Audio alone line-out good...Audio w/video line-out weak

Trying my new 5th gen iPod today on my home audio system.
Using a 3mm miniplug to the line-out on the Universal Dock, audio by itself is very good, bumping the LCDs on my old Sansui equalizer all over the place.
Using the same connection and playing back Michael Jackson's Thriller video, the audio is so week that it doesn't even bump up a single LCD. (Note: volume is set to max on the iPod.)
What gives?
iMac G4 20-inch flat panel   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   30GB iPod; 60GB iPod, both 5th Gen models

You might want to right click that file in iTunes and go to get info. Click the options tab. See if adjusting the volume level there and then syncing your iPod helps.
Merry Christmas

    How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

    First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
    I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
    Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

  • Audio out of sync with video in timeline SOLVED

    The audio and video are in sync when playing .MP4 video (but may apply to other video files) in the Premiere Pro viewer and Windows Media Player and VLC however, as soon as you drag the clip into the timeline it goes out of sync. Since it took so much time for me to figure out how to get around this problem I wanted to share this, ESPECIALLY For all the people who are semi Adobe Premiere noobs (with no disrespect, I fall into this category) at this and google isn't helping to figure out why this is happening I'll give you the easy fix.  For all the people in this forum who are going to ask the detailed information, codecs, etc.  I'll give that as well.
    FOR THE NOOBS:
    All the information I've read online all seems to point that the timeline sometimes doesn't like certain audio contained in the video. It conforms incorrectly, etc. Personally, it doesn't make any sense to me. Forget all that.. you just want to get on with your project.. to heck with the details, you're tired of googling.  Here's the solution I found.  Extracting the audio from the problematic video file outside of Adobe Premiere.  I use avconv, because it's free, open source, and you won't lose audio quality.  Then linking that audio with the video in Adobe Premiere.
    First if you are using a windows 32 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win32/
    If you are using a windows 64 bit computer download avconv here: http://win32.libav.org/win64/
    go to the bottom of the page and click on the newest date version.  DISCLAIMER: This is open source software. It's free.  I didn't make it so I'm not trying to sell you anything.
    It's a zip file so you will need to use winzip or 7zip to uncompress it.  You can't just click on the installer. You can uncompress and save the program wherever you want on your computer.  Say you didn't pay attention and you automatically saved it in the default spot in your downloads folder.  The place you'd find the program might look like this if you're on a 64 bit computer: 
    C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64  If you're on a 32 bit computer it will probably look like this C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win32
    Just make sure you know where it is located and copy it down in notepad.  If you can't find it, do a search on your C: drive for avconv  .For this forum thread we will assume you have saved avconv in the downloads folder and you're on a 64 bit computer. 
    Click on the Windows key on your keyboard. Type in Run and then press enter. Type in CMD and press enter.  This will open up windows command line. Don't worry, it's not as scary as you think.
    Now hold down the Windows key and press E. This will open up a windows explorer window for you to find the video file you are having issues with in Adobe Premiere.  Once you have found the file, copy the location of the file.  So..  if your file was here:  c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4 you would see that at the top of the windows explorer in what's called the address bar.  Copy that.  Paste it into your notepad.
    Now switch back to the windows command line window.  Now I'm going to have you type a command into the windows command line but before you do I want you to understand how to type it in.
    #1. Do you know the exact path (location on your computer) where you installed avconv?
    #2. Did you copy the exact path (location on your computer) where you have your video file?
    If so..  type in the command below but change it with the information you have above
    C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe -i "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" -vn -qscale 1 "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav"
    So let's break it down so you understand and help troubleshoot any issues you may have.
    C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64  this is the example location we said we installed avconv.  The actual avconv.exe program is located inside that folder so the full path would be this: C:\Users\youruseraccountname\Downloads\libav-9.7-win64\usr\bin\avconv.exe
    -i just tells avconv what the input file is.
    "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.mp4" is the path (location on your computer) where your video file is.
    -vn just tells avconv you only want to extract audio from the video
    -qscale 1 just tells avconv you want the best quality
    "c:\Users\youruseraccount\videos\yourvideo.wav" just tells avconv the path (location on your computer) and the name you want to give the audio file you're taking from the video.  This will save the audio wav file to the path (location on your computer) where the problematic video file is saved.
    Once you have the audio wav file import it into Adobe Premiere.  In the timeline, unlink the audio from the mp4 (or whatever video file you have).  Highlight the now unlinked mp4 audio and delete the audio.  Then bring your audio wav file you created using avconv and bring it onto the timeline at the start of the video. Now link it.  Hopefully that did the trick.
    If you have any questions regarding the command line or installing avconv please feel free to comment and ask.  I'm pretty good at windows command line and can probably help identify what the issue is.
    FOR THE INFORMED PREMIERE PRO USERS:
    Here are the details of the problematic video file that I had this issue with.  This is from avconv:

    I don't know the type make/model video camera that was used or if it was converted before being given to me. This is just what i had to work with and the solution I found to fix it.

    if you are using a windows 32 bit computer
    Then you won't be using anything above Premiere Pro CS4, and this thread would be in the wrong section.
    By the way, the process is significantly easier using something like Xvid4PSP, which can strip out the audio using a fairly easy to understand GUI, as wel as convert those oddball videos into something PP can handle.

  • Seriously...Now I have to figure out why audio doesn't match video

    Good grief, come on!!
    I shot the video with a brand new HD canon.  I imported the video and it plays fine in the program manager (audio in synch).  However, after exporting (h.264) audio is out of wack by a few frames.
    I refuse to shell out $40 for support when I shelled out $1500 for this suite.  Yes, I tried to read all of the threads but quickly get buried.  I just want to export.
    Right clicking on the audio time line says (Source Audio 48000 - compressed stereo) and (Project Audio 48000 32 bit floating point stereo).

  • Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

    I have a 90 minute video timeline
    I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
    But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
    along with a 30 minute audio.
    Example:
    So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
    with a 90 minute music track
    Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
    Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
    Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
    a different language
    Etc.
    I realize i will need to make space (mb)  for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
    that would be fantastic.
    If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
    I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
    that might save me some guess work
    Thanks for any help :-)

    Hey Stan!
    Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
    I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
    And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
    I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
    Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
    Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
    2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
    I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
    For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
    I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
    Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
    Thanks again for your help and time :-)

    Hiya Mark.
    DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
    However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
    I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
    As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

  • Good 2-way video but audio clear only 1-way

    The problem is with audio during Mac-to-PC AV chats.
    I'm using an iSight on a 15" PowerBook (10.3.9) with cable ISP (tested 356kbps up / 3mbps down). The PC is newer Dell running Windows XP with Quickcam Fusion and similar cable ISP performance.
    The Mac and PC achieve good video and the PC receives good audio, but for some reason the Mac receives choppy, unusable audio and sometimes none at all.
    We followed all of the posts to make sure correct ports are opened on both ends, that SP2 and extra component are installed on the PC, that the PC's mic records correctly, etc. Went through the tuning wizards, the full duplex settings, fiddling in/out volumes, echo cancellation, bit rates and cps, etc. -- all of the things recommended by EZJim's posts and the links therein, plus all of the ideas gleaned from Logitech and iVisit and anywhere else we could Google (but obviously we're missing something
    First I tried iChat (2.1) to AIM (5.9) -- could not hear any audio at all from the PC.
    Next I tried iVisit 3.4.3 -- audio was trying to get through but was heavily clipped.
    Next, both parties connected to the iVisit Help Desk. The PC-PC connection was good for both audio and video. The help desk PC-Mac connection was good for video but once again the audio was too choppy to be intelligible.
    I connected to the iChat user test account at appleu3test01 and achieved excellent video and the incoming audio was excellent too.
    Using headphones to eliminate any potential feedback loop (even after trying with speaker volume way down) had negligible effect on Mac-PC connections.
    Anyone else experience this problem? Any ideas? On the surface, the problem seems to be with how the PC sends audio or how the Mac receives it -- but I've overlooked the obvious before so...
    I can give more specific details as to what we've tried. Appreciate any help!
    Thanks -sailhome

