Audio only playback from a menu page

Hello experts
I want to have one menu page that plays back 12 separate audio files. My assets are encoded (ac3 audio from compressor) I have 12 buttons on my page, when I go to set the asset to that button the audio file doesn't show up in the list, but it is in my asset list and I can preview it. Does an audio only file have to have some sort of visual associated with it? Or can I have a menu page with 12 track kinda like a visual CD player?
Help please!
Brian

Hi Brian - you need to have video involved somewhere on your disc. Without it you won't be able to build and format.
What you can do is create a still image for each audio track and show that as the track is playing (drop it into the video timeline and stretch it to the end of the audio). You could also just use a piece of black slug if you don't want any visual.
That way you can link your menu buttons to a track and just hear the resulting audio.

Video podcasts - no audio only playback

Hi,
I have the original iPhone and am a very active podcast user. Several of the podcasts I frequent are video format and it appears with the new 2.0 firmware the ability for audio only playback of video podcasts has been lost. It used to be that if you accessed a video podcast in iPod mode from More/Podcasts they would playback audio only. This was tremendously helpful as I often want to check email, surf Safari etc while listening to these podcasts. Now they will only playback in Video mode so if you navigate out of iPod mode to any other apps the podcast turns off. This was also helpful for saving battery life when walking around or unable to view the video.
Is everyone else using 2.0 firmware experiencing this? Does this sound like bug or lost feature?
Apple please fix/re-enable what was a great feature!
I appreciate hearing from others.
Thanks,
Steve

It seems to be doing the same on mine. I also used this feature and loved it. What's worse is that you can't turn off the screen with the sleep button, as that turns off the podcast playback too. So it seems you must be playing the video in order to hear it (wasting battery if your phone is in your pocket).
I can only guess they removed it as people got confused over why their video podcast was playing back in audio only. Make it an option that we can choose at least, rather than reduce the functionality this way.
PS. While I'm complaining, why is there still no "Shuffle by Album" option...

Audio only comes from left

I was recently trying to play my powerbook into my stereo with a direct RCA connection and I noticed that the audio was only coming out of the left speaker of the stereo. At first I thought it was the stereo but then I hooked my ipod up to the stereo and it worked fine. I hooked up to the stereo to my airport express and it produced audio through both speakers. The audio also only comes out on the left through the computer. Any ideas on what to do? Also, it is not just from iTunes the audio only comes out on the left with quicktime too.

I was just looking around - seems like there are lots of people with this problem. I was originally looking to see if anyone had a problem with their PowerBook's audio output jack - mine won't let the headphones plug all the way in. But I'd also noticed a frequent balance problem.
The consensus seems to be that if you adjust your sound during a period of high CPU-usage it'll lose proper balance. I ran Audio MIDI Setup (Applications->Utilities) and experimented with adjusting the volume. Lo and behold! When I would hit the volume keys on my keyboard, the sliders wouldn't move quite the same! Quite annoying. Seems that over time the difference gets greater.
Kevin Konikowski pointed out in this thread (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b6e310) that an application called balanced exists with the sole purpose of keeping your balance at 50%. You can find it here:

Frustrating, but much more manageable knowing what's going on!

I want to get audio only file from DVD-R. Please help.

I hope this is the right place to ask.
I have just completed copying a radio play from VHS to DVD-R.
(Recorded off air from high quality BBC FM onto VHS sound only in 1993)
The copy is a success inasmuch as I now have the high quality copy I desire and I can play it (via the DVD player) through the hi-fi with TV turned off.
However, I want to go further and load the DVD-R into my iMac and make an Audio only file of the soundtrack for use on my iPod for instance.
I have no idea if this is possible with the standard iDVD (or other software) on my iMac or how to even start.
I guess it would be equivalent to loading a standard DVD movie and making a file of just the soundtrack.
Has anyone any ideas please?
Thankyou.

If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
- insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
- start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
- use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
- you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

Audio Only Playback through Vizio M320SR TV

Hello Apple peoples,
I facing a small issue that I hope can get answered here, been looking around for an answer and have not had any luck in finding one.
I have the following
iPhone 4
Apple AV Cables
Vizio TV Model: M320SR (LCD/LED Wireless TV)
Now I know how to connect the cables so that I can play movies through my tv just fine.
My Issue is that I want to play my music through my TV but for some reason it wont just take audio only. If I'm playing music no sound will come through the tv. Although when I begin a video while still running music, In between the switch for a couple of seconds music will play then it will switch to the video.
From that what I understand is that the TV is not sending audio signal unless there is also a video signal along with it.
Does anyone know how to get around that so I can play just audio through the av cables to my TV?

Try System Preferences>Sound>Output and see what options you have there.

