Sony DCR SX65 has no audio after import

My iMovie app on my Mac Mini has lately not been loading audio after videos have been imported from my Sony DCR SX65. This is something recent as I have previous videos with sound but now it all my uploads do not have sound.

hey there William & welcome to Discussions.
is the VHS tape old or the MiniDV tape? if VHS, it could be that the signal has just deteriorated over time--it can happen w/ poor storage(heat, laying tapes on flat, not re-wound, etc...) & just age. have you tried not recording to MiniDV & just sending the VHS signals through the Sony w/ out a tape in it? it could be that one or more of you audio cables has gone bad, you may have dirty heads in either the VHS VCR &/or the MiniDV or have audio in problems w/ the Sony &/or audio out problems on the VHS VCR or maybe you have a FW issue on the Sony or w/ your FW cable. if you have access to another cam &/or VCR as well as FW & A-V cables, start swapping/troubleshooting & see if your results improve.
good luck.

Since 5.1 update, my Apple TV has no audio after waking from sleep mode. I can get audio back if I manually put it to sleep through settings. Help please?

Hello,
Since the 5.1 update, my Apple TV 2 has no audio after it wakes from sleep mode. To get audio back I need to go to settings and manually put it to sleep then wake it up. Once I do this I have audio. I have restarted the Apple TV as well as me modem and router. I have searched the boards and cannot find a solution. Please help.

Only have audio after importing mpeg2 video into.

After importing mpeg2 into Pre, I only have the audio portion of the file. The video is grayed out.
If I play the imported mpeg2, only the audio plays, no video.
Any thoughts as to what is going on?
Thanks for any assistance.
John

Hi Steve,
The 1080 HD video was shot with a Canon PowerShot SX1 SI and was copied over to the harddrive using the card reader built into the laptop.
The camera recorded the video in QuickTime.mov, and I converted it to mpeg2 by using FreeMake Video Converter software. The new mpeg2 file played fine on the laptop.
I then imported the new mpeg2 file into the Adobe PRE software. However, I only had audio and no video in the Adobe PRE. The video link was grayed out, while the audio was not grayed out. When I played the imported mpeg2 file, the video was blank red screen while the audio playing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John

No audio after importing AVCHD files

I have a Sony HDR-SR10 and when I import the AVCHD files into Premiere Elements 9.0 there is no audio track in the timeline and I can not hear the audio either. I've been reading all the other suggestions to this problem on the threads but I still have not been able to fix it. I do not have the trial version and the audio on my computer works fine, in fact when I play the videos in other programs, Picture Motion Browser and HP MediaSmart, I can hear the audio. I have tried importing both m2ts, mts and mpeg2 files but the audio still doesn't work. I have tried importing the video with both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel and HD 1080i 30 both with no luck. Please let me know what else I can try to do in order to get the audio working?

My Project Settings are HDV 1080i 5.1 Channel.
My camera manual indicates the audio compression format is Dolby Digital 2/5.1ch Dolby Digitial 5.1 Creator
I read the Conforming article and I'm not really sure how I know if this process is complete? Should I get an error message if it doesn't conform?
I read your Audio article yesterday when I was trying to fix this. I have a brand new computer so the audio drivers are all up to date. When I go to the ASIO settings it lists my Speakers, RealTek High Definition Audio and I have that checked. Do I need to check Device 32-bit playback or not?
Another thing I forgot to bring up is that when I put an mp3 that came with Premiere in the timeline I can hear it fine. This makes me think that it has more to do with the file type that I'm importing rather than any audio settings?

How to recover sony ARW files deleted by Aperture after importing?

I imported some Sony RAW photos (in .ARW format, shot by Sony Nex 6) from a SDXC card into Aperture library with my MacBook Pro, and as usual I let Aperture deleted the files on the SDXC card (i.e. I did not deleted the files using Finder). Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the imported ARW files (as masters in the Aperture library) by Carbon Capy Cloner (I made a copy in the wrong direction after editing the photos). Now I am trying to recover those ARW files. I used several Photo recovery software but they do not recognize any deleted ARW files on the SD card (nor on my hard drive). The best result was from Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery software, which recognizes those deleted ARW files as NEF files but the size of each photo is only 32KB (it shows the photo in its preview). I recovered them, but no software can open those 32KB NEF files. It appears to me that Aperture somehow deleted the ARW files on the SD card in a way (very different from Finder deletion) that photo recovery software can't recognize them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Yes I understand that trying to recover from my HD is more difficult, so my attention is on the card now. In fact, I tried to use Stellar to recover from the HD as well and I got tons of other photos and non of them is ARW.
I have kept both the HD and the card not being used anymore (I stopped using it right after I made the copy in the wrong direction, and the card is not being used after Aperture deleted the photos), so the data should be there. I tested with Stellar on a new card. I shot some ARW photos and format the card on my NEX 6 camera, then try to recover them with Stellar. Same result: no ARW files, only NEF files of size 32KB or less (the photos in the preview are correct). Strange. I tried Remo software, no ARW either, not even NEF files. I guess I am using the wrong recovery software (although they advertise that they recover ARW files). Is there any recovery software that DOES recover ARW photos shot by Sony NEX 6?

Choppy audio after import?

After I import a CD in iTunes using MP3 160k format, the audio file is choppy.
The CD is not scratched in the least. Does anyone know why this would happen?
Is there a setting I should change?

I would start by adding more RAM to your eMac.
In the meantime, try moving some of the problematic files to another computer and playing them with iTunes or any other MP3 player to see if they still sound choppy. If they do, then you would seem to have some problem with the files themselves rather than with your computer.