    EZ Jim -- thanks for staying with this -- I respect all the time and detail you are putting into helping.
         --- info still shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.3.6) ---
    Sorry to confuse you. I'm definitely on 10.3.9. I don't post very often and hadn't updated my profile recently. (FWIW, I still have the iMac shown in the profile Anyhow, no 10.3.6 issues lurking.
         --- using wireless internet connections ---
    I am using an Airport but it passes all the criteria. The Airport sits immediately behind the cable modem and the modem is not serving DHCP, only the Airport does that (no address conflicts). The Mac OS firewall is in place, but I have followed the instructions to open firewall ports per http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208 -- in fact I opened all of 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 to make certain nothing gets blocked.
    The computer is achieving 356kbps/3mbps wirelessly (dslreports) and has full bars in connection status. There have not been any packet error messages. The computer does not compete for bandwidth during AV sessions. I could hook the computer directly to the modem but given the high level of performance it does seem unlikely bandwidth is the problem.
         --- Connection Doctor ---
    Here are three observations from recent sessions:
    1) Using iChat-to-AIM the video quality stayed pegged at 100%, the frame rates hovered between 12-13fps, and the bit rates hovered at ~180kbps.
    2) Using iChat-to-AIM the audio icon was dimmed, neither party heard audio and Connection Doctor showed zero audio activity. Audio simply not available. This is perplexing because previously the PC could hear my audio fine, it was just my Mac that couldn't hear their audio.
    3) Using iVisit (I know you aren't familiar with it), video hovered at 25-30fps and bit rates hovered at 130-150kbps. Audio operated at a constant 32kbps (ADPCM setting). Bandwidth utilization was set to cap at 500kbps so there was plenty available had the application wanted it -- the point being that bandwidth does not appear to be a limiting factor in performance between the other party and myself.
    It appears there is enough broadband speed for iChat
    --- That is about all I know about "packets". You seem to know more about packets ---
    Only enough to ask dangerous questions
         --- If the problem occurs only occasionally ---
    I'll need to develop more AV buddies to reach a conclusion on that. My two buddy experiences with Mac-PC connection are consistent (bad audio). I'm in the process of making some Mac-based AV contacts -- would you be interested in testing a brief chat?
    My Mac operates fine (no quirks), is up to date (on Panther), I do the repair permissions protocol before/after every software install, etc.
    ISP connection is an interesting proposition -- but could that be the problem if video is running so smoothly both directions? I would think that if bandwidth were dodgy then video would fizzle out at least as quickly as audio (and probably faster since audio requires comparatively little bandwidth). Is there some sort of priority given to video when it comes to bandwidth utilization within the connection?
    From what I have gleaned, for Mac-PC connections the only free apps that currently support full AV chats are iChat-AIM and iVisit, so doesn't appear there will be other apps to compare against unless we start spending more money.
         --- certain buddy problem ---
    Checked out http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page15.html#CertainBuddy . That was interesting but none of matches my setup.
    Maybe it's time to throw in the towel and try Skype simultaneously with one of the functioning video apps. Was hoping for simplicity but is seems we've gotten way beyond that with this one!...
    Open to any more comments you (or anyone) have. Thanks again -sailhome

  • How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays  and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

    How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays  and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

    ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
    I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
    I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
    Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!

