No sound on mpg imported to iMovie 06

Hello,
I have a 2 minute mpg that I would like to edit then upload to a website. I have imported it to iMovie. The sound is gone. Is there something Im missing,
Or is this a bug in iMovie 06?
Is there any other way to edit this?
Thanks

iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips (and that's what you're trying to do)

You'll need:
MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).

  • Sound doesn't import in iMovie videos.

    I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W50 digital camera that imports perfectly on Quicktime. When I drag the videos to iMovie, the sound doesn't work. I was told that I needed to convert it. It's an MPG and I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that I could use to do so and what to change it to. Thank you.

    Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am having a major issue with my Cybercam and don't know where to post it. You said that yours was syncing perfectly and I need help with that. When I plug my camera (DSC-W80) into my powerbook, the finder freezes. but if I change the camera settings to use PictBridge, I can get the pictures sometimes with Image Capture, and all the video clips(if i can even open them) are only 1 second long. Does anyone know what I can do?

  • Sound lost by Importing IN iMovie

    I have some small films from a dicital still camera (Sony DSC-T1) in a .MPG format on my HD. I´d like to get them together in iMovie, so I´ve tried to import them. I´ve got the pictures (film) but the sound was lost. So I`ve tried to save the films with QuicktimePro 7 in to an other format (.MOV,.MPEG-4,.DV,...) but with no of these exports the sound stayed with.
    Have you an idea what i could do to save the sound???

    BTW, converting MPEG to DV/MOV the mother of all FAQs here Sadly the FAQ section of the forum decribes just the problem, not any solutions. And searching the forums doesn't always work either.

  • No sound in file import by iMovie 11

    Hi,
    Went I import video file there is no sound in imovie 11, since sunday.

    If you made update of iMovie from 9.0.4 to 9.0.6, I had the same problem. The solution is to back at 9.0.4 after to have removing iMovie last version with caches & pref and reinstall it but without update the last version.

  • Distored sound during video import to iMovie

    While importing movie footage from my Sharp viewcam into iMovie the audio is distorted. It doesn't sound distored when I view it on the viewcam only.
    I just finished a project last week with the same viewcam and different movie footage and didn't have this problem. The audio was fine.
    Has this happened to anyone out there?

    Hi Mr Lucy:
    Be sure your camera is set to 16-bit, not 12-bit.
    Also I quote QuickTimeKirk:
    ”Open the Audio MIDI Setup application (Utilities folder).
    Try changing the settings to 44100Hz (CD Quality) or to 48000Hz (typical of the iMovie formats).
    Others call this the GarageBand fix. Opening GB also resets the Audio MIDI Setup.”

  • Import a .MPG file into iMovie

    I have a lot of .MPG files on a disk that I want to import into iMovie.
    These files were recorded on a Sony Handycam.
    I cannot import these files into iPhoto or iMovie. I have downloaded VLC so are able to watch these files individually but would like to edit and join these clips to make one movie.
    1. How can I convert these files so they are compatible with iMovie / iPhoto.
    I have been reading all the Help / Forum discussion and I am now very confused.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Still a bit of a hack at this, so plain english would helpful.
    Thank you.

    have you tried running them thru "Hand Brake" to convert them into mp4 files? Hand Brake is a free down load.
    i am a bit of a hack as well so this may or may not work. I am currently trying to find the right software to grab some footage from a commercial DVD for some personal work and cannot get it to work so i feel your pain.

  • MPG-Import, Sound missing

    I´m trying to import mpg-files on a Mac into
    flash8(professional). The files are playing well inside
    Quicktime-Player, including the sounds. After importing them to
    flash (direct import to timeline and the use of Flash8 Video
    encoder»flv lead to the same problem), the video is played
    inside the swf without the sound.
    Inside the import-menu, flash tells that there is no known
    sound format/codec included.
    I tried it with quicktime 7.0.1 and newer versions installed.
    Can someone tell me where the problem is – or how to
    fix that?
    Thanks a lot!

