Burned DVD loses audio near the end.

I am running IMovie 11, IDVD 7.12 on an IMac 2.7 Ghz i5 OS 10.8.2. I worked for about two months creating an IMovie that covers my family's entire seventeen day trip to Greece and Istanbul. It has a lot of title slides that explain in detail what we saw. I purchased copious amounts of Greek and Turkish music and appropriate sound effects. The Movie is about 150 minutes long. I previewed I Movie and it worked great. I transferred to IDVD by using share IDVD. I chose Professional Quality and wide screen, NTSC and Dual layer disc. The DVD preview worked great, however after burning the disc there were two problems. First, the intro theme with drop zones and scene selections failed to appear. I suspect that was because there was something on the initial menu tile in the map. I suspect that created an autoplay but won't know until I burn another copy. Does that make sense to you?
Second, at about the 130th minute all of the audio was muted. Pictures and video footage were there also all of the title slides but no audio. I called Apple Support and since I am still qualified under Apple Care they agreed to help. First attempt was to delete the previous encoding and re-burn. that took three hours but the disc had the same problems. (At that time, neither myself not the apple tech thought about the autoplay feature, as I was most concerened about the audio problem.) After that disc failed again I called Apple Support again. This time we cleared out the autoplay function, trashed the two preference files for IDVD in the preferences folder and shutdown the computer. I started it back up by zapping the parameter ram. Option, Command, P and R buttons on start-up. I am currently re-encoding and reburning another dual layer disc. If this doesn't work, could the problem be the size of the project? Is there any way that I can take my IMovie project and split it into two sections of about an hour and fifteen minutes each then burn them through IDVD to two different discs? If this would work please tell me how to make a copy of my IMovie project and how I can split it in two. Also any other ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Hi
Can it be so that You use DL-DVDs ? They can be problematic - I only use SL-DVDs
Else
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser (iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as MEDIUM (or ev. as Large)
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Burned DVD loses Audio while playing

So i have tried to Burn a movie twice using both High Quality and Professional Quality performance to do it. The movie will play (theres no slide shows or pics or anything) for a while just fine, and then about 10 minutes in the sound disappears for the rest of the movie (and its two hours long!). When I play it in IDVD preview it plays just fine, same with the actual file playing in quick time, so its not my file thats messed up. I have no idea how to fix this. Any clues?

First, are you using music purchased from iTunes? If so, you should take these preliminary steps.
1. Burn the music in question to a CD.
2. Reimport the music as an AIFF file. iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using: (drop down menu) AIFF encoder
3. This music can now be imported into your project.
Before you burn a DVD, you should first create a disk image. In iDVD, go to File>Save as disk image. Doing so will allow you to view your project on your computer's DVD player. You will be able view your project exactly how it will play once burned to disk. That enables you to find and correct any errors before burning a disk.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.

Making a DVD that stops at the end

I want to make a straight DVD that stops at the end. Is it possible to do this without using DVDSP? I have exported the files using compressor and burn them in Roxio's Toast, but they will just keep looping. I am on the verge of having to get Final Cut Studio upgrade if there is no other way to do this.
Just to recap. I want to put one movie on one DVD without menus. I want it to play once and then the DVD to stop.
Thanks for any help
PS didn't know where else to put this post.

Thanks for all replies. There are options I see.
In response to last post, I agree that setting jump at end to stop might not always work in 1.5. The full story is that most of my test discs seem to play as I wanted them in Apple's DVD player but not once imported into Toast and saved as disc image. I tried the burning disc in Finder option and this was the only way that seemed to produce the stop at end effect I required. Yet my discs were freezing and crashing in both my 3rd party DVD players and I thought this was down to me burning it using the Finder.
I've since found out that it may be that the bitrate was too high when I encoded the video that was the reason for the crashing. It's the first time I've tried to do this seriously so I'm having to learn. It can be a bit confusing.
Thanks again for help.

Reformatting External Hard drive: Disk Utility crashes near the end

I recently updated to Leopard and emptied off my external hard drive and then wanted to (zero out data &) reformat it and start fresh so as to use it with the new Time Machine feature.
However, near the end of reformatting it with Disk Utility the progress just stopped and after giving it some time I did a force quit and sure enough it came to light that it had crashed. Since then I've tried again several times to the same result. I even tried doing it of the Disk Utility on the install CD and it crashed with one minute left!!
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!

Use a more powerful utility such as DiskWarrior, or a product such as those listed here.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 - Missing audio at the end of clips?

I'm running AME CS4 in conjunction with a Matrox H.264 accelerator card for MP4 encoding. Source material is .m2t and output is 720p as per YouTube spec.
I've been noticing recently that every other encoding job will chop a second or two of the audio from the end of the clip. ie. The audio will be fine until the last second or two of the clip, which is completely missing.
I'm lost when trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting. On a side note, I have noticed the same behaviour when transcoding .m2t files within Encore, which was part of the production bundle.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I cannot guarantee that it is not a software issue. Sometimes Matrox is an easy "target." However, with several other Matrox users having similar issues, it does seem that Matrox might be the common element.
One of the issues with troubleshooting Matrox issues with PrPro is that few of the normal responders here have Matrox. Many tried the cards, and most unplugged them for various reasons. Some, like me, have never used them. That kind of limits the responses here, unless a Matrox-user, who has addressed such issues successfully, drops by with some tips.
Good luck, and please update the thread, especially if you do get a "fix." Others will benefit, and I will learn something new!

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. Any solutions?

I have tried to download a movie via iTunes. Every time the download nears the end, it stops and restarts from the beginning. This has happened 5 times. How can I clear the download or solve this?

If it is a HD movie, it may not be enough. The iPad also need working space.
Try download to iTune (computer) and "Move" to iPad.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part I get no indication on ipod of download

When using Overdrive Media to down load a book from the library it starts ok but stops near the end of the first part. I get no indication on the ipod of the book downloading. Is this a operating error or posable failure of the I pod.?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

Thanks LN.
I tried. It would not download. A drop down notice said an error had occurred and to return to the purchase page; which I have done on numerous occasions. (What I am to do on the purchase page I am not sure, other than to click on purchases and see that the same iPhoto download is available. By the way, this was not purchased. It just showed up with two other items free items, which did download nicely.)

Merging iPhoto libraries...Aperture stalls near the end

that about says it all, trying to merge two iPhoto libraries into one Aperture library.
First off one empty Aperture library, import one iPhoto library, stalls near the end and have to FQ.
Try to import and merge the second library, same stall and have to FQ.
Any ideas....totally new to Aperture.
Using latest versions of Aperture and iPhoto.

update: second time around with merging libraries, it went to the end. But now I have the one library contained thousands of duplicates!

When installing iMS 5.1 I get the following fatal JRE error near the end of the installation:

When installing iMS 5.1 I get the following fatal JRE error near the end of the installation:

The IMS installer currently hardcodes the path to a JRE that it wants to run. This JRE is the one that is included in the kit, so you <i>must</i> install the JRE that comes with it.
The only way around this is to use the embedded JRE during installation and not to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Check if you have it defined by issuing the command 'echo $JAVA_HOME'.
