I've just updated from Nero 6 to Nero 8. I have several hundreds of Quicktime files I want to put together in movies to burn a DVD. With Nero 8 some (not all) of the movies come out without any sound when either played on Nero Show Time or when imported to Nero Vision to create the movie. The movies play ok in Windows Media, Quicktime, Real Player, etc. This is the basic information of a file that "works" and a file that "doesn't work" (according to the Quicktime Player)
This file works: MPEG-4, 640x480, miu-law 2:1, Mono, 16 Khz, 30.17 fps This file does not work: Foto JPEG, 640 x 480, miu-law 2.1, Mono, 8 Khz, 15.00 fps
Clearly the file type (MPGEG vs Foto JPEG) seems to be the big difference.
but apart from that it looks like nero doesnt have a codec for foto jpeg type audio as you say the video on both are seen. perhaps nero doesnt like 8khz
you must have the codec on your pc for players to see it, just nero hasnt.
drop the file into gspot see what info it goes you there.
also try updating quicktime/codecs
did nero v6 work?
may need to convert the file in another app to a recognized file for nero...
That's what frustrates me. Nero 6 used to work just fine with those movies. gspot tries the same codec combination for both files, but the one that doesn't work on Nero, doesn't seem to work on gspot either. This is the audio codec information I've got from gspot:

Any ideas? If this is really a codec issue, any suggestion on what program should I use to convert the file? I use to do it with Nero :(
