QT Pro.mov Records with No Sound

[bjast]

I have a QT Pro movie which plays perfectly in QuickTime, and plays perfectly in Toast 8 preview. But when I burn it to DVD, or make a disk image of it, there is no audio.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sorry for the need for clarification, but should I delete the original Audio track from movie properties once I have pasted the new audio into the movie, using 'Add to Selection & Scale'?

 

Thanks,

I don't think it will matter either way. As I vaguely recall I simply unchecked the box next to the original audio file so that it wasn't active. Trim a small clip of your movie if you want to do a quick test.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i've been there and done that and it did not fix the issue.

 

Any other suggestions?

What description does Toast give the Audio portion of the QuickTime movie? When Toast starts encoding the video what is the extension that Toast gives the audio file that it writes to the Roxio Converted Items folder?

[bjast]

In the Toast area where the original file is located to burn to a DVD, the Video reads:

 

H.264, 1024 x 768, 23.80 fps

 

The Audio portion reads:

 

Audio: Movie

 

Hope this helps

Yes, that explains it. However, I don't know how to explain it properly. The audio doesn't seem to be multiplexed with the video so Toast doesn't see the audio tracks separately from the video track. I came across this in someone else's post a couple months ago but don't remember where that thread is.

 

Here's what I suggest. Open the movie in QT Pro. Choose Movie Properties. Select the Audio and click the Extract button. A new file opens with only the audio. Choose Select All and Copy. Go back to the movie and choose select all and Add to Selection and Scale. This should add a separate audio track in the movie properties list. Choose Save As to save this version of your movie. This should work with Toast.

 

I suggest testing this with a small clip of the movie so you don't have to waste time waiting for the files to be written and encoded.

Usually the problem with no sound can be solved by installing the A52Codec available Here.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Unfortunately, when I open QT Pro and view the properties of the file it already shows a seperate track for the audio. With properties I listed above.

 

Hmm

Yes, I know. That's how it was when I tested with a file like yours a couple months ago. I needed to extract that audio and reapply it. So give my suggestion a try.
