I try to play a movie on macbook pro 13 but there is no sound. I dont know why. Please help....
 
There is nothing wrong with the file as i was able to play it on my desktop. I just cant play it with quick time in my macbook pro
 
there is sound if i play one of the apple trailer yes....
i used CCCP on window to play the file and there iss sound.
 
It sounds like a codec issue then. Can you tell us what the audio codec and bit rate are for the file that's giving you problems? TSmuxer should provide this info.

Also, try opening the file in Plex to see if it has audio. It uses ffmpeg, which is the most codec-rich software for Macs.
 
I had use PLex before to play that file. It was good. There was sound but i did not like the fact that i can move the time stream so remove it. Then i tried quick time and no sound.

I was thinking of install Perian. Should i install?
 
I installed Perian and try other movie as well. The sound is fine for other movie. Only one file that i tried to play and we talk about is no sound. It is HD file.

Thanks for your help up until now
 
What is VLC Extended???

When i tried to download VLC there is this thing Universal Binary (41MB), 32 bits Package for Intel-based Macs (18.8MB) and 64 bits Package for Intel-based Macs (18.8MB). What are these thing means???? Which one is good to download and what version is good to use???
 
I'd like to know what VLC Extended is too.

As for your second question, it depends on which kind of Mac you have, and which version of the Mac OS you're running. If your Mac has a Core 2 Duo or newer processor inside and is running Leopard or Snow Leopard, it is able to run the 64-bit Intel Mac build. If it is Intel but older than Core 2 Duo, get the 32-bit Intel Mac build. If your Mac is NOT running Leopard or Snow Leopard, AND is not Intel, you'll want the Universal Binary build.
 
What is VLC Extended???

I didn't say VLC Extended. I said VLC or MPlayer Extended. Two different apps.

When i tried to download VLC there is this thing Universal Binary (41MB), 32 bits Package for Intel-based Macs (18.8MB) and 64 bits Package for Intel-based Macs (18.8MB). What are these thing means???? Which one is good to download and what version is good to use???

Either will work. The universal works on both PPC or Intel Macs as a 32 bit application, while the 64-bit app is only for Intel Macs. Personally, I'd use the 64-bit app.

If your Mac has a Core 2 Duo or newer processor inside and is running Leopard or Snow Leopard, it is able to run the 64-bit Intel Mac build. If it is Intel but older than Core 2 Duo, get the 32-bit Intel Mac build. If your Mac is NOT running Leopard or Snow Leopard, AND is not Intel, you'll want the Universal Binary build.

OP has a 13" MBP. It is C2D and has either Leo or SL on it.
 
Ohhh I see. I have a 13 Macbook Pro. I think the 64 should work so yea.

Thank you for your time and help me.
