Audio problems with iDVD

My problem is that the audio ( soundtrack and added music)quits half way through the burned dvd. It is fine when viewing it in iDVD.

Did you ever resolve this as I have the same problem, the music stops part way through the DVD. Everything plays OK in iDVD before burning. I am now trying a different make DVD and also created a playlist in iTunes first. Last time I joined all the music together in Garage Band. By the way, my DVD I am trying to create is a slideshow with music and lasts approx 35 mins.

Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

Hello,
I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
An example of the distortion can be checked here:
http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
_Computer 1_
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
_Computer 2_
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
afp://IP_ADDRESS
If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.

Problem with iDVD - cannot burn DVD.
Self has a MacBook Pro, which al new software.
My problem is, when my burn a slideshow, prop process ever before burning.
Box show: Multiflexing and burning: write Lead-in, then the process stops and ejects the disc.
I have burn a Movie test – no problems.
Self use Verbatim DVD-R
Who can help - what should I do?

How did you create the slideshow and get it in iDVD?
As a general comment try following this workflow to separate the encoding and burning processes:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Hi
Can You
Go up to File Menu in iDVD - and here down to
Save as a DiskImage
If this works - You can burn Your DVD in another way via Disk Util tool

USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
Here are the facts:
All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.

Audio problems with Droid/X

When sending voice messages using Cloudtalk, the recipient hears only garbage. I contacted Cloudtalk technical support, and it appears that the 3gp file sent by the phone is not recognized. This problem is known by them, and happens only on Droid/X.
Anyone else is experiencing audio problems with the droid/x?

That doesn't sound like an audio issue with the X, it sounds like a compatibility issue between the X and the service.

Audio problems with CHS 435

Hello all, I'm having audio problems with my FiOS set top box. When I start to change channels I lose audio and can't get it back unless I turn the TV off/on or I change the HDMI source on my TV . Seems after changing a couple of channels the problem happens. I've tried the in home agent auto correct, and different HDMI cables. I have a Westinghouse TV and I'll try a firmware update for the TV and see if that fixes it. Any fix for this and the possibility that it might be the set top box ? I just got FiOS and all is going well besides this issue. Seems that the other STB that are model # 335 aren't having this problem.

Some TVs have had issues with the HDMI handshake and the Audio. You may be required to use the separate bulkier HD Component cables with separate audio cables. Or try it as a solution on that TV.
I have CHS 435 DVR on a Samsung, and 2 CHS 335s on different model Vizio TVs, all with HDMI, and no issues. Others have reported different issues. I did a search here with the following results. Perhaps this information will help.

Audio Problems with some HD channels (HBO mostly)

I'm experiencing sporadic audio problems with a handful of HD channels. Most noticably on HBO.
When the audio is output through the television itself, it sounds OK... however if the audio is output through my home theater receiver and speakers, I can hear a lot of static and "crackling" on certain movies and shows.
The issue isn't the home theater setup, as I have several other components that use it (AppleTV, Bluray, Xbox, etc.) and the audio sounds perfect from them.
The only device that displays that poor audio is the FiOS Set Top Box and even then it's only on a few channels.
I thought maybe that the optical audio cable between the set top box and the receiver may have been bad, so I replaced that. Same problem even with the new cable.
The problem is either with the Set Top Box itself or the audio levels on the stream from the channel provider.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this, and if so... did you resolve it somehow?
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Check the following.

You need 'HD Extra' for channels 446 - 453. I have the free 'BT Sport HD' but that does not cover entertainment HD channels. You need to subscribe to the HD Extra bolt-on for £3 for them. Have you ordered HD Extra (it only became available from last Sunday)?

(Audio) problems with MPEG2 content

Hi everybody,
I have the following problems:
I have 2 movies, MPEG 2 format. I bought the Apple MPEG-2 component for Quick Time, the movies play fine. Then I trimmed them using Quick Time X and saved them as a "film", i.e. not changing any contents (at least this is what the menu information says).
1st problem: The movies still play fine, but strangely have the same file size as the source. How is this possible, if I have trimmed them (I actually cut both of them in half)? Info says the codec of the trimmed movies is "m2s", while the codec of the source files is "MPEG Layer 2, MPEG-2 Video".
Then I assembled a DVD using iDVD 7.0.4. When previewing the project in iDVD, everything seemed fine. I then saved the project as an image file.
2nd problem: When previewing the image file with DVD player, there is no audio. The image quality is fine, but no sound at all.
3rd problem: The iDVD .dvdproj file I created the image from is suddenly bigger than 5 GB, which is roughly the size of the image I created. Also, I can't open the project file anymore without causing iDVD to hang at startup.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on? Any help is highly appreciated!
Thank you!!

