Audio crackles through TV upon DVD burn, sounds fine on the computer

I'm trying to burn a DVD of some music videos in DVD Studio Pro. All the files were converted to Mpeg2 from the original quicktime files or h264s. Most of the songs sound fine when played on the burned DVD through a TV, but there is one where the audio clips and sounds crackly coming through the TV speakers. It doesn't sound like that on the computer though. Admittedly, the mix on the sound file is horrible, and I am pretty sure its more than just a volume issue. I have extremely limited knowledge on audio mixing though, and also don't have access to the original mix, just the audio that's already on the finished video. Is there something (novice-level difficulty) I can do to the audio export to see what's causing this problem and try to minimize it? Thanks so much.

Your audio levels should never peak above -4db.  I really aim for between -8db and -6db for videos I do for the web. But if it is going to play on the TV, the peaks should never go above -12db...that's actually a network standard.  Audio that peaks too high will distort.

  • Music through earphones is distorted yet sounds fine from the speakers?

    The music through iTunes comes through fine but when plugging in earphones, the music sounds distorted, distant, and sometimes not at all. This just started today when having used it so often before it never happened. How do I fix this?

    OK, then that would appear to be the computer output rather than the headphones themselves. One thing out of the equation.
    As a test, you might try reducing volume levels; or have a look in Audio MIDI setup and see if changing any of the settings there help.
    Additionally, is this all the time or when something else is attached (either power cable or by USB, etc.); or is there any other device nearby?

  • I use Keynote on iPad2. Video out via composite AV cable, audio out through earphone socket. If I plug into the earphone socket first, then the AV cable - no sound. AV first, then earphone - sound. Anyone know why?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I have burned a CD and the first 1/2 of the songs sound fine but the rest are not clear

    I have burned a CD and the first 1/2 of the songs sound fine but the rest are not clear, they have a skipping sound to them.  I have erased teh CD-RW and tried again and it was somewhat better but the last few songs did the same thing.

    Jennann,
    First of all, it is better to use CD-Rs than CD-RWs, as the latter often give problems when used for audio CDs.
    The problem you describe -- bad audio on the later tracks of an audio CD -- can almost always be corrected by doing the burn at a much lower burn speed. Use 2x.
    The burn speed is selected in the dialog box that comes up when you request the burn.  It defaults to "Maximum Possible," but there is a dropdown to select a lower value.

  • Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall

    Creative Cloud update fails with "the download appears to be corrupted" when tried through our company's firewall, but succeeds if the computer is taken outside the firewall. The IT guys have opened up the ports and URL's specified in the Adobe documentation.  I have also captured the network traffic of both the failed and successful downloads for IT to examine (using Little Snitch), however they can find nothing to account for the problem.  Adobe just seems to "give up and die" after about 2-3 minutes.  Why is this?  How can I or IT fix this?
    Can I send the above log files to someone familiar with these issues for examination?

  • Black Levels Boosted Upon DVD Burn

    I realize this topic has been covered and have read the many threads on this and on other forums. I have used the FCP forum in the past and thank anyone who has ever helped, well, anyone with a question. The link to purchase a Proc Amp is wonderfully informative and does nothing to remedy the problem or answer the question (for under $700).
    Is the workaround (yes, yet another workaround to add to the incredible list of hoop jumping - try using Soundtack Pro to alter audio clips not captured in stereo!) really to figure out a final "DVD export" setting that compensates for the black level increase? That's what I've gathered after a couple days of casual research and all today really trying to tackle the problem. Sorry, just a little frustrated.
    If anyone was patient enough to read this all the way through and has a better idea than dropping the video level before exporting to Compressor/Quicktime please let me know.
    Also, why is the problem not nearly as noticable in my three year old version of iDVD?
    G4 Dual 1.25, 2GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   FCP5.03 DVDSP4.03

    When you say "black levels boosted," do you mean you have too much black or not enough black? In other words, is your complaint that things are too dark, or that blacks are no longer "true" black?
    From your text, it sounds like you're complaining that your footage is too dark.
    Most complaints, however, are that compared to DV footage, the MPEG2 results are washed out. This is because they're comparing footage that has no "setup" (i.e. playing video directly out of the DV camera) with footage that has "setup" (i.e. playing video from a DVD player, which defaults to black equalling 7.5 IRE rather than 0 IRE). This is why you've seen the "proc amp" recommendation elsewhere.
    Can you describe your workflow in detail? It sounds like you're probably using DV footage--is that true? Are you exporting out of FCP into Compressor directly? Exporting a reference movie first? Exporting a movie and then encoding from QuickTime? Other?

  • Burned dvd has sound when played on computer, silent in dvd player

    I have a file from final cut express. The dvd's burned just fine using idvd 06. When I try to burn a dvd with idvd 08, the sound is present when I play the dvd on the computer's dvd player, and on the portable dvd player, the dvd is silent in the jvc dvd player. I read in the help topics that older dvd players might not play home burned discs, which seems ridiculous - I didn't have this problem with 06. Is there a preference I'm missing? The file, video + audio, is 670 mb. I've tried making an image file and burning a disc with that (by dragging the file onto the disc - is that how to burn an image file?) - the picture looks fine, the audio is still missing. I'm using maxell discs, and have tried "best performance" burn quality.
    thanks in advance -

    After looking at my post yesterday, I can see it was a bit harsh, sorry! We all have ways of doing things, it just that in my experience after wasting considerable time and money, trouble shooting over the years, the suggestion of a once a year install, has really reduced issues with my up-time.
    If you look at it this way, Apple always releses a new OS once a year, so for me, its a good time to freshen up the OS an clean out any issues I've had with the functionality of the Mac.
    A good example was this last upgrade to FCP Studio. If any of the old preferences from FCP or DVD SP were left behind, many people, (here) had issues with performance, or a working system at all and yes for many tossing the preferences helped. For me, the 3 hours of doing a freash install, was worth a full years up-time, (but that's my preference) but as you pointed out, many times not nessary.
    PDTV, again, I apoligize for the poor way I posted and I do respect your opinion on this matter, I however do have a different approch to this, due to time I had wasted in the past. I hope you can respect mine and others approch to this.
    Again, I meant you no disrespect. I hope you accept my apology.

  • Can't get sound out of the computer

    Song file should play thru the computer speakers, but it doesn't. I'm getting MIDI input into Logic, but something is missing farther downstream. It has worked in the past, but that was a year ago and I've forgotten how to do it. I can't use it at all until this problem is fixed. Too bad Logic is so complicated!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)   MIDI keyboard, TASCAM MIDI interface, Logic Pro 7 with EXS24

    Fr.BlayZay, I'm not sure what screen you're referring to. The Preferences>Audio>Drivers>Core Audio screen is accessible either through LogicPro>Preferences>Audio... or through Audio>Audio Hardware and Drivers... In either case, here's what my screen shows: Enabled (checked), System Memory Requirement 66 MB, Driver TASCAM US-122 selected (not Built-In Input or Built-In Microphone), I/O Buffer Size 512, Recording Delay 0, Max Number of Audio Tracks 32, 64Busses (not checked), Universal Track Mode (checked), Larger Disk Buffer (checked), 24 Bit Recording (not checked), Software Monitoring (checked), Process Buffer Range Medium, Rewire behavior Playback Mode, Maximum Scrub Speed Normal, Scrub Response Normal. There's nothing about Default Output on the screen. Maybe you can give me a clue about how to access the screen I need. Thanks! (and unfortunately this part of Logic is NOT fun!)

  • System recovery DVDs was almost finished when the computer went down

    Notebook Pavilion dv6 VA179EA. Bought Recovery DVDs from Best2serve, Business partner to HP.
    After 3 discs inserted and final installation started (with a couple of restarts) - the computer just went down and did not start again. Waited for a while and started the computer. When windows started I got a failure message "The installation was failed, install again".
    Did a check F1 and F2 and the tests passed fine.
    I have tried to install three times by now with the same result. I am extremely happy if anyone can help me. I think I have read everything on the support pages .-)

    Hi,
    I would try wiping the Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System.
    Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire drive ).
    http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
    http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
    Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
    During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Recovery DVDs will reformat the HDD.
    Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
    A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
    Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ). 
    When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD,insert the your first HP Recovery Disc and then hold down the power button until the notebook shuts down  Then restart the notebook to try the installation again.
    Regards,
    DP-K
