Howdy.

I'm trying to take some quicktime mpegs/mov's into imovie to finally do
something with them. But I lose audio, whether dragging them in or
exporting to any format.

General internet search says the audio and video are muxed, which causes
the problem. And they all recommend getting 'another program' to do
the conversion. Unfortunately, no one recommends any program (at least
none on the mac side)

Anyone find a program that can handle this dilemma?

thanks

ffmpegX (tools tab), MPEG2Works (tools tab), bbdemux, and a bunch of
others will let you demux. Alternatively, you can use ffmpegX to
convert directly to DV Stream for use in iMovie.

If you have an MPEG-2 file and the QT MPEG-2 plug-in, you can also use
MPEG Streamclip to convert it directly to DV Stream for use in iMovie
(with the other solutions, you end up with two files that need to be
kept in sync when you put them into iMovie).
