5.1 mix AND Stereo mix on dvd

I have a project that has a 5.1 mix (i've already made an ac3 file through compressor) and also has a 2 channel stereo mix. I'd like them both on the dvd so if someone doesn't have 5.1, they can watch in stereo. Is there anyway to have it automatically detect? Or should i do a menu with 2 options (one to play the 5.1 and the other to play the stereo mix)?
Thanks.

User GregM claims it's possible.

I have never encountered a player that was that smart.
The fact that you have two different mixes indicates to me
that a well balanced mix is important to you.
Leaving it up to the DVD player to do a down-mix of the
5.1 to stereo is an unknown, and ultimately unsatisfactory.
So I would go with a menu choice to be absolutely certain.
I would also make the default audio, (in case the user can't be bothered
to make the choice) your stereo mix.

Problem creating mixed angle DVD

When importing the 2nd angle track I get the message :
The Video Asset angle.m2v is only usable up to 00:00:1;00. Use the first part of the asset anyway
I have the DVD SP training book and I know what the message means. However in comprossor I can clearly see I have no markers set and I am using the same closed GOP settings for both angles. Any thoughts besides going to CBR? I have a 2 hour movie that I just want to add some short angle segments for and I don't want to do CBR on the long movie. Thanks.

Hi Craig
Welcome to the forum.
I had a similar problem with a mixed angle DVD and it turned out to be a corrupted chapter marker in the track. I basically had to find it by trial and error, deleting half the markers and trying a build, if it worked I'd go back to the other half and delete half again, etc until I found it. In the end, after deleting the marker and replacing it I found that the build would always fail if the marker was placed at that particular GOP boundary - one boundary either side was fine but I'd get the muxer error every time if I tried to put it at that specific point.
If that doesn't work for you another thing I would suggest is to re-encode your footage from self contained movies of your tracks and don't use compression markers. Edit points out of FCP and compression markers force I-frames in the mpeg to give you a better quality cut in the mpeg. If the I-frames from one stream don't match up properly with the I-frames of another (you can have i-frames within a GOP but only I-frames can form the GOP boundaries) you could be getting GOP boundary mismatch error which isn't being picked up before the build - Internal Muxer Error covers a wide range of problems and isn't particularly descriptive.
Hope some of this helps.
Good luck

2 mono and stereo

I have clips imported that say 2 mono and stereo. What is the difference? Why did some come in 2 mono and others stereo when they were all shot on same cam same settings? Interesting the 2 mono wave forms are to distinc channels which tells they too are stereo.
Thanks!

When you captured, are you certain you had the audio capture settings the same for all clips? You can set it for Stereo, Ch 1 + Ch 2, Ch 1, Ch 2 or a Mono Mix.
And just because the waveforms look different on a pair of mono tracks, it doesn't automatically mean they're stereo. It could be just two distinct mono tracks from two sources, even if they were recorded at the same time.
You can easily change two mono tracks into a stereo pair by highlighting the clip in the Timeline, then go to Modify>Stereo Pair (Option l).

I need assistance in burning an imovie to a DVD. I've done this before, but am having problems this go around. When I get to the import section and insert the blank dvd it runs a few seconds and ejects it. Any ideas?

I am struggling with getting the imovie I just created to burn onto a DVD. I have done this before, I'm following the tutorial for imovie '09 and it isn't working after several attempts. Any suggestions? When I get to the import phase and insert the blank dvd it runs a few seconds and then spits it out.

My TV digital optical out is hooked up to my stereo digital optical port 2 without any 5.1 problems either, sort of.
My BP530 is hooked up to my stereo digital coax to digital coax but I cannot get any 5.1 sound at all. Not through any of the digital channels on the stereo at all.
The player only comes through as standard stereo through all 4 speakers and I am not sure if it is coming through the base speaker at all.
I have tried every setting on both the TV and the blue ray player to no avail. I have even tried to not use the digital on my blue ray but when the stereo is set to play from my tv optical I still don't get 5.1 sound.
When I do not use the TV optical out but I do use the digital coax out from the DVD player I still cannot play my DVDs in 5.1. I have new HDMI 15gbps HDMI cables and a new digital coaxial cable so I don't think it is a cable thing.
The real question is how do I get to hear my blue ray and DVD discs in 5.1 sound? Will this work if I exchange my blue ray player for a Denon 3D blue ray or other player?

