Chapter stops before end of chapter when I add audio

Hi
Basically the problem is, if I have a timeline with several chapters, each chapter being a different m2v file, then I want to add AC3 files for the audio. I have different AC3 files for each chapter.
Before adding the audio the preview works fine, but if I add audio to a chapter then iy abruptly ends just after a few seconds
Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot

Maybe it is just a preview problem. You could burn a
rewritable DVD to test if the final output would be okay.
I don't remember seeing any posts about this problem, but I vaguely recall having seen a thread about an issue with butting AC3 files together in a timeline. Because of the way AC3 files are encoded they aren't necessarily the exact same length as the video. With just one audio and video clip per timeline that doesn't matter. But by stringing AC3 files together you could end up with a sync problem that gets progressively worse.
If at all possible I would suggest to use PCM (.wav) files instead and let Encore handle the conversion to Dolby Digital.

ITunes downloaded movies, sound stops before end of movie.

Sound stops before end of my downloaded iTunes movies. I must stop the movie and start it again to get all the sound.

I am having the same problem and there does not seem to be an answer. How do we get our money back for the rental? It's not the $4 but the principle ... Don't sell a product that does not work.

Don't understand why TimeMachine stops before end of backup

Hello,
I wish I use TimeMachine to backup my computer. When the TimeMachine process starts, the dialog box with the progress bar says "saving xxx/93Mo". However, the backup process stops by itself at 65 Go (!!) and the Console says the data were saved sucessfully ... If I check the data size that have been saved, I see 65 Go used too on the external hard disk. However, as far as I know, TimeMachine does not process any compression ?
I checked the external hard disk used to save datas : it is a Western Digital 750 Go with 2 partitions, the second one (200 Go) being dedicated to TimeMachine. Before every test I did, the 200 Go partition were erased. I saw a Warning at Apple.com about MBR-encoded partitions. My Hard disk uses a GUID encoding (thus not MBR encoding) for the partitions, and each partition is journalised HFS+ formatted ...
I saw also there are problems with spotlight combined with TM, and I inserted the external hard disk in the Spotlight exception list and reboot.
I think, perhaps, TimeMachine dislikes a single file over the whole hard disk ... Is there a way to know at which file the process stops ? Moreover, is there any file-size limit during the backup process ? I use VMWare Fusion 2 and I have a 20 Go file that is the PC's hard-disk ... and this file is not present in the TM Backup ... I saw some old versions of VMWare (<1.1 i think) forced TM not to save the HardDisk, but it does not seems to concern more recent versions ...
Is it simply a TM bug ? should wait for a next version ? or is there something wrong in what I do ?
Best Regards,
Mikhael Myara

Hi, and welcome to the forums. Correct, TM does not do compression.

Corrupted files can cause problems for TM, but it will send error messages to your logs and a Failure message, as it should, rather than just skip the offending item(s). That does not appear to be what's happening here.
Moreover, is there any file-size limit during the backup process ?
No.
I use VMWare Fusion 2 and I have a 20 Go file that is the PC's hard-disk ... and this file is not present in the TM Backup
That file is probably listed in the +Do not back up+ panel of TM Preferences > Options. And you really don't want TM to back it up: since it's a single file to OSX, the smallest change to it will result in TM backing-up the entire file!
If you haven't found the Time Machine Buddy widget as Barry suggested, Click here to download it. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If you're not clear about them, copy and post them here.
Most of what's "missing" is explained by that PC file.
Time Machine automatically excludes some other things, mostly caches, logs, workfiles, trash. These usually aren't significant, but if yours are quite large, it could explain the remaining difference.
From a Finder window, select Go > Go to folder, then type /var/ in the box provided. If it's not in List mode, select View > As List. Then select View > Show View Options, and click the +Calculate all sizes+ box.
See if any of the folders listed, particularly vm and logs, are in the multi-GB range. If so, that may be an indication of a problem, and also a reason for the difference in sizes. If either is very large, click the disclosure triangle to see the contents, and post the names of anything suspiciously large.
Caches are harder to measure, as they're in various places. One quick thing is, if you use Safari, to clear it's cache (Click Safari in the menubar, then +Empty cache+ ). See if that gains a lot of available space.
Of course, all these will only show how much is in use when you check, not when the backup was done. A Restart and/or some of the Mac's normal maintenance routines may reduce them.

IOS 8: Spoken audio or speech stops before end of the file

Hi,
I try to use iTunes Match on my iPhone (iPhone 6 , iOS 8 latest version). Uploaded files like audio books or other spoken files stop about 30 seconds before the file ends. Unfortunately I can't fix the problem. What can I do?
It's the same playing the files from the cloud or playing them after downloading.
It's the same to third party player like écoute.app.
This problem doesn't arise with music files.
Who can help me?

Well, in early iTunes Match days all worked fine with these files. This problem appears since itunes shows the german information "Bestimmung der Information zur unterbrechungsfreien Wiedergabe" (translate.google.de: "Determination of Information for Seamless playback").

Iphone audio stops before end of song...itunes does not

Hello
I'm having an issue on my iPhone 6 with regards to audio not playing all the way to the end of a song. I'm seeing this with tracks that I've purchased, as well as tracks I've ripped from CD.
1. A track will play fine, until about 20-30 seconds before the end of the trqck
2. The audio will stop, but the track will continue to "play" in silence....still displaying the time remaining on the track
3. I can rewind back beyond the point where the silence started, and the audio is fine until it reaches the spot in the track where the silence started
4. Both tracks that had this issue (one purchased from iTunes, and one ripped) play fine on iTunes on my Macbook Air
For the track originally purchased from iTunes, I deleted the song from my iPhone. I re downloaded the track, and I'm still having the same issue - but the track still plays fine in iTunes
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Had the device been older, I would consider that perhaps there is something wrong with the drive- however, it's brand new, and this would not explain the fact that deleted the track and re downloading it introduces the same issue, as it's unlikely it would end up in the exact same spot on the drive
Thanks
Michael

Movie doesn't stop at end of timeline when published.

