  • No sound/audio in MP4 files

    Hi hoping someone here can help out - I use El Capitan 10.11.6 and the audio is missing some MP4 files that I downloaded from a GoPro camera. My sound is fine otherwise, output noise is fine, alert sounds are fine. MOV files off other cameras play well with audio easily here, but I don't hear anything in the files MP4 Quicktime, VLC, Final Cut Pro X, even if in Final Cut Pro X there is an audio waveform on each clip and they were converted to Quicktime using the MPEG stream clip (there no audible sound in the program either). I tried the same files on colleagues Mac running Mavericks and the sound is fine out there so here something to replace or reinstall?

    You run the same exact file on El Capitan and the Mavericks?  Shouldn't be any change unless MPEGstreamclip has been defined to use some esoteric audio codec in the file.  First of all, there is no reason to convert the files off your GoPro.  FCPX will work with native files very well.

    And, if you never convert, use the GoPro Studio app for this.  Nothing I do will have problems with the standard files.

    We use GoPros all the time and didn't have any problems.  What are the settings on the GoPro cameras?

  • iPod Touch cannot play some mp4 files

    I have some video captures for the House that my iTunes will transfer to my iPod Touch saying they cannot be played on this.  The videos play in iTunes, and I see nothing unusual in the file type.

    An MP4 Player is simply a wrapper for video files. There are many variations in the video files that can be encapsulated in a mp4 file. iTunes can play more variations than the iPod.

    I recommend using the hand brake computer free app to convert the file

  • Can only bring a part of my mp4 my events file to my project

    Hello!  I'm new to this forum and the final cut, and I would really appreciate the help.  I do video a moment strong and I have a little game-length mp4 clips in a demonstration on final cut x 10 pro.  However, the clip was in the case where a plate yellow thin around him, even before clicking on it.  When I try to select only that part of the item to drag in my project, the whole clip immediately points out, therefore not allowing me to only use MY strengths.  It is only allowing me to drag in the whole game.

    In the same case that I have another game which is also a mp4 file and it works fine.  I can edit and splice and select parts of it for my taste.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you very much

    Looks like you got the full clip selected. If you want to drag a selection in a selected clip, hold the Option key. You can also use Opt - X to move the selection. Or use I and O to mark in and out points for your choice.

  • iMovie 10 mp4 export will not play in QuickTime format

    Hey team. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.4, and I just finished an 11-minute film project in iMovie 10.1.2. To export the project, I went on the button share, select 'File', recorded in movies, and after finished, I found my film in the appropriate location in the .mp4 format.

    I tried to open the movie in QuickTime and it won't. QuickTime gives me a message 'conversion' and a bar for a moment and then the error message "could not open moviename.mp4 to see if there is additional software that will allow QuickTime Player open the movie in QuickTime player, click on tell me more." When I click on Tell Me More, said Apple's site I'm likely outdated and needing a third party converter.

    What Miss me? What do I need? (So ready to do!) Thanks for any help!

    Hi, Betht.friends,

    Option #1: In the dialog box share, under quality, try to select the best (res pro).  This will give you a movie with a .mov extension.   It will take more time to share and the file size will be much larger, but quality should be better.   See if Quicktime which will play.

    Alternative #2: Use Streamclip free downloads or handbrake to convert your video into Mpeg-4/AAC with H.264 codec.

    #3 solution: Download the latest version of Quicktime.   Keep your old as well.

    I hope this helps.

  • problem in Firefox v37.0.2 Windows 8.1 MP4

    I use Firefox with 4 profiles. One of them does not mp4. What could be the problem?
    When I opened http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4 mp4 it says "Video cannot be played because the file is corrupted.".

  • MP4 is extremely slow in Compressor 3 - upgrade?

    Hello

    I work a lot with the files mp4 (or m4v) and I use a compressor to encode them to the ProRes format - and then to the FCP 7. Currently using Compressor 3.5.3

    The problem: it is extremely slow. When dragging a mp4 file (say about 10 min) causes of compressor to think and reflect and think - and then dragging the parameters is the same. Compressor 4 is more favourable to mp4 files and would be faster? Or is it my computer which makes it slow?

    The MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Thank you

    BTW, what I'm trying to do is to convert mkv in ProRes files. I do it in two steps: first Handbreak, then compressor. It is a tedious process, so if anyone has a better solution I would be happy to hear.

    If your Mac is the "thought", my guess is that it is not your version of the compressor or your MBP this os the cause. The source file - maybe something suspicious on the handbrake conversion

    A plain vanilla MP4 to transcode Pro Res must be handled smoothly by Compressor 3.5 - and fill a bit faster than real time.

    Try this. Take a one minute or two QuickTime movie and convert it to MP4. Now that import compressor and transcode to Pro Res.  OK it works?

    Also, check that your system drive has sufficient free space - say, a minimum of 10 to 15%.  And make sure that your destination disk has of space as well.

    Your question about compressor 4, the answer is Yes. The latest version (4.2) is quite a bit faster than 3.5 - especially for fairly new Mbps and iMacs. It is also an improvement by other means - including options for extended encoding, greater stability and ease of use. (But keep in mind that there is no shipment to capacity of compressor from FCP 7 4.2.)

    Good luck. Post back and we do know.

  • How can I make videos mp4 play in Firefox?

    YouTube works fine. Websites to play videos, no problem.
    But then I'll go to a site and see a message stating that the video is either damaged or is not supported.
    When I search how to play mp4 in Firefox, I find myself on this site:
    http://www.jwplayer.com/blog/the-State-of-HTML5-Firefox-now-supports-MP4/
    With the huge headline MP4 supports Firefox now.
    No, it * ing is not!
    A little frustrated, because everywhere I look for help on this point, I met pages saying this should work, Firefox supports mp4 etc, GOLD forums where we webmakers ask the question and then the solution is something wrong in their codes - that doesn't help me, the lonely end user.
    When I go to this suggested test site: http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4
    I get the error message: unable to listen to video because the file is corrupted.
    No, it isn't. I can download and play on WinAmp.
    When I go to this suggested test site: http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/
    I get the error: no video with format supported and MIME the type found.
    Huh? Once again, I can download and play it fine.
    But he won't play Firefox.
    so
    Is there a fix in the wind?
    Is there something I can tweak or change to make Firefox recognize and play this sort of thing?
    Y at - it a plugin/extension/addon that I should download to read mp4?
    If this is a known issue that will be fixed later, is there something I can do as a substitute (IE a plugin for now)?
    Because it seems that the only alternative is to give up Firefox and start using Chrome, which has no problem with the above videos.

    You may need this in case you have no support for MP4 files:

    Also, make sure that these preferences have the default value:

  • Local MP4 files always open with Firefox's built-in video player

    I believe before Firefox 35, I was able to open the local links to mp4 files and Firefox would ask me what to do (open, save, etc.). Local links to files mp4 always open in the embedded video player on Firefox with no option to do otherwise. I tried setting "media.windows - media - foundation.enabled' to 'false' and it has no effect on the local links to files mp4." All the other common video formats, I've tested (avi, mpg, wmv) ask me what for, as this is the expected behavior.

    To reproduce:

    1.) enter URL: file:///path/to/video.mp4
    2.) observes that the file opens in the video player built-in with no option to do otherwise

    Hello, please put media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to his default preference and try to activate media.play - stand alone false instead.
