Audio stops at particuar point when previewing iDVD

Hello,
I've just created my very first iDVD using photos from iPhoto and music from a playlist from iTunes.
All is well except when I preview the DVD, the audio stops in one particular point on the slideshow - I read the help re: audio glitches but am hesitant to burn the DVD if not sure that this glitch will indeed be removed.
I'm a newcomer to Mac in general so any advice gladly received.
Thanks

It is because the chapters reach 99 then start over at chapter 01 on the counter but it does continue on with the slideshow after the audio cuts out for a moment.
Does anyone know of a work around for the length of the chapters so that a 15:39 slideshow will not reach 99 chapters
Each image in a slideshow is treated as a chapter. A track (a slideshow is a track) is limited to 99 chapters. Prior to iDVD 6 slideshows were limited to 99 images. Apple created somedthing of a 'hack' in iDVD 6 allowing several tracks to be linked creating longer slideshows. The problem is, MANY DVD players don't like the 'hack'.
The only way arond the issue is to create a slideshow as a movie in iPhoto or iMovie.

Animation stops in the middle when preview in browser

I have run into a problem where the animation stops in the middle when I preview it in browser, but it is fine when I play it in the program. Please advise how to fix this problem. Thank you very much.

I've had this problem with a purchased song but never a ripped song. I think its an encoding problem with iTunes. One poster suggested converting the song, which kind of tells us that its something to do with the encoding. I can't remember the song that this happened with, some Tom Petty tune. But I do remember this, which is strange, this happened on my Touch but not the iPhone with same song.

Audio timing out of sync when previewing or published.

Hi all,
The issue I am having is when watching a preview or published cp4 project, the audio timings are out from the start.
This issue is not only on projects i have created but if i watch someone elses project the timing is still out
However if i use a collegues terminal the projects will play fine and in perfect audio sync.
I guess there is a issue with my terminal/captivate.
Any help or advise would be great as it is making life hard having to watch all previews on another terminal.
cheers
Lee

How was this clip imported? If it was captured/ingested, did you make sure that the sample rate of the capture settings matched the sample rate of your audio? Normally FCE will give you a warning if they don't match, but it can't hurt to make sure.

Audio stops at 39 minutes when playing a movie in I tunes

This just started to happen about a month ago. Movie starts and works flawlessly for about 39 minutes then the sound gets choppy and then no sound at all. I have to close iTunes and start over. I just downloaded the latest version 2 days ago. problem is still there.

I may have found the solution.
The original movie's format was and H.264 codec .mov file running at 551kbps - 4.1MB for a 0:59 minute clip.
I opened the original movie file in QuickTime Player 7 and exported it twice using two different mpeg4 settings - one resulting in a 1.3MB file (171kbps, scaled down to 320x240), and one in a 24.8MB file (at 3306kbps and the original size of 640x480). Logic had no problem what so ever with either of these files - playback was normal, and as I've experienced before, even viewing the video 2x or 3x bigger with a pop out window.
Now, opening another .mov file, that also uses the H.264 codec and I find no problems with playback and this movie file is a whopping 1280x720 and 3989kbps.
I've even exported the original file using the within QuickTime Player 7 H.264 codec and tested it - no problems within Logic Pro with the initial audio file I was working with or with others.
It seems the problem lies specifically with the original movie file and nothing else.
So this sort of problem seems to be resolved by a simple re-coding of the movie file that's causing the problems.

Hype widget; audio won't play when previewing on iPad

Hi,
I've come across a strange 'bug' in iBooks Author. Hope someone can help.
I made a widget using Tumult's Hype software. It has multiple scenes, audio and animated text. When previewing the widget in Hype everything works fine. But here comes the strange part;
When I insert the hype widget in an empty iBooksAuthor book the animation and audio works fine when previewing on my iPad2. But when i insert the widget in my iBook, wich has already ten pages filled with text, reviews, etc., the animation work, but the audio won't play when previewing on my iPad.
People from Tumult helped me, but were not able to fix this.
So in an empty book the widget from Hype works fine, but when inserting the widget in a book that has some pages the audio won't play! How can i fix this?
Thanks for the support!

