Macbook - tv, audio & video on separate channels?!

so i'm on a quest to watch movies that are stored on my macbook's hard drive on my 36" insignia hdtv.
i have separate connections for the video and audio. the video is connected through hdmi, and the audio cord connects my headphone jack to a red/white thing on the tv. i also have a dvd player, videogames, etc plugged into the tv. when i use a component (like the dvd player or macbook) i have to select an individual input (such as hdmi1, hdmi2, component1, etc).
the issue? when streaming the movie on the macbook, the video shows on input "hdmi2" with no sound, and the sound can be heard on "component2" with a black screen. i can only select one input at a time.
what am i missing? how can i use see both audio & video on one channel if they are in separate inputs??
thanks!

My mistake about my TV, it only has TOS link output. But I do have 2 DVRs, the TV, and a DVD+R connected to a RS passive 4-way selector and fed into a DVD speaker system for better sound when I feel like it. TOS link is an fiber-optic cable with small connectors. I have not tested my MacBook but supposedly the sound jack is also the optical output jack and there a reports of red glows from it. Normally TOS links screw on to something with the fiber in a metal cylinder that could go into the jack. Probably something in the manual--yes, it's labeled "Headphone out/optical digital audio out port" on pp. 22-23 but has no real info. I don't have/want any videos to test the Book output, today.

  • How can I capture Skype audio on a separate channel

    I do interviews via skype. I currently use an external mic and USB mixing board and record with Audition CS6. But I want to record the caller's audio on a separate channel. How can I do that? Seems like there should be a way.

    Back in the mists of time I did a document about this. It refers to earlier versions of Audition, but that doesn't matter because this is controlled externally from it anyway. It's not the most brilliant document in the world (the diagram is hand-drawn), but you should be able to figure out the basics:

  • Audio shot in separate channels is now combined ????

    Hello.  I've searched this forum and haven't found an answer to this issue ... yet.  I recently shot something on an XDCAM PMW-EX3.  I used two mics, separating each into its own channel so that I could mix later.  Upon import, I have two channels, but both say L R on them, and both appear to have exactly the same sound, mixed together.  In fact, when I mute one of them, I still get the exact same sound through my headphones, only not as loud because I've muted one.
    What I want is to have one channel be L and the other R, and for the sounds to reflect what was actually captured in the mic, instead of being all smeared together.  So far, I haven't been able to resolve this issue on help or by searching here, though I freely admit that I might have misseed something.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Maybe someone with your camera can comment; doesn't make sense to me.
    I wonder about whether your mikes are separated.  Test this: put one of your regular clips (i.e. a stereo track that should have one mike on L channel and one on R) and use audio mixer to mute one channel.
    Or if your master is stereo, you've got to decide how you want the 4 mono tracks to mix.  Mute 3 and see if the one left is clean.

  • Why does it separate audio & video?

    I have a few divX that I'd like to burn to DVD, however, when I import them into iDVD it separates the audio & video (Project info - assets), thus making the actual video seemingly twice as long, so I can only burn have as much to a DVD ... why is that?
    I understand iDVD doesn't natively support divX, but have the proper codecs to do it ... so just curious if it's still a result of iDVD not quite fully understanding divX? but even still, once I convert to .MOV it still separates ...
    so confused ... and frustrated ....

    yeah, I'm guessing that it's the compression that will change things ... whenever I put a divX file in, it said it was taking up twice as much space as the file originally was, so I guessed that meant audio & video ... but that could just be coincidental ...
    In all my stupidness I was judging based on file size, not run time. I'm trying to throw a few rugby games onto DVD, each being 1hr20min. Roughly 1gb/game ... on a 4.7Gb DVD i figured I could comfortably get 3 games .... I just realized my folly just before checking back here for answers ... doh!!
    dumb dumb dumb.
    oh well, live and learn ... again.
    As an aside ... why is it that on my package of DVDs it makes reference to different modes (Standard, Long Play, Extend Play, etc.) and how many hours can fit on the disc ... those are usually VHS modes, aren't they? so I'm assuming (I should stop that) that I can't use this info for my divX file, cause if I could fit 6 hrs onto a disc (which the package says I could if I used Extended Play), then I should be able to fit the rugby games on ... but alas I can't, so I'm assuming this doesn't apply to me ...
    sigh ... sometimes I wish the guys at my local electronics dealer would be more knowledgeable ... but that's not likely to happen anytime soon, especially if they're on commission

