Audio doesn't play in DVD player

Hello,
First post here, so be gentle.
When I burn a DVD, there is no sound when I play it on my dvd player. It plays fine when played on my Mac.
Here is what is going on:
1. capture HD video in imovie 06.
2. add chapters, no external audio or photos
3. export to idvd
4. check video in idvd, all looks good, includes audio
5. burn dvd
6. when burn is complete, play in DVD player
results:
No sound when playing video.
I am not sure where to go next, I will try another DVD player this evening. When creating a DVD with the exact same setup but not HD content, everything worked fine.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Bill

If it plays OK in your Mac, iDVD 'has done its thing'.
Not all set top like writable media - this might be your problem.
More likely, your problem involves a high level of burn errors resulting from low quality media and/or a high burn speed. Instead of going directly from iDVD to writable media, create a disk image file (an option under FILE). Use Apple's DVD Player to verify the mounted (by double-clicking on the disk image icon), then use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast to burn the disk image to writable media. Use good quality media (Maxell or Verbatim) and burn at a low speed (4x or slower).

DVD doesn't play in DVD player

I am very new to this. I am converting old videos thru a Conopus 300. I've edited them in Final Cut Pro and now want to burn them to a DVD. The first one I exported as a quick time movie and sent it to my Roxio. It seemed to burn but when I went to view it in my DVD player the player didn't recognize it. When I tried to do a quick time conversion it's taking 8 hours for the process. What is the quickest, fastest, easiest way to do this. Something doesn't seem right. Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem. Just used iDVD 08 for the first time to make a DVD. (have used older versions many times, with no problem). The finished DVD plays in the computer, but won't play on my TV DVD player.

Help - my DVD won't play on DVD player or pc

I have a new macbook pro, and have created a large photo album on iDVD. I have tried 3 times to burn it to a DVD to play it on my TV. The first 2 times the program said it only had less than a minute to complete, but went for more than an hour. The DVD's were burned, but would not play on DVD or PC, but would work on my Mac.
The 3rd time, it went through whole process and it actually completed and ejected the DVD, but when I put it in our player I got a "disk error" message.
I am using DVD-R discs. Can someone please help? Or other ideas on how to get a slide show burned to DVD to play on TV?
Thanks