Hello guys
I have a project in my Final Cut just about done. I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD. Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it. Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow. Thank you

Thank you Ross.
The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto. The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT, the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not. The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not. I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536. Please enlightenme. Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Stereo PCM

#Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Stereo PCM? Hi,
Have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum here and I'm having issues with having no audio when inputting Stereo PCM over Optical Toslink. I tried using both default and internal decoder, but no audio at all. It only works when using passthru/bypass mode. Tried a bunch of stereo inputs and had no audio at all. Is Stereo PCM not supported or what here? The test input streams were PCM two channel 48khz 6bit and 20bit. And Dolby Pro Logic is listed in the decoder tab with Auto, On, or Off. But maybe that isn't the same as Dolby Pro Logic II and that is why there is no audio. Only seems to work with Passthru mode only.

Satellite A25-s3072 and LG GWA-4082N DVD - IDE #1 error

Hi,
i just bought GWA-4082N DVD, firmware CS01. It doesn't want to work
with my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A25 ( Win XP SP2, latest available
bios v1.4). After turning it on, "IDE #1 error" appears, and windows
boots without DVD. And it does not appear in Device Manager.
I find a way to make it show up in windows by changing in BIOS
"Configuration" part from "All Devices" to "Setup by OS", but this
error still appears. Most probably ( didn't try yet, but people say
this) laptop will not boot from CD in this case. Also, laptop does not
show DVD if i don't open/close the tray during Windows loading! It
flashes the light on the BIOS loading stage, but disappear whn Windows starts to load...
DVD is set to Master by connecting 2 pins (45 & 47), as it was recommended
in some forums, but it does not resolve the issue.
Also, putting a paper to isolate 45-47 pins to make it Slave does not help either
(DVD is not shown in the Device Manager).
Is there a program (csel-changer) to change Master/Slave mode available?
I try also to reflash it with HV02 firmware from TDB page ( i understand
that this is for Toshiba laptops specifically , originally DVD came
with CS01 firmware). "IDE #1 error" still here.
Question is - are there any suggestions , how to make it works on BIOS level
with my laptop ? I need CD booting and hate IDE #1 error.
Is there any firmware specifically for Toshiba laps, for this DVD, which allow BIOS to recognize it?
Please, if you have GWA -4082N DVD working with your laptop, let me know what is a firmware version?
DVDinfo or Nero InfoTool can help to find it out.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Hi,
thanks a lot for answers!

Well, pin assignment _should_ be the same. I think it's a standard.
People with the same problem fixed it completely by connecting pins 45-47,
or by using csel-switch programs (available for NEC for example, but not LG).
> It is always best option to replace the drive with the same one.
I was looking for DVD burner, my present drive is Combo, but i need to write DVD.

Yes, i definitely will look for all possible sources :)
Problem is that this drive is new, probably not many users had it.
Or they were lucky with other brands of laptops.
As far as i saw, people managed to fix the problem with new DVD by connecting pins, change firmware, etc.
Unfortunately this is not my case :-(
BTW, i bought this laptop 3 years ago, so new compatible models of DVD will not be in the list (in manual),
and that models that are in the list are old, or even not supported any more :-\
Interesting thing is that i forced this drive to work (read, record, etc) by changing in BIOS
"Configuration" part from "All Devices" to "Setup by OS", so most probably pins are the same, but something
in the BIOS does not work properly , so no CD booting available.

Power on the computer and insert the DVD immediately.
Hold down the 'C' key to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD.

You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

Thank's and sorry for my poor english !
Ciao from Italy!

With two separate Assets, I would recommend doing one separate Timeline for each one, as this can circumvent some issues, when one gangs Assets onto one Timeline. If you need continuous play for multiple Timelines, then just use Playlists and you can choose to play any/all Timeline(s), and in any order desired.
Even with separate Timelines, one can still use Chapter Markers and can then use Chapter Playlists to access those as desired.
Make sure that you do NOT use any Overrides anywhere - use Playlists, or Chapter Playlists instead.
Happy authoring,

What is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

what is the best way to back up photos and videos to a dvd from iPhoto, not in iPhoto format but just in jpeg format to access on either windows or mac

When you export the videos out of iPhoto be sure to select Kind = Original. Otherwise you'll just get an image file of the first frame of the video.

Your profile says you have 10.6, so why bother with the original 10.5 OS?
But to your question, before you erase anything, make a backup of your data for safe keeping and restoration. Having an external hard drive for this purpose is most useful.

Jpegs and Movie on same DVD?

This may sound like a stupid question and I am new here...but, is there a way I could include a set of piks that can be downloaded onto a computer and using the same DVD to show a movie I made on a regular DVD player?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You should check "dvdrom content" in the DVD inspector within DVD SP. Then it lets you select the directory (choose) from which you want the content (including jpg's for example) included. What I do is to select a directory which contains my photo directory so I get a new folder on the DVD called something like "Photos."
Otherswise you get lots of files at the root level on the DVD which is confusing to users. For example, I have a folder on my hard drive called "DVDROM" and it contains a directory called "Photos" which is where the actual jpgs are.
It works perfectly for me.
