Windows 7 + mts-files: No sound

[chrisly]

Hi.

When looking mt2s-Files with XnView on a Windows7-PC there is no sound (Vista: no problems).
Playing mt2s-files with VLC, KM-Player ... on Windows 7-PC: sound ok!

Has anyone else this problem?
Is it a bug?

Thanks for help!

No Windows 7-User here?
Or isn´t it a Win7-problem?

Hi.

I´ve now installled XnView 1.97.8.
Still no sound ...

[chrisly]

Now I´m back from 2 weeks snorkeling in Egypt - with more than 2000 pictures and mts-videos.
It´s great that mts-playback now works with Xn-View - but still without sound. What´s the problem? My PC or XnView + Windows 7 + mts?

Please help me - it would be easier to get an overview if XnView works with sound!

Edit: the mts-playback with XnView works, but only haltingly (I hope you understand what I mean - sorry for my poor English).
The same Video played with VLC or KM-Player: no problems (it´s not a hardware-problem!).

Could you send me a MTS file please?

You can try one of this:

I use ffmpeg codec, and i have sound with this mts (win 7)

That´s interesting! So the problem isn´t Windows 7!

But XnTriq wrote this:

That's why I don't trust codec packs. With the mixture of their installing so many utilities and all the other things that people have on their PCs, you end up many possible routes that can be taken to play a file. Then when something doesn't work because a preferred route causes a conflict or something, it's difficult to pull them apart and force the player to use a particular method.

Better to keep it clean and install something like FFDshow that does most things, and then a few extra splitters and codecs that are needed in addition when you come across them.

But basically it's a minefield!

• Wikipedia: AVCHD » Codecs
• Add AVCHD/M2TS Support to Windows Media Player 11 and Windows Media Center
  Note: Windows 7 has native support for AVCHD/M2TS videos so do not use this patch with the Windows 7 as it will screw things up, this is useful only to XP/Vista.

After that warning I´m afraid to install new codecs.
I think it should work without installing new codecs cause Win7 has native support for AVCHD. And it works with WMP, VLC ...
Only with XnView: no sound

Maybe you can modify XnView? That would be great!!!

Have you tried the other MS media player? The one which existed from the Win2k era (productive looking, less chrome). Not w.m.p. version 12. If it also has no sound, there is likely a codec, settings problem.

How can I try it on W7?

Oh, the old player (wmp6.4) isn't in recent OS according to Wikipedia article, Windows Media Player.

Hi.

Now I´ve installed the new version 1.98.5.
And everytime I install a new version I hope for sound when playing mts-files in XnView - without success.
Vista=sound / Win7=no sound
It could be so beautiful ...

The problem is not XnView, it use installed codec...

The problem is not XnView, it use installed codec...

But it works with VLC, WMP, KMPLayer ...
Maybe XnView is using a "wrong" codec?
I´ve tried everything (installing new codecs ...). Now I´ve no more ideas.
Maybe you can find a way to change something in XnView?
