When I download a video from Youtube (flv) and play it with VLC it works fine. When I export it from iMovie the video works fine on other programs but the sound is gone. Any idea what's going on with the audio part of the file?  SignatureCheers! Dennis Remove 'Elle-Kabong' to reply > When I download a video from Youtube (flv) and play it with VLC it works > fine.

If you used Share->Export using QuickTime..., the Options button for a number of formats takes you to a dialog in which it is possible to enable or disable audio. Double-check you settings! >> When I download a video from Youtube (flv) and play it with VLC it works >> fine.

Double-check you settings! I tried looking through that but it seems when I import an flv file to iMovie the sound just vanishes. Doesn't even play in there either by importing or dragging the file over. Totally lost on this one (for now)... SignatureCheers!

I have some flv files I created using Final Cut. iMovie won't let me import those at all! QuickTime Player also refuses to open them. This is using iMovie 7.1.1 and the latest QuickTime player. I suggest you use iMovie->Provide Feedback to request a fix! > Hmm... I have some flv files I created using Final Cut. iMovie won't > let me import those at all!

Thanks to you and the rest who suggested that one. It's odd as I had it installed yet not the latest version but it works now. And of course there's always another problem. When I upload the file to my website it works fine on the Mac side but that file won't play on Windows... SignatureCheers!

Does your windows site have Flash installed? SignatureW. Oates > >> Hmm... I have some flv files I created using Final Cut. iMovie won't > >> let me import those at all!

I don't think the standard Flash browser plugin loads and plays .flv files directly. You could always have alternatives such as QuickTime and whatever is current on Windows (.wmv? .mpeg? - don't know, don't really care!) If you have Adobe Flash (the actual authoring tool), you can create a .swf object that can be embedded in an html page, which will make it possible for users to view your .flv files without having to install extra plugins. There are numerous skins available in the Flash environment that allow you to create simple video players very easily, without a great deal of background knowledge. > > >> When I download a video from Youtube (flv) and play it with VLC it works > > >> fine.

You need to get the right codec to allow FLV import. For example, Perian includes such codec (see www.versiontracker.com for more information on where to get it) > This is using iMovie 7.1.1 and the latest QuickTime player. > > I suggest you use iMovie->Provide Feedback to request a fix! > I tried looking through that but it seems when I import an flv file to iMovie > the sound just vanishes.
