Audio skipping in slideshow

Hi Guys,
Major panic on here.
Pal DVD
I have just created a wedding slideshow dvd with four slideshows within.
To each slideshow I have added music which is fitted to the slideshow duration. All slideshows have a transition (the same for each show)Gradient wipe 03:00.
Everything is great except that the audio keeps skipping or missing regularly. I have used wav format and have transcode settings;
Copy of pal dv High Quality 8mb CBR 1 pass
Aud format PCM, Stereo, 16 bit, 48 khz.
As I am fairly new to encore I do not know whether these are the right settings for a PAL DVD and would welcome some helpful advice to solve this problem.
Using Encore DVD 2
Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply.
David.

Hi all,
I find the two replies amazing., especially as Adobe promote Encore as the main DVD creator with a slideshow function.
For those that are interested, I remade the slideshow in Encore 2 omitting the transitions and also the fit slideshow to audio feature.
Burnt a fresh copy and ran it on the TV. The skipping was still there but it was now obvious where the problem lies.
The music skip occurs immediately prior to a picture change, just where a transition would commence (if you had one set).
So lets hope the smart boys at Adobe have enough now to isolate this problem once and for all, considering that it comes in a package costing $800.

Transition Makes Audio Skip in Slideshow

Hi
I just bought some training dvds on DVDSP. So I was following along on the dvds while making my own compulation.
it consisted of some video and still pics.
when the audio is playing through the stills, it stops (goes blank) during the transition.
why is this and how can we correct it?
you shouldent have to watch a slideshow with gaps in the music right?
BTW, it happens with any transitions I used.

Hi:
Where are you warching the DVD: computer or stand alone player?
Some advices:
- Use Dolby 2 (AC3) audio. Encode your audio using Compressor before inmporting it into DVDSP. AC3 audio uses a lower bitrate.
- When you finish your Slideshow esign, duplicate it (to keep a backup copy) and convert it to a track. That uses to help solving weird behaviours of Slideshows. This is a one way process. You cannot re convert the track to a slideshow. That's why you must duplicate it in casae you need to re edit later.

Video and audio skipping in PowerDVD 8

Hi,
I have an issue when I try to play DVD's in PowerDVD 8. Exactly every 5 seconds the video and audio skip, or jump/become choppy and I cannot watch a movie. I have been researching and trying to figure out what is happening but have no idea. Could it be the X-fi I have installed the latest beta drivers to no avail.
Anybody have this problem or have any ideas on how to fix it's I have updated all drivers/firmware for everything and still can't make it go, sigh.
I have the following specs:
Intel x38BT mobo
X-Fi Fatalitly champ.
4GB DDR3 RAM
9800 GTX
ASUS 8x dvd-rom
E8500 CPU
Win Vista 32-bit
Thanks

Try this utility:

and post results.
Gigabyte Boards at least with x48 chipset have an audio latency bug that is only fixed via a beta bios update. I have no idea if this also might affect your board...

No audio on exported slideshows?

There is no audio in my slideshow exports. Slideshows plays as expected in aperture 3.0.1. I have tried different coding options iPod, AppleTV and custom. No audio when I play the exported file with iTunes. The video is fine.

I had posted a similar complaint but apparently my tone did not suit the censors (I refrained from cussing..). That aside, thanks for posting the fix. Note that in page 145 of the booklet that came with the software (upgrade in my case) shows the audio track in the lower position which is apparently track 2 that does not export. I still think there is a bug since there is a reasonable expectation that multiple tracks might be used to mix a unique sonic experience to go along with this wonderful software. Gee and gosh golly, I sure hope that the great people at Apple pay attention to these things.

Audio skips after rendering

Does anyone know how to correct audio that skips after rendering? The video is fine and the audio matches up to the video but the audio skips as though it is going in and out. The movie is about 2 hours long and the first few clips were fine but now it is becoming a problem. I rendered both the video and audio at the same time then I went back and rendered only.....mixdown to see if I could get it to work......no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tammy,
If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
Glad that you got things toned down.
Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
Good luck,
Hunt

ATV2 Video pixelated and audio skipping

I don't think this is the same as the flickering issue or the frame dropping issue discussed by others. Thus, the new thread.
When streaming videos (movies or TV shows) from itunes to the ATV2 the picture will get pixelated with the missing portions turning green. The video will continue but the audio skips (exactly like a needle on a record player skipping back). If I exit the video to the menu then resume, the video plays fine for awhile until the problem arises again. To give you an example of the frequency, it happened about a dozen times during one 40 minute episode.
All software is updated to the latest versions and all hardware has been restarted. Content is encoded using handbrake using the ATV2 preset and then passed through MetaX for tags. The setup is as follows: stored on DROBO->firewire->iMac->802.11n(5Ghz)->Airport Extreme->ethernet->ATV2.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

Haven't been able to see a pattern yet. I can watch a recently encoded movie (1-2hrs) without it happening once, but like I mentioned, it happened 12 times during a single 40 minute tv show. Both were encoded using same version of handbrake and ATV2 preset.
How do these two files compare in terms of total average data rate?

Only half of some iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone will play, then audio skips to next song in playlist!

