Sound glitches in .MOV files.

I hope that this is the right place for this question - if it's not, please feel free to point me in the right direction.
I've recently started having trouble playing .MOV files, both from my hard drive and web pages. The video works fine, but the sound pops and stutters. This occurs on a variety of players, namely the Quicktime player and Media Player Classic. Windows Media Player and Zoom Player refuse to play them at all.
In addition to this, Max Payne and Max Payne 2 have extremely garbled in-game speech, in much the same manner as .MOV files.
My sound card is a C-Media CM8338, with the latest drivers. Would getting a newer card help? How about reinstalling Windows? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi thanks! I didn't think they could fix such problems, should have thought of this myself! sorry *Feel embarrassed now* lol I've reported all of the relevant vids, just hope they help me! Thanks again!

No sound on my .mov files in interactive PDF

I'm experiencing a problem with a .mov file I've placed in indesign and then exsported as an interactive PDF, the movie shows, but it has no sound! what am I doing wrong?
When I play it normal, it works very fine!
Hope you can help me.

Could be an odd audio codec. Probably worth trying to convert mov to flv (Adobe Media Encoder), which will give you more controller options too.

No video but sound when playing .mov files

I'm trying to play .mov files on my computer and I get sound but no video. I've installed the latest verson of QT and no help.
The computer is an older MBP.

I should explain better. The mov files are exports from a 2-year-old MBP using FCP and exporting the files as self-contained movies. They were exported to use as an archive and saved on DVDs. Now I'm working on a 4 year-old MBP with FCE and trying to open the files with quicktime after downloading them from the DVD archives. I get the sound but no video. Please help me resolve this.

Playback of sounds from flash movie files in authorware

Ive imported a flash movie file into authorware but the sound
is not playing back. In flash, I created a movie that includes
graphics and sounds. The movie plays perfectly when I open the
flash player but it doesnt play when imported into Authorware. Ive
tried publishing the flash file as quicktime but had a problem with
the handler on my computer. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

If you click the 'Options' button on the Property panel for
the Flash
movie, is the 'Playback > Sound' checkbox actually checked
in the
resulting dialog box?
When published as QT, what does 'had a problem with the
handler on my
computer' mean? Do you have QT installed on the playback
machine? Are
you using Insert > Media > Quicktime?

No sound when playing ,mov files ?

I converted a .avi file to .mov and when playing it in quicktime I have video but no sound. If I uninstall quicktime and use quicktime alternative + media player classic, the .mov files play perfect. But when I install quicktime again (which i have to have for my iPod) there is no sound. I cant figure out how to fix this.

I have same problem. I have a law lecture CD with .mov files. It plays perfectly in Classic with QT 6.0 but with OS X QT 7 Pro the audio will not play. I called Apple, but got no satisfactory response from the help line.

Imovie 09 transitions glitch with (.MOV) files

Hi Guys,
Anyone help please - *imac just about to go out the window and wife very fed up of foul language!*
I have been successfully creating movies in imovie HD for a number of years and have recently updated to imovie 09. At the same time I have purchased a new Kodak Zi6 mini camcorder (fantastic HD quality clips for a tiny palm held camera, for those interested). Films in HD 720p 60fps, HD 33fps and VGA. Thought this would be ideal with imovie as films in .MOV mode and clip imported in look glorious. All goes well with all the wonderful new features in imovie 09 (new title styles are particularly good) until I try and add transitions between frames. Some work sometimes, some don't work at all. The 'Cross Dissolve' (which I love) will usually freeze the following clip in the view window although the red time line continues in the Project Library. What is even more frustrating is the same transition works between some clips and not others there really doesn't seem to be any logic at all. Thought it might be a problem with the HD60 mode having too many fps but have also tried in HD30 and VGA - to no avail. I have a new 3.06 GHz imac with 4GB of RAM so I'm sure its not a power problem. I've done all the usual reboots and opened New Projects and have even tried the clips in imovie HD with all the same issues.
Will I have to except that I've wasted my money on this camera or can anyone help - I would be very pleased if you can.
Cheers - Paul

