Re: Re sounds disabled when trying to export




I'm still struggling with this one. I just can't get the Audio checkbox in the Export settings dialog to be initially checked. Any other suggestions would be great ...


   cheers,
          m.

Hi Geoff,

sorry. I should have read Ivan's original post more carefully. I've seen the ipod export note, and I know what you're referring to - in Ivan's case, he was on the wrong track.

However, I am not trying to export specifically to ipods. This is a generic movie export.

My model is ThreadsExportMovie.

I know that with some settings, this will not export audio (or at least it doesn't for me), but I've got those set correctly ...

Hi Martin,

You are on the wrong track here.

The only way to export from QuickTime for the iPod is to use the iPod export component, which has no user controllable settings and therefore no dialog.
Currently you have to create a movie (Flip4Mac should work for this) and export that movie using the iPod export component which is specifically set up to create files that will load and play in an iPod. You should not need to and should not use MovieExportSetSettingsFromAtomContainer - it can only mess things up. The same is true for iPhone and appleTV exports.


Hope that helps,

Let me a be a bit more precise about that.

The atomcontainer that I'm passing into MovieExportSetSettingsFromAtomContainer before calling MovieExportDoUserDialog looks like this:

AtomContainer: 5 children

'vide' Children: 6 (6 children)
    'sptl'
     ...
    'hegt'

'envi' <01> (0 children)

'enso' <01> (0 children)

'save' Children: 1 (1 children)
    'fast'

'soun' <> (0 children)

If I check the sound checkbox in the export settings, I get the settings shown below afterwards. If I don't check the checkbox, then I get an identical structure, except that the 'enso' atom is absent after the dialog (I misspoke when I mentioned kQTSettingsSound in my previous post).

If I don't run the settings dialog at all, and just export using the setting above directly, everything seems ok, except that I get no sound.

AtomContainer: 6 children

 'vide' Children: 17 (17 children)
     'sptl'
      ...
     'hegt'

'isiz' Children: 7 (7 children)
     'iwdt'
      ...
     'uenf'

'soun' Children: 5 (5 children)
     'ssct'
     'ssrt'
     'ssss'
     'sscc'
     'vers'

'envi' <01> (0 children)

'enso' <01> (0 children) <<<< This one is absent if the sound checkbox is unchecked

'save' Children: 2 (2 children)
     'fast'
     'ssty'

I've run into exactly the same problem as Ivan below. I can't get the Audio checkbox in the Export settings dialog to be initially checked.


Jan E. Schotsman suggested in a follow-up inspecting the atoms before and after the settings dialog to see what's changed. I tried that.

The only difference I could spot was that the kQTSettingsSound atom was populated when the export sound checkbox was ticked in the dialog.

Does this mean I need to pre-populate kQTSettingsSound before opening the settings dialog? That seems a little bit extreme when all I want to do is get the checkbox ticked.

kQTSettingsMovieExportEnableSound just seems to control the enablement of the checkbox, not whether its checked or not.

I've been banging my head on this problem for days and searched all over for an answer but I'm stumped. I'm hoping someone can help me out.


I'm trying to write a simple program to automate a daily conversion of a WMV (with the Flip4Mac codecs installed) file into an M4V file that can be played on my iPod. As a reference I've been using the ThreadsExport sample code and modifying it for my use, and largely it has been working fine. However, the problem that I'm having is that when I initially load the WMV both video and audio work fine, but when I try to export (without using the export dialog) the video comes through fine but no sound.

In trying to troubleshoot, I reenabled the export dialog to see what settings are being made and sure enough, whenever I try to export the video checkbox is enabled but the Sound is disabled (although it can be enabled if I click on it by hand, so it is at least possible). I've tried everything that I can think of but no matter what I do programmatically the Sound checkbox is disabled by default. I'm inserting an atom for kQTSettingsMovieExportEnableSound, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I should note that if I use the QuickTime player to load and export the movie, it (both video and audio) exports fine, so there doesn't seem to be any technical reason why this shouldn't work.

Here's the (what I believe to be the most relevant) chunk of code - if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd be grateful.
