Apple -- Fix iDVD to work with MP3 audio! Geez...

For months now, iDVD will not burn a DVD if MP3 audio is used in either iMovie HD or iDVD 6.0.3. Apple, fix this ASAP; it's getting to be a real bore. iDVD is advertised as working with iLife, presumably this meant to include MP3 formated audio from iTunes. So come on Apple, get with the program (no pun intended) and fix this!

I am not sure where the joke is. Rendering and compression takes a good deal of time on any platform. The more compression (going to CD) the more time it's going to take. There was a podcast outlining a HD workflow and some of the trade-offs that were made so that each frame wouldn't take 3 minutes to render (keeping in mind that 60 seconds has 1,800 frames, NTSC). Real time compression cards are available, last I looked starting at the $2,000 range. So there are solutions- you just don't like them and expect Apple to do something about it, presumably within the iLife budget. Me too I suppose. But I don't really think that's going to happen.

  • When will Apple fix ITunes to work with Windows 7 (64)?

    After many attempts, iTunes (10.5.1) can not synchronized with iPod . If I import musics or create a personal folder, all info will disappear after I close and re-open later iTunes. However works perfectly under Windows XP.  It looks like an incompatibility problem between these two... When will Apple stop denying this and fix the problem?  Two other friends have Windows 7 and they experience the same problem! All programs (iTunes, QuickTime and Bonjour were uninstalled and all folders removed from the computer. Even regestries were cleaned up!....Re-installed twice but iTunes still not function normally as far as synch features.

    I don't know about iPod, but I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and other than a current problem accessing the iTunes store, it seems to work OK. I can sync my iPhone fine. Do you have a conflict with another software package you are running, like an anti-virus or firewall? It might not be, but in troubleshooting sync problems with my PC and iPhone previously, I found that I had a conflict with a firewall. The firewall has since been updated and is behaving nicely with iTunes now, but they can sometimes be a problem. Anyways, I hope this helps, but thought I'd mention that my Win7 x64 and iTunes 10.5.1 seems to sync OK in case it helps you to look for other causes to the problem.

  • My apple ID is not working with my apple store

    My apple ID is not working with my apple store

    I have the exact same problem as "Jan Olsen 1"
    I sent them feedback:
    "I was given a $25 iTunes gift card. 
    When trying to log on to my account, my password didn't work (though I entered the correct password THREE TIMES). 
    I requested help changing the password through an e-mail. Went through the process, changed the password.
    I successfully logged on to my account and entered the gift card information and was given a $25 credit.
    When I tried to buy mp3s, I was asked to enter my password - AGAIN. 
    I got one of the following messages each time I tried to enter my NEW password:
    'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).
    There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.'
    or
    'Verification is required.
    You must enter your AppleID and password, click Billing Info, and verify your payment information in order to make purchases.
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.'
    Don't know where to go from here."
    And then, just to log on to this forum, I had to enter my AppleID TWICE! Once, then again to verify my AppleID!
    Ridiculous! Frustrating!

  • Work with MP3 in intermedia

    I'm trying to work with MP3 but when i want to save my data i receive a message :
    You need ORDPLUGINS.ORDX_MPEG_AUDIO.
    I connect with ordplugins user and i see i don't have it, i have MPEG_VIDEO, MPGA_AUDIO, and others but not MPEG_AUDIO.
    Is there other form to work with MP3 or where i can found the plugin.

    Hi Israel,
    We will look for a format plugin when you set the format attribute of the audio object and then call setProperties. If the error you're getting says you need ORDPLUGINS.ORDX_MPEG_AUDIO, this implies you're setting the format attribute to 'MPEG' before calling the setProperties method.
    Our format plugin for MP3 is actually called 'ORDPLUGINS.ORDX_MPGA_AUDIO. In order to cause this format plugin to be called, you must either insure that the format is set to NULL or 'MPGA'. If the format is NULL, we'll call our default plugin and try to determine the format. If the format is 'MPGA', we'll call our mpeg format plugin.
    Let me know if this isn't your problem.

  • What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro

    What is the best dvd burning program with a nice menu like idvd that works with Final cut pro, I am wanting to burn mainly wedding dvds but also sports and other things we used to use idvd but then upgraded our computers and now we dont have it. idvd was the only thing i could find that worked.
    Thanks

    There is no real substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Sharing an iMovie as an MP4 with MP3 audio

    I have an iMovie that is complete. I have uploaded a Quicktime movie to Google video. The video plays but no audio. They are telling me that they prefer MP4 with MP3 audio. If I go to share in iMovie, I choose "export" mode. This gives me the MP4 option, but no way to change the audio to mp3. Am I missing something?

    iMovie doesn't use (or create) .mp3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) audio.
    From the Google video upload pages:
    Technical Requirements:
    We accept many popular formats, such as AVI, ASF, QuickTime, Windows Media and MPEG formats. For example, .avi, .asf, .mov, .wmv, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .ra, .ram, and .mod are all acceptable file extensions. Please note that we currently do not accept Flash files. Specific video codecs we accept include H.264, H.263, MPEG 1/2/4 and motion JPEG.
    The video must contain recognizable video content (video container files that do not contain video will not be accepted).
    The frame rate should be above 12 frames per second.
    The bitrate must be above 260 Kbps.
    The video must be at least 10 seconds long.
    If you have a video in another format, we will do our best to interpret it.
    Quality Recommendations:
    If possible, we suggest uploading the original source file. However, we recommend the specifications below for maximum quality and reasonable file size:
    MPEG4 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 2 mbps
    MPEG2 (mp3 or mp4 audio) at 5 mbps
    30 frames per second
    640x480 resolution
    4:3 frame
    de-interlace
    MPEG-4 Video and AAC audio codecs in a .mov container should work just fine.

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

  • APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

    APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
    I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

    It started working.....!!!!!  (It seems someone back there is listening)
    I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
    I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
    TIPS:
    I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
    I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
    My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
    good luck!!

  • Apple Tv does not work with youtube and movies on iphone or ipad

    I am on my 2nd generation apple TV. Always worked with Youtube, my iphones and ipads and Netflix.
    I think it started about a month ago.  I can only use Netflix.
    If I try YouTube and select a video (even if small) it just keep spinning and never starts.
    The same thing happens with my video from iphone 5S, 5, and ipad 2.
    Than I went to my sons house with a Apple TV 3rd generation and different wifi,
    same thing happens, I can not show a video from my iPhone 5S.
    What is going on, did Apple TV change something?
    Is this a update that went wrong?
    (I have auto update and also checked manually to make sure have latest apple TV FW)
    (All iphone and ipads are latest FW).

    Hi pcorsaro,
    You may need to restore your Apple TV and see if the issue is resolved after that process:

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.
