Audio missing on burned DVD

Follow me on this one: Made an iMovie and shared it with iDVD. Did all the menu items, etc. and burned the DVD. After watching the DVD, I wanted to make some edits. I went into iMovie and did the edits.
I did not create a new iDVD with the edited iMovie because I happened to discover that when I made the edits in iMovie, they actually translated to the original iDVD. So I saved the project in both iMovie and iDVD and burned the new DVD.
PROBLEM: Everything came out perfect except, the audio. I have audio on the menu (which I put there) but there is no audio throughout the rest of the DVD.
I checked my iMovie and audio is there. I reviewed the iDVD project on my computer and the audio is there. I checked the audio levels on iMovie and they're at 100%. I made sure that the "check boxes" on the 3 lines of audio were checked and operable. I checked the "map" on iDVD and there is no indication of any audio issues. Yet, when I play the newly burned DVD, there is no audio other than the menu music.
Help!!!

Before you burn an updated project, it is a good idea to "Delete Encoded Assets" from the Advanced menu. That will start you afresh with new encoding for the updated project.
If you have incorrectly placed chapter markers in your movie, sometimes that can cause audio problems on a DVD. Make sure that you remove or reset any chapter marker within 1 second of the beginning or end of your movie, or in a transition. This would include the "beginning" marker that is automatically set.
You also could try dragging your iMovie project into a new iDVD project, and burning from there.
Instead of burning directly from iDVD, save the iDVD project as a disk image (an option from the File menu), wait until the assets have encoded (it takes a while), and then play the disk image by double clicking on it, and then clicking on your DVD player app icon on your Mac. If it plays fine, then your encoding is O.K. The next step would be to try burning a DVD from the Disk Image by using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Open the Disk Utility window and you should see your Disk Image icon displayed in the left hand pane. If it's not there, drag it into that pane. Select it and click on the burn symbol at the top of the window. Insert a DVD-R disk and then click on the "burn" button.

  • Audio missing on burned  DVD's

    Hi, After completing a project I try to burn a DVD on PE3. It burns the picture fine nut no audio. I try to burn the same to hard drive and again, good picture but no sound. Yet I am able to transfer it to tape no problem!
    What could be the cause? My DVD playback software reports no audio stream on the VOB files, so it looks like its not encoding audio. (I've checked all the settings.)
    Thanks

    The reason that I questioned you on the Vaio involvement was
    1. I thought that I remembered a similar PE3/Vaio problem at another web site which ended with Adobe saying that there was no fix for it for PE3 and 4.
    2. And, there is the following Steve Grisetti FAQ on this kind of a topic:

    Since Steve Grisetti is visiting this topic, for now I will step aside, just temporarily, for his further comments. I want to make sure that I am not mixing "apples and oranges" in my thoughts as applied to your specific situation. As author of the FAQ, he will tell us if I have.
    Many times, users have the same outwardly manifested problem, but have different causes for the problem.

  • Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD.  I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems.  It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers.  I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Audio problem after burned DVD on set top player only?

    My burned DVD's play great on any computer PC or MAC but on client's (and mine) set top DVD player the first 3 seconds of the 30-min program don't play any audio???
    Client's set top DVD player is brand new and has HDMI out puts, my player is old, 3 years maybe but both players do the exact same thing...the DVD's we're trying to play on the DVD players are all built and burnt from Mac using DVD SP. So the menus all work, even the audio perfectly, but when you choose the program it won't play the audio for 3 sec, then it kicks in, though the video plays perfectly from beginning. I've got 1 sec of Black at the head of program, then it fades up to first shot. I've got that same black slug on both audio tracks for 1 sec as well...tried with and without the black in the audio tracks, no change. Now on a 4 year old Panasonic EM-50 something DVD recorder/player the DVD's did work.
    Thoughts?

    Hi tomwros
    Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear you are having problems navigating a burned disc. In most cases on apple discussions it's the result of the media and not of the hardware / software.
    Please tell us which brands you have tried. Include speed of the media itself and if it's plus or minus media. Also when you used Roxio Toast, what speed did you burn at within Toast?

