Blurred video & garbled sound on one end of ichat

I have been video chatting with my son for a couple of years with excellent audio/video. I was using a MAC G4 dual 1GHZ tower. I recently switched to an intel mac mini. I also have a mac book pro 17 inch. Ever since switching to my intel macs, my video is blurred and my audio garbled on his end. His video and audio remains excellent on my end. I am using the same isight camera as before. My ichat bandwidth limit is set at 1 Mbps (I have tried other settings with no improvement). I have a comcast cable connection and have tested down (3138) and up (1530) speeds. I am using an airport express but have tried a direct connection to the mini with no improvement. Strangely, My macbook pro A/V using the built-in cam gives the same results exactly. Quicktime streaming is set on 1 Mbps cable. No changes have been made on the distant end. Any ideas on this?

You kind of lost me there. I have nothing even close to your example of HTTP://myip.dk/. My IP address consists of nine digits. I have no problem connecting to the internet. When I am not using ichat, download/upload speeds are what I have had all along regardless of G4 or duo core. While I don't normally do it, I can use both my macbook Pro and my mini connected at the same time and maintain good internet speeds. When either the mini or the mac book pro launches ichat, then internet speeds suffer and ichat video is blurred. My ISP has never been interested in any device beyond my cable modem. I normally use an airport express but direct connection to the cable modem does not change results.

Chatting with video causes garbled audio on one end

I'm having an audio problem when conducting video chats. The audio I'm hearing from my buddy is garbled and echoing during video chats. If we switch to audio only chat, the sound is pristine.
Here's the setup:
Mac Mini/Core solo/ OS X 10.4.8 <------> MBP/C2Duo/ OS X 10.4.10
AUDIO SOUNDS FINE ............................................ AUDIO GARBLED
I've tried switching the video bandwidth from none, to 1.5, to 100k on both machines to no avail. I've also set the Quicktime streaming speed to 1.5Mbps.
Anyone expereince anything like this before?

Thanks for the suggestions Ralph.
I checked the sys prefs>Sound>Input tab, and the microphone level on the Mac mini was cranked up all the way and clearly clipping. I brought the slider down all the way and now the level is peaking about 3/4 of the way across the meter.
For what it's worth the audio only sounds garbled on the MacBook Pro (listening to buddy on Mac Mini). The audio coming FROM the MBP sounds fine on the Mini. I'm actually hearing an echo on the MBP presumably coming from the mini when I talk. It seems as if a noise-gate threshold is set too low. Another point of interest, on the MBP underneath the audio input level slider is a checkbox for Ambient noise reduction. The mini does not have that option.
The camera on the Mini is a Dynex DTCAM, which didn't work at all until they released a new driver this June '07. I believe Apple also made a change to the OS that helped enable USB cams in iChat. In addition, I've also got the iChatUSBCam drivers installed.
Again, and audio-only chat between the MBP & Mini sounds perfect with no echos and no garbling, but as soon as video is introduced the audio quality suffers dramatically with distortion and echos.

RE:CS5: Video and sound are one, how do I seperate them?

I was using two cameras to do my work. One was a canon and the other a nikon. When I imported the canon footage it came in two parts audio and video but when I imported the nikon footage, there was no section of audio, there were both on video.
How do i seperate them? I don't want any of the audio from the video but want to add my own it.

Yes - I think Ann has the answer. Imported files from some Canon cameras will have their audio track come in on Audio 4 while their video comes in on Video 1. Frankly I see this as a bug but I'd love to hear the reason for this 'undocumented feature'.
No its not a bug.
Here is a video explaining why.

