Audio problems w/ DVD burned

I am using iDVD 6.0.4.
I created a DVD containing two movie clips from iMovie HD, and several .avi files. When previewed in iDVD, all movie clips play normally. When burned to disk (using DVD+R media), the audio for the long movie from iMovie (which contains audio from the actual video plus songs inserted from iMovie) is missing. However, all other audio tracks for other video clips and menus are present.
I tried removing the QuickTime components as recommended in one of the Troubleshooting guides, and this DVD had the same issue, PLUS the video from the short .avi files is missing.
Help!

Do your basic deleting of iDVD preferences and then do a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iDVD and trash the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iDVD and see if you still have the problem. iDVD will recreate the .plist file that you deleted.
If that doesn't work, it seems to me that if all other clips play audio except for that one clip, then there is something wrong with that one clip. I would run it through Streamclip and convert to aiff.
You could also launch your iDVD project in a different account and see if that makes a difference.

  • Audio problems with DVD studio pro project

    Hi, I'm having a problem getting the audio on a dvd project to play properly through my tv's speakers. The audio comes out very low and jumps in and out. I mixed my audio in FCP, sey the master gain at 0db, mixed it down, sent it to compressor, compressed it to dolby digital pro ac3, sent it to dvd pro, added it to the video and burnt it. The wierd thing is the audio seems to be okay when played through the speakers connected to my dvd player but doesn't work properly through the tv's speakers. Other dvd's work through the tv speakers so I know its not that. Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thanks

    OK - several things here.
    Firstly, mixing to 0db is way too loud for most folk. A CD is often mixed to -3db and this is much louder than normal TV or film, which are at best -12 or -20db respectively. I would seriously consider remixing the audio to a quieter level to avoid sound distortion on your (or your client's) TV.
    Secondly, exporting to Compressor and using teh Dolby settings is fine, but did you use -27 for the dialog normalisation? If so you will have attenuated the audio. Use a setting of -31 if you want the output file to sound the same as the input.
    Also, have you got RF overmodulation protection checked? This is another place where you could have introduced the effect you are describing. Do you connect to your TV using RF connections? If not, uncheck the setting in the compressor and re-encode the audio from scratch.

  • Re: K7T266pro2 Board mod - Problem with DVD burner/DVD ROM

    Hi there!
    I did the mod and installed a Athlon XP 2400 (T-Bred) on my board. Everything worked perfect, I had the 3.7 bios and it recognized the processor correctly, same for WIN, Sandra etc. System is stable, temperature are much lower compared to my old 1700XP.
    But there exits a problem and I am not sure if it's related to the removal of the cap. First my DVD burner and my DVD-ROM stopped working and after thorough testing (different combinations master/slave/CS...) I thought they're broken and got a new DVD burner. But after installing this one - sampe problem.
    This is the problem: The bios does not recognize the burner when it's in "auto" setting, it does so when doing autodetection in the bios. Then it says "DVD" for the respective IDE channel. But the drive does not react. If I press eject the lamp on the drive starts blinking but nothing happens, the tray does not open. Sometimes the drive is listing in WIN but it's not accessible.
    All my HDD's work fine even on the same IDE channel.
    Does anyone encounter a similiar rpoblem or have any idea how to solve this? I am sure itt must be a bios issue (to test I have flashed the 3.74 beta bios but problem remains).
    Thanks.
    Cheers

    Hello! I tried to reply, but was thrown out of the forum without passing "Go". In short:
    Have only one optical drive in.
    Make it Master at the end of the cable.
    Disable DMA for it.
    If this one works now, continue with the next.
    Don't re-enable DMA till both are working.

  • MSI 6380 Problem with DVD burner

    Hello
    I have a prob with my new DVD burner. Maybe someone of oyu has any idea what could be the prob.
    I have an Athlon XP 2400 (T-Bred) on my board (MSI Kt7 266, MSI 6380 v2). I have done the C37 mod and removed the cap. Everything worked fine. Processor correctly recognized etc.
    First my old DVD burner and my old DVD-ROM stopped working (means they didn't react to any commands anymore, I pres sejecct and nothing happens...) and after thorough testing (different combinations with correct jumper setting master/slave/CS..., new cable...) I thought they're broken and got a new DVD burner. But after installing this one - sampe problem.
    This is the problem in deatils: The bios does recognize the burner in autodetection in the bios or with the setting "auto". Then it says "DVD" for the respective IDE channel and during bootpu it shows the correct name of theburner (LG GSA-4163). But the drive does not react on commands. If I press eject the lamp on the drive starts blinking but nothing happens, the tray does not open. It blinks a few times then blinks a few times very fast but nothing happens. The drive is listed in the explorer in WIN but I cannot access it. Also, the device manager shows no problem. All my HDD's work fine even on the same IDE channel.
    Does anyone encounter a similiar rpoblem or have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks.

    I got another psu, more powerful then my old one. Same problem though. Can it be that this is the third optical drive in a row that fails?
    Strange is that with the new psu (3,3-28A, 5V-35A, 12V-26A, 410W combined, ANTEC Truepower) my hardware monitor shows that for all the power the values are lower compared to my old psu. It shows 3,26 V 4,9V and 11,7V repsectively. With the other psu all values were higher. Is that an error or does this new psu suck?

  • How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

    Hi
    I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
    I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
    After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
    I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
    Is there any advice on what I should do.

