Audio soundtrack won't play when burn to DVD or save to a file!  HELP!

When I edit and playback a video project, the soundtrack plays back fine.  But when I burn to DVD or export to a file, the soundtrack is silent.  It DOES still play audiotracks that are from the original video footage, but it won't play the soundtrack song that I added to the video.  I have this problem only when I make a HD version.  The sountrack source file is in standard WAV format (44.1 khz).  The project settings include:
Editing mode HDV 1080i
  Timebase 29.97 frames/sec
  Video frame size 1440x1080
Thank you for your help!!!

Glad that it worked.
As to why the Fixed Soundtrack sometimes has issues, I haven't a clue. What version of PrE are you working on?
Several users have reported issues with both the Fixed Soundtrack, and Narration Tracks, not working properly, but those cases seem to be Project specific, in that when the same users use those Fixed Tracks, in other Projects, everything works fine. In every case, that I can recall, the "fix" has been to Move the Audio Clips to an empty "regular" Audio Track.
The issues seem to have cropped up in about PrE 7, and continued through PrE 9. Again, because the problems with those Tracks, seems to be Project related, it is tough to diagnose what the real "cause" is. To date, I do not recall anyone having the issues in PrE 10, but maybe no one has hit the right combo of criteria (we have never been able to nail down what those criteria are) in a Project, to cause the problems.
Wish that we could track the problem down to something specific, so we could just say, "Don't do that," but we do not know what "that" is. Until we do, we'll just keep recommending that users Move the Clips to another regular Audio Track.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • [nForce] no audio on disk or image when burning a dvd movie

    i've recently bought a K7N2 Delta I lsr and since i've had this i have never been able to burn a dvd movie no matter what i try. I've started from scratch trying with just the AC-97 audio drivers installed and downloaded the latest nforce audio drivers from nvida website, nomatter what i do i cant get a movie on disk correctly. When i build an image on my harddrive, i play it and theres no audio and when i build a dvd disk either the audio wont play or the entire disk wont play. my dvd player either says disk cannot be played or the disk is dirty. But when i import the image or disk into dvd shrink the film plays fine with audio. I'm at a total loss. i dont think that my processor has anything to do with it but i have an AMD Athlon 3200+ and 512meg 3200 Geil ram. If anybody has any ideas or better still a solution i would greatly appreciate a reply.. Thankx for your reply in advance...   

    Hello SON!
    Recently bought, you say. Does that mean you have installed all mobo drivers, repair installed Windows, etc?
    Have you tried the disks in another system?
    Do you use the same software for playing and recording?
    I don't think this is it, I think it is a software/driver problem, but two quick ones:
    Untic in Device Manager for the optical device "Recognise insertion", as that can ruin a burn.
    Remove the audio cable if you got one between the optical device and the sound card.

  • Has anyone had the iMac erase all files in a folder when burning a dvd of some of the file.  All that remain are the files that I burned.

    I had a folder that contained picture, both raw and jpgs from a trip that I had taken.  I wanted to burn a dvd of the folder that had 9 subfolders in it.  I got a message that it was too large.  I told it what directory I wanted and it created the dvd.  I when to get some additional files and all of my pictures, under each of the subfolders are gone.  The only thing that is under the subfolders is the directory that I burned to dvd.  Has anyone else had this problem?  If so were you able to recover the pictures?  I do have the backed up but am currently out of town and will not be back for a month.
    Thanks
    Mike Booher

    First Welcome to the Discussions.
    Depending on the Burning Software are you using. IF you drag the folder with the sub folders in the original folder if it is to large it will not burn it.
    Your best option is to seperate the Original Folder in 1/2 and then try to burn it on 2 seperate DVD's this way you would meet the size critera for the software.
    If you had good burning Software and were able to use dual layer it probably would have burned the entire folder and it would have fit.
    If you continue to have issues after I have explained it to you come back and someone will help you.
    Just remember that Apples burning Software is entry level and doesn't  have the functions of the top of the line in burning Software, Like Roxio, or DVD FAB, these 2 give you so many more options.

