I'm running CentOS 6. The audio goes in and out a lot. With vlc, I can sometimes get the audio back by turning the audio track off and on again. I have similar issues with a/v embedded in html.
Any suggestions on how to diagnose this?
Could you elaborate about "the audio goes in and out a lot"?
It just cuts out.
Of videos on my computer, the problem might be for a single mp4 file. The cut outs occurs at scene changes, most of which are between grayscale and color.
A facebook friend sent me a video that used to have sound. Now it's quiet and shorter. I don't have enough time to try to turn sound off and on. I'm going to look for some other embedded video to check.
Now I wonder whether my video software has gotten more sensitive to malformed data. Don't remember when vlc was last updated. ls -l tells me Jan 4, but I'm pretty sure that is wrong. I'll try to find it in my yum logs. Is there a tool that will try to clean a bad mp4 video?
