Q: No sound on movie?

I have just changed over from PC to Mac and still coming to grips with the differences.

I ahve tried to play some of my movies and some are fine but others have no sound?

Any ideas?

Thanks

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Might need to download the correct codec. Try downloading and installing Perian from perian.org.

It could be the encoding of the audio on those movies.
See how they play in VLC. It plays almost anything. http://www.videolan.org