IChat 5.0.1 no audio when video chatting (one end only)

Hello,
I have a Early Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66Ghz with OS 10.6.2. iChat version 5.0.1.
I am using a compatible webcam (Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000). I have full video and audio until I start a video chat.
The logitech Quickcam is selected in both the system preferences and the iChat preferences as the audio in source. I get visual feedback that the sound is being heard by the mini in both the system preferences and iChat. Sound-in is working.
We are trying to connect to a iChat 3 user using a iMac Dual Core 2 Duo. I do not remember the CPU speed.
The microphone check is on under the video menu. In the iChat preferences the audio indicator moves showing sound in.
The problem starts after we actually make a video chat connection. I can both see and hear the user on the iMac. However, the iMac user can only see me. As soon as the video connection is made, my sound indicator goes dead (no sound input showing) and the Microphone enabled menu option under the Audio menu is grayed out.
If I close the video chat and start an audio chat only, both ends can hear each other.
This is the same issue when trying to use a intel mac mini 1.5Ghz Core Solo and trying video chat with the iMac Core 2 Duo user. I am not able to verify that both intel Mac Mini's can see and hear each other as we only have one 10.6.2 webcam that works. Our other two only are recognized as a microphone.

Solved the issue on the mac mini 1.66 core duo. Still using the Quickcam 5000, but paired up a bluetooth headset to use as a microphone. That allowed video and audio to be sent from my end. Both parties could hear and see one another. Switched the sound input from the headset back to the Quickcam microphone and it worked. To make sure, I turned off bluetooth. I can now use video chat will video and sound using the Quickcam's built-in mic.

My ipod headphone jack is only allowing sound in one headphone. i tried multiple headphones to make sure it wasn't the headphone but the jack itself. i have a ipod video 5th generation.

Had you brought the same pair of headphones to the Apple Store with you and they worked there? If you hadn't, the wire or plug on those headphones may have failed. Try a different pair if you can and see if those work.
Hope this helps

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble. I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable. Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?

The phono input is for a phonograph. The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output. Does th stero have an AUX input? That should be compatible.

Reports of 17.0.0.169 with garbled sound and vid on rtmp streaming w/jwplayer?

Hello Adobe,
I run a website that uses live streaming rtmp to the jwplayer6 video player. Starting today, some viewers who downloaded Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.169 are getting very garbled sound and video that speeds up/slows down. This is happening on a number of users on various platforms: Win 7, Win 8.1, Linux and various browsers; Firefox, Safari, Opera, and IE (reported so far). Some folks are reporting it happens only on Firefox and not Chrome. Thoughts? How to proceed? We are telling our users, unfortunately, uninstall the latest version of Flash and rollback.

Hi Jeromie,
I'm and end user getting disastrous garbling and speeding via Ustream Streams.One broadcaster I watch was able to almost elimate the issue by reducing the quality of the outgoing content I believe. It would be beneficial if you contacted Ustream yourself so they can notify their subscribers of a work around.

Hi Simon,
I'm really sorry to hear that your event may be impacted. I'd highly recommend that you reach out to Ustream. We would be more than happy to share technical details with them on how to configure the streams to work around the issue. We will have a public beta available for download before your event at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/, but realize that this is a sub-optimal solution.
Ustream employees can send me a private message via the forums (just click my name), and I'll be more than happy to put them in contact with an engineer that can offer guidance.
Thanks,
Jeromie

My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
thanks
-DragonFly

In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

How can i slide a sound track one frame at a time in Pre 10

i do a lot of music videos where i record audio separtly from the video and then sync them and i have a lot of trouble getting them in sync, does anyone have any good tricks to do this? also, can i move said sound track one frame at a time in either direction to help get these tracks to sync up?
Thanks

If you zoom to the max, and watch that little TimeCode box (it pops up, when you begin dragging), just look at the last two digits, as those are the Frames. Even with my clumsy hands and fingers, I can nail the displacement to Frame-accurate standards.
Now, some other NLE's go a step further, in that when the Clip is Selected, one can nudge it along, with modifier keys and the Left-Right Cursor keys. I do not think that has been added to PrE 10, but would be a great Feature Request.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] Well shut my mouth! After you Select the Clip (unlinking with Alt+click, if muxed), just hold down the Alt key, while hitting the Left-Rigt Cursor keys!!!! Forget that Feature Request.

