Chapter allocation is out of sync after burning to DVD or ISO

Hi,
I have a menu with links to chapter points. When I run the menu preview everything works fine. But after I export the project to an .iso file (or to DVD) and play the DVD, a mysterious extra chapter point was created during the export and the last chapter was removed. This puts all the buttons out of sync.
I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that I'm burning a dual layer DVD as I've never encountered this problem before with single layer DVD's... but this is just a hunch.
A couple of facts:
* The problem persists on both DVD players I tested it on.
* This phantom chapter is added to the main timeline somewhere close to 1/3 of the way. The timeline is 2hrs 10 mins long.
* The final size of the ISO is 7.8 GB. When I remove the transcodes and compile a smaller version (viz. 4.7 GB) (still dual layer) the problem disappears and the buttons are in sync, but of course the quality of the picture is not satisfactory.
* I'm at my wits' end.
Please help.

With a DL title and a single timeline a chapter point at the start of the second layer is unavoidable. If Encore can't find an existing chapter marker in the window it has to put in the layer break, it is forced to create a new one.
As for the overrides: While there is nothing wrong with the override option by itself, it is quite easy to lose track of what is going on in your project when using overrides. A safer and easier option would be to create a
playlist.

Chapter points get out of sync while burned to DVD

In the timeline I had to trim an mpeg file for 12 seconds. Later on I added chapters. In the preview everything works fine, but when burned to a DVD, the chapter points get out of sync more and more. At the end it's about 30 seconds on a film of 60 minutes. Even the film stops 30 seconds earlier.
What is going wrong here?
Han Bouman

Yes! This is indeed true; I just noticed this today. It doesn't appear to have any actual affect on the DVD. The first chapter starts out right at 0:00 but by the end, it's off (as compared to the project file) by mannnnnnny seconds. Why does this happen?

Voice and Video out of sync after burn in iDVD

We are having trouble keeping the voices and movement together after a burn. Can anyone give us a suggestion?

Barbara and Amy
You may have experienced what many of us have encountered. Cameras are usually set to record in 12 bit audio. When these recordings reach iMovie they edit and play fine but when they go on iDVD the sound is out of sync.
Switch your camera to 16-bit in future to prevent/minimise the effect.
You should also look at a couple of apple pages http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42974 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61636
Also there is some good information on

Mac OS X partition ("Macintosh HD") gets out of sync after hibernation

Hello,
I have a first-generation Unibody 15" MacBook Pro. I run Mac OS X Lion and Windows XP Profession 32-bit through Boot Camp on it.
I notice that the Mac OS X partition gets out of sync after I hibernate in Windows XP, reboot into Mac OS X Lion, restart and resume Windows XP. Certain folders would remain visible in Windows Explorer but become inaccessible, while some folders that I just created in Mac OS X would not even show up.
Is there a way to tell Windows XP to "remount" the HFS+ partition?
Steps to reproduce:
Boot into Windows XP;
Hibernate Windows XP;
Boot into Mac OS X;
Pick a folder and change something in it;
Create a new folder;
Reboot and resume Windows XP;
Open "Windows Explorer";
Try to access the folders you just meddled with.

Don't hibernate, shut XP down when you reboot and the issue goes away, you really should consider using a more modern operating system.

Hi we setup ISE in our lab. We have 2 PSN registered but one of the node is out of sync after I upgraded form 1.1 to 1.2

Hi we setup ISE in our lab. We have 2 PSN registered but one of the node is out of sync after I upgraded form 1.1 to 1.2

For out of sync issues, which most likely are due to time changes or NTP sync issues, you must correct the system time and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
For certificate expiry issues, you must install a valid certificate and perform a manual sync up through the UI.
For a node that has been down for more than six hours, you must restart the node, check for connectivity issues, and perform a manual sync up through the UI.

My audio goes out of sync after import

I have a bunch of masters of 1h documentaries that I've done using Adobe Premiere CS6. I've exported the masters using exactly the same specs:
Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ), 23.98fps, 1920x1080p, 48kHz, 16b, PCM audio.
I have to do some changes on the masters of these shows. They all play fine on several players like VLC, Quicktime, Mpeg Streamclip, etc. However after I import the masters into Premiere Pro CC, 3 out of 10 shows get the audio gradually out of sync, even on the source monitor before I put them on a timeline. The behaviour continues even after I place them on a timeline.
The project settings are the same as the masters and so are the sequence settings. I've tried to recreate the project, delete and re-import, duplicate the file and import that, and no matter what I do the same 3 masters go out of sync after the import.
I've tried to find a solution in many forums and despite noticing that several people have the same issue, no one has a valid solution for my problem.
I cannot go back to CS6 since my company updated their systems to CS7 so I can't even cross check.
Any suggestion will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance peeps.

Couple of suggestions.
First, rather than opening the Master export, go back to the original project. That should open fine in CC.
Second, with a CC subscription, you do have access to the full CS6 suite.

A portion of audio that is synced in iMovie, is out of sync when burned with iDVD. How can I avoid this?

I'm trying to burn a simple movie, using iMovie and finishing in iDVD. A portion of the audio is out of sync when burned, despite it being in sync in iMovie. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to - Save as a DiskImage - then test this with Apple DVD-tool.
Does this play OK - burn this DiskImage by using Disk Util tool.
Set down burn speed to x2 or 4

Audio out of sync after exporting into Quicktime using current settings.

