Anyone else have a Flip Video camera & a Mac?
I do. You need to install an additional codec to get the sound. The installer is on the camera, or you can download it from here
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Rob, is that the Dec 2007 update? If it is I've already installed it (a few times), but I'll bookmark your link and try again when I get home.
I'm not sure, I just go the camera a few weeks ago. I didn't install the editing software, but I think I did install the codec. I'll take a look at the camera when I get home and tell you exactly which file I installed.
I've had mine since January (and I installed the software w/ the codec then), and it only just this past weekend started giving me problems.
Rob, I just got this from Flip support:
We have recently become aware of some compatibility issues revolving around Flip Video and the latest QuickTime update. With the release of QuickTime 7.4.5, Apple introduced a coding change which has affected the audio format of the Flip Video Program. Apple is aware of the issues and is working to resolve it. In parallel, Flip Video is working with Apple to better understand the issue and see if we can expedite a solution from our side.
QT 7.4.5 was a much bigger update than the version number would indicate. There were lots of changes under the hood, mostly to improve security.
Hmmm, I must not have installed that Quicktime update yet, as I had sound.
I have a shiny new(ish) MacBook Pro.
Yay.
Sweet! Bring it with you tonight when we watch mooooovies!
And now it's a happy, up to date computer!