Audio stops playing after a few seconds when importing a HD clip

I have CS4 running on Enterprise version of Windows 7 64 bit on the following hardware:
Processor: Intel i7-970 Hex core Gulftown
Motherboard: Asus P6X58 Premium
RAM: 24GB Kingston DDR3 1065
Video card: Nvidia Geforce9800GT
Four hard drives, system disk is stand alone and the other three are split in groups of RAID0
When I import a HD clip from file (EXCAM EX 720p60p) the audio will play in the source window or the timeline for a few seconds and then quit. If I edit the clip in Soundbooth, from the timeline, the waveform quits at the point that the audio stopped in the timeline.
This behavior is very sporatic; sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Closing the program and restarting sometimes solves a certain clips audio problem, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I worked all day without it happening but today it is happening every few clips. Some I can fix by restarting Premiere, some I can't.
If I import the clip from Bridge to Soundbooth the audio waveform is just fine.
I have seen this problem discussed several years ago but never resolved in that discussion. Any ideas?

Yes! I imported the entire BPAV in a file on my scratch drive under the specific project folder. From there I am using the media browser in CS4 to either preview the clip or import it into the project. The audio drops out whether it is previewed or imported. And as I have said, this behavior is not consistant. I have yet to find a repeatable cure.
Also as I have said if I import the offending clip, from the same folder, into Soundbooth using Bridge the waveform is fine. If I import the same clip into Soundbooth from the Premiere timeline the waveform goes flat where the audio stopped in Premiere.
Thanks for the quick replies.
I am readingthe article that was suggested soon.

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails. What is wrong with it?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.

Audio dropouts in iDVD 7.04 at every 99th frame when creatin IDVD slideshow

Dear Friends,
About two months ago, I completed my first iDVD slideshow project, consisting of 911 photos and a soundtrack. It seemed perfect when using iDVD Preview, but when I burned it to a DVD or saved it as a disk image, I discovered a series of audio dropouts, some minor, some moderate and some rather extreme. I also discovered that the dropouts occurred an EXACT mathematical interval, that is first at #99, next at #198, next at #297, and finally down to #892.
I contacted iDVD Support and they repeatedly argued that a dropout could happen at regular interval, and that they were always random. The suggestion given to me was to “always empty the iDVD cache before burning, which I did repeatedly and the issue persisted.
I called back in and instead of going back to iDVD Support, using my specific case number, I went sent to an Apple Support Generalist, who knew nothing of the issue, and so it happened again, and again, and again…
Has anyone in the real world beyond Cupertino ever experienced such an issue? If so, have you developed an effective resolution? My only resolution has been not to even have a audio soundtrack.
Thanks, Apple Support for not being there when I really need you!

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 8 from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

What do you do when photos appear on iPhoto fine with preview, but show up back with an explanation point when selected?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

MacBook Pro (2007) Audio stops when Bluetooth enabled

All audio stops playing when Bluetooth is toggled to 'On' and 'Discoverable'. No receiving devices are on. iTunes music pauses, and if playing Pandora through Chrome, Pandora stops functioning, and must be restarted. When receiving devices are turned on, and Bluetooth is toggled 'On', the MacBook does not pair. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

you are welcome

Why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)

why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)?

Hello again @st3lla,
I can understand the fear of messing up a computer when I first started seriously working on computers back in the early 90's I had to format and re-install my operating system twice a day for quite a while before I figured out a very important step (at least important for me), and that was after I made a change to my computer to restart it. This way if I messed something up I only had to undo one thing and not 50 because I went wild on it. lol
Anyways, do not be afraid of your computer all you need to do is learn that step, how to keep your personal items backed up and then of course how to re-install your computer back to factory and you can always start over with a fresh build.
On to your questions:
Q - What are the steps to ensure that all HP updates are done.
A - Simply review the HP Support document: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) and it will guide you through the process.
Q - What are the steps to ensure that all Windows updates are done?
A - Simply review the Microsoft Support document: Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions and again you will find answers to this question. (***Note: Do not worry if the document refers to Windows 8.1 it is only an upgraded version of Windows 8 and the steps are the same)
I am also including a Windows Support document: Install the latest Windows 8.1 Update, which will guide you through how to install the Windows 8.1 update on your computer.
And finally, to put your mind at ease I am providing you with two important HP Support documents: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), and Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will provide you with all the instructions you need to backup your personal files so you do not loose them if you ever do mess up the computer, as well as provide you with instructions on how to put your computer back to how it came from the factory.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you once again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

iBA doesn't offer a way to do differently, sorry.
