Why can't I play Quicktime video in my I-Movie?

I can take video with my still digital camera. I upload it to I-Photo and it plays just fine with QuickTime. Then I import it into my I-Movie and the video is there but there is no sound.
To add to what Mayahyuk asked, are you also using a previous version of iMovie '08 or performing a manual QT conversion of iMovie '08? As previously indicated, Sony video clips when imported to previous versions of iMovie or when converted by QT. This is because Sony stores its video in a "muxed" format that is only playback supported by QT. Previous versions of iMovie automatically convert such files for editing as part of the import process losing the audio. (Manually converting the files in QT applications does also loses the audio.)
Can I do something to make the sound play?
In the case of Sony's MPEG-1 clips, simply use an MPEG-based, third-party conversion application to convert the video arnd retain the audio. Applications like iSquint (free), MPEG Streamclip (free), FFmpegX (donation-ware), Visual Hub (pay-ware), etc. will handle this.
i would also love to know the solution to this, since i have tons of videos i can do nothing with...
iSquint would likely help in your case as you can drop "handfuls" of clips to the "batch" processing window and allow it to automatically convert each in turn on its own.

Eric-
QuickTime is capable of playing more video formats than the iPad. The iPad can play M4V, MP4 and some MOV format videos. It can not play formats like WMV and FLV.
One thing you can do is to convert the video formats on your computer.
A free program that can do it is HandBrake, which is available for both PC and Macintosh at <Download>.

Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.
Cheers

Thank you Phil0124, I think that is the problem.
I don't understand computers etc very well but had a suspicion that this was the problem I just needed to hear it from someone who knew what they were talking about.
I am going to contact my internet provider. Thank you.

Why can't I play my videos on iPhone 6 without requiring an Internet connection?!?! This is absolutely FKSKFIEDJ absurd and apple better come up with a solution.

Seriously, how much of a stupid iinconvenience is this? Why should I require a connection to play the videos I've recorded on my phone?

Hi
Could I ask a couple of questions please?
It would almost seem from your description that the video is not completely or correctly recorded or that it is some how corrupted. From your description it appears that with the internet connection on - you are able to stream but not play it otherwise
1. Is this just one affected video or is it happening with other videos as well?
2. Any chance you can delete and re record the video and see if that solves the problem?

I was making a joke about p**n videos. There are innumerable video codecs out there and only a few of them have Mac versions. The authors don't care if Mac users can't view the video, because they don't care if anyone can view the video. They just want Windows users to download and install the codec and, more importantly, the virus that comes with it. Why make a Mac-compatibile codec when the true payload, the virus, won't work on a Mac?

Why can't I play VEVO videos with McTube Pro on my iPad?

Until recently VEVO music videos would play fine on my iPad and iPhone 5 with McTube Pro. I only noticed this week that they won't play anymore besides the ones I have already saved to the cache.
I get this error every time I try to access any VEVO video or channel.
"Playback Failed. You do not have permission to access the requested resource."
Since I have tried numerous times on two iOS devices and it doesn't work on either of them, I assume it's nothing to do with my devices specifically.
The videos work on the YouTube app and YouTube itself, just not McTube Pro. I wouldn't mind so much if only YouTube didn't have so many ads, some that can't even be skipped.

Thanks. 16 people and many more have this issue as well, so I have no doubt that it's not my iPad.
I checked the app store and saw that they have now removed the paying feature, so it's an entirely free app now. I'm also told I have never downloaded this app despite having it on all my devices, so I suspect it is being treated as a new app after those updates. That would explain why some people ended up paying twice at first.
I'm afraid that the issue won't ever be resolved now that they have stopped working on the "old" McTube Pro that, for many of us, still supports caching.

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?
