There's no audio for this file in VideoStudio X7. I couldn't get audio to work in Windows Media Player either, so I installed K-Lite codecs. This fixed the issue in WMP but still there is no audio in VideoStudio X7. I do have QuickTime 7.7.6 installed. The properties for the file in VSX7 list the audio compression as "DVI IMA".

If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it.

I decided to not bother messing around too much with my codecs any longer, so I threw together a quick batch file to run the MOV files from the Polaroid Cube through ffmpeg and convert the audio to a high bitrate mp3. These files then worked fine in VideoStudio.

Code: Select all

for %%a in ("*.mov") do "%~dp0\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec mp3 -ab 320k "%%~na.mp4"
pause
just through that in the ffmpeg directory and drag & drop a file on it... it cycles through all mov files in the same directory and converts them to mp4 containers with the mp3 audio.