Several (maybe 5%) of iTunes Matched songs on my iPhone do this... at EXACTLY 1/2 way through the song.
EXAMPLE: At 2:25 of a 4:50 long song (Shania Twain - From This Moment) the next song in playlist (Taylor Swift - Tim McGraw) starts as the audio skips to beginning of next song in playlist. Oddly, Shania's attractive album artwork and title stays up while Taylor's tune plays (?)
When the timeline for the first Shania song hits the end, the artwork slides to Taylor Swift's CD Cover art and the timer slider adjusts to near the end of that song.
When I play same songs on the same playlist on iTunes (also downloaded from iTunes Match) this does not occur.
Does anyone else see this happen or are there any suggestions?
THANKS

Hey Guys, from my late model iPhone 4, I am also seeing my iTunes Match songs terminate playing very abruptly ...some won't play at all ...others skip to the next track after 10 seconds.
I checked the source files on my iMAC, and they are 100 percent perfect.
Tried deleting them, recreating them, signing out and then back into iTunes with Match On & Off, etc ...still no resolution to these problems.
Maybe the MATCH product is crashing under it's own weight now? It used to be good, but now I am not so sure anymore.
Please post if you have any solution or suggestions.
Thanks!

Itunes songs won't populate in the audio browser for slideshow. Says that they are loading, but after 2 hours gave up. How do I fix this challenge?

itunes songs won't populate in the audio browser for slideshow. Says that they are loading but after 2 hours I gave up. How do I fix this challenge?

Can you access the iTunes Library in other app? IPhoto? IMovie? If not, then I'd bring that to the iTunes forum

How do I remove the audio from my slideshow. it will not let me delete in the browser

I have made 3 attempts to burn an IDVD Slideshow with no movie.It skips the slideshow and goes to movie then error multiplexing msg .Help

I have tried 3 times to burn a slideshow to IDVD and get the multiplexing msg toward the end. I notice that it skips the slideshow process and goes to the movie burn. Have not movie in the slideshow. Help

I had the same problem and solve it using this sequence. Here you go:
1) Delete all old iDVD projects that you couldn't burn under the same name;
2) Reboot your PC;
3) Quit all open applications (check if any is open at "Force Quit");
4) Go to: Users/Library/Caches and delete folder com.apple.idvd
5) Go to: Users/Library/Preference and delete file com.apple.idvd.lists
6) Insert a blank DVD;
7) Go to "Applications" and open iDVD (don't open it from any previous iDVD project);
8) Select " Create new project" and prepare your project;
9) Go to iDVD Preferences / Advance / Burning Speed: and select 4x ;
10) Go to menu "Advance" and deselect "Encode in Background";
11) At the same above menu, click "Delete encoded projects" and select OK (ignore alert messages);
12) Select "Burn" and... no more problems!

Audio skips when streaming from the internet (pandora/grooveshark).

I'm using airport extreme, wired connection, to a macbook pro (2011) and mac pro (2009). audio skips on both devices when streaming from pandora or grooveshark. problem has persisted through system upgrades, clean installs etc... Problem persists through different web browsers (Firefox/chrome/safari)
Ironicaly, Itunes radio does not skip, neither does netflix.
I have seen COUNTLESS posts regarding this problem from many different APPLE users. I would love to see apple address this problem...

Your first step is to determine if there is an issue with this specific movie or if it's a universal problem. Does ANYTHING from the MBP provide both sound and video?
Another thought is DRM coding but that should affect both video and audio. If the movie has DRM coding and your television does not, then the movie won't play. I'm not an expert but I don't think that that's your problem because you do get the video.

Audio skips back few seconds while video freezes

Hi,
We are running FMS 4.0 to stream on-demand MBR videos using the OSMF player. We have noticed that occasionally during playback the video freezes, while the audio skips back a few seconds and starts playing. Once the audio catches up, the video unfreezes and resumes normal playback.
Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to debug?
Thanks.

I looked at the logs and it does look like there was switching going on when this issue occured.
Could you expand a bit more on what you mean by "switching issue" and "exact same timelines" ?
Also, how could I go about verifying that the different bitrate streams have the same "timelines"?
Thanks,

Video pauses and audio skips

While watching any video in iTunes, the video will freeze and the audio will skip rapidly like a broken record for 5-10 seconds, the video will then speed forward and finally resume at normal speed but with the audio out of sync. Sometimes this happens only once, but it usually occurs a few times in one viewing. The audio will sync back up witht the video if I manually skip forward or backwards, but it's ridiculously annoying and I shouldn't have to put up with this since I have to update this stupid program five times a month. When the audio skips, it does something like this: if the character is saying "attack", the audio will skip and all I'll hear is "attaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaattaatta". Does that make sense? I hope so. Thanks for anyone's input.

Audio Skipping in iTunes

I have been experiencing this problem for quite some time now. When I listen to music files either purchased from iTunes or directly uploaded from a CD onto iTunes, the audio skips. It is as if a second has been taken out of the song -- for instance, a song may jump from 22 to 24 seconds. It is never in the same place, and the number of times it happens per song varies.
This problem does not occur with files downloaded from other sources and played on iTunes. It only happens with the ones that are encoded by iTunes as AAC audio files.
Does anyone know if there is some type of troubleshooting I can perform to see if my computer is having a problem playing AAC audio files?? I am extremely perplexed by this, and no one has been able to help me thus far. Please someone help!

Hi,
I have a similar problem with music files 'stuttering' or 'jittering' and it's particularly noticeable during quieter tracks. Almost sounds like crackles or pops in the background.
The interesting thing is that I played the same problematic files on the same machine using Windows Media Player and they were rock steady perfect!? Suggests to me an issue with the iTunes software. I was similarly tempted to reinstall iTunes and the audio drivers, but I see this didn't help another friend here with the same problem.
Th eproblem has come about since I transferred all music to my new computer running Windows 7 64 bit and wonder if there is an issue with the latest iTunes 64 bit version software??
Any thoughts/advice please? Regards.

PowerBook Audio Skipping Problem

Hi.
I own a PowerBook G4 that runs OS 10.5.8. Recently I have been having this audio skipping problem. It happens when I play back things like DVDs and audio files.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

iTunes is s h i t.