Hi JBK
*Huge thanks for this* - the link proved very useful. I tried the MPEG STREAMCLIP option and like yourself exported to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codex @ 100% quality (you can also export in DV mode with much the same results) - it worked fine but file sizes trebled and quality reduced (you can also. As you say its also a pain to have to go though another process. To be able to do it inside imove is a much better option (thanks to tjworld for that, who would have thought of doing that!!!) Surely this will be something Apple have to sort out in the next upgrade. So pleased that I can continue using the Zi6 as it's a really smart little camera - even though mine is pink one (the camera that is!) This is the first time I've used a discussion stream so thanks again all for the help
Paul

No sound when importing .mov files from Screenium

Hi guys,
I've recorded some screengrabs using Screenium.
When I import them into Premiere Pro to edit, they don't have any sound. I can watch them through Quicktime with sound fine, but it's just Premiere Pro they don't work in.
I've imported another file (.avi) from my digital camera and the sound on that works fine... any ideas what's up?
Thanks
Oli

No sound in QT6.5.2 .mov file

Hi, anybody have any suggestions on how I might get sound in my .mov file that now has none? Checked iMovie4 for off buttons checked,but all were checked and on. Had to re-install 6.5.2 instead of QT7 to stop stuttering iMovie4 export.Worked great. This is new glitch.Thanks for anything you can add. Kate

Kate, you might check Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder and see if the format setting is 44100.0 Hz.

How to export slideshow and soundtrack as one movie file

This may be a bit naive...I created a keynote presentation, with a soundtrack. When I went to export it, I clicked "include audio," as well as "include soundtrack" (since i wasn't sure if audio also includes the soundtrack.) The result is 2 .mov files, one of which is the soundtrack. However, I need it to be only one file, so that I can upload it to a school video website that expects the file to have both the sound and the images in one file. Don't quite understand what I have done incorrectly. Thanks.

I just discovered this myself.
For some reason TWO files are exported. The manual says something like "If the slide show
contains a sound track, two movie files are created. The file with suffix "soundtrack" contains audio
only and can be deleted".
But the other one does NOT contain any Audio.
WHY, Apple? Are you listening? Lots of people experience HORRENDOUSLY bad results when exporting from Keynote. Sounds are not in sync - or when exporting to QuickTime: missing all together.
What is the point in exporting a separate sound file and leaving the other one WITHOUT sound???
Can someone at Apple please explain the reasoning behind this.
Or even better - tell us how to actually get a working QuickTime export?
Seriously - I didn't leave PowerPoint behind for this kind of non-functioning.
Stop making silly software that doesn't work, and make tools that we can actually use to fill our needs.
Or is it all about phones, these days?

Sound glitch? file -LOST S2E1 "Man of Science, Man of Faith"

regarding the "Man of Science, Man of Faith" episode, (season 2 episode 1) the movie file purchased through the iTunes Music/Video store...
at around 9:48 into the episode, does one else hear that sound glitch? it's pretty much obvious. just wondering if it's just a problem with my file...
perhaps i need to download it again, maybe?
thanks everyone.

A few people have reported this problem, and we are still tracking it down.
Meanbwhile, a new feature of iTunes 6.0 is resumable downloads. So you can cancel the download and retry later and iTunes will pick up where it left off. Try quitting iTunes which will stop the download, restarting your computer, and then do Check For Purchases in the Advanced menu in iTunes.

No sound on .mov files - why?

I've just got a MacPro running 10.4.11. If I download a .mov file it appears to play perfectly but with no sound. I have Quicktime 7.5 installed. What can I do about this?
Thanks,
Alex

Sorry, my bad - you already mentioned that it is H.264, about which more here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/technologies/h264/faq.html
As you can see these should play in Quicktime 7.5.5 which you presumably have?
As for the missing audio:
Your audio settings may have been changed.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

Exporting from .mpeg to .mov file loses sound

Okays so I know that there are numerous forum discussions out there on this topic but none helped me figure out my problem so I decided to create my own.
I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat. To get my mpeg file I:
1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg.
All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
This worked succussfully as well with the M2V file playing normally in quicktime with sound. I then tried to export the M2V file to a .mov file and got the same outcome...video but no sound.
Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong? Also I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?
Thank you.

1. used mac-the-ripper to get the Video_TS folder from a DVD with now encryption.
If the source DVD is not encrypted, then the VIDEO_TS folder or desired non-zero title VOB series can be copied directly to your hard drive without the use of MTR.
2. then I took that .VOB file from that and drug it into MPEG Streamclip to convert the .VOB file to an xxx.mpeg... I'm trying to take a xxx.mpeg file and convert it to a smaller xxx_web.mov file that I can use for posting on the web and sending to friends easily over ichat.
If you goal is to create a small, web compatible file, you should convert to your final target compression format while in MPEG Streamclip. Most Apple applications use the H.264/AAC compression format for posting to web sites since it generally produces the smallest file for a given level of quality. For instance, selecting the "Export to MPEG-4..." option in MPEG Streamclip, pressing the "iTunes" button, and then selecting an appropriate size/aspect combination will automatically load user settings to create your final file. The 640x480 or 640x360 iTunes option will produce a file similar to the iTunes option in QT Pro (or iTunes) but will also retain your audio.
All is well up till this point and xxx.mpeg plays fine with sound. Next I tried to use quicktime pro to export my xxx.mpeg file to xxx_web.mov. This gave me video with now sound
QT Pro does not fully support multiplexed MPEG compression formats. An MPEG (MPEG2/MP2) compression format will play in the QT player with the QT MPEG-2 Playback component installed but cannot be edited or converted and retain the audio. To retain the audio, you must use a third-party, MPEG-based conversion application like MPEG Streamclip.
Then I read about mpegs being muxed and I needed to demux them. So I used MPEG Streamclip to demux xxx.mpeg with the following option from MPEG Streamclip:
DEMUX to M2V and AIFF.
This work flow creates two elementary stream files. Both the M2V (with MPEG-2 component installed) and the AIFF file are QT Pro compatible. However, they must always be stored together on your hard drive. Since the M2V video file "resources" the AIFF audio in a separate file, if the files are separated, this reference will be orphaned and, as you have seen, you again end up losing your audio.
I just started using MPEG Streamclip can it do everything i'm trying to do (meaning can I bypass using quicktime pro)?... Can someone walk me through what I'm doing wrong?
Already covered. (See above.)
If I export to any format (QuickTime movie, AVI, Windows Media, MPEG-4), all of the audio options are greyed out. Some say explicitly that there is no audio in the source movie. If I go ahead, I get a file with no audio.
The "Save" and "Save As..." options do not convert the compression format. They merely take the data (which you already said plays correctly) and places it in an MOV file container where it continues to play correctly. On the other hand, when you attempt to convert the file to other compression formats (i.e., change the data within the container), then you lose the audio. As indicated above, multiplexed formats like MPEG-2 video with MPEG-1 layer 2 audio are playback only compatible with the QT structure. If you wish to convert the data to a different format and retain the audio, use a third-party, MPEG-based application.
QuickTime is obviously able to decode the .m1a audio since it can play it. Why does it seem to not be aware the audio is there if I try to export it?
Because QT is based on a multi-track engine that synchronizes audio and video frames with reference to external clocking. On the other hand, multiplexed content divides the audio and video into interspersed blocks of data synchronized spatially within a single data stream. QT could theoretically create two separate streams of data but has no way of synchronizing any single frame of audio with its video frame counterpart. The MPEG Streamclip engine can do this but requires the QT MPEG-2 Playback component to then bridge the gap between spatial and temporal based playback engines. Without this temporal relationship the QT player would probably return the infamous "Not a movie" message.
