Please Help! Audio off on imported .mp4 files (but fine everywhere else).

Hello,
I am trying to trouble shoot a problem. I am a beginner when it comes to the technical end of this so please forgive me if I don’t post the correct information. Hopefully somebody here can help or point me in the right direction.
My problem is this: I’m using Skype on my (windows 7 ultimate) pc to make group video calls. I use Skype along with the program Evaer in order to record the video and audio of each person on the call separately. It records it using the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Codec. At 1280 X 720 and 30fps. The video files have the audio in them as well. However it also records a separate .mp3 with everyones audio at 265 BitRate and 48000 SampleRate. So after the group call (with 3 people) is finished I will have three .mp4 video files w/ audio (1 for each person on the call) and 1 .mp3 file. If I open any of the video files in Windows Media Play they play just fine. But when I bring the file into Adobe Premiere CS6 for editing, the audio is completely off. What can I do to fix this?
I did “interperate footage” for the file and this is what it shows:
File Path: F:\VIDEO RECAP\ call1.mp4
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 1.3 GB
Image Size: 1280 x 720
Frame Rate: 28.47
Source Audio Format: 16000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 32000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00;57;55;04
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
I want to edit this in HD. So the project setting I choose is “HDV 720p30fps”. I import my file, and then drag it into to the time line. It says that the sequence settings are wrong, and so I tell it to change them automatically (I have also to it to leave them) either way it doesn’t matter. When I play back the video .mp4 in Premiere CS6 the audio is completely off.
So is there some setting I need to tweak? Is it the project settings that are wrong? Or could it be a problem with my graphics, and sound card? I just dont understand why it plays fine in WMP but not in Adobe. Any help or advice would be truly appreciated. If you need any more info, just let me know.
Thanks!

Is there any more info that would help you guys? I still cant figure this out.

IMovie imports mp4 files but with distortion

Haven't posted on here before but can't figure this one out.
I have a Sony Handycam that records in mpeg2 format only.
I used MPEG Streamclip (video converter) to convert the mpeg2(.mpg) files to mpeg4 (.mp4)
format. I have no problem importing them in iMovie and they appear to have
some strange distortion that looks like horizontal lines going through everything.
I don't see this when I play the same converted file back in QuickTime.
I already spent the $20 to get the mpeg2 codec from Apple, which irritated me and
now I can't even work with the format I want.
What should I do? Is this something that just isn't going to happen?

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert your MPEG file to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing. After editing in iMovie, you can render in h.264.

Please help! Error on Excel on iPhone, but fine on computer.

I found these back on early message board entries. Maybe they will help.
We recommend a download manager for users who have trouble with very large downloads. Getright (www.getright.com) is a good one for Windows, others are in the FAQ.
You might want to disable the 'automatic' launching of getright and then just copy and paste the URL into Getright after you manually launch it. eg. Navigate OTN all the way until you get to an actual download URL (download.oracle.com) and then launch getright and paste that into the application.

No audio in previously working imported MP4 files. . .

I've noticed a new issue with iMovie over the past few months where previously working MP4 files (we use hardware MP4 recording decks to record class videos) now no longer have audio when imported into iMovie. Also, Quicktime doesn't play these anymore. I suspect it's a Quicktime issue at its core because that's what iMovie uses to import video files, but the immediate symptom is in iMovie. We use two different types/brands of recording decks, so it's not an issue with a specific one, and their firmware haven't been changed. The only thing that has been updated or changed is the Mac.
The only way I've found to get these videos to play properly is to pass them through Handbrake, but that's a huge waste of time, and I honestly don't think that's an acceptable solution. Is there somebody with actual knowledge of this problem who knows a fix or whether a fix is in the works at Apple? Please don't just send me to some outdated "troubleshooting" list that has things like "try restarting imovie." That's a waste of both of our time.
Thanks.

Seem like the problem is being picked up elsewhere as well:

If you scroll down you will see Victoria Brampton can reproduce the problem and has reported a bug.

No Audio when I import MTS files

Hello,
I'm running Adobe Premiere 6.0.0 and I can import MP4 files off my cellphone just fine with audio. But when I import from my Sony HDR-110 HD 1080p camera it will not show any audio anywhere or play any. Even if I try to play one of the MTS files from the Sony out of the timeline above it in the preview section it will not play sound. The files play flawless outside of the program. Can someone please help? I've never had this problem with earlier versions of Adobe Premiere.
Thank you.

FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

Hello. The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video. Thanks, Don.

Hi there
Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
Cheers... Rick

IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos. Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960. For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format. They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto). When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out. And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos. I also installed Perian and rebooted.
In case it helps:
- I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
- QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
- VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
Any ideas? This is incredibly frustrating!

Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.

ITunes will not import mp4-files.

For some reason iTune will not import mp4-files into iTunes. The files only contain audio, no video. I know that mp4 is a format that combines the two.
The files were generated in an earlier version of iTunes, like in 2006 or something. They were imported from CD's. I can locate them just fine on my computer and they play without problem in Windows Media Player.
The problem is that when I try to import them the way that iTunes want me to import files its like they don't exist. ITunes locates the folders and sub-folders, but its like there's no content in the folders...
I've tried changing my import settings but nothing seems to help...
Have any of you encountered a similar problem, could you fix it and how?
I've contacted Apple-support but they were unable (incompetent) to assist me...
To me it seems like the only option left is to convert all the files, like 2 GB, from mp4 to mp3.
Thankful for any help I could get solving this ***** of an issue...

iTunes can handle just about any file format that works with QuickTime and will play any file purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store. If you've got video files that end with a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, you can import them to iTunes with ease. However, the video especially the MP4 video must meet the following specifications: it must be encoded as 540 kbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with an approximately 128 kbit/s AAC audio track or encoded as 1.5 Mbit/s (minimum) MPEG-4 video (H.264) with a minimum 128 kbit/s AAC audio track. If not, you will fail to import MP4 to iTunes.
Even if your MP4 files meet the above specifications and are added to iTunes successfully, it may still fail to sync to iOS devices. For iPhones, iPads, and video-capable iPods play videos in more specific video formats and codecs.
Here is a detailed guide to get iTunes unfriendly MP4 to iTunes

Please help me, I mistakenly deleted a file. How can I retrieve my file?

PLease help me retrieve my file. I was rearranging some docs into sub-files and mistakenly deleted the main file, thinking the sub-files would still be there and they are all gone. Lots and lots of docs. PLEASE HELP ME,!!! The File name was "Cardis, Jackets, Ponchos& Tops Patterns. I was using the new Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I don't believe you can if the only copy is on your iPad.
You must make backups of files which you have on your mobile devices. Then restore from the backup. Backups could easily made by uploading them to Document Cloud, or backing up to another device.

Importing mp4 files into Adobe Premiere Elements 4

Hi
I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 4 here and am having problems when importing mp4 files. They jump and skip, Flicker Green every now and then and generally just flip out on me.
Does anyone know what's the problem here and whether there's any specific settings i need to tweak within APE to get it to work properly?
TIA

Ok thanks for the info guys
My original recommendation was to convert these but as mentioned wasn't the most popular option.
I've found some other threads on here in regards to a similar problem with Samsung cameras and APE 4. These also mention that the files need to be converted to a friendlier format before importing.
Thanks again