I am using Premiere Elements 12 on a MacBook Pro. My movie is 32 minutes long, but it exports as 3 hours and 28 minutes long with a lot of black at the end. There is nothing past the 32 minutes on my timeline. The timeline ends where it should and says the duration is 32 minutes. How do I fix this?

You have fragments (leftovers) beyond the end of the Timeline content that you intended.
I am going from an Elements Windows workspace, so please translate into Mac accordingly.
Expand your Timeline content to the maximum with the Zoom Out Zoom In slider above the Timeline.
Press the End key of the computer keyboard. That should take the Timeline Indicator to the fragments which must be deleted.
Explore all the tracks in that area.
Repeat the End key press until the Timeline Indicator stops at the end of the intended Timeline and not some 3 hours afterward.
What you find at "end of track" could be fragments or files that you moved out of the way of the active project and forgot were there.
The fragments typically present as thin vertical black lines scattered about the tracks.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

Title stops before end and jumps to the next title.

What can i do to listen the whole title. Do I have to reload the titles or abum from the store?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

ITunes Song Stops Before End, and iTunes Plays New Song

Hi, I have a problem. Well I played song on iTunes 12, latest version, and, song stopped, and iTunes start playing next song in album.
What I can do to avoid this problem. Thanks

Does the track play in Quicktime Player?
What is the source of the tracks? If the iTunes Store and your country permits re-downloading try deleting the track completely and re-download it from the Store. It may be corrupt.

IMovie HD closes when I add audio

Hi.
I've been using iMovie for a year now without problems. This is my first time using iMovie HD and it won't seem to let me add all of the audio that I want. I've added a voice recording and 2 songs from iTunes, but now every time I try to add more, the program unexpectedly quits. I've used more audio than this w/ the older version, so I don't see why the amount I'm using should be the problem. I'm using a new iMac G5 with plenty of space. Any ideas?
Thanks

When I add to my iTouch playlist is doesn't show up in iTunes

I like to manually manage my music so I dont use the sync option and never have, but for about a year now when I add a song to my playlist on my iTouch and connect it to iTunes it doesn't show up under "on this iPod". It use to bout a year ago, but after one of those updates it just stopped doing it. Also, when I add a song, iTunes updates ALL my songs, videos, apps and it backs it up... EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have over 3000 songs and it become very annoying to wait 10 sometimes 15 minutes just to add a 3mb song. I gave up a decided to sync everything to see if the problem would be solved but, not only did my music get wiped but it tooks hours to add all my music back AND it still wouldn't sync the playlists. Help!!!
PS. I consider myself to have a lot of experience with the iTouch and iTunes, so don't post stuff like: "reset your iTouch" and "re-install iTunes" unless you KNOW it will work.

They will only be on your computer's iTunes if you put them there. If you are in a country where you can re-download music then they should show under the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If they don't show there then you can connect your phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over.

Animating buttons - How to go to another chapter when selected

I am putting together a DVD of soccer highlights. I thought it would be great to have an Animating button for each player with one of the best clips in the button. The problem I can't figure out is when the button is selected for that player it goes to the chapter# from the animation and not the chapter # where the player's highlights start. I thought I could do it with Button Override but there must be something I am missing. Thank you.

Bill,
One Timeline and one chapter for each player.
In previous DVD's I started each chapter with a jersey number that is in a static button.
Rather than start the animation with the jersey number and then the title to a clip (for each game I have a 4 second title with date, team score etc) I would like to have a highlight of their best play in their button.
I have gotten this to work with the first player(by adding two more chapters before the next player's chapter and using this chapter for animation and setting the end action to go to the player's chapter) but when the button is selected things go wrong. The animation that is in the button plays full screen and then jumps to the start of the player's chapter. I could live with this but when I add a second player using this same technique things seem to go wrong. I may of had some overrides that are the culprit.
From what you said what I am trying to do may not be possible but I wanted to give it a try. Thank you.

I loose both sound tracks of the last chapter when burning a movie to a disc in iDVD

I loose both sound tracks in the last chapter when I burn a project to a disc in iDVD. The sound tracks are there if I play the movie in iDVD before burning to disc, but as soon as I try turn burn to disc the original sound track & the sound track imported from iTunes disappears in the majority of the last chapter.
I'am using the latest version of iMovie & IDVD. The project in iDVD is listed as 96 minutes & 3.9GB & I'am using an LG single sided DVD 120 Min 4.7GB
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
May be something here.
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 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

Itunes and Ipod Classic stop before song ends after transfer to new computer

I purchased a new Windows 7 computer and transferred my library from my XP computer.
I restored my library and all seemed well with the world.
I synched my IPod classic 120GB with over 8000 songs.
I was listening to the IPOD on my docking station when I started noticing that songs would just stop before the end of the song.
I thought my 120GB Ipod was dying, so I purchased a new 160GB.
The problem continued.
I then listened to them on the new computer in Itunes and they did not completely stop, they just skipped to the next track at the same place as it froze on my IPOD.
I listened to the same song on my old computer through Itunes and it played correctly.
I have do not have the Itunes Match and the songs that I currently know that have the problem were purchased on Itunes.
Any suggestions as how to resolve the issue?

I would try copying over the tracks from your XP computer again as the files from the first transfer may be corrupted.
