No sound plays with the UE 4 intro movie

Are you running it as an actual movie or as a media texture inside the game? There are multiple different audio formats that you can have within an mp4 (also mov and mp4 are exactly the same thing, just change the filetype directly and it will still work), commonly with mov since it’s an apple version of the mp4 codec they will have AAC audio which unreal wont play. Since I normally work with multiple media assets inside a game I actually just split out the audio and video and get them to play at the same time through blueprints. I have found this to be the most foolproof way to make sure they go correctly as I have issues with the audio on my windows 10 machine too.

I am playing the .mp4’s as startup movies.

One problem I discovered was that, as above, the conversion process removed the audio. However, a converted file with audio does not play at all.

Research on the web seems to indicate that UE4’s MoviePlayer is very picky.

I’ll try changing the extension of the original as you suggest.

Thanks all, for the suggestions.
