When playing QuickTime file, I get sound but no picture

Someone provided me with some Quicktime files. Regardless of what program I use to play them, (iMovie 6, QuickTime Player, MPEG Streamclip) I get the sound but there is no picture. I'm thinking that maybe there is a codec that I don't have. I really need to get these files to work with iMovie 6. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, Kirk. They sent me a sample 10-second file in H.264 and it works. I think the picture quality is diminished--not too bad, though. Which codec would have the best quality and still work in iMovie6? Keep in mind I will be editing the video and then exporting it to iDVD. Thanks.

I've bought a Digital AV Adapter to be able to connect my Iphone 4g to the TV. I only get sound but no picture when I look at TVPlay-canals. Photo gallery OK. I have updated my phone to the latest version IOS. Any solution?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your phone doesn't do mirroring, only the 4S will do that. It only does basic AirPlay.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

I am playing max go. I get sound but no picture

I am trying to play max go on apple tv. I get sound but no picture What do I need to adjust???

There is nothing to adjust. Not all apps are enabled for airplaying video. It is up to the developer to do this

I cannot get my ipod touch to airplay - I an get sound, but no picture that mimics what I see on my ipod, such as the game I am playing, any suggestions?

Mirroring is only available on iPhone 4S and iPad (Gen 2 and 3). In regards to airplay (which is a separate feature to mirroring), not all apps are enabled and this is up to the developer.

Are you using an Apple TV?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Make sure you plug the yellow cable into the Video IN on your TV.

Has anybody figured out how to make flip4mac work in Lion? I get sound but no picture

WMV files have worked fine up through snow leopard but now all I get is audio and no video. Have reinstalled newest version of flip4mac but same results

If I recall correctly, the current version of Quicktime X (from Snow Leopard and Lion) does not support external plugins like Flip4Mac. The workaround under Snow Leopard was to install Quicktime 7.x for Snow Leopard (optional download from Apple...good luck finding it these days). I don't know if that still works under Lion, though.
Probably not very helpful...

VideoDisplay playing flv with sound but no picture...

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help with an annoying problem that
isn't making much sense to me.... I have an mxml component that is
based on an HBox, which houses a single Video Display control. In
the main application file I add this component which houses the
Video Display control to a canvas using addChild. What I then do is
I play different flv files by containing each flv file name in an
array, and then bind the next flv name to the source of the Video
Display control in order to play the correct video... so in other
words...

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] private var _arrFLVs:Array = new Array("vid1.flv",
"vid2.flv", "vid3.flv");
[Bindable] private var _currentFLV:String;
[Bindable] private var _i:int;
public function init():void
_currentFLV = _arrFLVs[_i];
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:VideoDisplay width="398" height="282"
id="videoDisplay" autoPlay="true" source="flvs/{_currentFLV}" />

I have other functions which increment the _i variable. So
basically what happens is when the video has finished playing, an
event handler executes which is listening for the end of the video,
the event handler then executes another function which removes the
component with the video player from the canvas and adds a
different component to display a series of images, once the images
has finished cycling through what it needs to cycle through I
remove that image component and add the video component back onto
the canvas to display the next flv. This process repeats itself
once all videos has been shown and then starts over again. The
problem I'm experiencing is that every now and then when the video
is supposed to be played, it gets added successfully to the canvas
using addChild, the correct source gets assigned to the video
player, but i see no image when it starts playing. I hear sound,
but no picture. I know the correct source is being assigned to the
video player because I trace it before and while its playing the
video, aside from tracing the source, i hear the audio of the flv
currently playing so i know its the correct flv - only problem is
that there is no picture. The picture not displaying happens
randomly, so for example if the first 4 flv's have finished playing
the 5th won't show a picture although i hear the sound, then the
6th will work fine. When the entire process begins again, the 5th
will work fine, but the 6th and 7th flv won't. This is what totally
confuses me.
What I don't understand is if the correct source has been
assigned to the video display control and the correct flv starts
playing, why do i hear sound but no picture?
Could this be some sort of bug in the flash player? I'm using
Adobe Flash Player 9,0,28,0.
If anyone can provide me with some advice/opinions/idea to
give me some sort of clue that would be grand :).
Thanks for your time,
- Tony

I had this problem before. I found that if the VideoDisplay
component had not finished all inititialization functions before I
assigned the new flv, then I got sound with no video. Try listening
for creationComplete for your VideoDisplay component before you
assign the video source to see if that solves your problem.

Cannot get any sound when playing .avi files

Hi All
I am running QT version 6.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and cannot get any sound when playing .avi files but the picture is perfect.
I have installed the following: M-Peg 2 playback component, AVI Components and AC3 component.
Does anyone know if I am missing anything or how I can fix this?
Many thanks
Garry

Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

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.

No sound when playing AVI file

I've looked through the forum and downloaded Perian and DivX and tried deleting the DivX files out of the Quicktime folder, but still no sound when playing one of all my AVI files. If I click on the icon for the video, I can play it through there with sound, but when I actually open the file in Quicktime, there's no sou
This plays sound:
But there's no sound when actually opened.

Did you try both Quicktime applications? There is also Quicktime 7x which is located inside the Utilities folder.