Did you create a slideshow on iDVD, or create one in iPhoto and put that into iDVD or create a slideshow in iMovie? How many photos are in your slideshow? Some DVD players will not play more than 99 photos, and other players will stutter/skip/pause for a few seconds and then resume playing.
Did you do it like this?
From iDVD Help:
+Creating a slideshow in iDVD+
+Using the slideshow editor in iDVD you can create slideshows from images in iPhoto or from images stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server. You can also include movies in your slideshow.+
+To create a slideshow in iDVD:+
+Make sure the menu that the slideshow will be accessible from is showing in the iDVD window.+
+If you want the slideshow to link from the main menu, for example, the main menu should be showing in the iDVD window.+
+You can proceed in one of two ways:+
◼
+Click the Add button in the lower left of the iDVD window, and select Add Slideshow from the pop-up menu. A button labeled My Slideshow appears on the menu.+
◼
+Drag an album to the DVD menu. This automatically creates a button that links to the slideshow. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and, if the button is an image button, it automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.+
+Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.+
+The iDVD window changes to show the Photos pane if it is not already selected.+
+If you started by adding a My Slideshow button to your menu, the slideshow editor is empty, so you need to drag images to it from the Photos pane, described below.+
+If you started by dragging an album to your menu, the slideshow editor shows thumbnails of the photos in the slideshow. To view photos as a list instead, click the list icon in the upper right of the iDVD window.+
+Add, arrange, or delete photos or movie clips from the slideshow to create the sequence you want.+
◼
+To add images, drag individual photos or folders from the Photos pane or from elsewhere on your hard disk or a connected server to the slideshow editor.+
◼
+To add movies, drag individual movies from the Media pane or from elsewhere on your hard disk or a connected server to the slideshow editor.+
◼
+To reorder the images or movies, select the ones you want to move, and drag them to a different position.+
+If you add a photo album and do not reorder the images, the slideshow displays your photos in the order they are organized in the photo album.+
◼
+To delete an image or movie, select it and choose Edit > Delete, or press the Delete key.+
+Click the Settings button (shown below) and select the settings you want for the slideshow:+
◼
+“Loop slideshow” makes the slideshow repeat continuously until the viewer moves to a different part of the DVD.+
◼
+“Display navigation arrows” shows navigation arrows on the screen. It’s most helpful to display arrows when you set the slideshow to progress manually, which means the viewer controls movement from slide to slide. These arrows are simply a visual cue; the viewer must use the remote control to advance the slideshow.+
◼
+“Add image files to DVD-ROM” adds copies of the photos and movies to the DVD disc so viewers can download them to their computers.+
◼
+“Show titles and comments” lets you add titles and comments to the photos and movies. These are visible in the slideshow.+
◼
+“Duck audio while playing movies” silences any soundtrack you have added to the slideshow while the movie in your slideshow play. This ensures that the slideshow soundtrack and movie audio do not play at the same time.+
+Click the Transition pop-up menu and choose a transition to smoothly move from one image to the next. Only one transition can be applied to a slideshow.+
+To preview a transition, click the Preview button (shown below). The iDVD remote control appears. Use your pointer to click the arrows in the remote control, which highlights buttons on your menu. Highlight the button to which you have added a transition and click Enter on the remote control. Click Exit to return to the slideshow editor.+
+Click the Slide Duration pop-up menu and choose the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen. (You cannot set a custom duration time, and the duration you select applies to all slides in the slideshow.) Be sure to allow enough time for the transition you selected.+
+To let the viewer advance through the slideshow manually using a remote control, choose Manual. If you want to add a soundtrack to your slideshow, you don’t need to set the slide duration.+
+The slide duration you set does not apply to movies you add to the sideshow. Movies in a slideshow play in their entirety before the next slide appears.+
+Click the Return button to exit the slideshow editor.+
+The duration of your slideshow, in minutes, appears at the top center of the slideshow editor. As you add and remove images, transitions, and so on, you can keep track of how long the slideshow is.+
+When you add RAW images from iPhoto, the RAW files appear in the slideshow as JPEG images. If you choose to save the photos to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc, so that viewers can download them to their own computer, iDVD saves the RAW files, not JPEG images, there.+
+To learn how to add a soundtrack to your slideshow, see Related Topics below.+
+NOTE: A slideshow that you create in iDVD does not show up in the Media pane and is therefore not accessible for use in other iDVD projects.+
Did you create a disk image with your iDVD project? That can often help pinpoint burning issues.
From iDVD Help:
+You can test your project before you burn it by saving it as a disc image. The disc image of your project is a fully encoded version of the project that you can play in DVD Player (which comes on your Mac) or burn to a disc later. You can preview the disc image to make sure your project plays correctly and then make changes, if necessary, before burning a disc.+
+To create a disc image of your project:+
+Choose File > “Save as Disc Image.”+
+Type a name for the disc image.+
+Choose where you want to store the disc image.+
+Click Save.+
+Double-click the disc image icon when the disc image is ready.+
+Launch DVD Player, in your Applications folder.+
+Your DVD project begins playing on your computer. Use the controller to navigate to and view all the content on your DVD. If everything works, the DVD you burn will work in most newer consumer DVD players and computers with a DVD drive.+

DVD-R discs will not play on DVD Player

The DVD-R discs I made will not play on DVD Player Version 4.0.
I transferred VHS to DVD-R using an RCA VHS/DVD Recorder. The discs played well in 3 different DVD players but will not play on my i-book.
Please help?
New At This
i-book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In a nutshell the problem is the fact that the Software used by the RCA recorder is for PC.
When recording DVD's the software that is available varys greatly.
Some of the top of the line software gives options to burn PC only, MAC only, and PC or MAC combined.
It was also brought to your attention to use VLC Player on your Mac the firmware that is used with this player will sometimes allow for playing DVD's that were burned on these VHS to DVD Burners.
Here are a few tips that affect reading and writing DVD. This link is only a small amount of what can and does affect, I suggest you do a Google search to learn all you can.