  • Separate Audio/Video Question

    I'm in the midst of transitioning from iMovie/iDVD to Final Cut Studio. In the last chapter of FCP6: Beyond the Basics, I sent a sequence to Compressor and generated an Audio file and a Video file. The book didn't really say anything about what happens next. I tried it with my first FCP video, (which I had previously simply exported as a QT file and dropped into iDVD, and as I write this I can see that it processing a Dolby Digital file and an MPEG-2. Admittedly, I haven't cracked the book on DVD Studio Pro yet, in fact, I haven't really opened the app except to glance at the interface, and my question will probably be answered there, but what's going to happen next. When I open up DVD Studio Pro, will I be selecting both of these files for the project and then they'll just automatically sync?

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    Let's keep this thread focused on the dialing issue, and I suggest you take up the picture/messaging issue in a separate thread in the Audio, Video and Photos board.
    First question is whether the phone has behaved this way from day one, or if it just started after working correctly for a few weeks. You could try soft-resetting the phone...remove the battery and wait a minute, then reinsert, start it up and try again. If that doesn't work, a Hard Reset might be in order, which wipes everything clean and lets you start over. This can correct issues relating to corrupt data or conflicting third-party applications which may have found their way onto the Centro. This article discusses the various types of Reset for different Palm devices.
    After the Hard Reset, do not synchronize the phone with your desktop. See if the phone works normally.
    Another issue might be a bad SIM card, but I don't know enough about that...the folks at the AT&T store should be able to verify whether the card is good or not.
    If all else fails, return it to your AT&T store for a replacement. AT&T has a 30-day return policy for any reason.
    Good luck, please let us know how it turns out.
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

  • Is there a good USB audio/video grabber for a Macbook?

    I need to be able to take screenshots from my Xbox 360. My PC friends use a USB audio/video grabber that the hook up to their TVs, however, there aren't that many for Mac. I was hopping someone here knows of a good product that is compatible with Macs. I have an early 2009 unibody Macbook. Thanks for your help.

    I'm confused.
    Doesn't your mini already have a wireless card? It's part of the standard config, so I don't understand why you're not using that.
    I've yet to find a workable USB wireless ethernet device. I'm sure they exist but I've yet to encounter one.

  • Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4

    Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.

    Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
    I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs.

  • Does my MacBook passes audio through Mini Display Port or not?

    I recently bought a Mini DisplayPort > HDMI adapter in order to display my MacBook on my TV. Other users of the same adapter publicly stated that they got video AND audio out, but I got only video.
    I've been searching this online for two days now and I still don't know why (I even searched this support forum, but I must admit that I got a little lost and decided to write my own topic). All I discovered was that some MacBooks have this capacity (to port audio along with video through Mini DisplayPort) and others don't.
    I'm using a white MacBook unibody bought new and latest on late 2009. It's the first model with multitouch trackpad and without FireWire port. Its model name is "MacBook 6,1", I guess.
    Does anybody know for sure if It CAN, in fact deliver audio+video through the Mini DisplayPort if I'm using a compatible HDMI adapter?
    Thanks.

    These models pass audio through the display port:
    iMac (Late 2009), MacBook Pro (Mid 2010), MacBook (Mid 2010), and Mac mini (Mid 2010) supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort. To connect your television or other HDMI devices to your Mac, use select third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that conform to the VESA v1.1a DisplayPort Interoperability Guidelines. The following adapters adhere to these standards:
    - Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
    - Griffin Video Display Converter (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and DVI)

