No Audio from DVD Player

Mac Pro
OS X 10.4.8 - QuickTime 7.1.3 -
Having a strange problem when trying to play DVD's.
DVD Player plays the images but I get no audio.
I've fiddled with the DVD's language options and
the DVD player controls but still nothing.
So far I've had this problem with all twelve DVD's I experimented with.
CD's, QuickTime, MP3, etc. files play fine - no problems so the problem seems to be DVD Player.
Thanks

I am having the same problem with my G5. It just started today. The most recent update I have done was yesterday to the latest version of iTunes. I have also updated my Powerbook but it hasn't seemed to have affected it yet. I have tried playing DVD's in the VLC media player and at first I get no audio as well but if I change the audio setting from "built-in (encoded)" to just "built-in" it pays back the audio fine. Any ideas?

No multi-channel audio from DVD Player or Quicktime?

I have the A52Codec 1.7.6 installed. The codec preferences are set to output multi-channel audio. I have my Audio MIDI setup speaker configuration setup for multi-channel audio and the speaker assignment tests are all perfect. VLC plays back files with AC-3 soundtracks in perfect 5.1 multi-channel sound. Final Cut plays multi-channel audio properly as well.
When I watch a DVD, it is decoded to stereo. The dialog on 5.1 always comes from the left and right speakers and never from the center channel. It doesn't matter whether I remove the A52Codec and try again the result is aways the same, 5.1 audio in Quicktime and DVD Payer gets decoded to stereo. It is not that extra channels are missing, if that were true I'd get no dialog at all.
What do I have to do to make the DVD and Quicktime multi-channel audio decode as multi-channel audio and not stereo.

I'm not sure if this will resolve your issue or not, but have you configured it using /Utilities/Audi MIDI Setup ?

How do I get good audio feed from DVD player to my MBP using an optic cable

I have successfully recorded audio off of concert DVD's using Sound Studio 3 by connecting my DVD player to my MBP using left/right outputs to a 35mm input. I purchased an optical cable, connected it to my DVD player and used a 35mm adapter to connnect it to my MBP input. All I get is a weird popping interferance type sound instead of clear audio. Any tips on what is going on? I have correct settings in system preferences (recognizes an optical connection) but all I hear is noise?
Thanks for any help!

I just use mac the ripper with the following instructions
http://www.ripdifferent.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1249&sid=de5cc9506c05b6ba98d6 530884489333
It gives you a few options for audio, I generally save as AAC though you can rip as AIFF and then encode into just about anything with quicktime.

Could i play sound from DVD Player to my stereo?

I have iBook with Airpot Extreme card. I want to buy Express station. Is there is somebody who did try to broadcast sound to express station from something different than iTunes? May it is just impossible?

Before you buy one for this purpose, you must realize that you're liable to be frustrated trying to get the audio to sync with the video. In fact, you'll have to use an app other than Apple's DVD Player in order to get the sync halfway close, and even then you'll likely never get it perfect.
VLC is one possibility. You'll need to use the audio delay option with a negative offset to advance the audio ahead of the video a couple of seconds to compensate for the Airport Express prebuffering delay.

Audio from DVD

Can't find a forum that seems appropriate for this question, this one seems the best:
I'd like to extract audio from some older DVDs that I have -- ones from the 70's. Nothing illegal or anything like that, just that I'd like to have have some of the music on my pod, they really did have some great tunes -- and you can't get them in the store, no Amazon, no iTunes store, nowhere. Even if you could, nothing quite like all the background stuff that makes it so fun to listen to.
Anyway, I'm looking for a way to take out the audio of an old DVD (meaning a DVD of an old movie, which is different from a DVD of a new movie, which seems to be easier).
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

The only legal way is to capture the output of DVD Player using a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap. Either of those utilities can save the captured audio in a format that iTunes can import.
Hope this helps.

