2 T520's Ordered, What are my Audio/Video Out Options

I'm super excited and can't wait to get my computer and my families, yes I did order two with the same config. I'm at a company that uses Lenovo and I have the T400 right now which was an upgrade from T60 which was an upgrade from T42 and was an upgrade from a T21. Now for my personal computer I'm upgrading to a T520 from an HP DV9418CA after going through 2 motherboards, I give up. I guess the 2 and 6yr old closing the computer all the time or leaving it on carpet just over heated the computer too often.
I use my computer to stream video, edit pic/videos, excel (VB) and access and to maintain a couple of websites. I am running on Bell High Speed with a Dlink Extreme N router and have a Dlink NAS with two 1TB drives in raid0
I went with the following options...
Processor
Intel Core i5-2540M Processor (2.60GHz, 3M Cache with Turbo Boost up to 3.30GHz)
Operating system
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
Operating system language

Display type

Total memory
2 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 (1 DIMM)
Keyboard

Pointing device
UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) Fingerprint Reader
Camera
720p HD Camera with Microphone
Hard drive

Optical device
DVD Recordable
System expansion slots
Express Card Slot, 4-in-1 Card Reader
Battery

Bluetooth
Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 with antenna
Integrated WiFi wireless LAN adapters
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
Integrated mobile broadband
Mobile Broadband ready (no mobile broadband module)
Language pack
Publication - US English
Drive space is not of any concern with having the NAS. I have Windows 7 and Office Pro. Memory is very cheap locally in comparison to the upgrade options available here, so I will install a 4GB stick in addition to the 2GB option I selected. I also ordered the Multimedia Keyboard which I've had my eye on for a while.
With my HP I had it docked and connected to a 42" LCD and a surround sound system as most of the shows I watch are via the internet (This is why I've been craving the multimedia keyboard). I am stumped on how to do the same with the T520 if at all possible. I do see a port for VGA cable and my Toshiba is compatible with this, but what do I do for sound.
Thanks Everyone,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

there is a headphone/mic combo jack on the laptop so you could use that.
Or alternatively get a displayport to hdmi converter, to get the laptop to the LCD.
If you need dedicated digital sound, get a usb sound card with digitial toslink or coaxial out.

Video Playback Option in "Preferences/Audio-Video Out"

The following did not make it into the User Guide, though it did get into the troubleshooting docs:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332121.html
332121 Video Playback option in Audio/Video Out preferences (Encore DVD)
A new option was added to the Preferences menu of version 2.0 of Adobe Encore DVD. When you select Edit > Preferences > Audio/Video Out, you see an Automatic option in the Video Playback section. This option is selected by default, allowing Encore DVD 2.0 to play video in a Standard Direct3D mode. If the feature is not selected, then video playback will be in GDI mode.
The only reason to deselect this option is in the case of poor preview playback or black video. In order for the change in preference to take effect, you must close the Monitor panel and then reopen it.
Background information
Encore DVD 2.0 (unlike previous versions of Encore DVD) uses the Premiere Pro playback engine for video playback. Premiere Pro has three Desktop Display modes: Compatible, Standard, and Accelerated GPU Effects. In Compatible mode, video is played using the GDI. In Standard mode, video is played using Direct 3D. In Accelerated mode, video is played using Direct 3D with GPU.
The default setting for Encore DVD 2.0 is comparable to Premiere Pro's Standard mode (Direct 3D). When the Automatic option is deselected, it is comparable to Premiere Pro's Compatible mode (GDI).
If Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 detects a Direct 3D error when previewing in Standard mode, it switches to Compatible mode. Encore DVD 2.0 does not have this capability, nor does it provide the same option in the User Interface for the user to switch between the three display modes. This is why the Automatic option was included in the Audio/Video Out preferences.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Sounds like you've been shooting at p ("progressive") frame rate (..24p or similar).
iMovie can't handle that (..except for JVC's 720p footage..) and it thinks that each frame is a "field" (..half a frame). It therefore plays those frames at double speed, thinking that there should be two 'fields' to a single frame.
Did you shoot at a "p" frame-rate..? If so, you'll need to convert the material, with some other program, so that iMovie can handle it.
I can't remember offhand what software might do this, but if you were shooting in HDV hi-def (which is recorded in the camera using the MPEG-2 video system) you may be able to use MPEG Streamclip (click on that blue link) to "unscramble" your material.

IMovie Problems: Photo import and audio-video out of sync.

