• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

No sound on certain video files

I just bought this Imac not three weeks ago.

For some reason, the AUDIO on some video files won't play on my computer anymore. I have one mpg file of a music video I downloaded from limewire that is suddenly silent after working perfectly before, and I have had this file for a week or so and watched it a few times with no problem with the sound.

But the interesting thing is NO video on youtube or dailymotion will play any audio. I haven't tried video from other sites yet. This literally happened over night. One night I was watching lots of videos from youtube without problem, and the next night NO AUDIO. Of course I tried just about everything and anything to correct it that I could think of but nothing works. I have no idea what to do.

However, video that I have on an external HD plays fine, even when I transfer it to my HD. HELP!

BTW I use flip4mac to play wmv files, don't know if that's important, but I thought to mention it.
