Creating video with 5.1 + stereo with .wav stems in CS6

First of all, let me start with the fact that I'm a switcher from Final Cut Studio to Production Suite, so I'm not sure if I'm just not looking at this problem correctly. I have a finished film, and have received 5.1 audio stems (5 surround channels plus a LFE channel)and stereo master stems for broadcast. I need to create a finished file that has both the 5.1 audio attached and the stereo master. In FCP, I could set the audio to output 8 channels of audio, which I could then assign using QuickTime Pro 7. Can anyone suggest a workflow using CS6 Production? I'm trying to get away from the Apple product because I expect that sooner or later, new OS's won't support the old software.
Thanks in advance

Bill, close, but not really what I need to do - I have 8 mono .wav files, each represents a fully mixed down channel of 5.1 surround AND stereo, which is how the broadcaster expects to receive the file. What I need to be able to output is a video file that contains the 5.1 surround and stereo in the same file - not a mixdown of the combined files. Again, I'm sure there's something obvious I'm not seeing, but the output mapping only seems to be hardware based, and doesn't apply to file output.
I can get multichannel output, but there doesn't seem to be a method to assign those tracks as L, C, R, Ls, Rs,LF,Lt and Rt. Currently I have to do that in QuickTime Pro 7 (a discontinued product). I'm trying to figure out if I can do this inside of the Adobe Suite, or if I am going to need to look for third party solutions for this, as we have to supply media in this format on a regular basis.

Ingested videos not playing in stereo with Quicktime or after exporting with compressor

Why does it seem like every time I try to do something just mildly complex I'm stymied by some bug or problem with the software?
Here's the deal:
0) I have footage was shot with a stereo camcorder, a JVC GR-DV3000 (circa 2003), with built-in stereo mics.
1) I ingest the footage from the Mini DV tape and save it to a camera archive using Final Cut Pro X (latest version).
2) I use Final Cut Pro to pull the events out of archive.
3) When the events are played from within Final Cut Pro X, I hear strereo and audio meters indicate the audio is in stereo (left and right channels have different volume levels).
4) When the events are played with the open source software, VLC, I hear stereo, too.
5) When I export the files for playing on an Apple device using Final Cut Pro, the audio is in stereo as you would expect.
BUT:
5) When I play the event clips with QuickTime from my hard drive after step 2 above, I get no audio from the right channel. Weird, right?
But most annoying of all:
6) When I use Compressor 4 (instead of Final Cut) to output the event clips to "SD for Apple Devices" using the default audio settings, I get no audio from the right channel, either.
7) I've got hundreds, if not thousands, of clips. I'm not about to save each clip manually with FCPX. I need to batch convert these files with Compressor.
8) I've tried various combinations of the audio import settings ("Analyze and fix audio problems," "Separate mono and group stereo audio," and "Remove silent channels." These options have not solved the issue for me. The clips still play in mono in QuickTime.
When I look at the properties of the file in QuickTime, here's what it shows:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Left
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Why it's telling me the other 3 channels are unused, I have no idea. As I mentioned, the footage was shot in stereo and even Final Cut plays it in stereo.
Here's what VLC says about the very same file:
Stream 0:
Type: Audio
Codec:PCM S16 LE (sowt)
Channels: Mono
Sample Rate: 32000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16

If anyone can point in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it.

I ended up just using iMovie to capture video from the camera. The clips now play in stereo in QuickTime perfectly.
It's interesting to note that iMovie saves the clips as .dv file types, not .mov file types like FCPX does.
And it turns out the iMovie capture is *much* smoother. It actually "just works." Ingesting tapes with FCPX, I had to cross my fingers, spin on my head and pray three times to a statue of Steve Jobs before it would work (and even then it would do weird stuff).
The only downside of using iMovie is that it doesn't have the camera archive feature.
I really don't understand why, with $120 billion in the bank, Apple seems to be churning out software as an afterthought. No, software is not where they make their money, but they are ruining their reputation. Ah, well, first world problems.

IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
Please Help.

I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

Is there a way to create videos 'fast' with adobe products?

I am an affiliate marketer. I have produced a video Inspro Program: personal development planned and achieved - YouTube and I would like to know if there are ways to create videos within maybe 10 minutes with Adobe products. Please suggest a quick method.

Turnaround times ultimately depend on the skill of the person doing the work just as much as the programs' capabilities. And 10 minutes for editing a video? That's just ridiculous. Importing/ exporting footage or tweaking voice-over audio alone could take longer as could replacing/ re-typing text.

HOW TO CREATE VIDEO DVD WITH ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER

I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there
Thanks

Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

HI,
I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
Thanks very much,
Jamie Dolan

Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Why is my iPod touch not working with my car stereo after the update?

I updated to iOS 6 and now my iPod will not play when I plug into my car stereo with the USB port and cable. I am very frustrated!

You can try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
However, sometime an iOS update breaks compatibility. If that is the case you will have to wait for either the car manufacturer or Apple to issue a an update to correct the problem.

Belkin tunetalk stereo with classic?

