Audio jumps in idvd slideshow

On my G4 pwrbk, I created an iDVD project with a movie from iMovie and added some photos from iPhoto to My Slideshow in iDvd. Its about 30 jpegs and I scored it to one audio track lasting about 3 minutes. I put transitions between the photos, and in preview, before I burn the disc, the slideshow is sharp. Seamless. Glorious.
After the disc is burned, I view it on a Dvd player and now there are audio glitches in the slideshow only, when the pictures change(the music pauses inbetween the picture transitions). Now all of a sudden, the slideshow is stunted and lurching! Never had this problem before, the movie itself plays without flaw.
Of course I imagined it a fluke and reburned it again. Repeat failure. Next I changed the audio track. After that I changed the transitions between photos. Now more desperate, I scratched the whole iDVD project and started over from iMOVIE and iPHOTO. After creating a whole new iDVD project it still does it. I am out of ideas and have 5 less blank DVDs.
Helplease.

as far as the 12/16 bit is concerned, i believe it is 12 bit
That could be your problem.
First reset the camera so all future filming is with 16 bit.
Look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61636
There is another workaround by taking the clips and doing extract audio from the advanced menu in iMovie.

  • Any solution to audio jumps in iDVD 6?

    Tried everything to get rid of "jumps" during transitions in slide show. Tried new tracks and changed transition but it's still there. There is no visual noise observable when I remove all audio tracks. Any other ideas?

    I have the same problem with this miserable program. I have tried to burn various slideshows but the audio paused at 10:57 on each attempt. I tried to get around that by cutting down the number of photos and music to get it under 10 minutes. I found out it skips at the same distance from the end of the show each time regardless of length.
    I tried "Save Image to Disk" then burned a DVD from disk utilities. Same result. I tried making a slide show in iPhoto, bringing it into iDVD with the same result.
    I REALLY need to get this show together soon. I have a presentation to make for several hundred people in a week and I'm no closer now than I was when I first started this project three days ago. It's incredibly irritating. My next attempt will include a slideshow DVD with no music. I'll play that back on a player at home, hooked up through a DVD recorder connected to my TV. I'll also need to burn a CD with the tunes I want to add and try my best to combine them on that DVD recorder at home.
    Is there any way I can get iDVD 5 again?

  • How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow  of my idvd project?

    I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

    iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
    If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

  • Audio Sync Problem in iDVD slideshow

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto, Version 7.1.5 and transfered it to iDVD. The slideshow contains photos and videos taken with my camera. The videos open in QuickTime, Version 7.6.2, and play with audio. The slideshow plays in iDVD without any problems. I burned a DVD and played it on our TV. The slideshow plays as it did in iDVD with one exception---the audio with the videos plays either prior or after the videos appear in the slideshow. The audio appears to be as recorded by the camera, only the sync with the video clip is off. The slideshow contains 417 slides and 12 video clips.
    I created a second "trial" slideshow with a few photos and video clips. This DVD slideshow played as expected in iDVD and on our TV. So I'm suspecting the number of slides is at the source of the problem. When I finalize the slideshow it would contain about 1/2 the number of slides with about the same number of video clips.
    Any suggestions on achieving audio sync with the video clips would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Royal
    To answer your question directly, the DVD standard is 99 chapters. iDVD works around this limitation by resetting chapter 100 and starting over at 1 again.
    You can always create your slideshow in iPhoto, iMovie or a 3rd party slideshow app like PhotoPresenter, Fotomagico, etc. or save it as a QT movie file and add the movie file to an iDVD slideshow.
    Here's a good link that OT has set up as a good example while using PhotoPresenter:
    http://web.me.com/toad.hall/Demo3/PhotoPresenterThemes.html
    Like I mentioned above, there are a number of third party apps that work just as well if you search this forum for additional examples.
    Hope this helps but if not jusrt come on back.

  • Audio dropouts in iDVD 7.04 at every 99th frame when creatin IDVD slideshow

    Dear Friends,
    About two months ago, I completed my first iDVD slideshow project, consisting of 911 photos and a soundtrack. It seemed perfect when using iDVD Preview, but when I burned it to a DVD or saved it as a disk image, I discovered a series of audio dropouts, some minor, some moderate and some rather extreme. I also discovered that the dropouts occurred an EXACT mathematical interval, that is first at #99, next at #198, next at #297, and finally down to #892.
    I contacted iDVD Support and they repeatedly argued that a dropout could happen at regular interval, and that they were always random. The suggestion given to me was to “always empty the iDVD cache before burning, which I did repeatedly and the issue persisted.
    I called back in and instead of going back to iDVD Support, using my specific case number, I went sent to an Apple Support Generalist, who knew nothing of the issue, and so it happened again, and again, and again…
    Has anyone in the real world beyond Cupertino ever experienced such an issue? If so, have you developed an effective resolution? My only resolution has been not to even have a audio soundtrack.
    Thanks, Apple Support for not being there when I really need you!

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 8 from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • IDVD slideshow audio sync off on burned DVD

    Others have listed this problem, but no apparent solution. If this is a bug, has it been fixed in iLife'09?
    Specifically, a slide show with a mix of photos and video clips late in the slideshow, all imported from iPhoto, advances the audio associated with the video clips several minutes relative to the video. The problem only shows up when the disc is burned, it is fine in preview mode,

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have the slideshow setting set to mute the added audio when you play the video clips?
    You might consider assembling the slideshow iniMovie HD 6 where you can precisely align the music where you want. Save and close iMovie and drag the project file into an iDVD slideshow (so you can scale the movie to the TV safe area).

