Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Camileo H30 cam recorder and am having trouble with how to view and edit these files on a mac. I've been researching for days and don't seem to be much closer to a solution... just a tad confused with all this talk of various codecs etc.
I've read elsewhere that the files need to be converted before they will be able to be edited in iMovie and was recommended MPEG Streamclip for this... but my movie clips don't play with any sound in Streamclip (and converted clips don't have sound either). To be honest I don't really know what I'm doing with converting... I've tried a few different things... but I really need to get the audio working before I even get that far!
No sound when I try to play them in Quicktime, either.
These are .avi files, and as far as I can gather, the video codec is H264 and the audio codec is mp4a.
I've installed Perian but it hasn't helped with the audio (before installing it I couldn't even get a visual for MPEG Stremclip or Quicktime!).
I really hope that there is an answer out there...! Any ideas on what I could try next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