How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

No video or sound from iSight

I have a frustrating problem ! My external iSight camera has stopped working, ever since I moved from a PPC G5 to an Intel Mac Mini. I did actually have it working for a while, but I must have changed something and now nothing I do will get it to work again.
I have tried isolating the problem by removing other Firewire devices - the camera is always correctly recognised no matter where I plug it in; System Profiler shows it as present, and it is shown as available as a video or sound source. The problem is that when I actually try to use it, I just get blank (black) and no sound input.
If I plug the camera into another machine, it is recognised and works OK !
I'm sure this must be a software conflict, but I don't know what with. Console logs just show similar messages from any application that tries to use the camera, saying that it's unable to open the source for input. I'm suspecting that some 3rd party plugin or driver is being loaded and crashing out - perhaps because I migrated over from a non-Intel machine (I did a clean install, and ran the migration assistant).
Any suggestions how to find the culprit ?
Powermac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Phew - got it working, but don't ask me how !!
I did a fresh install onto the internal HD (I already boot from an external one, see below). No dice. So I unplugged everything, and plugged in just the iSight.
I have a LaCie external HD which also works as a Firewire and USB hub. With this unplugged, the camera worked on the fresh install. I then re-plugged in the firewire leads for the hub, and connected the camera to the hub. Rebooted (****, OS X boots fast on a fresh install on the Intel machines !). Still working. Then I plugged in the USB leads for the hub, still working. Which is strange, because that's exactly the configuration in which is WASN'T working a few moments before ! I then rebooted into my original system (on the external FW disk), and it's STILL working.
Now this is really strange, because this is the config in which it really wasn't working before. All I can figure is that somehow connecting via Firewire first, rebooting, and then USB somehow tells the hub to work correctly as a FW hub. But this doesn't make too much sense, because other external HDs I have still worked fine before - it was only the iSight that wasn't working.
The only other thing I can think of is that in the process of doing this, I moved a small plastic photo frame that I have that was sat ontop of the mini. The thing with this frame is that it's 2 bits of perspex held together by magnets. They are only small, but I wonder if there was some interference caused by the tiny magnets that somehow effected the Firewire connection (but only for the iSight ?). Anyway, that's staying off the top of the mini for now !
I'm not sure if this explanation will ever help anyone else, but it does give you an idea how to isolate a problem. What I did was isolate the OS (by doing a fresh install), isolate the hardware (by unplugging it all, and selectively re-plugging it), and isolate apparently unrelated external influences (by removing the picture frame). If you're having strange problems with your computer, be methodical, and you will probably isolate the cause and fix it !

How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

I have just bought the mac. I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder. From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder. The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer. I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

OK, according to
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

Garbled sound

When I play a camtasia training video the sound is garbled .
I cannot hear the instructor.clearly.
What would cause this??
and how do I go about fixing.
Thanks Ken

Camtasia Studio (Techsmith) has a download "SWFMP3FIXER"
which fixes the .swf file, but this is for content authors or if
you've downloaded the full movie folder.
I'm a content author and I'm livid about the results of
Adobe's most recent FlashPlayer update, which has literally broken
the sound on videos that are played from CDs/DVDs and online. It
literally has broken videos that have played normally up until
their Flash Player 9.0.115.0. update!
Why they don't make this a priority to fix (it's been over a
month) I have no idea!
Hundreds if not thousands of content authors have been
affected by this. Some probably aren't even aware of it yet!
DVDs and CDs that have been sold using the html/flash mp3
compression will NO LONGER work. They NEED TO FIX THIS ASAP!

Moving sound from one clip to another?

Can I take the sound from one clip and move it so that it plays during another clip?
In other words, if I have some narration in one clip that would be better in another clip, can I pluck out that sound (narration) and re-locate it so that it plays at the same time another clip (video) is playing?
I know that FCP can do this..you just cut out the sound portion you want and cut/paste it into whereever you want, beneath the visual part of whatever clip you want it to play with.
thanks!

Is it possible to take sound from one clip and put it in another clip?
Yes
