playback of MP4 - no sound

b0bcat wrote on 5/22/2009, 9:15 PM

Sony Vaio TX5MN running Windows XP, SP3 and updates, Movies on DVD 7, 7.0.3.7, MP4 bought and paid for and activated.

Product Selection Box in query input does not list *Movies on DVD 7*.

Won't play sound on any  MP4 downloaded from google video nor for an flv converted to mp4 using prism video converter. Sample MP4 codes and other file data via MediaInfo is as follows.  Sound card recognised and volumes correctly adjusted. Prism and Quickview  play the MP4s OK as does iPod Nano. Solution?