Photo import problem:
Some times, I have problems importing photos onto my new project, the photos will appear to be that just one same photo when played. It does not transit to the other photos following the first, it's just stuck on the first. Is this just an issue with iMovie '11? Are there any other ways to resolve this problem?
Audio-video out of sync:
I've checked some other discussions but I'd like to raise this issue again for APPLE. There are problems exporting my 7-minute film - the video and audio go completely out of sync no matter what format I export it to. There are not a lot of clips used. I'm now trying the method to detach the audio files from the video, hopefully it works.
These issues are bothering me, in addition to a failed firmware update on Mac OSX 10.7.2 a few weeks ago. I couldn't open my computer and I had to go to the Genius Bar to have them help me backup my files on my computer and reinstall the whole system again. Anyways, any help to the above iMovie issues are greatly appreciated. Just wish that Apple will address these current issues and not just focus on improving their products with awesome features ._.

Audio/video out of sync (audio delay) with PowerBeats wireless earphones.

I am having a problem with audio/video sync between my PowerBeats Wireless earphones with my MacPro and MacBookPro. I have tried pairing, playing the video, pausing the video, turning off the PowerBeats, tuning the PowerBeats on, then starting the video playback again. I have the same audio delay so this not working for me. Anyone have an update as to how to fix this audio/video sync problem?

I am playing MPEG-4 movie files. I did open MPlayerX from my dock, then pulled down File to select Open which then did show the folder where these movie files are stored. Then I was able to select a movie file, open it, and use "Decrease Audio Delay" to closely sync the audio with the video. I say closely because it is not perfect. Rather than stepping each increase or decrease in one tenth of a second, perhaps a finer adjustment would have been in milliseconds. This is the adjustment that I have with my AVR to sync the audio with the video, so I know this is a possible increment adjustment. The perfect adjustment was in between -0.4 and -0.5 second,however, this was not possible in one tenth second adjustments. The closest adjustment was with -0.4 second rather than with -0.5 second. So, adjustments in milliseconds could have been very near a perfect sync. Perhaps later versions of MPlayer will offer the adjustment selection in milliseconds. Nevertheless, this is working much, much better than before. Thank you so much. I have spent most of this day researching this problem and you have come up with by far the best solution. This problem goes all the way back to 2010 and possibly beyond for Apple products. There are hundreds of reports documenting out of sync audio/video issues with no solution that works as well as MPlayerX. Even the Beats support staff have no idea of how to resolve the audio/video out of sync.

Buffering pauses and audio/video out of sync, single RTMP stream w/ simple embed

Hello,
I am running Flash Media Server on my dedicated CentOS host, and finally connected a single RTMP stream fine and am able to embed and play back the stream, but I am getting constant buffering pauses (approx every 5 secs) and audio/video out of sync by at least 5 seconds. My CPU with Flash Live Encoder is a powerhorse, never over 25% processor or ram usage while streaming, and my upload internet speed is averaging 6-8 mbps which should be more than adequate. I fear the issue is server side, however port 1935 is open and in use, not firewalled on CPU nor the host.
Any suggestions would be great.

What are the frameworks available out there

I just want to know what are the frameworks available out there for Desktop application ?

I want to create a standalone application in Java and I heard that I can make it easier if I follow a framework.
After having a look at frameworks for Java, it just completely confuse me, as it is very different from frameworks for Flash (which I do most).
The java framework covers much more stuff than what Flash framework covers (which mainly regulate the way how the SWF communicate with the server and the design of the classes )
I still wonder what is the definition of framework in Java ? Do I really need one for a standalone application, or I just need to follow the MVC design for my classes ?
I just need to get it right before I actually work on my program.
Thanks.

MBP w/ retina 13" what are the best pysical security options?

Recently purchased a 13" MBP w// retina. What are the best anti theft options? Cable? Type of connections? Key vs combination?

Just your wits.
If it can be done, it will be done.
Any measures after the fact to get it back, like Prey or iCloud Find only might catch the local dumb thief who uses the machine online right away. Then they get a slap on the wrist and send their gang buddies to your house.
Most crooks let a hot item cool off, or sell it to a fence who will let it cool off and then send it to a crooked geek who knows all about Apple and tracking software. Then the machine is sold overseas stripped and costs too much time and effort to get it back or prosecute.
So if you don't want your machine stolen, dress it down and dont' show it off, keep a eye on it and think like a crook how they can steal it from you.
If your in a high human traffic all the time, better to buy a cheap PC instead, because people are arseholes to Mac users and will spill a drink on your laptop which will fry it in a second.
The locking cable attachment was removed from Mac's because it was too easy to cut the cable, there is a metal harness which can lock the machne to a desk if your interested. Costs a fortune.