Can't record sound from DVD player

I just built a new DAW with a Gigabyte MoBo that has the Realtek sound chip on board. I installed an M-Audio external Fast Track Pro connected to the computer with USB 2.0. With the two sound devices I can play Band in a Box (my main band) through the Realtek and out put to my mixer. I then use my Line 6 Pod XT as a preamp to my guitar that also goes to my Behringer mixer. I connect the main out (R&L) from the mixer to the 1 and 2 inputs on the M-audio. I set Audio Hardware setup in AA3 to use the M Audio device for input and am able to record mixer output to tracks in AA3. I tried several configs and this is the only one that I found that works. All is good so far.
I installed a SATA DVD player (Lite on 24x) that works fine, but it plays through the M-Audio via USB, bypassing the Realtek chip, and the sound does not show up in AA3. I'm thinking I need to route the DVD output to the mixer to use the channel that is already set up. I've been trying to output the DVD player through the onboard Realtek but can't find any way to direct it to do so. I don't necessarily need it to play through the Realtek, but I want to be able to record from the DVD player.
So, does anyone have any idea how to direct the output of the DVD player to the sound card of choice? I'm stumped.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Encore 2.0 Audio and DVD Player Compatibility

Hello
I've made about 200 dvd's for a dance recital I've edited. This is my first year using 2.0 and have already had 2 people come back saying all they can hear is the applause track, and no music (in premiere, I had an audio timeline with just music from the soundboard, and one timeline for a stage mic to catch tapdances and applause). Once premiere renders the audio, I assumed it would all become one track in encore, which it appears to be. I looked in the settings, and it appears to have defaulted to dolby audio. Is this going to be a big problem? I'm not sure what encore 1.0 defaulted to for audio. I've tested my dvd's on my own stand-alone dvd player and it works fine.
Thanks for any input.

Thanks for writing back. I did burn at 4x, and used TDK media (which I assumed was ok)...in the past 2 years that I've done this project, I used encore 1.0 with no problems (other than the standard +R vs -R problems).
I'll check the data rate, but I think it was well below the 7,000 level. I was just curious as to why certain dvd players would screen out the main track?..which is odd since there are only 2 assets in the project (besides menus) "audio" and "video", one each on the main timeline. How do you output your videos in encore 2? Do you use pcm or dolby digital?
Thanks again.

How do I get 5.1 audio from DVDs using CMSS 3dheadpho

I know I obviously must have my control panel set to CMSS 3D, but my question is toward the actual playback application (PowerDVD, VLC Player, AC3 Filter, etc.) How should I have them set up for my X-Fi to actually decode each seperate channel and apply it's directional filters on them? It's a given that if it's a plain stereo stream, then the X-Fi won't localize the channels, but does it localize them at all if I simply select the 5. audio track within the playback application?
Is the driver intelligent enough to realize that I'm playing a 5. sound source through a 2.0 output (my headphones) and apply it's algorithm on the stream so that the sound intended for the left and right rear channels will actually sound like they're coming from those directions on my headphones?

I was also trying to figure this out as well.. but I'm pretty sure I figured it out.. Firstly, make sure CMSS3D Headphone3D is enabled in the control panel.. Then your DVD player software needs to be set to 5. audio output or you won't get it to work properly. Mine was defaulted to 2. (Using VLC player) and after dropping down the Audio menu and picking 5. the sound coming from my headphones was incredible. So basically, you have your control panel setup properly, it's your DVD player software that needs to be set to 5. output and you should notice a great difference in sound.. The sound became much louder switching VLC player to 5. in my case.. "Center" channel seemed to come from the center of my head and the front left and right channels sound were completely seperated and the rear left and right sounds had a noticeable applied surround effect in the headphones..
If you're using true 5. headphones, you don't use the headphone profile in the control at all, you leave it on 5. speaker setup.

No Sound From DVD Player

I received my new (refurb.) 15" PB today. Everything works great except I can get no sound from Apples DVD player. CDs, iTunes, system sounds etc. all work correctly. Audo output is set to System Sound Output in DVD Preferences. Using VLC I get DVD sound but lots of dropped frame errors. Any suggestions?
15" PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I'm having the same problem. I can play the video part of a DVD but no sound. Audio CDs and Windows sounds work fine. Does this mean I'm missing a DVD codec or is there a software setting I'm missing. The Nvidia codec costs money. Is there a free codec that will fix this? This is with Windows XP and Audigy 2 LS.