No, every codec is compressed. But it is a question of how much, and in what manner. Some codecs compress each frame in the same way image files are compressed (intraframe compression). Some codecs also use incomplete information for the frames, relying on prior frames for some information (interframe compression). Codecs with interframe compression save space, but are not good for editing because your software has to recreate a complete frame when you are creating an edit point, which takes extra time. So different codecs have been devised to fill different needs and applications.
Mpeg2 is done in such a way that it is space efficient and high quality, but introduces enough artifacts that once you transcode to mpeg2, you are better off going back to your source if you ever need to edit again.
There is uncompressed video, but I would call that a format rather than codec (compressor/decompressor). If you converted your footage to uncompressed, it would take up somewhere around 100GB for each hour. DV only uses 12GB per hour.

Is there a way to create a commentary audio track with iDVD?

Thanks
Eric

No not with iDVD.....but here are a few ideas:
iMovie can add a voice-over. So build a slideshow in iPhoto, import into iMovie and talk away, even add music too.
Use garageband to record a voiceover. Then export back to iTunes, and then you can use it with iDVD. You can import the music from iTunes and add voice to that too. Only problem this way is that it might be hard to do the timing (see the sldieshow while you talk.....)

Audio problem with 2gen ipod touch

Recently I've been having issues with my second generation Ipod Touch and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me. The problem is a bit strange, so please bear with me as I try to explain it.
As I said, I have a second generation 8GB Ipod Touch that hasn't been too problematic until now. Recently it has been having major audio issues. I was listening to it with my headphones one day when the audio cut out. I thought I had paused the track by accident, but according to the screen, the audio was still playing, however the volume bar had vanished as though no headphones were connected at all. I popped the headphones out and then in again; it worked for a few moments before the problem happened again. I had thought it was just a problem with my headphones until it happened again with a different set and then the audio jack for my car stereo. All the cords are fully pushed in, I checked that problem immediately. It will randomly happen where the audio will cut out and the volume bar will vanish, like it would with nothing connected to it.
Another issue that I noticed is with my external speakers. For whatever reason they are no longer working, just like the headphones, the volume bar is gone and will not return no matter if the music is playing/paused or if I attempt to adjust it with the buttons on the side.
I have never had a real issue with this Ipod and I'd love to know if there's an explanation or if I should just attempt to take it into the Apple Store and see what they can make of it.
Thanks in advance, feel free to ask any questions and I apologize if the explanation was rubbish.

I've seen that kind of issue when there's a problem with the dock connector. It's somehow detecting something plugged into the bottom. You should try to make sure there's nothing stuck in or around the dock connector such as lint or some thing else.
Also make sure you backup and restore your ipod to make sure you take care of any software issues that may be causing this to occur.
Lastly if it still happens, you should definitely take it in for service.

Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

Hello
We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

Aspect Ratio Problems with iDVD

I am putting together a video presentation with video from several different sources. I have had a whale of a time getting the video to display uniformly at the same aspect ratio. I put all my separate clips into Quicktime Pro and set the aspect ratio to 960 X 540. FINALLY, in Quicktime Pro I was able to assemble the full video so that ALL the footage played in 960 X 540 and looked seamless. I thought I was in great shape.
Then......I thought I would test the video in iDVD because I need to burn about 40 copies of this presentation. Lo and behold, iDVD takes part of the video footage and somehow changes the aspect ratio of certain footage. Part of the video plays in a small postage stamp area in the upper left of the screen, while other segments play in full widescreen just fine. Obviously, my aspect ratios are still messed up somehow, even though the the entire video plays in full 960 X 540 glory in Quicktime Pro. I'm stumped.
Anybody run across this problem in iDVD before?

Wow, nobody qualified to help me with this problem?
I'm finding out, thanks to more research on my part, that iDVD does not like the aspect ratio of 960 X 540. The only reason I used that setting is because part of of my video has an iMovie 9 "trailer" and iMovie 9's "large" export is set to 960 X 540. The weird thing is iDVD handles segments of my video that is 960X540 just fine, but it completely bungles up the iMovie 9 trailer segment that is 960 X 540.
I have also found in further testing that iDVD does like a .move file in 853 X 480 and displays that aspect ratio in full widescreen glory.
Hopefully this information will help somebody someday avoid the headaches I have had.

Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV. I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie? Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:
