Quicktime sound but no video

I have sound but no video with my newly updated quicktime 7. How do I troubleshoot this. I tried reloading the software.

If you're referring to videos on the web, run 'iDelete QT and Flash Caches' and read the second dialog box, then click 'Yes'.

If they are videos in your Mac, what format are they?

Airplay with sound but no video - just a movie label

When using airplay, I hear the sound on my TV but no video. It just shows the movie/tv series "label" on the lower left corner. Anyone had this problem? I have the new Ipad and Apple TV 2. Does this make sense?

Sound but no video - just a white screen

Hi,
I tried to convert some xvid (AVI) files to MP4 using ConvertMovie but it couldn't play or convert the files,
there was just a white screen when I tried to play.
I thought it was just ConvertMovie, because the files play in WMP and VLC player. So I used videora to convert the files.
However, when I transfered the converted files into itunes the same thing happended; sound was fine but video screen was just white (no picture).
Also, it is not just the newly converted files that I have this problem with, all other video files in iTunes now have the same problem.
When I click on a video file, the saved artwork just turns to white. The sound is fine but there is no video throughout the whole duration of the video file.
This is also the same in quicktime.
When I transfer the video files to ipod they play perfectly, so It must be a problem on my computer.
Please help!!

Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov
When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys,
here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
easiest way:
you can do a standard import of a .swf video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
'preloadnetthing' way:
upload your videos to a url location - something like www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
(I never use capital letters or spaces)
file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
this will add the file to the add list
set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
now press Import
at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
now comes the code part
To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
(although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
*** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***
on beginSprite
floatPrecision = 2
tellStreamStatus(TRUE)
global gVideosName
set TEMP to "http://www.mywebsite.com/my_program/dswmedia/videos/" & gVideosName & ".swf"
global mynetID
set mynetID = preloadNetThing(TEMP)
set the text of cast "preload_results" to "0 %"
end beginSprite
on exitFrame
floatPrecision = 2
global mynetID
pStatList = getStreamStatus(mynetID)
if (pStatList.bytesSoFar > 0) then
    pPercentDone = (pStatList.bytesSoFar * 100) / pStatList.bytesTotal
    if pPercentDone > 99 then go NEXT
end if
set the text of cast "preload_results" to ((the string of pPercentDone) & " %")
go loop
end exitFrame

After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.

Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,
Good Luck - Yours Bengt W

I just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds.

i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.

You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Sound but no video in quicktime 7.2

When I'm on the web trying to view something in Quicktime, I get sound but no video. It was working fine and one day it stopped working. I did download a few plug-ins that may or may not have coincided with this problem. The plug-ins are: mp4vEncoder and Perian.

Did you repair permissions & restart after installing those 2 apps? If so, then try Flip4Mac and/or VLC Media Player.
Otherwise, please post the link/URL of the site(s) you are trying to use.
Thank you

Got sound but no video

Hi
I imported some footage from my HD Sony Camera with IMovie on my Macbook pro. Then finding the Movie files, copying them to a folder and then burned them to a DVD disk. I wanted to watch the movie files on my PC. I installed the latest Quicktime for Windows XP Pro it opens the file, has sound but no Video.
If I insert the DVD back in my Macbook Pro I can see the Movie files and they play just fine.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

You'll need to "export" your iMovie Projects to QuickTime formats for use with a PC.

I get sound but no video with 5G iPOD

Welcome To Apple Discussions!
You should try as Barbera Hall suggested. Then you should update your iPod(thats if you havent already)to version 1.1.1

MPEG2 Sound but NO Video on playback

I have QT Pro w/the MPEG2 Plug in (both current version) running on OSX 10.4.11 and when I try to open/play a file I get sound but no video. The file works fine with VLP and if I use Handbrake to encode the file in MPEG4 it will play. Why doesn't the MPEG2 file play? That's why I bought the plug in... Is there some other magic that needs to be done?

I looked at the encoding and it was MPEG so now at least I understand the QT not playing part. Yes the original file was from TIVO downloaded via TiveDecode Manager. I was hoping not to have to do any more encoding to get it to play in QT (want to use a Mac Mini as a Media Center). Using Handbrake I can encode to MPEG4 which does play just fine, it just can take hours to encode. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know. I know on solution is to use VLP as the player but it's not supported in Front Row (from what I can see). Thanks for the help Matti..

CNN video clip news play only sound but no video

I downloaded the latest windows player and also Quick time Flip for windows. None seems to work. Only the sound of the streaming video came through but no picture. What's wrong with my Safari? Anybody got some input what I did went wrong. Apple computer is not very good with playing most web movies.

I have a MacBook with Quick Time 7.1.1 and I'm having the same trouble with .avi files; the sound plays, but no video just white screen. Also, when I try to use QT a screen comes that says I need some QT components and directs me to the QT website. I have tried to download some of the components and still no luck.
Is there anyone having this same problem, and if so does anyone know how to fix it.
Thanks

HT204291 I can hear sound, but no video

I just hooked up my Apple TV - I have an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to do mirroring and I can hear sound, but no video. Any suggestions?

It Depends on the app you are trying to airplay. Most apps do not allow content to airplay with video and will disable the video so all you will hear is the audio. If the app you are using does not have a built in airplay function and you have to use the iphone to make it work than most likley that is the case as I described above.
It has to do with copyright protection and what the app is allowing apple to do.

Ipod classic sound but no video

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this, for it is becoming rather frustrating to deal with. I finally got a new universal dock for my new 160 gb ipod, along with a dynex a/v cord to hook up to my tv to watch various videos. I get everything hooked up, switch the video out to yes, and I get the sound, but no video. Does anyone know what is going on or what I am doing wrong (if anything)? To error on the side of simplicity, I will assume it is something on my end, but I want to make sure before I take the dynex a/v cord back. Oh, the a/v cord is composite, by the way, for that is the only connection I can use easily, without dismantling everything, but I would think that would work just fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg
ps. I have a feeling that since the a/v cable connects via the headphone jack, and since video is disables thru this, that may be the reason. Again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I just wrote this in response to another topic about the classic and the video out so I figured it might help here. Maybe if we all say enough about it apple will fix the issue so we can use our items. This is rediculous that it would not work with items that have already been purchased, even items purchased that apple resells in the store seem to have issues. Check out the article that I found and posted below.
I am having the same problem but with my philips dcp750 that I recently purchased. I was able to use it with my old 30gb iPod video but can not get it to work with new classic. The problem is that I can't switch the classics settings to turn the iPod's video out to on. I did some searching on the web and found out that with the new classic it seems apple has hidden from everyone that you can not use the video out anymore unless you use some type of special unlocking mechanisms that will be built in units. It may work with some items but it looks like apple does not want it to by default. Here is an article I found about it while doing some searching why it wouldn't work. Not sure if this is being rectified in a new firmware update or it is actually purposely done by apple. I hope they are going to fix this because I would not of purchased a new classic if I had known that it would not work with the items I have for it.
