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.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In

Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Burned DVD loses audio near the end.

I am running IMovie 11, IDVD 7.12 on an IMac 2.7 Ghz i5 OS 10.8.2. I worked for about two months creating an IMovie that covers my family's entire seventeen day trip to Greece and Istanbul. It has a lot of title slides that explain in detail what we saw. I purchased copious amounts of Greek and Turkish music and appropriate sound effects. The Movie is about 150 minutes long. I previewed I Movie and it worked great. I transferred to IDVD by using share IDVD. I chose Professional Quality and wide screen, NTSC and Dual layer disc. The DVD preview worked great, however after burning the disc there were two problems. First, the intro theme with drop zones and scene selections failed to appear. I suspect that was because there was something on the initial menu tile in the map. I suspect that created an autoplay but won't know until I burn another copy. Does that make sense to you?
Second, at about the 130th minute all of the audio was muted. Pictures and video footage were there also all of the title slides but no audio. I called Apple Support and since I am still qualified under Apple Care they agreed to help. First attempt was to delete the previous encoding and re-burn. that took three hours but the disc had the same problems. (At that time, neither myself not the apple tech thought about the autoplay feature, as I was most concerened about the audio problem.) After that disc failed again I called Apple Support again. This time we cleared out the autoplay function, trashed the two preference files for IDVD in the preferences folder and shutdown the computer. I started it back up by zapping the parameter ram. Option, Command, P and R buttons on start-up. I am currently re-encoding and reburning another dual layer disc. If this doesn't work, could the problem be the size of the project? Is there any way that I can take my IMovie project and split it into two sections of about an hour and fifteen minutes each then burn them through IDVD to two different discs? If this would work please tell me how to make a copy of my IMovie project and how I can split it in two. Also any other ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Why does the Video looks Pixelated after Burning DVD

In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great, when I burn the DVD it comes out very very pixelated. I've changed the preferences from Best Performance to Best Quality, and the project properties as well I've done the same. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I'm using 16:4 aspect ratio Video Size is 1280x720
Help

How are you viewing the DVD you created - on a computer or on a TV?
In IDVD when I preview the video it looks great
The preview uses your original content on your hard drive and is simply designed to allow you to see if the 'flow' (sequences, menus, etc) are what you wanted.
In addition, although iDVD 'supports' HD, it only supports it in the context of current specifications - not the new HD DV world that has two competing HD DVD formats.
This means your 1280x720 content gets downsized and compressed to fit on a 720x480 DVD. The video must be 'expanded' to play on a HD set.
BTW, your aspect ratio is 16:9 and NOT 16:4. 16:4 would REALLY be widescreen! I haven't seen THAT spec yet.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

Apack sounds fine - Simulator/burned DVD definite audio pumping

Can't understand why after many days research/testing/fiddling I cannot seem to get the AC3 audio to play cleanly in DVD SP 2 simulator or when burnt to DVD...the FCP 4.5 audio is set between -12 and -6 (peaks), export as aiff files, compress in Apack at 192 kbs, stereo, -31 dialnorm (return entered), sounds great/fine when played back in Apack...import into DVD SP 2 and there is definite gain pumping or whatever one calls it throughout some tracks. Host will be speaking, at certain points, the volume will rise up, then the level will dip down for a second or two, then rise back up a bit even increasing the background hiss just a bit, then remain constant for a while, then rise up/down again...at least this always happens in the same places.
Wonder why only in DVD SP/burned DVD does this happen, and how does one overcome this? Very annoying.
Thanks much

Just to be sure - are you hearing this in DVD Player or on a set top player?
If you look in the DVD Player preferences, have you got the disable dolby dynamic range compression checked or unchecked?
If unchecked, this can give you the same effect as you describe... so try checking it and playing the disc again.

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?

Pixelated, interlaced pics after burning dvd

my first dvd I burned from the project I am working on was fine but needed a couple changes such as sound and buttons. When I burned the final DVD I am having problems with the last slide show. The last 10 pictures are coming out interlaced. Not sure if that is the right term but they are all screwed up. I have replaced the pictures, restarted and quit out of all programs that I don't need before burning. Any suggestions?

Hi
Two possible reasons:
a. Using the Share/Export to iDVD function in iMovie. Don't two errors occurs:
• The DVD will show a severly pixelated result.
• YOUR original movie project is Destroyed ! Photos needs to be re-imported and
re-edited.
Instead when done:
• Close iMovie
• Open iDVD
• Import Your movie into iDVD. Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better.
b. Low amount of free space on internal (start-up) hard disk gives strange behaviour
and result. Other hard disks don't counts.
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space
10 Gb might work
less than 5Gb Your Mac will have severe problems of many a kind.

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?

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.

DVD Digital Audio Out

I'm new to the Mac world, and I was wondering does DVD player in Mac OSX do digital audio out? I'm currently using a Dell XPS. I watch all my movies on it and it's connected to a surround system. When I play movies it sends the Dolby Digital signal straight to the Amp where it detects the digital signal and decodes it. Will this work the same way in OSX as long as I use the optical out on the Mac Pro?
Thanks.

The Apple DVD Player Software may need configuration in order to enable Dolby Digital 2 and DTS Passthrough. Otherwise you will only have 2-channel Stereo LPCM. While most Amps will be able to use Dolby Pro-Logic 2 to emulate Surround Sound, Dolby Digital 2 and DTS support 5.1 Surround Sound.
With your Amp connected to your Mac with an Optical Audio Cable, and no DVD in the drive, start up DVD Player.app.
In the "Disc Setup" Tab of DVD Player Preferences, select "Digital Out - Built In Output" from the "Audio Output" option.
You may have to reset this every time you connect or disconnect the Optical Cable, but the Improved Audio is worth it.

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