    I´m sorry for disturbing again – I tried to find
    tools to convert the mpegs to .flv, .mov or other formats. All of
    them (like sorenson squeeze) convert the files, but without the
    audio.
    What I´m curious about is, that my old PC with an old
    flash-mx-version complainless accepts the same mpeg-file and
    imports it to the timeline. Sound included. I´m getting mad
    about this Mac-only-problem.
    I hope there´s anything more to say about this?

  • 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:

  • When Importing a movie, Sound will not Import with Movie

    When I import some quicktime movies into IMovie which I have download, the movie will import into IMovie but there will be no sound with the movie when I play it in IMovie. Can anyone help me...

    Obviously your QT movies are, in fact, MPEG movies. You need 3rd party utilities to convert MPEG to DV with audio. Search the forum -- this is a mother of all FAQs here.

  • I had old 8mm converted to dvd then used "Rip It" then imported to iMovie. My problem: in the event library a complete person is shown, in the project the top of their head is missing. How can I fix?

    I had old 8mm movies converted to dvd. I then used "rip it" and imported to imovie. In the event library a complete person is shown on a clip. However, when I move that clip to the project the tops of peoples heads are missing in the playback. I have used standard (4:3) because the cut is lower in widescreen. How do I fix this problem?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • Trouble opening mpeg movie files and importing into iMovie 08

    Hi, I'd be most grateful if anyone could provide any solutions to the following problem...
    A friend has emailed me two .mpeg movie files which are parts 1&2 of a home movie which I want to edit in iMovie and burn to DVD. The footage was shot on a miniHDV camcorder (not sure which brand).
    Opening in QT 7.6 gives the following warning dialogue: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file."
    The files will however play fine in VLC Media Player, but not in mpeg Streamclip (the file appears to play but the viewer is blank with no audio/video). Trying to import into iMovie is unsuccessful. The iMovie browser won't let me choose the files or drag/drop.
    Any ideas. I read somewhere that iMovie 08 can't import mpeg-1 files. Do I need to convert the files, and if so how?
    Thanks in advance, and apologies - this is my first experience of video editing.

    I have QT Player but it hasn't "kicked in" when I try to import my videos.
    Something called PIXE VRF Browser is supposed to help in the conversion. The QT MPEG-2 thingy won't install until I buy QT Pro, according to what I get on the screen.
    Sounds like you have too many applications trying to do the same thing. Either use the Pixela Pixe VRF Browser or use the Mac applications (Mac OS Finder, Apple QT MPEG-2 Playback Component w/MPEG Streamclip) but not both to do the same job. The Apple Finder should be able to copy multiplexed VOB/MPEG-2 files from either your PC burned DVD or directly from your camcorder DVD to your MAC hard drive where MPEG Streamclip/QT MPEG-2 component can convert them for use in iMovie '08. Frankly, I don't understand your work work flow or why you want to import your files to a GOP editor in the first place if your goal is to do frame level editing in iMovie '08.
    As for Jon's suggestion, I am on dial-up and cannot download big files at 3-4 Kbps snail pace.
    What does this have to do with importing your camcorder files to your PC and re-burning them to DVD for use on your Mac? If I were to make a recommendation here, it would have been to use an external hard drive here rather than DVDs for transporting files between platforms and then only if you want the files available to both. If your goal is only to edit them in iMovie '08 or iMovie HD on your Mac, then why not cut out the "middleman" platform?
    I wish I could purchase these updates on DVDs but the genies couldn't even tell me if there's such a service.
    Totally confused here. Are you saying your DVR-D300 files were commercial produced or that you are dealing with torrent downloads of copy-written material? These are two separate issues with facets beyond the scope of this forum.
    As for "platform", I have iMovie08. iMac does not read the mini RAM disks when I connect the camera to a USB port.
    Are you saying the Finder doesn't read them or that iMovie '08 doesn't read them? Do you "finalize" your DVDs before trying to read them via USB as the manual states may be necessary as indicated on page 150 of your manual?
    How can I find out that iMovie09 will let me import and edit my Panasonic videos?
    You could try going to the Apple site and checking the the tapeless camcorder compatibility chart. The Panasonic DVR-D300 is specifically listed along with a hot link for additional information. However, this still won't help you you don't finalize the content.