Any ideas?

No audio from DVDs

I have made several movies in iDVD and burned them successfully. They always played with no problem. Now I am trying to play them in the DVD player and there is no audio. There is also no audio when I make a disc image. And there is also no audio when I try to copy on of my movies back onto the disc utility. I am also not getting audio from commercial DVDs in the DVD player. All of these DVDs still work fine in my regular DVD player hooked to the tv.

Well, the Allen-Heath support site had the answer... quite suprised and pleased!!
Have to reconfigure the iMac speakers in the Audio/Midi preferences. The details are found in this URL:

The ZED R16 is a great board but certainly not Plug' n Play.

Recording Audio from DVD Video

Hi,
I have a music concert video on DVD. I would like to record a song off the video so that I can learn to play the guitar part. Is there any software out there that will separate the audio from the video, or in other words, capture the audio and maybe convert it to mp3 format so that I can play it in iTunes without playing the video?
Sincerely,
Jim

Audio Hijack will let you capture audio from any running Mac Os X application.

Is it possible to export a video clip from DVD player to iMovie '09?

If I load a homemade DVD onto my iMac using Disk Utility and then import either the entire disc or portions of the disc into iMovie, that works just fine. However I noticed that some clips are missing in iMovie, even though they are on the iMac in form of a .dmg file on the desktop. The same file that was used to import in to iMovie. If I look at this file using DVD player, everything is there, but some of these clips are missing in the event window. So I created a video clip in DVD player of those pieces missing in iMovie and now how can I get these into iMovie?

Hey, best way to import video from a DVD video disc for editing is to acctually have a simple video file. Use Handbrake or MPEG StreamClip to read the disc and create a video file off the video stream.
You could also set in and out points anc manually create several clips, which may help with playback and rendering for editing. I don't know how extensive you're going to get in your editing with iMovie...
Hope that helped.

How to I import video AND audio from DVD ?

I have been sent a DVD on a holiday from a friend. I want to edit this. When I try to import it into iMovie I can import the VTS0104.VOB file, but this gives me just the images and NO sound. How can I get the sound too?

There is another way of importing DVD footage into iMovie 08 directly, without using any third party software, but you have to trick iMovie into thinking that it is not a DVD. I had hours of home video footage from my old 8 mm camcorder which i recorded on DVD's, and from here succesfully imported into iMovie. Both video and sound.
Try this:
1. Insert your DVD and quit DVD Player, when it pops up.
2. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility). Select the DVD inserted, and click on "New Image" (on the toolbar). Save the disk image to a convenient location (eg. desktop).
3. Mount the disk image -> Double click on the file, or select open with "DiskImageMounter")
4. Open iMovie 08., .... and "Camera detected, scanning content ... " message will appear. Happy editing!
I believe Apple does not advertise this iMovie feature, because of potential copyright issues, ... but importing from home made DVD's has nothing to do with it. I wish Apple will come to realize that, and make our life much easier. Certainly, there is a way to tell the difference between DRM protected and home made DVD's.
Cheers!

Audio from dvd imported into iMovie

I don't know alot about any of this but here goes....my daughter went skydiviing and had it video taped with sound of course. The videographer added music to the DVD of the skydive. I got it into iMovie (I want to edit and get some still shots from it) but the sound is very low. I've got the clip control up to 150%, and my computer volume control on the key board is all the way up. First question: what else can I do to help volume? Second question: Is there a way to seperate the original sound of the video from the music that was added to the DVD? The music overpowers the converstion.
I have iMovie HD (6.0.3), Streamclip, and QuickTime MPEG2 if these would be helpful. Thank You

+On the volume issue, if you can extract the audio from the clip, and then make several copies of the audio clip, overlaying them one on top of the other in your iMovie project, that might boost the volume.+
Yes, but that would not separate out the music from the sound she wants to hear over the music.
