Audio skipping on dvd

I'm brand new at Idvd and have pretty successfully made my first dvd of a slide show of pictures from my daughters play. Since it's almost 7 minutes I managed to join two song tracks in itunes. Everything looks and sounds fine on preview. I'm downloading onto Fugi DVD-r at the slowest burn speed. But there is a sound gap of amount 2 seconds during one of the songs. I believe the slide stalls too because after the two seconds everything is in sync and finishes fine. Any ideas how I can correct the music. It sounds fine when I listen to it through the itunes library.

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
onto Fugi DVD-r at the slowest burn speed.
How are you controlling the burn speed?
Could be a media issue... I had a friend give me some Fuji DVD-R that gave me a burn error.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

  • 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:

    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...

  • PowerBook Audio Skipping Problem

    Hi.

    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Too bad Apple can't write software to run on Windows.

    • Use a very good brand of DVDs - Verbatim comes to mind (ever heard me say anything else ?)
    • DVD type - DVD-R plays on even older DVD-players (No +/-RW - known problem makers)
    • Burn speed - I set it to x2 or x4

  • Audugy 2 Platinum Spdif Optical out audio skips/stutters/static/pop/interfere

    I have the Audigy Dolby 5. working, blue light from the sony receiver, but when the dvd plays with powerdvd, the picture is fine, but the audio skips and stutters. It works fine when I am decoding via the audigy and analog,?and I have tried powerdvd and windvd and they both have the same issue with spdif, so the issue is with the Optical out and some kind of interference.
    Is there anything?I can do?
    Any input would be appreciated, thank you.

    hey roachmojo,
    join the club...i have exactly the same issues as you have...WinXP SP2, Audigy Platinum, Optical In from Sat Recei'ver, Creative Gigaworks 7. analog speakers...
    sound skips, stutters, cracks, pops continuously
    tried upgrading drivers, but made problem even worse
    can't go back to old drivers even with thorough uninstall (registry, driver cleaner pro, manual deletion, etc.)
    might be because creative "downgraded" firmware on my card with new drivers
    i'm using an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe M/B with Nvidia Nforce audio onbard (heard there's major issues with this)
    any help would be appreciated, otherwise it's time to toss this junk out

  • What's the simplest way to edit the audio on a DVD using a Mac?

    I appreciate you taking the time to read/respond to this post.
    Here's the deal:
    My church records its service on DVDs to pass out to members.  This past weekend an annoying, high-pitch hum found it's way on to our DVD.  We also record audio versions of our service to pass out on CDs, and (scratching my head) this week's CD turned out just fine, no hum.
    Is there an easy way to detach the "bad" audio from the DVD and replace it with the good "audio" from the CD?  I know I could do what I want using iMovie, but every time I do something like this using that program, the picture quality on my new DVD looks worst than the original, plus it takes a ton of time converting and reauthoring.
    Your help and suggestions are most appreciated.

    I've never really used IMovie cause I have Final Cut, but I'm surprised its degrading your video , This makes me wonder what format your movies are in , are they .dv ( digital video ) ?
    You may even take a look at your burn settings in IDVD , I cant think of anything else outside of video editing software that will do what you are trying to do, in short its your only real option..

  • Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

    Hi
    I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
    Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
    Cheers
    Sammy

    I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
    I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
    The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
    This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

  • Extract audio from a DVD how to

    Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
    Thank you

    Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.

  • Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

    Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

    You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
    As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

  • Importing Audio from a DVD Concert

    I want to import the audio from a DVD concet into iTunes.
    I've tried MactheRipper and MAC3dec to do the conversion but the main concert file was 1 hour and 15 minutes long and it only imported the intro which lasted about 45 seconds.
    What I'd really like to do is import the entire concert then cut it up into songs to import into iTunes.
    So my questions are:
    1. How do start with a 1.3 hour audio file on DVD and end up with 16 song files in my iTunes library?
    2. Is it possible to do this with AudioHijack or a similar program?

    The software is capable of extracting audio only at the chapter level. Using a DVD I mastered myself, I can use the Mode button, then select Title - Chapter Extraction, click the D button, and then the Streams button becomes active. Clicking that opens a drawer where all the various audio tracks are available, and they can be extracted one at a time using the SChpt and EChpt drop-down lists.
    Again, please be sure that whatever you're doing with a DVD is legal in your own case. I am not suggesting that you use any particular software for any particular purpose, but just explaining how to navigate through a confusing interface in a program you already seem to have.
    EDIT: I've read through your posts again, and you mentioned that you bought the DVD. Of course I can't be sure about this, but if it's a commercial DVD, it is most likely encrypted. In that case, you really must be sure that you have the right to extract audio tracks from the disc (or even to use the software in question)--even though you're not "copying" the disc by working only with the audio portion, it may be the case that even the audio on the disc is protected in some way by copyright. So, I can't emphasize enough that I in no way am encouraging you to do anything outside the scope of fair and legitimate use of your DVD product.

  • Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

    I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

    Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
    No, you can't do that with iTunes.
    There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
    You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
    b dvd audio ripping
    or some such terms.
    Good Luck!

  • How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

    Hi guys,
    I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
    George

    I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
    Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.

  • Freeware app to extract audio from a DVD?

    Hello all,
    Is there a freeware program I can use with OSX.3.9 to pull bits of audio from a DVD? Say about 30 seconds here, and 20 seconds there from a couple of different DVD's is all I need.
    Fingers crossed, I'm on a bit of a tight schedule with this one!

    Good grief... I had that on my computer already, and have never used it...
    THANKS! It worked great!
