Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
c. To get iDVD to run OK
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
• I use Verbatim DVDs
• DVD-R
• Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
(Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
• iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
Good luck Yours Bengt W

Audio drops out after burning to a disk.

I just finished my Final Cut Express project and used iDVD to burn it to a disk. Half way through the slide show, the audio drops out.
Is there a way to fix this?

Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.
Is this problem now showing up in the iDVD preview mode? Or is it with subsequent burned DVD's?
Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. The disk image will show you how your project will appear when played on a standard DVD player. See if this problem is repeated. If everything is fine, go ahead and burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Audio Drops Out After 30 Seconds

I have just installed Premiere Elements 12 on a new Toshiba with Intel i5 and windows 8. When I play a viedo through Elements the audio drops out after 30 seconds. When I play the same viedo through Windows audio does not drop out. I have an older HP with Intel i3 and Windows 7 running Premiere Elements 10 and I do not have any issues with the audio dropping out. This is the first time I have used this forum so I hopr I'm doing this properly. Thank you, Bob.

With a slower machine like that, it's possible you haven't given the program time to fully conform the audio and video in your file.
Clear the file from your Project Assets and re-add it to your project. Watch the progress along the bottom of the program and wait until it has completed its conforming before you start editing.

Audio drops out of burned movie

Hey all.. I've burned a DVD twice now, and the audio is dropping out silent at the same point 3 minutes before the end of a 90 minute movie... the QT movie (H264) is fine, but when encoded in iDVD, i get the audio dropping out completely.
Anyone see this before?

I've seen audio drop/s before on an iDVD that exceeds 99 images.....yes.
(but not normally at the very tail end of the DVD). I've also seen audio drop and/or out of sync audio when not using the recommended 16 bit audio. Sometimes people forget that iMovie & iDVD works best with 16 bit and NOT so well with 12 bit audio.
Let me know if any of these are useful:

Video playback slow and audio drop out after render

Hi
I have downloaded a trial version of After Effects from the cc,
Problem is everytime I render ou,t the video playback is slow and the audio drops out
This happens with AVI or Quicktime files.
Using a Intel i5 quad core, 8 gig of ram 250 gig ssd.laptop
Render/export in Premire pro is fine.
Can any one help.
Regards Phil Green

It sounds like you might be hitting the space bar in hopes of getting real time playback. Sorry, but AE doesn't work like that, because it does totally different things from an editing application like Premiere.
And if you've downloaded the tryout version, you really ought to learn how AE works... and a short description is "it doesn't work intuitively". You can frustrate yourself in a hurry.
But this can really help;

T410 audio drops out after 10 seconds

I have an issue whereby audio drops out on the internal speakers after 10-20 seconds. Adjusting volume or mute/unmute fixes things for another 5 seconds before audio drops out again. Headphones work fine from VGA port! Things I've tried without luck:
1. updating the sound driver
2. updating BIOS
3. reseating battery
4. disabled all enhancements in the speaker properties
5. disabled exclusive mode's "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
6. there are no "disabled" or "disconnected" devices in sound properties

A cold beer for whoever suggests the correct fix for this!

Does it happen in Safe Mode?
EDIT: Forgot Safe Mode has no audio. Try launching MSCONFIG and disabling stuff in the Startup tab, then rebooting. Or try a bootable Ubuntu LiveCD.

Audio drops out when burning DVD

Hello -
I have imported itunes to play behind the video clips - it plays well on screen and through Quicktime Player, but after burning to DVD either through toast or iDVD the camera audio is there but not the itunes. Any suggestions??

Hi CC:
Welcome to discussions!
Were the songs purchased from iTunes Store? If so, they are most likely protected and you will need to burn them to an Audio CD and import from that.

Audio dropped out when burned on DVD - PRE.

I have finished my movie on PRE 8 and burned it on a DVD in high quality. The problem is the background music works, but the audio from the videos is dropped out. When I play it on PRE 8, the audio works perfectly. The video and audio comes from a JVC Everio HDD. Everything works fine until I burn it.
I did not use Instant Movie or Audio Mixer because I did it manually.
Is there anything I need to do before I burn the DVD, or do I need special settings?
Another problem I have is that Organizer turns off and does not work.

Patrick,
You gave me an idea for two tests. They are simple and fairly quick and will not require any real editing in PrE, or another NLE.
Test 1:
From Export/Share, Export your movie. I think you are doing SD/DVD work, so choose DV-AVI. Export just the Video (checkbox for Video and Audio, and you want Video only). This will give you a silent Video-only file. Now, Export>Audio (choose PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit) to get an Audio-only file. Test this Audio-only file. Did you get both the AV's Audio and your Soundtrack? You should. Then, create a new Project to the right specs., and Import those two files. Note, your exact placement of the Audio-only file might not be on Audio Track 1, and just let it go to Audio Track 2. I'd not use Narration, or Soundtrack. Test. Burn to a DVD RW disc, so you do not create a coaster, and test again.
Test 2:
Do a Save_As, name and locate it. Delete your music from the Soundtrack. Export/Share the movie with both Audio & Video. Test. If things are working now, without the Soundtrack, I'd bring in your music, but try placing it on Audio Track 2. Test. Note: an alternative to this would be to do two Save_As Projects. In one, remove the AV's Audio completely, and then Share/Export just your Soundtrack as an Audio-only file. Choose the same PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit. Then Import that into the first Save_As, the one with no music. Again, try placing this file on Audio Track 2. Test.
I worry that maybe one, or both of the fixed Audio Tracks, Narration, and/or Soundtrack, is getting in the way. The above tests will be quick and should get you the results that you need, with what you have. The tests will also tell us if something is wrong with the Soundtrack Track, as it seems to be killing the AV's Audio on Audio Track 1.
Good luck, and please report,
Hunt

Help! Audio drops out after export

Hello
Whenever I export anything full quality from Final Cut, parts of the audio are lost. Could anyone help?
Thanks,
Max.