  • Audio / video fall out of sync

    I'm working on an interview project which needs better audio than my built-in camera mic provides.
    So, I recorded my audio separately during the shoot using Logic. I bounced an AIFF (48KHz - to match the video), and I thought it would line up perfectly with my video file in Final Cut Express.
    I lined up the beginning - perfect sync. However, several minutes into the clip, the audio and video start falling out of sync - more and more as it moves down the timeline.
    Does anyone know a possible solution for this problem? I searched, but I think I'm asking the wrong questions.
    Thanks!

    Make sure the sequence settings match the media. If that's not the problem, it sometimes works to modify the speed of either the audio or video if you can figure out by what percentage they're out of sync.

  • Updated FCP 5.1 to 5.1.2 - Audio and video now out of sync

    I just noticed in my software update that FCP needed to be updated. So I updated the program.
    Now when I open exisiting projects the audio and video are out of sync even though they appear perfectly in sync in the timeline. Has anyone else had this problem? The problem also persists when cutting clips in the timeline. I will use the razor tool to make the cut and I cut the clip on a ceratain frame in the timeline and then in the viewer the clip was really cuts a second or two later. Does anyone know what is going on?
    Very furstrating to say the least. Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Clay

    I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.
    Because the internal has more than enough to do running Mac OS X and the applications. It is constantly writing files. While DV video is at the lower end of the scale, it is still asking a lot of the drive's read and write head.
    I always used external drives, but we had many problems with delays and processing problems.
    At the very least, you should be using FireWire external drives. USB is no good for video as it delivers data in packets, not the sustained stream that video needs. The drives must also be formatted as Mac OS Extended. Windows FAT 16 of FAT 32 formatted drives have file size limits of 2 and 4 GB respectively. Anything larger is segemented and can cause problems on a Mac.

  • ITunes audio/video drifts out-of-sync

    I have for a while been having problems with watching videos I have downloaded from the iTunes Store on my PC. I'm running windows 7, all my drivers are up to date, and the videos play fine if I open them up in Quicktime. If I watch them in iTunes, however, the audio and video get out of sync rather rapidly... If I watch a show in iTunes, I need to pause and restart it every 30 seconds or so, otherwise it just becomes too annoying to watch. Clicking pause then play again syncs it back up, but again it doesn't last long. I open the files in Quicktime and they play just fine, and considering iTunes just uses Quicktime for video playback, the problem must be with iTunes. I have gone through several iTunes updates, hoping with each one that the problem gets fixed, but it never does... can anyone help me??

    Also been experiencing this for some time now, win7 x64 and same sort of pc specs to all you guys, fixed it just this evening so hopefully it's not just a fluke!
    Two things to do, first in quicktime preferences, audio tab, under the sound out field, rate change too 44.1khz, size to 16 bit and make sure channels matches you windows default. Now you need to make sure your audio driver software matches these settings (as that is the software that controls the sample rate and bit depth in shared mode); mine is realtek HD audio manager, so for anyone else who has that, go to the default format tab make sure it is '16bit, 44100hz (CD Quality)'.
    I'm not a big expert on this so I can't say why itunes suddenly has a problem with these settings or why it makes a difference, I just hope that this fix works for you as well because I have been looking for a solution online forever and it's driven me insane!
    Good luck!

  • Audio and Video are Out of Sync

    Hello,
    This seems to be a reoccurring problem for me and I'd love some help getting it resolved once and for all. After capturing footage, the audio and video are out of sync in the clip AND when I drag it to the timeline. When I go through each part, it looks like the video hesitates often, which seems to be causing the misalignment of audio. But, once it is moved into alignment, it goes out of sync again throughout the remainder of the one hour video.
    I'm capturing through a Canon Optura 50 Mini DV and editing with FCP 6.0.1. I have checked that the audio mode is set to 16 bit on the camera, and the capture settings have the audio rate for 48 KHz.
    This same problem occurred when I was capturing another event last week.
    PLEASE advise. It won't get aligned even if I take the hours and hours to move the audio left and right frame by frame.

    I am still wondering why you're recommending that I use an external drive for this project.