I am having a weird problem with Belikin Tunetalk stereo & IPOD classics.
I've asked Belkin & Apple & had nothing useful.
Anyone add anything?
background:
Been using Belkin tunetalk stereos (2) with 2 Ipod 5G (video) for more than a year. They work ok: [given the well know issues of harddrive noise picked up with internal microphones.] Anyway works for me, recording signals.
Two modes available: "low" 22050 MONO & "high" 44100 Stereo
I always want the "high" 44.1 k samples per second & two channel as I record multi-channels with multiple IPODS (not always sounds)
Had an ipod die on me, so upgraded to classics.
Recorded away, got nothing but 44100 MONO. Not supposed to be able to do this mode & since I was recording TWO channels, I lost data. Belkin site says for classics only with the lastest software".
I've reflashed the ipods multiple times I one ipod records only mono (BLACK), the other (SILVER) records about 1 in 10 mono. Of course you can't tell till you're done whether you're going to get mono or stereo!
(1) Any one know if I go buy TWO MORE ipods, eg nanos, will these things actually work?
Alternatively, anyone know enough about these things to answer any;
(2) Does the tunetalk have firmware? Could it be a Belkin problem?
(3) Any way to get Apple to acknowledge the problem? So maybe a fix comes out?
(4) Should I go hunting for 2nd hand 5G ipods?
(5) Any material difference between class black & classic silver that might account for them both starting out 44.1 MONO & after reflashing * 5, one recording only mono & the other recording randomly 44.1 stereo or 44.1 MONO?
(6) Any difference between shift-update & shift-restore in iTunes to provide a firmware file?
(7) Any explanation of the flake-i-ness why flashing multiple times is needed & ?
(8) ANyone seen this issue & on "high" setting, worked out what triggers 44.1 MONO & 44.1 Stereo? If I can play with it enough to just get it to always do stereo anyway then it becomes painful, but workable.
(9) Anyone seen mention of similar anywhere?
(10) Any hints?
Please not the "check you have latest software", "upgrade the firmware", thanks, helpful, but been there!

I had a 30G video iPod which worked perfectly with the TuneTalk Stereo mic. When I bought the 160G classic, there was no voice memo software. Then the software was added on an automatic update, and I used it without a problem until May and June. I teach privately and had my year-end recitals yesterday and was VERY disappointed to find that the second recital did not record, even though at the time it looked like it was recording. The time is there, just no sound. They must have done something to cause that in the last software update, since I am not the only one that it happened to. I even charged it in between programs.

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for use with Amazon Cloudfront

I am working on a soultion for my website to deploy Falsh encoded videos from the Amazon Cloudfront using Flash Streaming Video Server 3.5 and the JW Falsh Player (www.longtailvideo.com).
I am NOT a code person but here is what I am trying to accomplish. I hope I am in the correct forum! If not, I apologize.
I have several videos a week that I edit and can save in different kbps versions for Dynamic Bitrate streaming through the JW Player. My problem is creating the XML or SMIL playlist to initiate the bitrate switching. I would like to find an authoring tool or someway to generate the required file in a fairly easy manner as I am more videographer/editor that code warrior.
I would also like to have a playlist of other available videos associated with any given video that could be delivered with the Dynamic Bitrate Switching feature. Example: a lawyer that specializes in several different fields of law and would like to have 5 videos, one for each area of specialization, delivered to clients with high bandwidth and clients on mobile devices and everyone in between!
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4?

What video codecs can be used with Premiere CS4? Or are there to many to list? I'm looking for a solution to import a .AVI file created with a H.264 codec.

PrPro can work with so very many, but certainly not all. Some, like DivX will work for Export, but I have never gotten good Import of that material - always something wrong somewhere.
For H.264, there are three very popular versions: Apple, Lead and MainConcept. The Apple version installs with later versions of QT Player, the other two are available, and many users like them better. They solve some H.264 problems, mainly with Export.
For a bit of background, you might find this ARTICLE useful.
Good luck,

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create a DVD pal without menu with the program iDVD from a .mov file. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

Update: Found Waveburner, 10 minutes later, created 4 song CD as wanted (with timed pauses inserted, normalized, as needed, etc). A cool tool. Who do I thank? Thank all of you. Sorry if I failed to award "points" properly. You know who you are!

Update: Found Waveburner (had to download Logic... again), 10 minutes later, created 4 song CD as wanted (with timed pauses inserted, normalized, as needed, etc).

Who do I thank?
Thanks to all of you.
Sorry if I failed to award "points" properly.
You know who you are!
I'll be better next time. I won't use space for messages like this (only questions).

I have a few co-writes I get mailbox money for (enough $ to remind me that I am a "song" writer).
I am a visual artist for the most part.
What I am working on musically, primarily, are longer-playing instrumental pieces. Today I'm working on mix of one for my new website (it will accompany a video that was shot and edited by an award-winner...). So music will play when my art video is playing.
Some of my paintings (cropped) can be seen on my user profile. The art will give you an idea as to the music, perhaps?
I am looking forward to using Logic for adding my music to films of my visual art I shoot, but that is another day. (Hopefully any software I need will be easily found, then!)
Can I hear your music online?
