Restore sound on EyeTV MPEG4 AVIs in QuickTime
Authored by: fbitterlich on Dec 04, '06 09:32:31AM

I have no problems with the MPEG-4 files from EyeTV. OTOH they are not AVI files for me; they have the correct .mp4 suffix.

I do stumble across wrongly-named movie files from time to time, having the wrong suffix. Most of them appear to come from the Windows world, so maybe there is a buggy app out there. But "analyzing" the files from the terminal using the command

file whatever.avi
usually reveals the true file type, and renaming them often solves any playback problems.