    Hi
    What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
    That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
    > I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
    According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
    Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
    PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS

  • Problem with DVD burner

    When i try to insert a CD or DVD into my PB's internal dvd burner and immediately ejects it. Have tried a bunch of different brands of CDs and dvds. Same results. It takes the disk in and then immediately ejects it. Any ideas as to what's wrong?
    thx
    lenn

    It may need a cleaning, go to your local office supply store and buy a DVD/CD cleaning kit which will clean the laser in your drive.
    Sometimes resetting the PRAM takes 2-3 attemps so try at least 2 more times and while you are it also reset the SMC 2-3 times back to back. The correct instructions for both can be located by clicking Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

  • Problem with DVD burning

    I was trying to burn DVD with GUI it failed multiple times, so I tried with growisofs, but problem is the same:
    :-[ WRITE@LBA=10h failed with SK=5h/INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE]: Invalid argument
    if I try again it shows
    :-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/WRITE PROTECTED]: Input/output error
    so this process just destroys my DVDs
    Do you know what may be wrong? I use same DVD type as before, same burner, same software (I was able to burn one, then it stopped to work). I tried even reboot and power off, nothing seems to work.

    I'm having a similar problem, I didn't bun DVDs for some time just to see that now I can't anymore...

  • Has anybody had problems with DVD's burnt with Optiarc drive

    I am burning movie DVD's through iDVD. The movie formats are initially QT with PCM sound encoding. They seem to work well on an old Samsung DVD player, but stutter on a brand new Samsung computer. I do understand it could be a problem with the newer computer, but I would like to hear if anyone else has had any problems so I can see if the problem is more widespread.

    I too am having trouble playing DVDs burned with my Optiarc drive. Sorry I don't have the solution, but I can add a data point to the story about problems with DVDs burned with Optiarc.
    My current hardware: mid-2007 24" iMac, built-in Optiarc DVD RW AD-5630A with firmware 1AHM / MMC-3.
    My scenario: after making home movies with iMovie '08 and iDVD '08, I either burn to DVD (TDK 16x DVD-R 4.7 GB) straight from iDVD or I save as disc image from iDVD and then burn the disc image from Toast 9. In either scenario, I can play the DVD on my iMac or any other Mac or Windows computer. However, it will not play on my Xbox (original Xbox, not the 360) because it freezes when trying to mount (sometimes the Xbox will not recognize the disc as a DVD, and sometimes it will begin mounting the disc and then freeze before displaying the title menu).
    Before I bought my new iMac, I had the same workflow on an older 2003 17" G4 iMac that has a Sony DVD burner, and those discs play fine on all DVD players including my Xbox. To test the hypothesis that something happened to my Xbox around the time that I upgraded to my mid-2007 24" iMac, I burned several DVDs using my older iMac, and they continue to mount and play fine on the Xbox. On both my older and newer iMac, I have Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed, same version of Toast 9, and I burn at the slowest speed (2x) on both. So it seems that the problem can be isolated to the Optiarc DVD burner, but I'm not sure if there are other factors at play here.
    I searched the Optiarc site (www.sonynec-optiarc.com) but could not find a firmware update for the AD-5630A. However, I did find this site via Google:
    Liggy's and Dee's modified NEC and Optiarc firmwares
    http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/Optiarc-AD-5630A/
    Because I was not sure about the site's reputation or validity of the firmware, I have not tried it yet.

  • Satellite A60: firmware for DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e needed !

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem with DVD burner TEAC DV-W24e. It has been some time that it is no more able to write any DVD or CD. Today, I checked the firmware and saw that the version is not the good one at all. Could anybody tell me where I could get the last firmware for that DVD burner or could anyone send it to me by e-mail ! It would be great !!!!
    Thanks to all and season's greetings.
    Ben

    I found a firmware update on the Toshiba page in the Satellite A60 area but its only for these drives:
    - SD-R2212
    - SD-R1312
    - SD-R1512
    - SD-R2412
    - SD-R6112
    - SD-R2512
    I think you have to Google or to ask the drive manufacture for the right firmware

  • Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

    I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
    But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
    How are you adding the files to Compressor?
    In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)

  • 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 problem when burning DVD

    Hi, Hope that someone can help me, I have already make several DVD's,and those went fine, but the latest Imovie project is with spoken audio.
    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!

  • Problems ripping with an external DVD Burner

    Hello Everyone,
    Recently I purchased a Liteon External DVD Burner off of newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106011) -- It's a Liteon SHW-1635SX -- I bought this because the DVD-ROM drive thats in my tower natively is REALLY slow and I wanted to get a new one that I could use with a laptop that I`m going to purchase in the future. Whenever I try to rip a CD into iTunes using the burner, It says that it's ripping the disk, however it doesn't spin up the cd and it takes about 2 seconds to "rip" all the songs. I know this drive is soposed to be faster than my old one, But two seconds is a little TOO fast. Plus, I know that it's not copying the songs because when I try to listen to them in my library, the song won't play. (Under time it says "789:54..." for all the songs on the cd, in my library) However, the burner rips perfectly in Windows Media Player... Is this perhaps some kind of glitch with iTunes??? Basicly, the only way I can rip a CD into iTunes is to use my old DVDROM drive, but that defeats the purpose... below is the CD Diagnostic log that I got from iTunes::::::::

    hi Aric!
    hmmm. we'd better check on the usual suspects with that. (the incredibly long song times can also be associated with these sorts of causes.)
    You can't import or play music from an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
    ... and the following resources might be helpful with that. (check on firmware and drivers even though it's a brand new unit.)
