Audio burp after idvd burn, but fine on computer preview

Help. I created a dvd using idvd 6 for a wedding with 179 slides and 4 songs. First burn with 140 slides and 3 songs was fine. Second burn after 40 additional slides and 4th song has a burp in the 3rd song. Removed songs and re-added but has the exact same problem after burning again. It plays fine on the computer. Is there anything I can do to correct the encoding or burning process? Wedding is in 2 days. aarg. Thanks,

Hi
Where did Your audio originate ? (file type)
• Audio-CD (normal one)
• From iTunes (Copy out as an Audio-CD (.aiff)
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc ?
I only use .aiff audio in my projects except audio from miniDV tape Camera.
I would
• trash iDVD pref file
• secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk IMPORTANT
• first replace all strange audio with .aiff audio
• skip the iDVD project and make a fresh new one
• make a DiskImage and test this with Apple DVD-player
• still OK Burn either via iDVD or rather from the DiskImage with
Apple Disk Util tool (or easier Roxio Toast™)
on as alreaddy stated
• Verbatim DVD
• DVD-R (no +R or+/-RW)
• at an as slow burn-speed possibly (eg x1)

  • How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

  • IDVD burning - but playback shutters

    Recently I made a quick 8:31 slideshow using iDVD.
    I added a 3:36 mp3 file for background sound (which will loop). I select the Road Trip template in 4:3 and then completed the slideshow. Burned it and then played it in a DVD player.
    The sound and slideshow hesitates at around 6 min and then continues to play after a few seconds. I have burned 4 DVDs in a verity of different ways.
    I burned direct and burned off of a image. Either way the DVD hesitates and then plays at around 6 min.
    Weird. Any ideas?
    iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6) I do it all...

    Paul,
    The problem is that iDVD treats slides in a slideshow as chapters (thus the old 99 slide per slideshow limit because there is a limit of 99 chapters in a Track).
    Some set top DVD players don't handle the audio well at chapter breaks. The only way to insure continuous audio is to create a slideshow movie in iPhoto of iMovie.
    It certainly seems to be a bug and I have reported it. Also willing to send the DVD project to Apple for review. This is a problem that deserves attention.
    It's not reall a bug in iDVD - it's a bug in the way some manufacturers DVD players treat the multiplexed video/audio stream. Things have worked this way since the first version of iDVD.
    Also, during playback while in iDVD the problem does not manifest.
    The Preview playback function in iDVD is ONLY for checking that the menu structure works the way you expect it to. It tells you absolutely NOTHING about the finished disc quality because it simply plays back the original content.

  • Dual layer DVD will not play after iDVD burning

    Hi All,
    I am having some trouble making a useable DVD. I have a video that I recorded and imported into iMovie (2h33m long). I exported it to iDVD, which told me that I needed to use a dual layer DVD to make it fit. Here's where I noticed the first problem: iDVD has one option for a dual layer disc, stating that it has 7.7GB storage space, and my discs have 8.5GB. I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD. After burning two discs, I still do not have one that works. It comes up as "supported disc not available" on my Mac, and as a blank disc on any other machine I put it in. It will run on my coworker's brand new iMac, but that is the only one. Am I doing something wrong? The only mistake that I have corrected since I have tried all this is changing the aspect ratio back from 4:3 to 16:9 in iMovie (I am not sure how that happened, as the video was originally recorded in 16:9). I am re-exporting the file to my desktop now in the proper ratio, and changed the quality to HD. I am waiting for the file to encode as we speak. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this work is for my local school board and is very time sensitive.
    I am running a 28" iMac, 2.66GHz Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB hard drive on OSX 10.6.8.

    I set it to use the standard setting for the DL disc any ways, turned the quality down a bit to make it fit, and burned the DVD.
    That part I don't understand.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t.  The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • Audio Skips After Being Burned?

    I have recently burned 2 DVD's using Encore CS5.1. In both, I have multiple timelines, all with individual videos. After checking each DVD, I have come across a recurring issue. After burning the DVD's, one timeline (video) on each DVD has audio issues. The audio files skips, but the video plays normally. Why is this, and how do I fix it?
    I am using AVI videos, and having Encore transcode them.

    Stan,
    The audio came from many sources, including DSLR clips, wav files, camcorder 5.1 clips, etc.  My first attempt to transcode and burn in blu-ray was successful, but I had not yet added my Encore menus, my After Effects stuff, my additional Premiere Pro timelines (as extras on the disc).  By successful, I mean that the video and audio worked as they were supposed to.
    Then I added all my menus and buttons, my timelines, my encore chapter markers (in Premiere Pro), and I linked the buttons to the chapter markers in Encore.  When I burned the disc, I discovered that, although the navigation worked perfectly, there was that strange audio hiccup in my original (non-extras) sequence's timeline.  By the way, the additional (extras) timelines play perfectly with both video and audio.
    I am now resorting to exporting the original sequence as an H.264 Blu-ray media file from Premiere Pro, and will attempt to import it into Encore to replace the offending timeline.  I guess that means that I will have to relink all my buttons to new chapter markers in the new timeline.  I'm not sure what else I can do.
    Thanks for the help.  I hope I answered your question.

  • Unwanted text after iDVD burn

    After burning a Slideshow in iDVD the text 'Drag photos or movies here' appears on the diagonal across all pictures in the slideshow when played on a DVD. This does not appear in the Preview phase on the computer before burning is commenced. How do I get rid of this unwanted tex?
    G4 iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    John,
    Under iDVD General Preferences item 'Show Drop Zones' had been enabled, hence the text was superimposed on the selected picture. Once 'unticked' the text disappeared.
    Thanks! That's something I had missed in the past because I had always added a background photo. Unchecking that box and using a theme like 'Full Frame' gives a nice gray background for those who want a simple DVD menu.

    We recommend a download manager for users who have trouble with very large downloads. Getright (www.getright.com) is a good one for Windows, others are in the FAQ.
    You might want to disable the 'automatic' launching of getright and then just copy and paste the URL into Getright after you manually launch it. eg. Navigate OTN all the way until you get to an actual download URL (download.oracle.com) and then launch getright and paste that into the application.

  • IDVD burning one project on multiple macs? where are project contents?

    How do I burn one project on multiple macs? I have a idvd project I created in keynote, added music to it in Garageband, exported to quicktime, and now is in iDVD burning just fine. However I have tons of these dvd's to make, I would like to put all my mac's to work.
    last night i tried to share the file, and it is just an alias when i drag it over from the macbook it was created on to my imac. the file says it is in use and locked, since the macbook that created it is burning it. If I wanted to brun on the imac, I had to wait until the macbook was done.
    is there a way around this? What if I copied all files I used to make the idvd project to my imac or any computer i wanted to burn on? woudl it hen allow two macs to be burning the same project?
    I figured I could do this just like on my PC, drag the file over and voila...no such luck, its like if i had dragged a shortcut over to another pc...if the first one is using the file, its locked. Basically how do i get to the actual contents of the project, so I can also bring them over and hopefully it will allow me to burn on multiple macs at the same time?
    my next solution if that didn't work was to start copying dvd's using popcorn on the other macs while the macbook continues burning through idvd.
    Any opinions on how i can duplicate a dvd fast...need alot of copies!

    Also as to where the files are.

  • IDVD halts after encoding videos but before audio

    I have made many iDVD's of our travel pictures, including both pictures and videos. However, my current iMovie won't complet e the process and always stops after encoding the videos but does not encode the audios. At that point, the gumball just sets there and spins for many hours (overnight, etc.) and when using the "force quit" the drop down says iDVD not responding" in red. I have tried about 5 times with no result. Any suggestions as to what I should do will be appreciated. Thank you. R. L. Anderson, M.D.

    Hang in there. This is "Normal." In fact, contrary to what the computer is telling you, the computer is processing the audio.
    Adding audio to your iMovie causes this problem. There are two work arounds.
    1. Export your iMovie back to your camcorder, then input the movie back into a new iMovie, add your chapters and export to iDVD. The audio encoding may hang up but it will only be for a few minutes.
    2. Export iMovie as a Quicktime movie, then reimport the Quicktime movie to iMovie, add chapters, export to iDVD.
    If you search this the iDVD forum for "audio encoding" you'll see loads of messages on this topic.

    That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
    This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
    a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
    From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
    Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
    Thanks.

    It sure is. It also plays on my PC using VLC Player. So, I know that it was burned onto the DVD.

  • IDVD Burns Once, But Not Again

    I think I might be adding to the whole "iDVD not burning in the last minutes after hours of waiting" theme. The trouble the last couple of days I have been having is I get the first disk to burn and everything looks good. When it asks if i want to burn a second one, I say yes and put in another DVD (Sony). Then it starts to burn and just before the end (a minute or so away) and the whole thing freezes. It ejects the disc unburned. So I am totally stumped. It has done this twice now. I will look for a cleaner, but is there another issue? Thanks everyone. - Carlyle

    Can you save your iDVD project as a disk image file?
    From within your iDVD project, go to File->Save as Disk Image
    This process looks like the burning and will take just as long for the encoding, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several advantages to saving your iDVD projects as disk image files.
    It is more efficient and less stress on iDVD to burn your DVD disks from a disk image file.
    You can save a disk image file and safely delete your iDVD project and all the media used in it since it is all encoded into the disk image file. This can save you drive space because usually a disk image file takes up less space than the project.
    A disk image file can be transferred to an external drive or another computer.
    It is a great backup for your project.
    Many people have saved only the iDVD project and deleted the iMovie used in it and have been bitterly disappointed to discover that the iDVD project is useless without its media files available. An iDVD project should be thought of as a container with references to its media that iDVD pulls into the project just for the burn, but does not keep them there. The movies, photos and audio files remain where they are. If you move, change, rename or delete these, iDVD will not be able to locate them.
    To create a disk image file:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6733.html
    If the file is successfully created, you can test that it is ok by clicking on the file to mount it (you don't have to do anything with the files you see) then opening DVD Player (in Applications). The project should begin playing. If the project plays correctly, then you can burn your DVD disks from it using Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) following this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2087?viewlocale=en_US
    If you are not able to create a disk image file that works, but you do already have a burned DVD-R disk that works, you can use it to create a disk image file and then use that file to burn more DVDs. See this for help with doing that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2059?viewlocale=en_US
    Other suggestions.....
    Be sure you have enough free space for the burn. At least 20GB is recommended, but more is better
    Use a recommended brand of DVD disk. Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden are the most recommended here. I use Verbatim DVD-R and have never had a burn issue with them. I have occasionally use Sonys and they seem ok, too.
    Burn the DVD disks at a slow speed to get a more consistent burn...usually 4x or less.
    Post back if you have more questions.
