Do not want dual audio after burning dvd

I have .avi movie with two different languages and after burning are both in movie while playing. I would like to set only one language before burning it with iDVD. Thanks

Hi
I think You support to little info.
• .avi is no Codec but just a container - so what's in it ?
• iDVD has just a few video codec that it accepts
• there are no multilingual funcion in iDVD - so each language has to be it's own free movie (will take up no: x places eg three movies = three times more space needed)
So may be I'm not really understanding Your problem - so Please Re-Phrase and add more info and step by step description on how You try to do this.
Yours Bengt W

After burning dvd, the audio out runs the actions or speaking

after the dvd is made and i play it back on a dvd player, it is as if the audio is being heard before the actuall speaking. why is this?

They were all encoded in compressor and all are about 7.6 Mb/s. The thing is, only 2 of 14 have the issue. Granted, they are the 2 longest, but not by that much. And it is out of sync for the entire program, it doesn't gradually get out of sync. Also, opening the Video_TS folder (on the computer, not the disk) in VLC shows the same problem, so its not the player, the disk media, or even the burning process. It's somewhere in the "build" process. I will try a lower data rate for those two, but it should be fine for less than an hour of material.

Audio problem after burned DVD on set top player only?

My burned DVD's play great on any computer PC or MAC but on client's (and mine) set top DVD player the first 3 seconds of the 30-min program don't play any audio???
Client's set top DVD player is brand new and has HDMI out puts, my player is old, 3 years maybe but both players do the exact same thing...the DVD's we're trying to play on the DVD players are all built and burnt from Mac using DVD SP. So the menus all work, even the audio perfectly, but when you choose the program it won't play the audio for 3 sec, then it kicks in, though the video plays perfectly from beginning. I've got 1 sec of Black at the head of program, then it fades up to first shot. I've got that same black slug on both audio tracks for 1 sec as well...tried with and without the black in the audio tracks, no change. Now on a 4 year old Panasonic EM-50 something DVD recorder/player the DVD's did work.
Thoughts?

Hi tomwros
Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear you are having problems navigating a burned disc. In most cases on apple discussions it's the result of the media and not of the hardware / software.
Please tell us which brands you have tried. Include speed of the media itself and if it's plus or minus media. Also when you used Roxio Toast, what speed did you burn at within Toast?

Audio Sync issue after burning DVD

This is a strange one. I have a DVD made up of several videos of various length. One 15 minutes, One 7 minutes, and the rest under 5 minutes & 17 seconds. The problem is that the two longer ones are out of sync on the burned DVD (and even the build playing in VLC) even though they are fine throughout the rest of the process (FCP, DVDSP timeline, & DVDSP simulation). The rest of the videos are also just fine. I have no idea what to do about it.

Poor audio after burning

Hi there,
Hope someone can help me with this...
I have made a SD DVD by converting my uncompressed quicktime files through compressor to gain MPEG2 video files and AC3 audio files.
Everything looks and sounds great when I simulate everything, but after burning the audio sounds really clunky. The fades in and out don't work at all and it really doesn't sound good at all.
In the compressor settings I put normalisation off (to -31) so not sure why this is happening, especially as all seems to be working fine when everything is simulated...
Could anyone offer any suggestions to fix?
Thanks
Matty

Take a look here
http://dvdstepbystep.com/compressor.mov
and in the second half there are settings. Make sure Preprocessing is set to "None" as in the first image below. The other settings usually also help prevent glitches, audio rate (160/192 etc) can change a needed. Also, how were you listening to the audio? Computer? Television? (I have one tv that is bad for audio)

Jitter problem after burning DVD from avi or mpeg2 that was exported from original timeline edit

When burning a DVD directly from the timeline in Elements 7, there is usually no problem, however, when first exporting it to an .avi or .mpeg2 file, and then putting that new file back into the timeline, and then burning that new file to a DVD, there is jitter or "strobing" when the subject in the video moves (when playing the DVD).
It's not an install, or re-install issue, because before I started with this new computer, the exact same thing happened with the last computer I was using.
Thanks.

