I have a video file that works correctly when viewed on PREVIEW, audio and video goes along with no problem, but when playing it on Quicktime the audio stops a few seconds after i press play, or if i forward or rewind the video the audio will only play for a few seconds. The interesting thing is that it does not happen with Preview, just QuickTime.
Any help would be thanked.
Macbook Pro 13.3", Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2.53 GHz
I am have the same problem. This is also the first time I have used QuickTime after installing Lion.
same problem here, i'm using perian for codecs.
Just to complement to the original post, im using Perian, Divx, and Flip4Mac codecs, they all used to work just fine on Snow Leopard, so this issue is estrictrly assigned to Lion. Any idea about how to fix it?
I am simply trying to play Quick Time videos and I don't know anything about codecs, or Divx or other technical aspects. I am, however, having the same problem. If I click on the diamond of the progress bar while the video is playing, I get a few seconds of audio. Problem started with installation of Lion. Using Quick Time 10.1. Thanks for any help in getting my sound back.

i tried deleting codecs from Library/Quicktime, with or without subtitles, i uninstalled the qt7, the problem is still there. the thing is, that the sample movie that i have plays with sound, no problem there.
i just looked at the codecs of the avis and now i'm perplexed. I have two avi files with the same video codec, same audio codec, one plays in qtx with sound, the other plays sounds for about 1 sec, than no sound.
I have the exact same problem, it all worked fine untill I upgraded to Lion the other day.
I have deleted all codecs except ones that are Perian, its is very frustrating.
I had the same problem. Theres something wrong with the audio things in Lion. My audio doesnt work at all (MacBookPro mid 09) unless I plug headphones and then take them off. Thats really wierd.
Anyways the reason I created an account for these support ages was to inform you guys that use VLC player. That's how I watched my movie. Quicktime can play most of vids I have, but some need to be played with something else and I have used VLC for those vids 🙂
same problem, ***?
So no-one has a fix after all this time? I'm just now having exactly the same problem with a newly bought Macbook Air with Lion. The video sound plays fine in preview and on VLC but not on Quicktime. I stops after a second or two.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this?
Same problem. just ran into it. VLC works fine. whenever i jump around on a clip in QT the audio will play for a few seconds before going silent.
Hi everybody!
I've the same problem here, and I'm pretty sure it started after uninstalling the DivX codecs (downloaded from the DivX site).
I'm using Lion and QuickTime 10.1 on a MBPro 13" Early 2011.
Thank you all, I hope these information will be useful for someone who can help us!
Hi everyone,
I have been having the same issue even with the latest updates of Snow Leopard, and it continued after updating to Lion. Non of the latest OS X updates seem to address this issue so far, however, I found a work around using a free piece of software called Remux. It mainly re-codes the Audio format of the video file, allowing qt10 to read it propply.
The good thing about it, is that it does not take more than 2 minutes to re-code a 2 hour movie, unlike many other other converters that take longer time to convert the file.
Hope this helps.
Audio stops after around 2 seconds, but it works fine on preview.