  • Audio won't play when burned

    Hi all,
    I have a track to which I need to add two additional video clips with audio. They seemed to work ok when I inserted them into the track, played fine in the viewer, and even worked when played in the simulator. However, when I burn it to a DVD, the audio from the two clips I added does not play. All other audio works fine, including the audio from the other clips in the track. I tried burning several discs, playing on several players, and even re-encoded the audio from the clips separately and added them into the track instead. But to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?
    I encoded everything using Compressor, with audio encoded as AC3's.

    PowerMac G5    

    Yeah, that is plan B. It's just that it's almost two hours worth of video, so if I can avoid doing another 8 hours of compression, I'll be much happier. Just thought I'd try and diagnose the problem first, then try and workaround.

  • Hype widget; audio won't play when previewing on iPad

    Hi,
    I've come across a strange 'bug' in iBooks Author. Hope someone can help.
    I made a widget using Tumult's Hype software. It has multiple scenes, audio and animated text. When previewing the widget in Hype everything works fine. But here comes the strange part;
    When I insert the hype widget in an empty iBooksAuthor book the animation and audio works fine when previewing on my iPad2. But when i insert the widget in my iBook, wich has already ten pages filled with text, reviews, etc., the animation work, but the audio won't play when previewing on my iPad.
    People from Tumult helped me, but were not able to fix this.
    So in an empty book the widget from Hype works fine, but when inserting the widget in a book that has some pages the audio won't play! How can i fix this?
    Thanks for the support!

  • Audio won't play when I'm skimming through clips on iMovie

    The audio of the clips I have on iMovie won't play when I'm skimming through them, but will play when I play the clips. I made sure the volume of every clip and on the computer works (it does) but this is getting really annoying. Can anyone please help me out?

    To Reboot your computer, select /Shutdown... from the top menu. Wait a few seconds, then turn your computer back on with the on switch.
    You don't really have to know what a swapfile is, but here is a simplified explanation.
    Your computer comes with a processor (Intel 2.8 ghz in my case), memory (2GB in my case), and a hard drive (500GB in my case).
    The processor is very fast. The memory holds the instructions and the data that the processor will work on next. Long term storage is kept on the hard drive, which is slower. Think of the following metaphor: You are sitting at a desk. You are the processor. Your desktop is the memory, which contains the stuff you are ready to act on. Stuff you have already acted on, or will not need until later, is in the drawers or in a file cabinet (the hard drive).
    Let's say you are working in several applications at once: iMovie, Microsoft Word, iTunes, Calendar, and Safari. Each of these programs needs some of your memory to function, and to get stuff to the processor for action. If you add all the memory requirements up, it may be more than the 2GB of "real" memory that you have. Fortunately, OSX lets you use virtual memory, so your programs can pretend they have as much memory as they need. Your programs can address memory as if they had a whole bunch of memory all to themselves.
    This is done through swapfiles. When there is more virtual memory than real memory, the programs and data that have been used least recently are swapped out to hard disk in a swapfile. This file is not the permanent storage. It is the temporary parking place for memory when the real memory is being used by another application.
    So lets say you want to use iMovie. It might take up 1GB out of your 2GB. There is not room, so OSX looks around and sees that you haven't used iTunes in a while. So the itunes instructions and music about to be played is swapped our to a swapfile on the harddisk.
    If you decide you want to listen to iTUnes, you will have to wait a few seconds as iTunes is swapped back in to real memory, and something else is swapped out.
    This is a simple case. It can get more complicated.
    But, as you run more and more programs, the real memory gets used up and there might be seven or eight swapfiles out on disk. At some point, OSX gets sluggish and has a hard time dealing with this. For example, if two large swapfiles needed to be paged in at the same time, there might not be room. Also, the real memory can get fragmented, and have open space, but the open space is not big enough to swap something in.
    I run a free utility called Memory Stick that shows me how many swapfiles I currently have. If I am working on something critical in iMovie, and I notice that I have a lot of swapfiles, I will usually just reboot and start over with 1 swapfile. In doing this, I hope to avoid the spinning beach ball that happens when OSX can't handle it any more.
    You don't really need to know this. OSX handles it for you. But understanding how it works can help you self-diagnose some problems from time to time.

  • TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

    I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
    And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.
    Mike

    I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

    Hi
    Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
    • BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
    Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
    I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
    • Type of DVD - matters
    - DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
    - DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
    - DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
    I only use DVD-R
    • BURN SPEED - matters
    - Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
    I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
    Yours Bengt W

  • Video/Movie won't play when exported as a PDF.

    Hello,
    I am creating an interactive PDF using CS5 to display video work. Unfortunately, the video won't play when exported as an interactive PDF, I am just left with blank space. I find this very odd as it plays in preview and also when exported as a SWF but that file type is unsuitable for the project.
    Initially when I exported it I got this message: "One or more of the interactive elements are clipped in ways the pdf files can't reproduce...." Obviously, I have ensured the file is resized correctly and also tried .mov, .mp4 and also .flv file types with no success. I have also checked the simple things like ensuring all the right boxes are ticked when I export.
    This is not the first time I have embedded video but it is the first time without success despite following the same pattern. Any ideas as to why this would be and how to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Use Flv or f4v format, after you have placed video into your layout, make sure that you don´t scale or crop video frame at all.
    (Whren you File > Place a video, you will have a loaded cursor with video icon. Click the empty spot on page with loaded cursor, don´t draw a rectangle or click on the top of some exisiting frame)
    It´s important that you have your video in 100% encoded size in your layout. If you need to scale or crop it, load that video into Adobe Media Encoder and do it there, and re-encode the video to the correct size and shape aftrwards.
    Adobe Media Encoder ships with InDesign.

  • Right audio port won't play. Warranty?

    My ipod's right audio exit won't play. I am sure that it is not the earbuds, because I have tried with several others.
    The iPod is bought in an Apple Retail store in Cleveland, but i am currently living in Sweden. Does the limited warranty cover this? If so, how do i get in contact with Apple?
    Sincerely

    Yes, if you have had it under a year it does. The right earbud is coming more common of a problem, or at least it seems. I do not think that it is pandemic, but does seem to be happening a lot latley. Take it to an apple store, or go here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/

  • FLVs won't play when fully loaded (but do play while still loading?)

    With the new flash player (10,1,82,76), my FLVs won't play when they are fully loaded. Previous versions had no problems.
    Curiously, they will play if I click the play button while they are still loading.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

    Well, I found a workaround. If I use myflvplayer.seek(0) before calling myflvplayer.play(), it will work since I am not allowing users to pause.

  • Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

    Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
    Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

    Hi my notes on this - might be of help
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • Validation Error when burning a DVD

    When I export a slide show from iPhoto to iDVD and press the icon to BURN, a warning comes up that there were problems during validation process (whatever that is?) and suggests not burning the DVD until the problems have been corrected. I can continue and it will burn the slideshow to the DVD okay even with this warning but later, say on another day, if I try to bring up the slide show in iDVD to try and burn it again, a message comes up that says there were problems during the validation process and won't let me burn another DVD. How do I go about fixing this problem?
    iMac (PowerPC)   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Welcome to the discussions
    The error you are getting can be caused by a different Formats of the slideshow you are trying to copy. Example if you are trying to copy Tiff, Jpeg, and Pic files through iDVD this may be your problem.
    iDVD was developed for the user to make copies of there home movies and the like.
    You will find that 3rd prty software like Roxio;s Toast-8 will make your problems go away.
    or you can use the finder and follow the directions in this link.