Les,
I do not know the newer Pinnacle Studio products, but going back to 8 and 9, through 9.4.3, the workflow was based on DV-AVI, just like PrE is. Pinnacle might have changed over to MPEG-2 in later versions, but I just do not know, as I have not seen a version, since Studio 10 hit was such a disaster.
One of the problems when working from DVD-Video material is that it has already been compressed to MPEG-2, loosing a good bit of data, and also converting the material to GOP (Group of Pictures), so that individual Frames are not present any longer. This precludes Frame-accurate editing, unless that compressed material is converted to all I-frame. See this ARTICLE for some background on GOP. Then, upon Burn to Disk, that I-frame material is once more compressed (again) to MPEG-2 and GOP for use in a VOB container. This WILL cause degradation of the image, most noticeable where there is motion, either subject, or camera motion. Some NLE's offer what is referred to as "Smart Rendering." This can help in some areas. For portions of the footage, where no changes have been made, beyond just cuts, the material will NOT be Transcoded again to MPEG-2, but will be used, as-is. Note: add a Transition, or a Title, or a PiP, or any Effect, and that footage WILL be Transcoded, so the Smart Rendering aspect will be moot. Sony's Vegas has been recommended for Smart Rendering, but I have never used it. This might be worth investigating. Also, if Pinnacle Studio is working fine, you might want to consider using that program. I have 5 different NLE's on my workstation, and use each for specialized situations, though the vast majority of my editing is done in PrPro.
Regarding the existing DVD-Videos, much depends of the source. PrE can Import and work with 100% DVD-compliant (very important) VOB's. Unfortunately, most DVR's do not create 100% DVD-compliant discs. This is most often manifested in the first VOB, which will contain any Menus and navigation. This ARTICLE will give you some background on VOB's, which are Video Object "containers."
As you point out, there can be issues with the resulting MPEG-2, as it will span part of VOB 1, and then all remaining VOB's. With 100% DVD-compliant VOB's, there will be a perfect flow in the MPEG-2 that spans the multiple VOB's. When the VOB's are not 100% DVD-compliant, issues can arise.
Considering your DVR, it is likely that ripping is going to be the best workflow, as that will strip out the other material in the first VOB and should then gather the data for the spanned MPEG-2. The ultimate rip will be to a DV-AVI Type II file w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. This is an older FAQ Entry from the Encore Forum, on ripping, but might have some useful tips. Note: this was for getting material from a DVD-Video for authoring to a new DVD in Encore, and not editing.
For non-commercial DVD-Video editing, I will use an A-D bridge and my DVD deck, and capture to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio, and Import the resulting files into PrPro/PrE. This is exactly the same workflow that I use, with analog material, like VHS.
Also note that PrPro, a US$900 program did not get VOB Importing until CS4.2 (current version), while PrE has had it for some time now. Also, PrPro is a DV-AVI-based, I-frame, program, just like PrE, so no "Smart Rendering" there either. Same exact issues exist in "big-brother," PrPro.
Most of all, good luck,
Hunt

After burning DVD, DVD player cannot play main menu

Hi all,
I created a project with a main menu with several links to submenus in Encore. When i take a preview it all looks great. However after burning the DVD, the DVD reader is unable to lanch the CD to it's master main menu (set as first play) and after a long time searching, it starts one of the submenus. There i have a link back to the main menu, but it doesn't seem to work.
I tried this on several DVD players but all has the same problem. I also create a DVD folder on HD, there it works.
I'm pretty sure my DVD burner works fine. Could it be that Encore is using too heavy compression (the avi file is 29Gig and fits on 1 DVD) that can not be use for let's say cheaper version of DVD players? (2 years old).
If not, any other idea where the problem could be ??
Tx

Hi Harm,
you were absolutely right. I was either suspecting the large avi file to be to heavily compressed or my dvd burner but NO...i just bought some TDK 16 DVD-R and the whole thing was solved. Saves me a lot of trouble, no new DVD-R, no new software.... tx mate :)
ps do you know any gud site where i can found some good audio samples which can be used for DVD menus?