Audio/Video Out of Sync (PE 10)

I have read some posts regarding this, but they have not been helpful.
I recordered audio/video with an ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T in 720p .mp4 format.
When importing into Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows 7 (64bit) PC, the audio and video are sometimes out sync when editing, and when they are rendered to the final product, they are always out of sync.
I have tried changing to other formats (.avi), as some people stated that variable frame rate issues can come up when using a non-camcorder to record video, but the .avi actually made it worse, to the point that only the audio played.
I turned my PC off and on again, and killed all background actions on the PC. The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and VCPlayer.
If anyone has advice as to how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent 7 hours on this project, and am more frustrated than ever.
Thank you.

nierielimladris
I have downloaded your AVCHD.mp4 video, checked its properties, and studied its performance in Premiee Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit from the point of view of import, playback of rendered Timeline in Edit Mode monitor, and playback of an AVCHD.mp4 export of that Timeline content. I stared into the monitor to watch the lip movements as the sound played back. In any of the following I have not observed any out of sync audio.
MediaInfo basic properties included
a. AVCHD video compression, frame size 1280 x 720 @ 15.119 progressive frames per second (variable frame rate with minimum = 13.501 and maximum at 18.793)
b. AAC audio, mono.
Premiere Elements 10 project preset that I used was
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD LITE 720p24
In Project media, Interpret Footage told me that it recognized a frame rate of 15.0710.
Rendered the Timeline content and watched the lip movement as I listened to the audio. No out of sync audio.
For export,
Share
Computer
AVCHD
Presets = MP4 HD720p24
under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, I set for 1220 x 720 @ 15 progressive frames per second. The export settings dialog under Advanced Button/Video Tab looked like the following
I watched the playback of this AVCHD.mp4 export and again did not observe any out of sync audio.
All video playbacks were with Windows Media Player 12.
Have you worked specifically with the video clip that you provided for download? If you have and you
found out of sync audio, then I am suspecting that this might be a system rather than a video problem.
It is a way out stretch, but...there have been some strange display goings on with Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card drivers recently. For all these cases, the answer has been rolling back the video card driver instead of the typical "making sure you have the latest version of the driver installed". What video card are you using in your computer?
Please review and then we can decide what next.
Just a note...this is a public forum with many viewing. Please do not post anything that would invade your privacy or is of a personal nature.

Audio/video out of sync after export

My son Charley and I are working on a simple project, where we have imported an MP4 file into Premiere Pro, then edited it, with no problems, but when he exports the file (either to an MP4 or FLV), there is a small but noticeable audio-video sync problem on the exported file. There does not seem to be a sync or other problem with the source file, nor with the edited file as viewed within PP. But on the exported file, the audio seems to run slightly ahead of the video.
When we upload one of these exported files to Youtube or Vimeo, the sync problem seems to become more noticeable than in viewing the exported flv or mp4.
We cannot find a solution in searching the Forums. Charley consulted with another more experienced videographer, and they tried for hours to no avail.
Charley is using Premiere Pro CS5.5 on a Mac (MBP Mid-2009 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, using OSX 10.6.8).
We see lots of discussion about frame rate. Charley put the settings to 'match source' but maybe there is something else we're supposed to do.
He can post screen shots of all the settings, if that will help. Adobe provides no phone support for PP and just sends us back to this Forum.
Any help much appreciated.
Michael Lanning

Kevin: OK, that's helpful. Charley is at work until 3:15 Eastern; in the meanwhile, I'm trying below to reply to your inputs; sorry if some of my questions are illogical, just reflecting my confusion.
You say to match source settings, including audio sample rate, and (I think) that we should do that by creating a new sequence at which time we select the clip and drag it to New Item button. Perhaps doing that would make some of the following questions irrelevant, I'm not sure, but here they are:
We did not check the box "Match Sequence Settings" (just under 'Export Settings'); should we have done so?
On Presets, and using FLV vs H.264:
Do we need to leave the 'Match Sequence Settings' box Unchecked if we want to use a YT or Vimeo Preset?
FLV does not seem to have a pre-set for YT or Vimeo, but does have one for 'Web.' H.264 does have YT and Vimeo pre-sets. As I've mentioned, we have been trying to make this work with FLV, as Charley found that H.264 was giving us (worse) sync problems. Maybe we should go back to H.264.
You say that "if these things don't work, "...try an similar H.264 preset to upload to" YT. Do you mean to suggest that we try exporting in H.264 instead of FLV? (If that's not what you mean, and if we still work with FLV, then I don't know what "an similar H.264 preset" would be; do you mean like the 'Web' preset?
Whether FLV or H.264, I'm unclear how ensure audio sample rate matches source.
Codecs listed on source file are H.264, AAC; does that imply that under 'Basic Audio Settings' on Audio settings tab, we should use an AAC codec rather than the MP3 now indicated?
Should we be determining the bitrate settings of the source (ie, right click the file within PP to find the properties, including bitrate?) and then using that bitrate?
Or do we resolve all this about audio sample rate simply by creating a new sequence as discussed above?
I hope these questions make sense. Thanks again for your help.

