 in QT? QT does not export the sound from those formats. QT Mpeg Limitations
If it is mpeg-1 you can use this freeware Windows app to convert to uncompressed avi. QT will read that format and will export both sound and video from it. VirtualDub
Open the mpeg-1 in VDub and then use Save as Avi in the File menu to save the new file.
As far as speed goes, you could try using mpeg-4 instead of H264 compression. H264 does nice work but is just plain slow.

No sound when converting video to ipod

after i convert video for ipod playback using quicktime the file has no sound???.....

it's probably best to check to see if the source files for that video are "muxed". for some more info on that, see:
