Audio disappears when burning in iDVD 6 from QT movie (from FCP)
Before burning, checked all the chapters and each plays with audio. When the disc burns it does encode the audio during the burning process but the only audio that is present when the burn if completed is the audio on the 1st menu. I only inserted video on menus two and three (using "Full Frame" menu) as I only want video; no audio on those two menus . I had to force quit twice and then ran Repair Permissions. Should have I trashed iDVD prefs and if so, is there only one to trash?
thanks for any help . . .this forum is invaluable.

drag and drop all incidents of the iDVD plist to the trash. Use the finder or spotlight to locate all incidents of plist for iDVD. Looks like this:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
secondly, you will need to repair permissions on the HD.
applications > utilities > apple's DU
third, delete all encoded assets from the advanced menu.
forth, recommend using different media like Verbatim DVD-R Minus media and burn from a disc image using apple's DU or Toast at 4x or slower.
fifth .....be very patient while it encodes and burns. i've seen some dvd's take up to 2 days.
sixth ....make certain you have no less than 20GB of available HD space.
Good luck!

Lose iMovie audio adjustments when burning to iDVD
Using iMovie 3.1 and trying to make an off camera voice audible by raising the volume control, but when I listen to the finished DVD in player, the off camera voice is so low it's inaudible. It seems that I'm getting a result opposite from the one i want. The off camera voice is recorded on one track only, while the on camera subject's voice is on both tracks.
Again, the adjustments sound fine in iMovie - it's only when I burn it to DVD that the off camera voice virtually disappears.Hi k
There are several things that can lead to this.
I don't use the share/export to iDVD from within iMovie but
- close iMovie
- locate the project folder and in this the QT.mov file (with Your project "name".mov)
- this I drop into a new iDVD theme window (just inside the edge of it)
- if You by any change drop Your QT.mov file on the desktop and rename
it => result - silent movie.
You may cahnge the name "my phantastic movie" when it is a title in the
iDVD theme window without any problems.

HDV imovie projects lose audio sync when burned in idvd
I have 80 min. HDV projects from imovie sent to iDVD, after burning them onto dvd they play fine then lose audio sync after about 60 min. or so.....
Painful in iDvd to do interviews when they happen to fall over the 60 minute mark, isn't it?
If it's of any consolation, it's more reliable in Apple's FCS2 / FCP => DVDSP.
Toast might be another option worth looking at....
Good luck on this. -
Imovie project when burned thru idvd looks horrible
I have worked for several months on making my first Imovie. It is about 1hr in length. It combines both narration, video, soundtrack and still images. When I previewed the project on imovie looked great. I can also export thru quicktime and it looks good, but not as good as it does in imovie. When I followed the directions on how to export to Idvd, I was unaware of how poorly the finished project looked in Idvd. I burned it and was let down as all my titles where pixelated and the still images are combing real bad. Also some of the images are jerky in the ken burns effect. I find this frustrating as I can save it as a quicktime file and it looks pretty good (but not as good as in imovie). It appears to me that everything I have tried as far as importing to idvd looks horrible when Idvd gets done with it. In fact even the Idvd menu I made looks pixelated and horrible. I am making this dvd to sell to others and to present at talks I am giving. The quality is so poor I am thinking about bagging the whole project. I noticed on the forums regarding both idvd and imovie many of the questions about the quality degredation in idvd dont get answered. Or when they do get answered, the answer is to purchase final cut or more software in general. What I want to know is can I make my excellent looking imovie look acceptable in idvd? If not, why? Why would mac make a option to make a movie project look good in imovie, but the only way to export it is to make it look horrible? Also, is there a way to make a dvd in idvd that looks as good as my Imovie project (without dropping 1,000$ for more software which I am not going to do as now I don't trust it until I see it first)? What am I missing here?
Hi Adam,
Just some general comments about exporting from iMovie '09. From posts on the forum, and from my own experience, it's best not to use Apple's preset export option "Share to iDVD". You may not have used this, but it produces an AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) movie that doesn't look good when burned through iDVD, for some reason. Odd, considering that iMovie edits in this format. _The option "Share to Media Browser" gives much better results._
You don't mention what format your source footage is (to the best of my recollection). This may have a bearing on the final result (burned DVD). Is it DV or AVCHD or some other format? iMovie '09 has a reputation for producing less than stellar results with DV footage, due to the way it handles interlaced material. AVCHD footage turns out quite well on DVD after editing in iMovie.
If you have not already tried this, export using "Share to Media Browser". In iDVD, from the Media tab, drag your movie into the background area of the iDVD theme, then proceed to set up the DVD as usual. When sharing to the Media Browser, you have a range of sizes to select from. Try Large (960x540) and also HD (1280x720). I've used both but see little difference, if any, in the final DVD. But I do get quite good results with both. The picture is softer and less saturated when compared with the original AVCHD footage viewed via the camcorder on an HD TV. This is to be expected, given one is HD and the other SD, of course. But it shouldn't be as bad as you are describing.
There are many posts about DVD quality on the forum. As you would be aware, some offer very good advice. Try different methods using a short test project to see what gives the best results for you. Look out for an e-book by Steve Mullen - not free, but some good tips there.
Hope this helps in some way. Quality issues can be frustrating!

Background audio disappears when an interaction slide appears
I have a (Captivate 6 produced) project which includes approx 40 slides and it looks to be running smoothly when published.
However, I have imported a background music audio track which I want to play (and then loop) during the course of the whole course - however, whenever it reaches a slide which has an interaction on it, the music disappears and then returns when a non-interaction-based slide is reached. Disappears again when the next slide is reached that contains an interaction, etc.
I am unable to test in earlier versions of Captivate and so I am wondering whether this is an issue with this version of the program i.e. background audio disappears when an interaction slide is shown?We don't have the 6.1 update yet, but I did find a workaround for this (although it's not perfect). With Captivate 6 there is now a "Play Audio" action that you can assign to the Slide Properties "On Enter" action. When I did this, the narration continues to play even after the Flash interaction appears in the timeline. So for any narrated slides that have Flash interactions, you need to:
1) remove the Audio narration that is imported to the Slide (Audio > Remove > Slide from the menu bar)
2) On the Slide Properties - On Enter action, select Play Audio, then select the appropriate narration file for that slide.
This seemed to work -- the only problem is that if you use the "Play/Pause" button in the Adobe playback navigation bar, the button seems to get confused and changes to the Play state while the audio is still playing (instead of staying in the Pause state until the audio finishes as it does when the audio is imported to the Slide itself as narration). Not sure how to fix that issue except to remove the Pause/Play button from the playbar and just use the Next/Back buttons. And if you use navigation buttons instead of the Adobe playbar, you don't need to worry about this.
Hope this helps! -

When doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there
Dear all,
when doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there is an yellow error message
Error in EXIT_ SAPMM07_004 : Object 10462311E06/52,Char."LOBM_UDCODE,Value 01 A0,error"VALUE_NOT_FOUND"
Inspection Lot : 10000283512
System Status : UD ICCO SPRQHi,
Did you use the follow up action in the UD code selection? It looks from the error that program is unable to find the UD code.
Kindly check the configurations in QM and see that everything is working fine?
Alternatively, if you are using the follow up action, then remove that first. Do the GR using MIGO -- this will create the inspection lot. Confirm the inspection using QA11 by entering the UD code for acceptance. Thereafter the the stock will rest in QI status. Use MB1B and perform the transfer posting with movement 321 to bring the stock to unrestricted use.

Hi,
I would like to copy my photos (from iphoto) and movies (from i movie) from my Mac book air to my imac in which I also have iphoto and imovie with photos and movies.
My goal is to have a unique source of photos and movies in my imac.
Thanks !
NicolasAs to iPhoto
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
For iMovie support please post in the iMovie forum

I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD. Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?
Hi
Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
two notes
No Audio in iMovie
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• Select needed audio to one new playlist
• Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this in the movie-project
Other origins are
1. strange / alient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GB-project and play some notes
• Close GB and Save
• Now try iMovie again
3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
• Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
Stuttering audio and video
1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
Mix down to one audio clip
3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• 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 - provoking 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.

Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
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

Skipped audio files when burning disc in iDVD.
I burned a DVD using iDVD version 7.0. The audio files sound perfect on the computer but on the disc there are skipped areas noted in three different audio files.
