Best way to play Audio only on a DVD with video?

I have a Meditavie DVD i am making with both video and Audio combined....and i want to make some tracks that are just Audio only
for close eye Meditations. ( i dont want to have to add a CD with the DVD for just Audio)
I made one years ago and just used black as the video output track.
Is there a way to save space and just have the audio track play?
And if so how might i do it and also link to the DVD menu?
Thanks for any help!

Below is what I wrong before I tested the obvious. Just "import as timeline" the audio only (make sure there is no m2v with the same name); Encore happily builds a disk with black. Mediinfo shows the video stream, but it appears to be at a very low datarate. So, give it a try. I did not burn a disk; just build to a folder and used a software player.
Other options: Encore slideshows have odd problems, I'd play with making a single slide (just black, right?) slideshow, maybe set to manual advance with no advance - or a very long duration to match the audio length.
If an m2v works better for whatever reason, Encore has a minimum bitrate, I think around 2.x or 1.x. So I would try exporting from Premiere,10 seconds of black video using CBR 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and see if it matters.

Best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format?

Hi guys, whats the best way to play audio in 24bit 48Khz WAV format through FF? The format cannot be changed and the files are local. I was hoping the HTML5 audio tag would play it but it seems to be limited to 16bit. Is that correct? Whats the best way to get sound playing quickly?

Which media player plugins do you have?
Plugins like RealPlayer and Windows Media Player and QuickTime should be able to play such files if the player can play them if you open the files directly in the player.
Does it work if you open the file via the location bar?
I only have 16 bit 44kHz files, so can't test, but opening such a file via the location bar works.

(workflow question) - What is the best way to handle audio in a large Premiere project?

Hey all,
This might probably be suitable for any version of Premiere, but just in case, I use CS4 (Master Collection)
I am wrestling in my brain about the best way to handle audio in my project to cut down on the time I am working on it.
This project I just finished was a 10 minute video for a customer shot on miniDV (HVX-200) cut down from 3 hours of tape.
I edited my whole project down to what looked good, and then I decided I needed to clean up all the Audio using Soundbooth, So I had to go in clip by clip, using the Edit in SoundBooth --> Render and Replace method on every clip. I couldn't find a way to batch edit any audio in Soundbooth.
For every clip, I performed similar actions---
1) both tracks of audio were recorded with 2 different microphones (2 mono tracks), so I needed only audio from 1 track - I used SB to cut and paste the good track over the other track.
2) amplified the audio
3) cleaned up the background noise with the noise filter
I am sure there has to be a better workflow option than what I just did (going clip by clip), Can someone give me some advice on how best to handle audio in a situation like this?
Should I have just rendered out new audio for the whole tape I was using, and then edit from that?
Should I have rendered out the audio after I edited the clips into one long track and performed the actions I needed on it? or something entirely different? It was a very slow, tedious process.
Thanks,
Aza

Hi, Aza.
Given that my background is audio and I'm just coming into the brave new world of visual bits and bytes, I would second Hunt's recommendation regarding exporting the entire video's audio as one wav file, working on it, and then reimporting. I do this as one of the last stages, when I know I have the editing done, with an ear towards consistency from beginning to end.
One of the benefits of this approach is that you can manage all audio in the same context. For example, if you want to normalize, compress or limit your audio, doing it a clip at a time will make it difficult for you to match levels consistently or find a compression setting that works smoothly across the board. It's likely that there will instead be subtle or obvious differences between each clip you worked on.
When all your audio is in one file you can, for instance, look at the entire wave form, see that limiting to -6 db would trim off most of the unnecessary peaks, triim it down, and then normalize it all. You may still have to do some tweaking here and there, but it gets you much farther down the road, much more easily.Same goes for reverb, EQ or other effects where you want the same feel throughout the entire video.
Hope this helps,
Chris

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Best way to handle audio and video?

Can someone give me suggestions on best way to handle audio and video clips. 2 issues:
Audio- I want to avoid problems for visitors who may need to install something to listen, and would like them to be able to remain viewing page while listening. I understand how to set up the Iweb player option, and I understand how to simply link to a mp3 file that relies on the visitors player. I'm thinking I need to "embed a player" (?) which is something I haven't dealt with yet.
Video- I have a link to a .mov file. It plays it in either a real small box, or if you enlarge it , the image deteriorates. Is there a better way to handle this?

Yes that should work for what you want.

Best way to rearrange audio slices?

What's the best way to move audio slices around? Is there a simple way to do that using flex time that I haven't discovered yet? I usually do alot of snare replacing on live drums, taking one hit where the drummer hit hard, and pasting it in to replace weaker hits. There doesn't seem to be a way to grab a flex slice with the mouse and move it around ...
I've used the new drum replacement feature on L9 and it works well, but was wondering if flex audio offers a better, more elegant way to move slices around other that just cutting and pasting them the "old fashioned" way.
Thanks

Greetings,
You could always try to convert your loop into an EXS24 instrument and move the midi notes around. I can totally see what you mean though. It would be nice to simply re-order or replace the slices right on the arrange window. As for converting to EXS, the transients don't quite read as nice as I would like them to, so converting might still be a little unfriendly.
I still do it the "older" fashion way, by opening ReCycle 2.1 (its 2010 and still Rosetta) slicing my loop and importing into Logic. Only there can you rearrange at will within the imported folder that's created once you imported the REX. On the upside, you get complete control of your transients along with ReCycle's stretch algorithm.
I second the ability to rearrange flex (slice) transients directly on the arrange window.
Hey, it could happen. Crazier things have.
Cheers

Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

The best way to play blu ray discs/movies UP TO DATE

I am a huge TLOTR fan (lol) and up until recently I thought the quality of the movie i have(in digital form) was decent or even great, I recently bought a 15" inch macbook pro(2.2ghz)-- my first apple computer--- and when I played the same exact movie, the quality just looked terrible, in fact every digital movie I own doesn't look as stunning or high quality I thought it was. I'm slowly upgrading my movie library to a better quality one and the first thing I have to have is "the lord of the rings" trilogy(extended version) , so I guess the closest i can get to high picture quality is by buying those blu ray discs, one problem: how do I play blu ray on my macbook pro and will I experience a better quality than those normal DVDs.
According to your experience with blu ray, which is the best way to play blu ray discs on a macbook? ( please provide steps or pointers since I'm new at this)
Also, any alternative suggestions to be able to watch the movie in high quality is welcome, i just thought blu ray was the closest thing to perfect quality. Keep in mind i can't buy from itunes since I don't own a credit card.
TL;DR : I need to play blu ray disc movies on my 15"macbook pro 2011, what's the best way to go about this to get as close to full quality as possible. Also, would it make any difference if I bought blu ray disks versus the conventional DVDs (regarding movie quality)? Since the screen resolution of the 15" pro is not enough to experience "full HD quality"?

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

Here's some more info.
I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
Any thoughts?

Hello again,
I went and checked PDF document properties. The document was created by an application called (3B2 Total Publishing). It's the application that the printing press used to creat the PDF file. Unfortunately I don't have the source document and the printing press claim they don't have any source files but used in-house applicatin to create the PDF book.
I checked fonts used in the PDF file and I found 17 fonts named T1 to T17 and all (Type 3) fonts. I'm seasoned IT engineer but no experience in publishing. So, no idea whether or not this information is usefull to find a way to publish these books in epub.
Cheers,
Abdul
