Kodak C330 audio

nicolesharp100 wrote on 9/9/2025, 4:30 AM

I need to rotate a video recorded from a Kodak C330 compact digital camera. This is an older camera with the video file as MOV format with 320*240 pixel resolution, 20 FPS, and 11.025 kHz audio sampling. The original audiovideo plays fine with VLC Media Player but Magix Video Pro X16 cannot seem to play any audio from this video file type and exported videos do not have any audio. Any help to get audio exported with video for this file format? I could try extracting the audio separately from Audacity perhaps and adding the audio back to the rotated video but that is an extra step I'd like to avoid. Also odd: Magix says this video is 25 FPS but both VLC and Windows 11 File Explorer report it as 20 FPS.

Hi

We need more information on the MOV file encoding formats used for the video and audio.

Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the clips and post the results, see this tutorial on how to setup MediaInfo and analyse a video clip for all the data required.      

Do you have QuickTime for Windows installed?

What is the final destination or /usage of the final video, ie a video file for uploading to the Internet or make a DVD etc.

Hi If you go to the program's Movie Settings and manually change the frame rate and audio to match the files and the press OK then the next time you open the settings they should be correct. Then import your video files.

If you are sill not getting audio then we may have to have a look at the video file data. More instructions on how to do that can come later if this doesn't work for you.

I do not have QuickTime installed. All of the exported files I have tried so far have no audio. I tried several different export formats including WMV which has an option for 1X 20 FPS with 4X 11.025 kHz. Otherwise I was using 3X 20 FPS = 60 FPS and 4X 11.025 kHz = 44.1 kHz for integer multiples of the original settings from Kodak.

Still no audio. I attached here a sample video from the camera. The goal is to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise and then export it in a modern compressed format such as MP4 to share the rotated video. It looks like Apple has discontinued QuickTime for Windows 8 and newer but still has an installer available for Windows 7. Not sure if that will help Magix though. VLC Media Player can play the original file no problem.

Nicole, could you upload one of the videos to Google Drive or similar file-sharing site and post the link here for us to analyse. In the worst case, it's easy to convert them to a format Magix can handle for editing.

Hi.

The last version of QuickTime for Windows still works on the latest version of Windows. I have it installed with no problems. Whether Magix will take advantage of that for your videos or not I don't know. You can only try. It's also easy to uninstal if it doesn't work.

Players do not have to re-encode video and for whatever reason video editors often won't play videos easily played on players like VLC.

Microsoft Copilot suggested to re-encode the audiovideo with FFMPEG before importing to Magix. I haven't tried that yet but might be easier than trying to compile the video and audio separately after rotating.

Hi

Thansk for the video clip.

Quicktime does not help with this video.

. . . . Otherwise I was using 3X 20 FPS = 60 FPS and 4X 11.025 kHz = 44.1 kHz for integer multiples of the original settings from Kodak . . . .

That is not how increasing the framerate works, it just adds, in some cases, repeated frames or interpolates the missing frames from the 'real frames' to make up the requiaite number of frames per second. Audio is unaffected.

. . . . re-encode the audiovideo with FFMPEG . . . .

Use a video converter such as Handbrake or Avidemux, these are much easier to use than FFMPEG.

The issue of the 20fps is in the most somewhat irrelevant. A Handbrake conversion to 320 x 240, h.264 video 30 fps with AAC audio at works fine and has audio when imported in to VPX.

@AAProds has tutorials for both converters here is the Handbrake tutorial
