Problem with writing audio

Hey there. I’m experiencing a problem when writing audio. If I call .to_videofile with audio=False, then there is no problem. My videopy version number is 0.2.1.8.02.

The video I’m working with is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iepmbyieferjbay/test.MP4

The code is here:

clip = mp.VideoFileClip('../snowsports/test.MP4').subclip(220,224)
clip.to_videofile("test-short.MP4")

There error message is:

MoviePy: building video file test-short.MP4

Now merging video and audio:

IOError: 

I’ve also tried explicitly specifying the codec as ‘mpeg4’. I’m not sure if that makes any difference, but the result is the same.

This worked for me to get the file to play in Quicktime/iMovie:

clip.write_videofile(out_path, 
  codec='libx264', 
  audio_codec='aac', 
  temp_audiofile='temp-audio.m4a', 
  remove_temp=True
)

On the videogrep page they say to install ffmpeg with

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis

But you should give up with libvorbis and try to understand why it doesn’t even work with mp3, that would be simpler. You said there is no sound: with what software are you playing it ? Could you try playing it with VLC and see if there is still no sound ?