Creating an audio-only stream from a live stream

I am using Flash Media Live Encoder (3.2) to send multiple bitrate streams to an instance of Adobe Media Server 5. In addition to the video streams, I am trying to generate an audio-only stream.
I am using the default 'livepkgr' application. The input stream contains H.264 video + AAC audio.
The stream name that I set in FMLE is set to this:
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe- audio-stream-src=livestream1
I created a variant playlist to include the audio-only stream. It looks like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=150000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=500000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=700000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream3.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=64000,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_only.m3u8
However, when I retrieve the audio-only playlist it contains a list of .ts files. If it was working correctly I would expect there to be a list of .aac files. Here's an extract from the playlist (livestream1_audio_only.m3u8):
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1927
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-VERSION:2
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:8
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1927.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1928.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1929.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1930.ts
Any ideas why it doesn't seem to be working?
Thanks

Hi
No !
You first have to back-engineer the DVD to something the Mac can use eg StreamingDV
(I use Roxio Toast™ to do this) then convert this via QuickTime to .aiff 16-bit 44.1 kHz
then burn this onto a CD via eg iTunes.
An Analog copy from a DVD-player to the Mac Line-in and into an audiuo editor as Audacity (free on internet) then use this for the CD is easier and about as good as. (I can't differ)

No audio on playback from droid and iPad only

Hello FPCxer's
I finished mastering a 3 and 1/2 minute video and it plays back fine on my iMac, pc, kindle fire. However, the interview audio does not playback on either a droid or an iPad. Also I burned one to dvd and it played back just fine. I uploaded it to Youtube and it took 2 and 1/2 hours to uplaod. I've got U-verse 24 mg high speed internet. What gives? Any info is greatly appreciated!
Chris

I assume you're doing H.264 files? Be sure the audio is formatted as ACC, stereo, 24kHz, ABR, 48kbps.

Audio only works from my MacBook instead of TV.

When I try to stream a video, the visual works fine but the audio comes from my MacBook instead of the TV. When I went to Sound Settings, the Apple TV showed up as an option for sound output but would go back to computer every time I clicked Apple Tv.
This happens randomly. I'll use the Apple TV to stream a video from the same website and some days it'll work perfectly and other days it won't.

Hi,
I understand that you are in Airplay?   I had the same problem since my AppleTV updated today.
I restarted the airplay setting in the apple TV :   Settings / Airplay.   Deactivate Airplay.
You will loose the airplay icon in the upper right menu of your Mac.
Reactivate Airplay on the Apple TV and reconnect your Mac.
Solved the problem for me.   I hope it will help you too.   Sorry if the terms are not the right one, my AppleTV is not in English...

Prog only launches from Start Menu

I've had this happen before and just let it work that way but its
happening again with some new programs and I'd like to find out why?
I Snapshot the program as always, it installs fine but will not launch
from the Nal icon. It is a simple program and works fine from the
Program menu that the install creates. The only thing out of the
ordinary is that the paths to the executable are long
ex. C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections
v2.0 Net\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
Under Nal its set as
%TARGET_PATH%\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
and Target Path =
C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections v2.0 Net
Is there anything else that I should look at that might cause this not
to launch from the NAL icon?
Zenworks 3.2 sp3, Client 4.83 sp2 Netware 6
Thanks

Some questions / suggestions:
- Are there any command line switches used when starting this application?
If so, it may help if you place them within quotes, especially if there
are spaces in between.
- you say it's an old application. Does the shortcut to the application
contain a start directory, and if so, is this long filename or 8.3
filename? If there is a start directory in the shortcut, you should also
use this in you application object
- What exact error message do you get?
Hope this helps a bit,
Karl-Heinz

How can I make an audio only CD from a DVD

I am really kind of new at this but my church makes DVD's of the services but some of my Sunday School teachers want to have a CD of the sermon. Does iDVD have the capability to burn just the audio tracks onto a CD?
Thanks.

Audio only records from one side

I am using a firewire solo...when I try to record guitar or mic through it into logic it only records on the left side (no sound coming from right)...
Doesn't happen in Garage Band.
Thoughts?

Well, first, make sure you are aware of what channel you are using on your interface. Then go to I/O in the track pannel in logic that you wish to use. Make sure it coressponds to the appropriate channel. MONO.

Looping audio on the menu page

I have edited a piece of audio for use on the menu page of an iDVD project. It is cropped, so that when it loops, there is a natural transition from the end of the clip to the beginning, as it starts over. I imported this clip into my iDVD project, and it loops fine, but it apparently is too short for the menu screen because after it loops through, it plays for a few more seconds and then starts over. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but how can I adjust the timing of the menu screen to match the timing of my audio clip?

How did you edit the music file - trying to take a 15 second piece of a song & loop it for the menu screen... not sure what software to use.
Thanks!

Continuing backing audio from main menu to sub menus?

Hi.
I've never created a DVD before, but have got the general hang of iDVD. The only thing I seem to be having trouble with is having continuous music through all my menus. I have dragged and dropped a song to the top level which plays in the background ok, but as soon as I navigate to a sub menu it stops playing. Is there a way to just have the same song on loop no matter which menu I am in?
I'm using iLife 11 if that makes any difference.

If you are asking if you can have one audio playing continuously from one menu to the next.....this has been asked many times, and I still don't understand why it is an issue. When a viewer inserts your DVD disk to select to play your movie, an audio track plays and loops because no one knows how long the viewer will keep the menu on before making a selection...on any of the menus. You can add the same song/audio file to each menu and submenu so the same track plays, but you cannot make the audio consecutive from menu to menu.

Premiere Pro Does Not Support Audio-Only Capture For Some Formats, Such As HDV?

In the PPro CS 5.5 Help file under, "Recording audio", it says:
"Note: To capture an audio-only file from a digital video source, choose Audio from the Capture menu in the Logging pane of the Capture panel.
"Premiere Pro does not support audio-only capture for some formats, such as HDV."
I'm shooting in HDV and if I want to capture audio only, would I just need to switch my setting to DV?
The only thing is my Canon HV20's HDV audio is MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz.
My DV setting is PCM audio, which I think is a better quality format, right?
Would there be any noticeable difference?
Thanks.

Capture your HDV material in the normal way and just drag audio only from the source monitor to the timeline.
