P: No sound/audio when playing mts video

Most people would be willing to pay for an upgrade. But to spend that much money and have something that puts the photographer 10 weeks behind in delivering their product with no easy way to diagnose the problem is very frustrating. I am still looking for the right product. This is not it.

Having the same problems....Adobe needs to step up and resolve this issue!
I teach Photoshop and Lightroom........how do you explain this to multiple classes? Thanks for posting your work around.

John Fitzpatrick, thanks for your comments. I have exactly the same problems and concerns over lack of Dolby 5.1 channel support.

Adobe sales literature and technical specifications should be more explicit about file formats and codec which are and are not supported. On-line interaction should include "Dobly 5.1 audio not supported" messages...but, better yet, Adobe should just pay the Dolby license fee and include this capability! The price tag on LR4 is high enough that it should include common audio formats such as this!

Have heard anything from Adobe, learned of any second-party solutions, or discovered a workaround? I share your frustration!

I bought the MTS converter and batch converted all my .MTS's. They work in Lightreoom and Final Cut ProX.
I think the problem is in the surround sound feature. Next time out I will set the camera to just two channel sound.

HI:

Are there plans to remove this copyright restriction?

Thanks

No Audio when playing back Video in LR 4 and LR 4.1 RC. (The rest of LR4 is flawless)

This affect .mov .avi .mts files (All files play back without issue in VLC player, Quicktime and Mindows Media Player. No other issues with audio on this PC (WIN 7 64bit, i7 quad core, 8GB ram)

Lightroom shows up in Windows Volume Mixer (see attached screen grab) but no sound is fed through to soundboard.

I try to import my AVCHD (.mts) video, it works. I can watch them in LR but I don’t get any audio. If I export the files in “native” format, audio is working. LR4.1 (and 4.0) over Leopard doesn't output any sound, even on any transformation inside. Any help?

Thanks

I am about to shell out money to buy a third party MTS converter. Does Photoshop have a recommendation of what to buy or whare to look? I tried Aiseesoft and it seems to work for files in Lightroom and in Final Cut Pro X but I see bad reviews about the company and spyware.

You would think at very least it could playback left/right audio. The video runs fine after importing, but you can only hear the audio with the windows media player. I'm a little suprised the the free windows OS player can playback the files, but the lightroom application can not.

Has there been any movement on this issue? I have a Panasonic camcorder which records to .mts2 files with 5.1 channel audio. I get audio on all other types of video files in Lightroom, but not from my camcorder which is a HUGE frustration for me. I was so excited to see that there was finally a program which would allow me to sort and tag my video files like I do with my pictures. But the no audio issue makes it completely useless. What good are nicely sorted and tagged video files without sound?

Adobe either needs to say (Before purchase of the software) "This only supports ..." or needs to needs to work to ensure all the Adobe product line supports the same codecs. The same video files play audio just fine in Premier CS4 & 5. My problem is I am now in the range of 2TB of video files from my camcorder and I want to tag/sort them using the awesome functionality of Lightroom. So close to a perfect piece of software, this is the only issue I have and am really looking forward to getting this issue addresses.

I would be happy to assist in any testing/trouble shooting for this issue.

Thanks for all the work you've put into this.
