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
2GB
iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
OS X 10.4.8 (Everything is updated)

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

Refer me to a video to iPod converter program, please!

What's a girl with a PC and ipod to do? I find Cucus0ft, even with a key, to be busted and tired. I've had no help from quicktime.
Where's my video converter in shining armor?
I've got 5 seasons of .AVI Kids in the Hall to get off my computer and onto my ipod! I've installed and uninstalled so many things so many times my head is going to fall off! I need something that will get my .avi to ipod.
Please help! I need links to clean free software or names of software I can download w/ a key myself.

You know, I have no idea how to use that. The closest it seemed to getting what I want done is making the .avi readable for Quicktime or something.
So I have to go through a week of getting the .avi to Quicktime, then Quicktime to convert to ipod?
Maybe I just have no idea how to use it, because the instructions are useless as far as I've read.
My free download of CuCus0ft w/ key just closes every time I try to select a file to convert. I made it work one time, but now it's useless, even though that really was the best program for the job.
I keep trying to download non-trial versions of it to see if it'll work, but they're hard to come by for some reason and no, they don't work for me.
Really it's quite sad, because not being able to do everything I want without paying $10,000 is pretty lame and makes me feel as though the money on my ipod was wasted.

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...

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.

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:

No sound when converting video to iPod compatible

When I right-click in video to 'convert selection for iPod' it converts it, but with no sound. My other videos in iTunes (6.0.3.5) play fine and with sound, but not the converted ones. What to do?

I have seen some advice on "muxing" but since I don't have a video ipod, haven't paid much attention.

Cheers

OK as for your question, that is good. Itunes has the video and sound!
Here is how we fix this, (I hope, right? lol) do you have your Ipod set to Auto sync? You know it is on, when you cannot edit anything on your ipod, it just copies everything on Itunes!
Here is what you do if Auto-sync is on:
To turn auto sync off:
Attach Ipod.
Open Itunes
Click on you ipod icon (the little ipod picture under devices)
The third button down will say: “Manage all music and videos”
Click on the box and give it a, √
Now you HAVE to drag and drop things (music, video, etc.) in Itunes to your ipod. Itunes will not do it automatically anymore. But if your computer crashes, your Ipod will not delete all of its music if you attach it again (because there is no music on Itunes).
If you do not have sync on, write back and let me know. Auto sync is the main problem that cerate this.
As for your question about dragging files to Itunes, make sure they are MPEG-4 format (Quick-Time) or they will not drop into Itunes.
Let me know if it works. God Life

No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

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

Julia,
You need to format the iPod for Windows use.
Download the iPod Updater, install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted, then follow the set up procedure.

Can transfer videos to iPod via Videora: SOUND but no MOVIE!!!

I have been able to transfer videos (after they were converted using Videora iPod Converter) to iTunes and then to the iPod. But when I go to play it, I hear the sound but I don't see the movie. I have the tv out feature set to OFF as well. Can anyone help me? Anyone who solves this has just about solved the video problem for hundreds of others as well!!! Please help.

Hmmm that is weird. Have you gone into your Ipod options and made sure under video, that you DO NOT have "do not update videos" selected. If that is not the problem then try this.
Make a new playlist to hold your videos in your Ipod. Then under "videos" in your Ipod options select "Automatically update selected playlist only", and then select the playlist that you created to hold your videos and click "ok". After you do that put the videos into your library, then from your library click and drag the videos into the playlist you created to hold your Ipod. Then update your Ipod and you should have them on their.