  • Complete Show playback - audio/video

    Hi all, I'm posting this in both the Logic and Mainstage forums.
    I've created an entire show that will be scripted from beginning to end and want all the audio/video elements to be in sync with each other, played back from my Mac Book Pro, feeding an audio interface and a VGA output to a projector.
    What is the best and most stable program/solution for running multiple audio stream playback (one stereo wav file, one mono wav file, and a live vocal channel), along with several different video clips, on a timeline?
    I have numerous songs or medleys that will be played live, along with a stereo backing track, as well as a mono click track (in sync, obviously). The fourth track, and this is optional, but ideal, would be to process the lead vocal channel live through the same timeline, with effects changing at specific moments in the song.
    Lastly there are video elements that would be synced up to various pieces of music.
    I was hoping to accomplish this in either Logic Pro or Mainstage, but I don't see a video playback option in Mainstage, and Logic seems to allow only one Quicktime Movie at a time. I could render the entire show's video content into one long movie that runs the length of the show, but was hoping to have each song or segment as its own separate piece, so that later I could change the order of playback.
    Additionally I could see using a MIDI track to send program change information to the lighting desk....but that's down the road.
    If this happens inside Logic, is there a way to set up chapter markers so that I can start and stop playback, and jump to the next marker?
    Thanks for your help.

    inside Logic, is there a way to set up chapter markers so that I can start and stop playback, and jump to the next marker?
    Yes. Markers are helpful, and they're easy to work with, especially if you learn to control them with the keyboard. Here are some relevant key commands. They are all available by default (i.e., there's no need to load a particular key command preset):
    ⌃K Create Marker
    ⌘↩ Rename Marker
    ⌘⌫ Delete Marker
    ⌃, Go to Previous Marker
    ⌃. Go to Next Marker
    As you're scrolling through the project to create Markers, it helps to know about these commands:
    , Rewind
    . Forward
    ⇧, Fast Rewind
    ⇧. Fast Forward
    If you have the US preset loaded, the commands are a little different, as follows:
    ⇧⌘' Create Marker
    ⌘↓ Delete Marker
    ⌃⌘← Go to Previous Marker
    ⌃⌘→ Go to Next Marker
    It makes no sense that the US preset uses these more difficult keystrokes. It uses the other keystrokes (⌃K, ⌘⌫, ⌃, and ⌃.) for no other purpose. This is one of several reasons that I tend to avoid the US preset.
    Anyone confused by any of those symbols can find an illustrated guide here or here.

  • Synching audio/video across AirPlay & other devices

    I have a AppleTV-equipped television ("TV") as well as a separate audio system that uses a MacMini as a dedicated processor ("Sound System").  The Sound System has a separate DAC, amplifier, etc. as well as an Airport Express for streaming audio.
    My goal:  watch Internet content (audio and video) on the TV while also hearing the audio through my Sound System.
    My options:  (1) use the MacMini to play the audio content directly through the Sound System while at the same time beaming the audio/video from the MacMini to the TV via AirPlay/AppleTV; or (2) use a separate Mac device (e.g. my iPhone, MacBook, etc.) to beam audio/video to the TV via Airplay while at the same time streaming the audio to the Sound System via the Airport Express.
    The problem:  nothing works, even using a third-party app that allows streaming to multiple devices (e.g. Porthole or Airfoil) because of the audio and visual delays with Airplay/Apple TV.  Thus, even using Airfoil to sync the audio between the TV and Sound System (which it was able to achieve), I'm still left with the video being out of sync.
    Any good suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Vazandrew, your solution works to send video to my TV and audio to my Sound System (via AirPlay setting on Apple TV), but it does not allow me to play the audio on my Sound System and TV simultaneously, which is what I'd like to do.

  • How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

    I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
    I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
    My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Am I asking too much of this software?
    BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Jordon,
    "Am I asking too much of this software?"
    No, you're not.
    You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
    This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
    You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
    With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

  • 'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

    I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8.  [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems: 
    First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’ 
    Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ]   I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
    Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer.  There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux). 
    Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

    "I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8  camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
    "Are you using  Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
    "Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
    WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.'  However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
    So, back to the Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source  monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3  March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

  • How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

    My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
    My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
    I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
    As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
    Question:
    How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
    Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
    Help!!

    No.
    You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
    Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
    Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
    Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
    Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
    Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
    Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
    Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
    Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
    This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
    It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

    I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
    Do you have four tabs (You may have less)  I HAVE 4 TABS
    In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ?  AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP"  WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES.  BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
    "Share a Public IP" ?
    Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
    I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW.  I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)

    Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info  on how it connects to the Modem.
    It may list that Puiblic IP.
    It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
    Does it start 192.168....
    Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
    Or possibly another 10.... number ?
    If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can  effect things
    One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
    And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.