I had that problem frequently, mainly in FCE, and was told to try various renders and mixdowns on the audio until it finally works (haven't quite figured out why one works one time and not another).
I learned to look at the color bars (maybe not the right description) on the top of the tracks to make certain that my audio was mixed down completely, and now I don't get dropouts.
One more thing: when I played back without mixing down audio, I got a dropped frame message. This usually resulted in annoying pops in my soundtrack that I couldn't eradicate. I'm a lot more careful about rendering and mixdown, now.

Audio drops out Premiere cs6 + Red

Having an exceptionally annoying issue - the audio drops out after approx 2 seconds, the clip itself fine, pausing and continuing makes the audio play for an additional two seconds before dropping out. I'm using Premiere cs6 with scarlet footage and sync sound (both the original 41khz wavs and my own 48khz aif's exhibit same issue. Intel q9550 2.8ghz (quad), 8gb ram, gtx670, g-raid over esata.

Does the issue occur only with this media? Only in this project? Or is it more widespread?

Audio drops out while video continues to play just after making a cut!

I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for a few months now and I use it to edit my YouTube gameplay videos. Here is everything I am doing in Adobe Pr:
1. Create new project
2. import my raw gameplay video (m2ts file)
3. import my wave sound file (my commentary)
4. Put them on the time line and play the video (it works then)
5. make a cut somewhere and the GAMEPLAY audio drops out not the video or my commentary.
The same thing happens in Adobe Premiere Elements as well. Should I convert my m2ts files to MP4 or AVI or something??? Please help

Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.

Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player.

IDVD '08 Slideshow Audio Drop Out

Hi
I've recently upgraded to IDVD '08 & produced a slideshow of 301 pictures with music. I get a moments audio drop out at each 100th picture. I know this to be a problem when the disc is played on a DVD player, but not on a computer. I had hoped that by upgrading to IDVD '08 the problem would have been eliminated. Can anyone advise if there is a way of solving this issue, other than producing separate slideshows of 99 picture & less.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The behavior you described above is actually normal for iDvd for anything over 99 images per slideshow. Not much you can do about it short of creating multiple slideshows as you mentioned above. That or making your slideshow as one long QT movie but you may notice a quality loss.
Or you can try a few other apps like:
http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/overview/
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
Roxio Toast has a slideshow option as well. You might want to look into this.
DVDSP might give you slightly better results but then again it's much more money and takes weeks/months to learn as opposed to a few hours / days.

UPDATE: Audio dropping out in places after publishing MP4 in Captivate 7

UPDATED: Bumping this up thread, in the hopes someone will see it and reply. No one has any suggestions? I'm really struggling with this and getting super frustrated. Anyone from Adobe reading this? Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
I've had this issue on other tutorials I've done, but today I'm at my wits end.
I have a short presentation (3 slides - about 2 1/2 minutes total). The slides were imported from PowerPoint. The audio was recorded directly in Captivate. I've made sure to leave a bit of silence at the beginning and end of each slide.
The audio in preview is perfect. When I publish as a SWF or HTML 5 files, the audios is perfect. Unfortunately for me, I need the output to be MP4. When I publish it as an MP4, on the second and third slides, the audio drops out in several places - the first slide is fine. it does not occur at the beginning or end of slide, it's sporadically within the audio.
For instance, it will be something like this "First look at the feed display (in the middle of the) page. It's divided into (three) sections. In the (federation feed section) you'll find the (activity), and updates across the interoffice (user base), in the My Feed section you will find a filtered set of (discussions based) on your interests."
The words in parentheses would drop from the audio. I've force republished 10-12 times today. Each time, the audio chooses to drop out different words - occasionally the same.
There seems no rhyme or reason to what's occurring. Help! I'm on a really tight deadline.
Can you recommend any fixes or settings that may help this? It feels like a crap shoot - I just keep trying different things and hoping that eventually I'll get something usable.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.
PS I've also copied the slides into a brand new project and had the same result when publishing.

Have either of you tried deleting the preference files and then running a disk repair?
Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:

Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

Hi Folks,
Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,
jesterhead

Audio drops out for about 2 seconds after about 2 hours

Hey folks....I've been renting HD movies, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Three times now, at some point just after about two hours the audio drops out for about two seconds. It's not exactly the same time - on one movie it was at 2:02:26 and another it was at 2:04:18. It's only two seconds, so it's really of no consequence. Just now it was during the closing credits (the music). Before, it was that scene in Batman where the two ferries are stalled on the river.
Of course, I would rewind to make sure. I use the optical out.
Anyone else notice this?

Do a hard reset. Hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
