quicktime pro 7

I've just installed quicktime pro and having heaps of fun playing around.
I have struck a problem I'm having heaps of trouble with and that is when exporting movies I've downloaded off my digital camera, I dont get any sound on the final export. It also says when creating exports as MPEG4 that there is no audio on the original moviw - which aint so. Is there something really basic I'm missing here?

-Hi,
Here is a thread where -ft finds a method.. click here I had the same snag with my Sony digital camera, and NOT getting the sound into iMovie. The dang file was muxed, and I believe I used AudioHijack to record the audio, and then placed it into iTunes.Then w/ the video in iMovie it was easy to import the sound from iTunes. Its been some time since de-muxing mpeg files so its a little blurry. Anyway, it works once you seperate the video, and audio. There might even be an easier way today...

Re: quicktime pro 7

This application will probably do what you need and demux the file:

MPEG Streamclip

Re: quicktime pro 7

thanks for that - I've got it and have been playing round with it.
I cant quite get it to demux into a format i can work with. I open the application
and open the 12meg muxed movie, and want to export the file with sound (which the MPEG has). I have tried exporting as demuxed (the various options)and it's getting me no closer. I have no idea what an M2V file is but I cant open it, even though it spilts the file (the AIFF I can open).
Is there a straightforward way of doing this. All I really wanna do is export larger files into emailable smaller files, but I just cant get the sound on the export....
I really apprreciate all advice thus far

Try exporting from Streamclip to DV and then import it to iMovie. My recollection is that the sound will be included.

Re: quicktime pro 7

You might have to buy the MPEG2 Playback software from Apple. MPEG-2 Playback Component

I assume M2V is MPEG-2 Video but I don't know for sure. Maybe you should try a different export. I tend to use DV because I'm usually using iMovie with the file.