Quicktime file has audio out of sync when I export to quicktime movie using current settings.
Ok for about the first few minutes then, out of sync after about 10 minutes.
I shot the footage on tape with my Sony HVR-Z7u.
My Sequence setting is the same as the format of the footage as shown below.
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Editing Time base: 23.98
Quicktime video settings: Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Settings: Rate 48 KHz
Depth: 16bit
Clip format:
Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD 1440x1080
Vid Rate: 23.98
Compressor: HDV 1080p24
Audio Rate 48 KHz
Audio Format: 16bit

I recently moved and both of my editing machines were unplugged for a couple of days until I could get them set up. After turning them back on, the problem had disappeared. Perhaps leaving the system unplugged had allowed some of the internal components to reset? That's the only thing I can think of. At any rate, the issue is gone.

After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play?

Adobe Premier 11 - After burning a DVD one or more of the scenes wont play, the scene is showing and highlights but wont play...this has only recently just started to happen. I thought it may have been the physical DVD disk issue, but have tried others and same thing is occuring?

Does iTunes let you burn CDs even though you have installed iTunes 8? There are many users - me included - who have lost the ability to burn CDs after we installed iTunes 8. I am curious to learn what may be different about your settings versus those of us who are being adversely impacted. Do you know what the UpperFilters and LowerFilters are in your registry for disc burning?
Thank you.

Slideshow shaking after burning to DVD

I have created a DVD containing a video and a slideshow. After burning the DVD and dropping it into my DVD player (actually two different DVD players -- different ages / brands), I notice that while the video is steady and plays fine, I am getting shaking of slides in the slideshow. The shaking is slight, but very noticable. In fact, at times the shaking looks more like a slight bounce (up and down) of the slide, almost evenly spaced in time (i.e. every slide gets a slight bounce). I have tried burning another DVD (burn another), and now I'm starting the burning process from the beginning, so that the rendering can happen again.
I am burning off my Powerbook's superdrive. Has anyone experienced this, and/or do you have any ideas why this might be happening?
Brad

TV - let's talk NTSC - sends one frame of information every 1/30 sec. To minimize flicker, each frame contains two fields of information that are interlaced and transmitted at 1/60 sec. In a moving image this eliminates the 1/30 sec flicker. You will see the interlacing when you make a screen capture of a video image with motion - items in motion will appear as 'teeth on a comb' because the two fields are time separated by 1/60 sec.
Now lets talk your still images. Lets say each image is displayed on your TV screen for 10 seconds. During that ten seconds, your screen is constantly switching back and forth between two separate field images. Every 1/30 sec a field (lets call it the even field) is displayed followed by a different field (lets call it the odd field) 1/60 sec later.
Keep in mind these two fields each represent 1/2 of your original image - or every other line of your image (that's why they are said to be interlaced).
If there in no fine detail, the even and odd fields will be the same - but if there IS fine detail, the two fields will be slightly different. Since they are slightly different (not noticable in area without shap detail) the eye will detect the flicker on a TV set that has interlacing. A computer display (usually) is not an interlaced display, so there is no flicker.
Note that THIS IS NOT A FAULT of iDVD! It's one of the problems of a system like NTSC video that uses interlaced video fields.
I had suggested slightly blurring your image - the point is to make the even and odd fields exactly the same so there will be no flicker.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - it is possible to have a still image that is too sharp on a DVD!
Note that if you eliminate the flicker on a TV set, the image will look slight soft on a computer monitor. Which is important to you - a TV set or a computer monitor?
very strange.
No, it's not strange when you understand what's going on, is it?
BTW, digital images taken in low light level conditions can have lots of noise (that looks like film grain). This noise can REALLY make a TV image shimmer because there are major differences between the even and odd fields.

Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Chris

The problem:

(Scroll down about two thirds to "What's the difference between locked and unlocked audio?" )
The solution:
Always use 16-bit/48kHz audio.

Sound out of sync when burning a movie on The Mac.

I'm buring an AVI. movie just by right clicking and selecting burn the file to disc option and when I play the DVD on a seperate DVD player afte about 5 miniutes of film the sound is seconds out of sync from the actual movie, can anyone advise me?
Thanks

The best solution would be to use a DV capture utility and then import the resulting file(s) into final cut.
Aplle itself offers capture utilities, which can be found in the Developer Firewire SDK:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305924
You need a free Developer account and to download the SDK there. After installation you will find a new folder on your harddrive called "Developer"
There are several capture utilities in the program section of the SDK. You want to use the one called "VirtualDV". It´s very simple, but powerful though. It does capture without sync loss, compared to capturing via the Quicktime framework, like Final Cut and iMovie do. It simply grabs the raw DV stream coming from the Firewire interface.
After the capturing you have a Quicktime readable raw DV file, which easily can be imported to be worked with in any DV capable software.

Audio and video out of sync after import

I'm trying to bring some H.264 video into a Premiere project. But when I place it in a sequence (a sequence that is created based upon this very clip), the audio and video are about a second out of sync. (It's also odd: no amount of adjustment will bring them in sync. Seemingly the video is running at some variable rate that makes synchronization impossible...?)
As a test, I tried bringing my video into iMovie, and it works just fine there. But I don't want to use iMovie: I want to use Premiere.
Any ideas?

Thanks. Here's the output:

Audio and video out of sync after exporting sequence

I'm a FCP user since years, but not so common with HD footage. Therefore I have an issue with my finished edited movie after exporting: Video and Audio are out of sync.
My sequence settings are: HDV1080i50, 25fps, 48kHz, 16bit, Stereo. I used File-> Export-> Quicktime Movie -> Current Settings
Sequence has a duration of 61 minutes and 38 sec. I tried to find out where's the problem and exported audio and video seperated. This results in:
Video is 61 minutes and 27 sec long
Audio is 61 minutes and 38 sec long
That means exported video is shorter than original sequence.
What could that be ?

I had the same problem with a Panasonic camera, even filming at 30 fps. I was able to fix it; see [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1783029&tstart=0]. It's a frustating problem, to be sure. You might have to use Easy Setup a couple times before you get things to work properly. Not sure why that's the case.
Good luck!