  • Bad video/good audio--slideshow?

    I took a video of my daughter's high school musical. The audio came out fine but the video isn't so good. I'd like to take some still photos that I have and merge them with the audio from the camera to make a slide show. Can anyone walk me through the process?

    If what you want to do is have the video continue running but put photos over some of the bad video, follow these instructions from iMovie Help:
    Inserting video clips or photos in a passage while maintaining running audio
    You can paste a new video clip or photo over an existing clip while retaining the audio from the original clip. The video cuts away to a new picture, but you continue to hear the sound from the original clip.
    To replace images in a clip while maintaining running audio:
    Choose iMovie HD > Preferences, and then click General.
    Select the "Extract audio when using Paste Over at Playhead" checkbox.
    Select the video or photo that you want to insert.
    Choose Edit > Cut or Copy.
    Do one of the following:
    To paste the entire video you selected in step 3, position the playhead at the first frame to be replaced. When you paste the clip, it will replace a portion of video equal to its length.
    To paste over a specific segment of your movie, select the part of the video clip you want to paste over. (To learn more about selecting part of a video clip, see Related Topics below.)
    If the video you're pasting is longer than the selected frame range, the excess video will not be pasted. If the video you're pasting is shorter than the selected frame range, the extra space will be filled with a color clip (or the still image, if you paste a still image).
    Choose Advanced > "Paste Over at Playhead."
    The audio track of the original video is retained and appears in audio track 1 of the timeline viewer.
    This should give you a nice smooth movie with interspersed photos with the video.
    Be patient, the extraction of the audio may take a while!
    If you want to ENTIRELY replace the video and just keep the audio, you have a couple of methods.
    1. Extract the audio from the entire movie. May take a while. Then, delete the video track, keeping the extracted audio track. Add your photos to the video track, adding transitions, adjusting the timing of the photos.
    2. Share the audio as an AIFF file, create a slideshow in iPhoto and use the audio track as your music for the slideshow. Start by selecting 'Share' to QuickTime, then choose compress movie for 'Expert Settings.' Then 'Share' and when the next window (save exported file as) appears, go to the dropdown menu buttons. For Export: select 'Sound to AIFF' and for Use: 'Default Settings.'
    Just the audio will be saved as an audio file.
    Then, open a new iMovie project, choose timeline view, drag in the audio file, and add your photos. You will have to see what effect you want with transitions, timing of the photos, Ken Burns effects, etc.
    If you want to be very professional and actually sync the audio to the photos in some systematic way, have a look at Karl Petersen's thorough explanation here
    Good luck....sorry that the original video was not good :_(

  • How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    How can I keep my audio track, delete a short segment of video, and reinsert a new video clip, without changing the audio with the way it lines up with the original video?

    If you have either iMovie 09 or iMovie 11 you can do this easily using the Cutaway feature.
    Go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
    Now you jut drag and drop the 2nd clip onto hte first clip at the frame where you want the Cutaway to start. A popup menu will appear. Choose Cutaway.
    Here is a good Tutorial.
    If you have iMovie 08, let me know. There is a way to do it, but it is more complex.

  • HT4108 What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4.  Left and right audio works ok

    What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4   The left and right audio works ok

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

  • Audio out of synch from video...

    After I finish a video and watch Full Screen Playback my audio is always a bit out synch from my video.
    I have a MacBook Pro. The clips I import are MOV clips....
    Any help anyone smart folk???
    Thankee,
    Sean

    Check to see if the timecode of the current video clips is correct, and matches what's on the tapes. If it does, it should be a simple matter of recapturing the footage with a media managed sequence. Be sure that you're running the latest software on the version that you're using too...
    You'll not have to re-edit that way, just recapture and see if things don't clear up. In the process you'll not disturb the current project nor it's media, so it's probably worth a try.

  • Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

    Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
    My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
    I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
    I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

    Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
    I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!
