iMovie import has no sound

[Mwanahabari]

I have a video camera which is two years old and on my older macmini, video imports with audio with no problem. However, my brand new MacBook pro imports the picture but no sound.
Importing video shot on my iPhone is fine but does anyone know why it isn't working properly and how to fix this?

Audio codec problem most likely. The audio codec (or compression) used by the video camera is probably not supported by the MBP, it's probably something that is no longer popular and/or pratical, and support for it was dropped. Perhaps settings can be changed on the camera to record and use a different audio codec that the MBP does support. That would be my guess.
