Audio wont play on main menu

Help, I can't get audio to play in the main menu of my IDVD. But it works fine in the submenu. Any ideas?

Hi
a. Audio won't play - most common problem is that audio used comes via iTune and DRM-protection silence it.
In iTune collect needed audio into a new PlayList and burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3). Use the files from this CD in Your projects.
b. Where does it not play ?
• On the burned DVD in any DVD-Player
• On the DiskImage in Your Mac via DVD-player tool
• In the iDVD application
c. Can it be so that You use .mp3 or other audio file format else than .aiff 44.1kHz 16-bit (or 48kHz 16-bit) ?

  • Changing Audio that Plays during a Menu

    1.) Can the audio that comes with a menu template for iDVD 6 be changed? I am interested in using the "Memories" template and changing the audio that plays during the menu.
    2.) If so, what is the best audio format, bitrate, etc. for importing into a iDVD menu?
    Thanks.

    Sure. Look in the Settings menu for iDVD and you'll see a "well" where you can drop audio files. Lots of audio formats will work, but you may run into a bit of trouble if you use protected songs purchased from iTunes. I'm assuming that you'll be using this for your own personal use, and in that case you can use any song from a CD that you own. Import it into iTunes using any of the iTunes formats (aiff, mp3, etc) and you should be able to drag and drop a copy from the iTunes library into that well. Don't be tempted to reorganize your Library with the Finder while you're there to get your song -- iTunes won't like that at all.
    "Best" audio formats? I think you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference among the competing formats, but .aiff is less compressed than mp3 if space is tight on your DVD.

  • Audio wont play when pc is hooked to tv

    ive followed the instructions on how to hook my pc  to my tv to stream video and sound and the vidio is vissible but the audio wont play. vollume is up and the imput out put is corectly in place. why cant i hear audio?

    Hi precious5959,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! 
    I am happy to help you with your audio problem, but it would be helpful to have the product number and OS version. Please read the following documents if you need help in finding that.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    What sort of connection are you using between your computer and tv? For some connection types, audio is not included and requires an additional audio cable.
    Some general information that may be helpful for you:
    Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
    Overview of HDMI and DVI Connections for PCs
    In the following link, please pay particular attention to the section on Troubleshooting TV setup as a second monitor.
    Using Two or More Monitors with One Computer (Windows 8)
    Other things that could help would be to insure that you have updated all the video and audio related drivers for your notebook. The drivers can normally be found from the product page for your notebook, or from the original chipset manufacturer. I would link that page to this, but I need the exact product/model number to get the right page for you.
    Another thing that could help with drivers is the:  HP Support Assistant as it can automate the driver updates for you.
    Also here are some links to videos on youtube that could be helpful to you. They cover a range of audio related issues, and could be very informative.

  • Audio wont play in preview

    Hi
    I have dropped and dragged a 'aiff' audio file into the preview drop zone audio box, but the audio just wont play during the DVD preview.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Mantas65
    Welcome to apple discussions. Assuming the stop motion button within preview is not currently activated, are both sliders for audio at least half way? There's a slider for the preview that controls audio level and also one within the audio well for the aiff you are planning to use. Let's take an example (as in the photo below of preview within iDvd):
    click here:
    At the foot of the above image, move the slider to the right so you can listen to the current audio for Revolution Main for example. Now drag and drop the desired audio file you wish to replace it with. In the example below I've chosen "Bittersweet Symphony" but you also must make sure the slider in this audio well is not set to its lowest level which iDvd at times will default to. So simply drag the slider to the right half way or higher.
    click here:
    If you have already done both the above steps and you still have no audio, then it's very possible the audio file is corrupted. Try a different audio file to make sure.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • Audio wont play after importing from camcorder

    I import video fine via the camcorder, the audio plays fine while importing but when I went to edit it, the audio track stops playing after about a mintue or two.
    It shows up in the timeline, I have it checked to play, but for some reason it does not play, any ideas why this happens? I extracted a small clip of audio, and it still wont play. Any help is appreciated!

    I'll double check at home the cam is there, I was messing with the settings at one point, new cam but don't think I changed any audio settings, just put it to stereo....