  • Audio missing in burn of home movie using one stop

    New app for me...but my daughter filmed my Mom's 90th BD and asked if I could make the DVDs.
    I decided to use one-step in iDVD and her JVC cam. All went well video wise...but no sound came through, even tho every sound was playing.
    This is my first stab to so I either goofed or haven't upgraded?? I still need to burn two more hours...it was an awesome party;-)
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi Teresa M.
    Welcome to apple discussions. Let's see if we can get this resolved for you. Question/s: Did you connect the JVC Camcorder via FW to your mac? Was the the camcorder also set to 16 bit audio? One Step Dvd works great with firewire (or i.Link) connections. Which port /connection was used to connect to your mac? (to the best of my knowledge, can't use one step with USB 2 nor with 12 bit audio).
    Also you want to make sure your JVC camcorder is listed here under apple's iMovie / supported camcorders. Is it?

  • IDVD 6 - No audio track on burned DVD?

    Ive run into a problem with iDVD 6.0...The project I’m working on was created in iMovie, and then ported to iDVD for final editing and burning. While running the project in the preview mode of iDVD, everything is fine – menus, content, etc. Encoding/burning was uneventful, taking forever on my old G4, but completing successfully. The problem is that when I play the created DVD, there is no audio content to the chapters. However chapter selection screen does have the audio track I added, and does play.
    Not sure where I went wrong, as everything is OK in preview mode from within iDVD. The lack of audio on playback occurs in any DVD player, so it leads me to believe something’s missing from the burned disk.
    Any thgouts/insite would be greatly appreciated

    Are you using iTunes purchased music? If so, it is a known problem. See last post on this thread for a workaround.

    Other things to try
    Use a good brand DVD-R like Verbatim or Maxcell
    Save project as a disk image
    Burn disk image to DVD by using Disk Utility
    Burn at 2x speed
    Hope this helps

  • Audio missing on burnt DVD

    I keep burning the DVD but it always is missing audio in the same place!!! what can i do to fix this!?!?

    Hi I
    Most common origins to this is:
    a - audio used are - downloads from iTunes
    b - mp3 audio
    c - to little free space on internal hard disk (can give many strange errors)
    d - bad/cheap media
    e - to fast burning speed (can't be changed in iDVD - work around)
    a. Save out the needed audio from iTunes as an audio CD .aiff - use this in
    Your movie project
    b. convert to .aiff and use this
    c. after Your iDVD project is composed. There should be more than 25Gb free
    on the internal hard disk
    d. There are medias with better (more) dye and those with less: I use
    Verbatim DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) disks
    e. I save as "Disk Image" down in File menu. And burn this with Roxio Toast™
    but You can also use Apple Disk Util tool
    AND set the burn speed as slow as possibly eg x1, x2 or x4 => Less errors

  • Audio distortion on burned DVD

    Hi everyone,
    I am having problems with a completed DVD. The movie was created in iMovie - no problem looks and sounds fine. I have transfered it to iDVD (best quality not best performance) - again, looks and sounds fine in preview. However, after the burn process the DVD plays but the audio is distorted. One thing I have tried is to find a setting to alter the burn speed but can't find any. Have any of you had the same problem? Any solutions?
    I have seen old posts relating to pre-burn sound problems but no post-burn.
    Thanks,
    SP

    The problem seems to be incompatability between drives and media. The DVD plays fine on my Powerbook, also on some standalone DVD players but not mine. On several other players friends have tried it distorts too. I guess its to do with laser tolerances etc. Oh well at least its not a problem with my Powerbook.

  • Audio distortion in Burned DVD's

    I posted this in iDVD, but think it may be an iMovie issue since I didn't have the problem using the iLife 6 apps.
    Anyway, just looking for some answers/thoughts.
    So I get some distortion, what sounds like maxed volume through crappy speakers when I now that I use iMovie 08, iDVD 08 and Garageband (forced to use because I want custom chapter markers) & I have had the same audio distortion with several projects using various downloaded (amazon) mp3's or LAME rips 224 kbps or higher. I checked the dvd on my PS3 to Pioneer plasma...sounds distorted. Other computers and "simple DVD" players the song is high but can't tell the distortion.
    So here's what I'm trying to answer
    Is it my PS3-Pioneer TV?
    How does the normalization in iMovie work? Does garageband undo it?
    Here's why I ask...I set the volume levels for 75% on all music tracks then normalized and exported, loaded in Gband, added chapters and re-exported using share to disk. I saw something speed by that looked liked it said normalizing, and was wondering what that does to the track that is supposedly already normalized.
    I plan on running a few tests so that I don't have deal with this again.
    I have re-done the audio without normalization, but volume at 75%. I'll import this direct to idvd...test
    same thing only run through gband then idvd..test
    Any help/info is appreciated...
    PS..I usually burn on TDK DVD-R's
    shaun