Found grease on disks after burning DVDs or CDs

I own a brand new iMAC G5. After burning couple DVDs using the super drive, I found some grease spots on some of the disks. The grease spots had caused the DVDs unusable/unreadable anymore.
I called AppleCare, they said they will replace my drive.
Grease in a drive! This is weird. Has anyone experienced it before?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 2.0GHz, 1G RAM, Bluetooth2.0, 250G HD

Darth, welcome to the discussions.
As with anything that is MASS PRODUCED this can happen,
I think this is the 2nd time I have seen this issue in 2 years.
Apple said they will fix it so there is not a problem.
Cheers Don

IMac shuts down after burning DVDs.

Brand new aluminum iMac 20" with Tiger 10.4.11 installed. We've found that after burning a DVD(-R) the iMac just shuts off - bizarre.
Any ideas why this is happening? Fix?

That's interesting, so it's not a heat problem then. So do just a few of us have defective iMac burners, or does everyone? Friends of mine who use Mac laptops for processing similar files to me, have not had this problem of mid-burn shutdown, nor has a friend in UK on a pre-Intel iMac and 10.4.9. I tried several different brands of CDs and DVDs including TDK, Verbatim Data-life Plus (usually very reliable), and DataStream. All failed equally. So far the external LaCie burner is working well and is a work around for the problem. Why was it that only the aif files failed for me? You would think if there was a Mac problem then we would all have the same thing happening?

Bad quallity film after burning dvd with idvdv professional quality.

After making a movie in imovie and importing it in idvdv the quality is still HD
after burning a dvd with professional quality the quatity of the dvdv is very poor. Horizontal lines are dancing over the screen!!
Can anyone tell me wat is going on???

Keep in mind that all Dvd's burned through your mac and are playable on your mac as well as your set top DVD player are ALWAYS standard definition /SD. There is no way around this (that is if your intentions is for playback on most computers and most set top Dvd Players.
One of the limiting factors is apple's dvd player app. It isn't fully blu-ray compatible yet. Meaning that even if you did burn a high def. Dvd which is only playble on Sony's PS3 and most set top Blu-ray players .... the finished Dvd won't play on your mac since apple has yet to update/upgrade their DVD Player application to fully incorporate Blu-ray standards. To the best of my knowledge, apple's support is very limited here. Hence the alternative for mac users is to use Roxio Toast's Blu-ray plug in as well as Toast Blu-ray player. If you opt to go high def through Toast then the completed Dvd will NOT play on most set top dvd players but will on most Blu-ray Players as well as Sony's PS3.
Hope this advice helps but if not just come on back.

My Mac has blocked after burning DVD

Hi there.
My iMac has blocked after burning couple of DVD. It keeps on freezing after restarting. Mouse can't move.
Please help. I have an asignement tomorrow.

MacBook Pro screen goes to freeze condition when iTunes is open, I had to close this app pressing "Comman+Q".

Out of focus photos after burning dvd.

I am using Magic iDVD in iDVD 08. Have created a movie with photos imported from iPhoto. All appears to be well when I preview the movie prior to burning it (i.e. photos are clear and sharp, and burning process appears to go as it should). But when I view the burned DVD all the photos are quite out of focus. This occurs whether I watch the DVD on my iMac or TV. Am using Philips DVD-R discs. Have tried different encoding settings with no difference in results.

It looks to me like the flash fired for the shot, but the camera also kept the shutter open for a fairly long time to reach optimum exposure. Can you check and see how long the exposure was? It appears that the bright, flashed parts of the photo are sharp, so I don't think it's an optical problem. The flash froze some of the image, but handheld camera shake created the blurring. Try a similar shot on a solid tripod. Or reset the exposure so that it's short enough to handhold and try again. I'll often do dusk or nighttime shots on aperture priority setting with a flash to light up someone in the foreground. The shutter stays open long enough to light up the dark, unflashed areas in the background, leading to a long exposure, so I have to use a tripod and have a model that can stay very still. Otherwise the photos end up looking like your shot. As far as saving the photo that you posted--it would take a huge amount of effort by someone that's very good with Photoshop.