  • A30 audio wont play after XP pro install

    My A30 crashed a few days ago, and I have done a complete format and re-install of XP pro. A number of features did not subsequently work, such as power management, touch pad, and audio. Touch pad and power management have been fixed with the relevant drivers, however, I cannot get any audio to play. Its almost as if the sound card is not being recognised, though the drivers are installed. Am at a complete loss so all help gratefully received

    Hello,
    at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com in the driver download section you will fin the current Realtek sound driver for the A30 series! Try to install it!
    Otherwise you should install the sound driver from the tools & Utilities CD!

  • Audio Wont Play Through Output When Usb Input is Connected

    I have the "MXL Mic Mate" usb mic interface. It works perfectly in GarageBand, once I choose the Output to the Built-in output in preferences.
    However in Logic, when the device is recognized, It can record (pick up the input audio) but the no sound can be heard coming from the output.
    I tried going under the computers preferences and setting the default audio output but no luck.
    Advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you.

    You might need to check the settings in teamspeak.
    What happens if you dont use team speak overlay? does the sound play normally from your headphones?

  • Why can I not get music to play during my main menu?

  • How do you return to main menu at end of movie in iDVD 11?

    I have created a movie in iMovie '11 with chapter markers, and imported it into iDVD 7.1.2 (1158) on an iMac
    running OS X Lion 10.7.2
    The movie imports all chapters with corresponding labels perfectly. I added a chapter at the very beginning of the movie in iMovie, and it shows up fine in iDVD.
    I removed AutoPlay since I want the DVD to play the Main Menu upon inserting it into a DVD player. What I can't figure out is how to make the DVD return to the Main Menu once it finishes playing to the end of the movie. It will automatically go to the Chapters selection menu instead. Is it possible to have it return to the Main Menu?
    In God's Harmony

    It is very possible that your iDVD Project has no Chapter Markers.
    It's possible.  My "project" which included pictures as well as movies was all done in iPhoto as a slide show.  From there I exported the slideshow into iDVD.
    I sort of messed up "I think."  I believe I did the original burn incorrectly-tester #1.  I re-burned another one this afternoon which turned out very well-tester #2.  Think I will stick with the options I used for tester #2 since it was the easiest.
    For "chapters" I will need to do some extensive "how to" reading especially when it comes to iMove.  I used iPhoto since it accepts both photos & movies.  I "think" iMovie only deals with movies?
    Thank you very much for your last post.  It was very helpful. 
    Now onto the iPhoto fourms to learn how to "add" photos & movies to where I want them, not where the computer wants to put them.

  • DVD is autoplaying a chapter/video rather than waiting at main menu

    Encore CS6 on Mac
    Main menu set as First Play with @Stop to hold at that menu.
    I export my DVD and play on my LG connected to my TV. When the DVD autoplays it starts playing one of the videos, and not the first one (happens to be the one in the middle of the grid of choices).
    How do I get it to not autoplay a chapter?
    Thanks

    This is my flowchart. Disc is connected to main menu.
    If I remove 'first play' from main menu then the flowchart disappears, since it doesn't have a path into the disc at that point.

  • Main Menu Audio - Multiple tracks play randomly aka shuffle?

    I've noticed in Inspector that I can at least add more than one track to the menu audio section, but is there any way to designate the music to play on shuffle, so that each time the main menu loads (or each time the disc itself is loaded) that it doesn't always play the same menu audio?
    Thanks!

    jlk apple questions wrote:
    I'll take a crack at this. Is this going to also going to randomize the menu on startup as well, or just after a track is played and ends? (And while on the thought, is this also going to randomize if someone hits "Menu" during the middle of playing a track?)
    Usually it is best ot to start immediately with a menu, something like a track with 5 seconds of black works well, but then send the end jump to the same script. You can also assign the menu command for tracks to jump to the same script. Take a look [here|http://dvdstepbystep.com/trackmarkers.php] (press F3 key to get the general view), and highlight the track and you will see menu commands for the track and each marker in the track. Set the menu to go to the script....

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
