Audacity does not recognize video files. You'll need to strip out the sound track with maybe MPEG Streamclip from Apple and then edit it in Audcity. Then Export a repaired sound file and reintegrate it with your picture. I think you can do that in QuickTime Pro.

You may be able to Import it into Audacity 1.3.8 if you have ffmpeg installed. I've just tried importing a Quicktime .MOV file into Audacity 1.3.8 on Linux and it imported (audio only) correctly.

Gasp. I need to lie down for a minute.....
Of course, that's assuming the original QuickTime was made with a codec that ffmpeg understands.....
Can you put the track back the same way?

You can't put it back into a video the same way, but you can Export as a .MOV file
Oh my, I think I need to lie down now....

See what fun video is?
I brought up QuickTime Pro because I have used that to marry a WAV file and a video-only file.