    Volume will control the sound from the main Video track. I usually set it at either 100% or 0%, but no reason you cant use other settings.
    The Ducking feature controls the volume of the music tracks, extracted tracks, and voiceovers as a percentage of the volume of the main track.
    So 100% in Ducking means main track and music track have same volume.
    15% ducking means music track is 15% of volume of main track. 0% ducking means that music track is silent.

  • Audio problem when burning DVD

    When I try to burn this with IDVD 5.0.1 everything went well till IDVD has come to the audio part, hereby it goes wrong. I didn't get a failure message but nothing happened further on.
    Hope someone has a solution!

    Hello, prutgers,
    You will need to be a bit more specific with your problem so we can help you.
    What do you mean by 'it goes wrong'? What exactly happens?
    You need to know that when your DVD is encoding audio, the process appears to be doing nothing. If you leave it alone for a while, it just may finish. Maybe you are not waiting long enough.
    Especially if you don't get an error message. What are you doing? Did you force quit? Did the DVD burn and has an audio problem?
    Give us more information!

  • Only one audio channel in burned DVD

    I've completed a slideshow project in iMovie, moved it over to iDVD and burned it. However, when I play the finished DVD in a standard DVD player, only the RIGHT channel of the background music plays. What am I missing? Thank you...

    Yes, it’s centered already. Very strange. Don’t know what I did when I brought two-channel mono from one sequence to another that caused it to become a single mono instead of dual mono. If the quality does not suffer then I guess it makes no practical difference as long as the sound is coming equally from both speakers.
    Thank you both for helping me out.

  • Audio lost when burning DVD in preview the sound is there

    I have a sound problem with iDVD.
    One of the files (MOV) contains photos and sounds. When I preview the DVD in iDVD the sound is good. But when I burn the DVD the sound is gone. I removed the coded files, but the result was the same. The other movie on the DVD is OK.
    I have created more dvd's in the same way and it all worked fine.
    Any suggesties?

  • A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

    I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
    I appreciate any advises.
    Thanks

    for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:

    if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

  • Unknown Error While Burning DVD

    I've had hit and miss issues burning DVDs from the timeline in PP CS2 in the past, usually resolved. This time, a consistant unknown error has come up at the same point in the burn process regardless of the project, duration or file type.
    Since I will eventually install CS5 after my current project is complete, it isn't critical that I find a solution. I only use this feature to make test DVDs, but I am curios as to why this may be happening at the same point no matter what footage or project file I use. One thing I know, it isn't about basic system capabilities since I was able to burn projects, come back later (days or weeks later) without changing anything and not be able to burn the same project. This may be about cache, something taking up RAM or scratch disk size. Screen savers and all extra stuff have been turned off.

    If CS3 gives you the option, write an ISO file, or DVD folder, and use Imgburn to do the actual disc writing

  • No audio on idvd burned disc- sound plays on TV fine but not on macbook DVD player

    First time posting, so please excuse any naivete
    Hi there, I'm having the opposite problem of many of the questions I've read on here- the audio on my burned disc won't play on my computer but is fine on my TV.  I am running the latest version of idvd on a 2008 macbook. The music for the menu is a .m4a file (?) imported from itunes and the movie is an imported project from imovie.  Both play fine in idvd preview and I have burned discs of this project before with no problems.  This time  I burned one disc through idvd, discovered the missing audio, deleted the encoded assets and re- encoded before  saving the disk image and burning another dvd through disk utility. Both dvds are having this problem .  I checked sound on my system preferences, it's on- though I can't find the "main audio" that was mentioned in another thread.  Maybe I don't have enough space on my startup disk?  I've been trashing some things to free up space, but I'm not sure where to check to see how much space I have.
    I'm sending these dvds out as part of job applications so they need to be able to play right on whatever the reviewer uses (mac, pc, tv etc.)- is there a way to ensure it will work universally?
    Thanks!

    Ok.  This is embarrassing.  Just saw that the sound was turned down on my DVD player on my macbook though not on my computer.  Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best.
