Hello.

I purchased quicktime pro 7 and the mpeg-2 playback option. I can open VOB files with QT 7 Pro w/mpeg-2 playback, but there is no audio.

I am trying to convert my companies 7-min. DVD to a MOV for the web, but the audio does not playback. There is only one "large" file that could possibly contain the audio, which is the VOB file in the ts_video folder. There is a ts_audio folder on the DVD, but nothing is shown in the folder. Is it hidden. I used terminal to look at the ts_audio folder and nothing was there that I could see.

ANY help you might offer up is greatly appreciated.

Try your luck with Mpeg Steam Clip:

Should do it

Audio from DVDs are usually AC3 or PCM. Quicktime can't play either. As suggested you can use MPEG Streamclip to demux audio to AIFF that you can then encode to MP3 or M4A with iTunes. You can use Quicktime Pro to encode the video to something else (like H.264 if you want), though QT doesn't do deinterlacing. But MPEG Streamclip does deinterlacing, so you can use that to encode the video if you want.

QuickTime is just a player, MOV is just a wrapper. It can play anything if the correct codec/component is present. I don't have a problem playing WMV, DivX, or anything else with QuickTime player and using it to export them to other formats as needed. Here is the AC3 component.

QT Player will not play PCM or AC3 audio which is in an MPEG/VOB file no matter what codecs are installed. It might in the future (heck, I haven't even tried QT7 but something tells me that won't either).

(And as the issue wasn't mov files but importing files from DVDs, the advice I gave was aimed to answer that question.)

The Squared5 geezer (whoever he maybe) doesn't even advertise for donations. He (I assume) must just be sound (and suitably clever)