Audio Levels Too Low after Burned DVD

I have had a problem keep arising and now has affected business.
I videotaped a concert and cut it on FCP 5 and Motion 2. When everything was finished I used Compressor 2.0.1 to encode and then author in DVD Studio Pro 4. I burned a DVD and it played back ok on my desktop but has LOW AUDIO levels on any set top box. I sent a DVD to a client and they had to crank their audio up all the way just to hear the sound though the video quality was fine.
Is this a common problem and does anyone know how to get better audio levels in this kind of workflow?

First, confirm that your audio is mixed and you levels are set properly in FCP. (and force render an "audio mixdown" before exporting just to make sure the audio is "finalized...")
If it this is the case, then take the resulting PCM/AIFF audio file (from the compression of your FCP movie) and turn it into an AC3 audio file.
I still use the old APACK utility Apple gave with the older DVDSP. It works just fine. (use any app you prefer for this...)
Here's the settings I use:
Target System: DVD video
Audio Encoding 2/0 (L,R)
Data Rate: 192 kbps
Dialoge Normalization -31dBFS (this is important because it matches your FCP settings)
Inside the Preprocessing (tab)
change the Compression Preset to NONE so it doesn't recompress the file.
The audio levels of the resulting AC3 file will exactly match those of your original FCP timeline. Should work for you just fine when you import it into DVDSP
regards

Loss of audio on burned DVDs

Hi,
I have a friend's homemade dvd of a German TV program and wanted to extract parts out of it and burn as my own DVD. I used Handbrake to extract the VOB files as mpeg4 files, then used MPEG Streamclip to combine the files as one 40 minute mpeg4. I then used iDVD (on my MacBook Pro, using 10.5) to burn a DVD. The DVD now works fine on the MacBook Pro, but when I try to view it on my standalone DVD player, I get video but no sound.
In the past, I have successfully used this same procedure a number of times with no problem. I'm not sure why I'm getting stuck here.
I've now tried importing all the mpeg4 videos into iMovie and have sent the one iMovie file I created to the Media Browser. I then burned that file using iDVD. The same problem reoccurs. I get video and sound when I play the DVD on a computer, but I get only video when I use my standalone DVD player. I can get a faint audio if I turn the tv sound way up, but its very faint. The video picture, however, is fine.
I never had this "no audio" problem with any of the other DVDs I burned using iDVD.
Any ideas on how I can get my audio to play when using a standalone player?

I had a similar problem a few years ago. At that time I was using a MOTU 828. That particular model has since been superseded.
What happened was that everything worked correctly for the first hour-&-a-half. After that, I lost all audio. Eventually, I worked out that the MOTU had an intermittent fault. Since changing my audio interface, I've had no problems like that.
I hesitate to suggest the MOTU is at fault, but if all else fails, have it examined by a specialist repairman just in case.
Good luck with your search for a solution.

All I want is audio from a DVD!

I have a few music DVD's, and all I want is to get the audio from them into my iPod. 1) I've seen the debate rage re. whether or not one SHOULD be able to copy DVD's (video and all), but no one ever definitively asked or answered, much less on this specific question re. "audio only from a DVD imported to iPod or iTunes Library." 2) I understand that if it involves a "work-around" of copy right protection measures, that such "work-around" instructions cannot be given here. 3) But if that is the case, WHY?! I don't get it... copy right laws allow us to burn copies of CD's we own, why are DVD's any different?
Andrew

hey there Addys,
DVD's use a different codec, sample & bit rate as well as a bunch of other specs than CDs. also commercial DVDs, be they Audio or Video have a copy protection scheme. in addition, the few Audio DVDs i've heard also have some sort of image. music CD's on the other hand have no copy protection to circumvent. iPod & iTunes music will only do stereo audio anyway, not the 5.1 you may have on your Audio DVD.
it's against the terms of use here to discuss ways to circumvent DVD copy protection.