  • Slight audio stutter in IDVD 6 when played on TV

    I am new to IDVD, but the program seems pretty good. The only issue I am having is slight audio stutter throughout the slideshow on the burned DVD when played on a TV. I tried multiple TVs and they all had the same hiccup occur and at the same spot. The slideshow plays great in IDVD without any hiccups or hesitation. Also, the audio file is being imported from itunes and I have listened to it several times to rule out a bad song file. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Aparently, I am just going to create my own thread documenting my frustration on this journey
    You learn more that way.
    According to their documentation, this is actually a DVD player issue and not an encoding issue. Ok??? Then, how come other programs are able to seemlessly play over 99 slides without the hiccup?
    Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302962 explains things.
    DVD slideshows with more than 99 images are a recent 'hack' created by Apple. Images in such a slideshow are treated as Chapters and DVDs are limited to 99 Chapters per Track. When you use more than 99 images, your DVD player must jump to a new track for the 100th image. Some players can do this with no problem, others have a hiccup in the audio, and still others reset eveything.
    The ONLY sure way of creating a slideshow with audio and more than 99 slides is to create one as a movie in iPhoto or iMove.
    Sorry, but that's the way things work.

  • Can't See Audio Files in iDvd for Slide Shows Once Applied

    When you select music from iTunes for the iDvd Slideshow (I created it in iDVD, not in iPhoto), there is no place to see what songs you have in the playlist. Unlike the photos in the slideshow that can be removed and moved around.
    There should be a similar window for the Audio so that you can add or delete selections.
    It may be that it is easier to do this in iPhoto rather than in iDVD. I'll try that next.
    Thanks to anyone who knows if I've missed the place to see the songs to be played for the iDvd slideshow.
    Thanks.

  • AUDIO JUMP AS PICTURE CHANGES

    I have burned several dvd's using iDVD 5 and they all run fine on my dvd player and TV.
    However I have done a couple for others and while they run perfectly well on my set up on three other dvd players and TV's the audio jumps every time the picture changes.
    Has anyone any idea if there is something I can do to sort this problem.

  • Audio lost on idvd project when burned

    I am making an idvd slideshow with pictures from i photo as well as mpeg4 quicktime files i have no volume on the mpeg 4 files becuase i chose it that way since it is a recorded video of a soundless movie reel. I took several songs and imported them to garage band so i could match the songs to certain areas in my slideshow slideshow.i cut some short and spliced them together then i shared the song to itunes. then from itunes i put the song which was really a group of spliced songs into my it took about a week of work but i finaly got it working i preview the slideshow and it works fine. when i burn it all the sound is great in the beginning but towards the end there is no sound at all i don't know what to do please respond this video needs to be finished soon!!!

    I recommend that you reduce the number of slides to 99. Since each slide is treated as a separate chapter, your DVD player will drop the audio on the 100th slide.

  • Get songs onto iDVD slideshow

    How do I get my songs onto my slideshow in iDVD?  There is no "audio well" nor can I add them to the pictures.  I can only add songs to the main page, but not the slides themselves.  Please help.

    Hi
    I think that that is more  than iDVD SlideShow function can do. That's one of the things that make me use another tool.
    I prefere iMovie HD6 (or FinalCut) as
    • there are no 99 photo per Show limit (as in iDVD SS)
    • I have 100% control over audio and transitions etc.
    • They export all lines over to iDVD (iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - only send over every second one = Less resolution)
    or I use FotoMagico™ (included in Roxio Toast™ bundle)

  • Can you add more then one song to idvd slideshow?

    i have a lot of images on a idvd slideshow and i need more then one song.. ive heard this same one for about 3 times! does anyone know if you can add more then one song to a slideshow??
    thanks in advance...

    Create a Playlist in iTunes. Select that Playlist in the Audio section behind the Media button in iDVD '08.

  • IDVD slideshow won't pause on playback on DVD player. Why?

    Why can't I pause an iDVD slideshow on playback?
    I make iDVD slideshows and after burning the disk, it will not pause when I push the pause button during playback on a DVD player.

    I have a brand new iMac
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx"
    Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD.   I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others.  None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

  • Pulling images out of an iDVD slideshow

    Stemming from another question I posted on the Powerbook G4 board, I have a question regarding an iDVD slideshow.
    My Powerbook's hard drive, I have a sinking feeling, is dead. My iDisk was full and I was getting ready to buy more storage space when the crash happened. I'd just created and burned a slideshow of pictures from a trip to Austria ... is there a way to grab the individual images out of the iDVD slideshow and get them back as individual photos once my computer is repaired.
    FYI, I'm looking into data recovery companies, but I'm not holding out much hope.
    Please ... your insights are greatly appreciated.

    iDVD has an option to add the original pictures to the DVD in the "DVD ROM" area. You can determine if it's there by inserting the DVD in a computer and quitting out of the Player application. Double-click the disc icon and look in the folders -- hopefully you'll find more than two folders and the third one will be labeled something like "DVD-ROM."
    As SD says, your other options aren't so great. The slideshow on DVD is a compressed video file (mpeg-2 format) so you'd be uncompressing the video and then extracting a frame. You might check Graphic Converter and Photoshop to see if they can extract a frame without the conversion process.
    I don't know if a screen capture would be better... thinking if you had a very large screen, then you'd wind up with a larger-sized screen capture (more pixels).
    I assume the pictures were digital and you erased the memory card? There should be software to recover files from the memory card.

  • 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)
