Hi,

There are several videos I've downloaded from vimeo that have video but NO audio.  These videos play fine in Firefox, however, the downloaded mp4 files don't work.

 I use VLC as my player, so having the right CODEC should not be the problem.

This is one of those videos that has no sound:  https://vimeo.com/209139080

thanks,
radar

Not only VLC, any player run. It's very strange.

Same problem.
I faced with this issue too,
Some information - no sound in video that downloaded from sites where video inserted as:
<video preload="" src="blob:https://player.vimeo.com/246e23f9-5c2d-427d-921f-3467b5545b66"></video>

No sound in any video player.

I am sure it is something that Vimeo has done. I have downloaded videos from the same website last month and they worked fine.

Now I have tried both Video DownloadHelper as well as other plugins and all of them have the same problem.

I've tried playback on multiple players and same thing.

I've tested my previously downloaded videos again and they still work fine.

So that suggests to me that Vimeo is behind this problem.