Audio & Video Out Of Synch after Editing

I edited a clip, and the audio went out of synch with the video. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?
Kate

Kate,
Tell us more about this Clip. What format is it in? Be as specific as possible. AVI doesn't tell us enough. What CODEC is inside? G-Spot is a great freeware program for giving you that info www.headbands.com/gspot
How does it go out of sync, i.e. drifts from beginning until it's way out at the end, or starts out of sync in the beginning?
There are likely workarounds for getting it back into sync, but those methods will depend on your answers.
Good luck,
Hunt

Importing Captured Video from XSplit. Audio/ Video Out Of Sync

So, I have looked all over the Adobe site before posting this question. When I import video (regardless of using the file>import or dragging the file into Pr6 directly) the audio and video desync really really fast.
I've seen some thins all over, but it seems people are dealing with old vhs files, and iphones. That certainly isn't the case here.
I recorded my files through XSplit Broadcaster. It was a local recording, nothing livestreamed. I have never had issues with Pr6 or any sync issues before. When I view the file before importing, in windows media player, ebverything is perfect. Everything starts and stops at the same time, every action comes with a sound spot on. Nothing is out of sync. However, when I plug the file into Pr6, the playback goes mental. So, i figured that I could just encode the file, and maybe it was just a playback issue. This is very much NOT the case. When I encose the video it desn't get any better. This shows me it's definitely not just a playback bug, but something with Pr6.
First of all, is this isolated to the most recent version? I havent recoeded in a month or 2, but I've never had any issues sending xsplit mp4 files through Pr6. Definitely not with audio/ video desync. If anyone could help me out here, i would be more than greatful. I don't have any leads because as mentioned already, everyone else was dealing with iphone videos or old VHS files. Mine are all Mp4 files, recorded locally and directly through XSplit Broadcaster, and the video plays perfectly fine in windows media player. The only thing I have to go off of, is something about constant/ variable frame rate. But again, I have never experienced this issue before through any xsplit recordings. In the meantime, I'm off to test other samples.
I don't know if it helps, but the video in question is roughly 40 mintes long give or take. It's one of the longest videos I've has Pr6 process, but it sahould by no means be an issue. I have 16GB of ram available, and 9-10 are dedicated souly to Pr6 and it's encoder.
I can not stress enough that I have never had any issues before over the past almost a year of using Pr6 to edit my videos. PLEASE respond only if you have potential ways to help me, not just for discussion points.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I don't have a lot of free time, so I need this issue resolved as fast as humanly possible. Time is money, as they say.

Webcam audio & video out of sync

Is there an easy fix for the webcam so I could get the audio & video in sync? One of them lags more then the other I think the video lags more, on playback.
A305-S6841

Welcome to the forum.
PrE is designed to work best with footage shot on a video camera, and pretty well well with footage shot on a digital still camera, that also shoots video, but with limitations. It does not do so well with Webcam footage, or video screen-capture footage, say from FRAPS, or similar.
It also lacks a real, live-capture module, like PrPro's OnLocation, so there will likely be limitations.
What are the full specs. of the files generated from the Webcam? There might be a workaround available, though maybe not.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - one of our trusted contributors, Neale, does use a Webcam (Logitec, IIRC), so he might have some good advice for you.

IMovie ' 08 Audio/Video out of sync!

For some reason my audio/video in a 50:23 minute captured video are out of sync in iMovie '08. If I reveal the original .dv file in the finder and open it with Quicktime IT IS IN SYNC, but in iMovie it seems to start ok, but gets increasingly out of sync later in the video. This is evident in the Event Window, in the Project Library, and after exporting to Youtube. I've tried everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25603?viewlocale=en_US
- Yes the DV camera WAS set to 16bit audio.
- I just updated Quicktime and iMovie, deleted the events and re-imported the seemingly okay .dv file, but they were instantly out of sync in iMovie again.
- Since "extract audio" isn't available I tried to do it as described here:
http://imovie08.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-extract-audio-from-clip.html
...but it didn't work.
Any other ideas?

Audio/Video out of sync when exporting to MPEG4

I am working on a project that is being edited on FCP 5.1.4
Anyhow, there is problem when exporting to MPEG4- the audio/video is out of sync.
Sequence settings show 29.97 editing base with 48 mhz sound, which is the same as the MPEG 4 settings, but they are not in sync. Anyone encounter this problem? I've never had this problem before previously.
Thanks
Caitlyn

Hi Harm,
last time you suggested the same but I wouldn't know how to take the BM card out of the equation. I only have on station. If I export to Beta SP there is no problem.