HT1382 Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

Persius,
Nearly every DVD that will play on a set-top player *should* play on a computer, provided two things:
1.) the computer has a DVD player that can handle that flavor of DVD media, DVD RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD DL, etc.
2.) the computer has a software player installed. This feature has been removed from some common media players. You may need to locate, download and install a separate software player.
There could be another discussion on interlaced vs progressive scan media, but I'll let you ask that question.

How do I burn photos from macbook air to dvd to play on dvd player

how do I burn my photos to a dvd to be played on dvd player?

You also need to determine what kind of DVDs your player supports. My player will play discs with image files on it. Some players will even play files in mp4 format. If yours will only strictly play DVDs in DVD format then you have to author them with a tool such as iDVD (no longer sold).
If you are playing these at home you might see if you can ouptu video straight to the video device from your MBA.

You would need to have burned the disc using iDVD or a third-party application such as Toast. Is that what you did?

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

FC/e is based upon the Quicktime-engine; so, on 'Export using QT', you'll get all codecs & settings.
but which one..
due to sheer popularity, YouTube became a 'standard' - I'm happy with the convenience, YT and the 'embed'-code offers - excellent quality, automatic adjusted to the watchers connection&hardware.
my export settings are 720p, h264, 6MBit/sec - gives a - imho! - superb quality.
(example of a 'screen-test' from my latest project CLICK )
for creating so-called 'flash video'/.flv, you need 3rd party apps.
Sorenson Squeeze is more of an pro-tool, .. you need some background knowledge to get noticeable 'better' quality.
.. and the question is: are you willing to pay $.$$$ for that 0.x% more quality .. ? does your source offers such a 101% quality, which needs such affords?
if bandwidth is an issue, because you're hosting on your own servers, consider the free codec xh264, you can install as a free QT-plug-in.. with low or super-low bitrates, it offers a superior quality compared to h264 ...

How do I burn dvd that will play in dvd player

How do I burn a DVD that will play in DVD player for my TV? Example, iPhoto images, Utube images, etc.

If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

In iMovie, audio doesn't play on movie preview

Hello,
I got iMovie 10.0.6 yesterday. It worked fine for a few minutes, but afterwards, I couldn't hear the audio in my movie. However, if I went into the event the movie it was in, I could hear the audio on preview. I tried exporting, and the audio was working perfectly there too, but not in the movie preview itself.

What version of OS and Keynote?
Audio doesn't play on a single slide when exported into Qtime
Are you trying to play audio over the complete presentation on one slide or a range of slides?

No audio on disc image or on DVDs played in DVD player

Help, I'm stuck.
I have made several movies in iDVD and burned them successfully. They always played with no problem. Now I am trying to play them in the DVD player and there is no audio. There is also no audio when I make a disc image. And there is also no audio when I try to copy on of my movies back onto the disc utility. I am also not getting audio from commercial DVDs in the DVD player. All of these DVDs still work fine in my regular DVD player hooked to the tv.
I have version 6.0.4
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Most common origin is .mp3 .avi or other strange audio format - or -
imported audio from iTunes.
Medicine: Copy out as audio .aiff then use this in the movie then to iDVD.
If the DiskImage doesn't play OK - don't waste to burn DVD discs from it.
*OTHER THINGS*
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named: com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort:
from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!! I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive, emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option and I am up and running.
Yours Bengt W

HT4072 Can I play audio from movies in the DVD player using iTunes or Airplay?

I would like to play audio from movies in the MacBook DVD player using iTunes or Airplay? Is this possible?

Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Audio ok when playing on computer, but not there when playing on DVD player

I've made two DVDs on my MacBook: one where I dragged a variety of short films into iDVD (imported via iMovie but NOT edited on iMovie!) and burned it - this one plays fine on everyone's computers and DVD players. The second DVD I created with material edited in iMovie and then burned via Share -> iDVD and while that plays fine on my computer, the audio is "missing" when I play it on a regular DVD player.
I burned the DVDs the exact same way, used the exact same DVD stock, and played on the exact same DVD player, so what's going on? I don't think it's an iDVD problem, I think there's something (not) happening in iMovie...
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What format is the original?