Premiere Pro CC has no audio on imported MPEG2

So I just recently upgraded to the Creative Cloud, running Premire Pro CC about half of my workflow consists of editing Mpeg2 transport stream files.
After pushing a few projects through using other formats, I decided to drop one of my run of the mill mpeg2 files on a timeline. however the audio tracks show a straight line - no visible waveform.
I have pushed these same type of files (as well as some of the exact same files) through premiere pro CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS4 with no issues at all.
I have dropped multiple other file types on the same sequence to double check that my project settings are not the issue, avchd, prores, vob, mp4, mp3, all play fine.
premiere pro CC DOES, however, see audio from an Mpeg 2 file created in media encoder, ( for this test I exported from a sequence comprised of prores and avchd files)
Also, the Mpeg 2 files which do not have audio on my premiere pro CC sequence can be played back WITH audio through vlc media player.
Thank you for any help with this problem!

it happened to me with mp4 clips. if you mean like this one
it is a an Adobe problem it even happened to media encoder. the clip is playable with any player app even I've tested it with other video production app & it works fine. so if you want to fix it temporary & fast without converting, get QuickTime pro to open the wanted clip then save the clip by QuickTime (save as) in another folder (don't change settings). in premiere pro just right click on the not working clip then choose (replace footage) with one you saved by QuickTime, voila!. if it doesn't work the clip might be broken or it need to be converted.
by the way I'm a windows 8.1 user

Image quality from DV footage has bad aliasing after import

Had to shoot DV footage with the Pana HVX-200, and shot at 480i-30p. Footage looks excellent during playback, but once imported into iMovie '08, the footage in playback has horrible alias "swim"
lines. Is this just a function of playback or is this how the video was captured? I tried both 30fps and 25fps in capture, but same result in both. Don't want to proceed with entire project if it's going to look like that. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi JW and welcome to the RH community.
You are testing my memory here, but I think if you import the
original HPJ file rather than the HLP file, you can choose what
format your BMP files are converted into.
There is no mass way of resizing images. Use RH inbuilt
Resize tool - available in the Tools tab - for resizing images. I
find it by far and away the best tool for the job.

IPhoto 9.5.1 cannot locate photos I imported...but the size of my iPhoto folder has definitely increased after importing - help!

I imported over 40GB of photos into iPhoto but now when I go to view there is a thumbnail but I receive an Alert message about not finding the original after I click on it.
The iPhoto folder definitely increased in size after the importing. I'm running iPhoto 9.5.1.
Thanks!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can't use the .m2v Video or the .aiff Audio after Importing to Assets Tab

I have Imported my video and audio file into DVD Studio Pro from final cut pro, but I cannot link them to my menu buttons or drag them to the timeline or preview pane. Any suggestions?

Sorry for the very basic question, but you don't mention a "Track" . . . did you created a Track with your video and audio?

Sony DCR-SR68 has a NightShot Function?

I want this camera
but I need a NightShot function
does it has?

Sony advertised the NighShot function heavily in camcorders that had it, but I haven't seen it advertised in years. Not even sure if it is as feasible with the CMOS sensors now in use as opposed to the CCD sensors in the NightShot cameras.
I'm fairly certain it was removed due to all of the abuse of the function (use of an IR-sensitive camera in daylight).
If you REALLY need IR sensitivity, you might be able to have a camera modified to remove the "hot mirror" IR blocking filter. Some companies offer this service for DSLRs, not sure about camcorders.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

Mpeg has no audio when imported

When I import an mpeg video into imovie, or burn it onto a dvd with a mac, I lose sound. Any ideas?

Convert your MPEG-1 file using MPEG Streamclip (free) to QuickTime formats prior to import into iMovie.
iMovie can't extract the audio portion of MPEG-1 files.

Nikon 5200 video problems no video only audio after import

Recently I bought a Nikon 5200 and when I import the h.264 footage all i get is a audio and a black screen. How can I import this properly. I have seen a bunch of ******** about paying for some convereter but I dont think anything as streamlined as these two should have a problem like this

The available bandwidth is not sufficient for you to full multi chats, but you have enough to join by audio only. This means you need a little more bandwidth, try to close iTunes and other B.W. dependent devices (like game console)s should be shut down.
Try to let the other party invite you to join the chat instead of you hosting it by initiating the chat.

Lenovo G570 has no audio after Windows 10 upgrade

I don't have any audio now that I've upgraded to Windows 10. I've tried various sources including Netflix and music apps. Headphones don't work either. I went through all the steps on this site to no avail. (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht103792) I also restarted the laptop. I talked to Windows support and they told me to downgrade to Windows 8 and try uploadng again-- I'm not sure how that would even work. They also said that Lenovo needed to update their drivers. Lenovo wants to charge me $20 a month to fix the issue. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Do I have any other options?

Hi: The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the Vista audio driver from your notebook's support page. This package contains the Conexant Audio Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems.
File name: sp35940.exe You may have to manually install the driver if the auto install doesn't work.

Can't get rid of original audio after importing movie

I downloaded a video from YouTube. It saved as .m4v.
I then dragged it into GarageBand. The movie was on one track, the audio on another.
I deleted the original audio track and created my own.
I then exported to my hard drive and the movie (.mov) plays just fine with my new audio (in QuickTime).
I then uploaded that to YouTube, but it plays there with the original audio, not my track.
What to do?

See above. There is probably some remaining metadata that needs to be stripped from the file before uploading. I would examine the .mov file attributes and look for any tags that youtube originally used to recognize the file. IE as suggested above, the name.
Examine the metadata in your Terminal:
mdls yourmovie.mov
Okay, I'll check all this out. Thanks.
