DVD Audio Need Help

Help Please,
I'll just cut to the chase... I do not get audio off my dvd's. I get the video and can watch them but without any sound. I have the Diamond Plus board and am just running the Audigy. I downloaded all firmware for dvd drives, have one with digital enabled and one without (neither work), its not a muting/volume issue... Have been searching forums of MSI and Audigy have seen a few similar problems but never have been able to find answer to them. Looked at Plextor's (the manufacturer of both dvd -+r/rw) help site, very lacking area to be honest. Please give thoughts/ideas as they would be greatly appreciated... Im out of them
Thanks for your time

i just installed the dvd decoder off my old nvidia graphics card driver cd. works wonders baby. thank you guys all for your help... i love you all... i would still be lost without your help... its been a while since ive had to deal with the initial setup of a home built 'puter. the most impressive piece of my gear in my opinion so far has been the mobo... cant wait until i get my place cleaned up and can install this zalman water cooler. mmm mmm good... then the overclocking begins....
Thank You all again... much appreciated

I know how to transfer dvd's, Need help Changing Catagories

I need some help. I have sucessfully transfered my dvd's and tv shows. However, the files are all dumped into the 'movies' catagory on my 5g IPod. Is there a way to change the files from one catagory to another? The guide doesn't see to cover this. You can respond here or email me at [email protected]
Thanks

I'm thinking the same thing. At the moment, I only seem to be able to assign one of the two standard categories: Movies or Music Videos.
You can change between these two categories by right-clicking your video in iTunes and selecting 'Get Info'. The option to change category is then listed under the 'Options' tab (If I remember correctly). These currently does not appear to be any way of adding any additional categories.
My current workaround is to assign a Genre to each clip: TV Show, Sport etc to each clip, they can then be organised using a Smart Playlist.

K9N Neo V3 and SATA DVD-RW, need help

Hi all!
I've got a K9N Neo V3 mainboard and a Pioneer DVR-215BK DVD-RW (which is a Serial ATA drive). The problem is, when attempting to read any disc (CD or DVD), the drive recognizes it OK - but then hangs the very moment data transfer begins, then after 3-4 attempts (i.e. read-hang-read-hang etc) starts reading, but transfer mode is set to PIO by the OS (I have Windows XP SP2 installed). I can change it back to UDMA 4, but when I load a disc the whole story repeats :( . Reading speed in this mode is not too impressive, of course.
I have upgraded mainboard's BIOS and the writer's firmware to the latest versions; tried NVidia IDE SW drivers; checked the RAM for errors; connected the writer to different SATA ports with different cables; changed RAID mode in BIOS setup - and, of course, surfed the web searching for the solution - and now I'm here... Seems like few people had quite the same problem, but I've tried what they were proposing (even disabling error control for the corresponding IDE channel in Windows registry) - with no result at all.
Here's what I have inside my PC case:
MB and DVD-RW - you already know; RAM: KingMax 2*1024 Mb 800 MHz; HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (SATA); Graphics: NVidia 8800 GS; Sound: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio; PSU: Delta 500W.
Note: SATA HDD works fine in UDMA 6 mode, without any errors. Any other piece of hardware I have also operates fine...
Hope anyone can tell me what causes this issue and what I can do about it. Is it my DVD-RW or motherboard that's faulty, or some compatibility issue, or I'm just stupid ? Thanks in advance.

The burner is not the issue , the issue is the motherboard or some simple bios settings or the bios itself .I have a K9n Neo v2 mcp 520 and it has the same problem dvd-rw under pio , i think the problem is caused by the drivers , because they just won't install
Well, that's at least something! Means I'm not alone.
Yesterday I cleaned up whatever was remaining that could have caused the issue: removed everything but vital components; uninstalled all programs that might use additional drivers (like Nero, WinCinema and such); had the RAM checked again by MemTest86+ 2.01. Well, nothing changed, of course.
Tomorrow I'm taking the system to the dealer I've bought it from (that's gonna be a challenge, we got a lot of snow here ) - we'll see what the service personnel has to tell me.
I will let you know as soon as the problem is solved.

In your case - what's the brand and model of your DVD-RW? Have you tried downloading the latest drivers - or maybe your installation CD is bad or a buggy installer? Try installing the drivers manually.

Encoding errors in dvd playback need help ASAP

I have a 80 minute program that i made in FCP. I've encoded it in compressor about 7-8 different times with various settings bit rates, job segmenting etc. primarily with 2 pass best 90 min and 120 min. I then burn them in DVDSP. the problem is some players are having issues reading the discs (Maxwell Verbatium) I used avg it rate of 5.5 with a max of 6.9 and as high as 7.2 It's an dance performance with movement.
Sometimes the issue is reading the disc other times is that the dvd will stop playing after about 10 mins or so. It starts freezing and there is the green digitizing. I've worked for a satt company that uses telco and it seems that the data is interrupted but the file size of the video averages 3.5 GB
Does anyone have ANY suggestions that may help in this playback issue. I've even burned the discs in different burners from two different computers.
Bit rates?
Region codes?
CBR?
Anything
Thanks

Hi:
I would stay with the 90 min standard preset and try changing the burning workflow.
DVDSP burns at max speed. You can try Creating Disc Image in DVDSP and burn it with Disk Utility or Toast and set a slower burn speed.

No output sound from output port/analog audio: Need help

hello, I want to connect my analog audio equipment to my iMac. I have done this in the past with my old G3. I have connected the RCA cables to a 3.5 mm jack and put it into the audio input port, which was what worked on the G3. When I open the sound page for input & output, on Output I can see the volume bar thing moving in relation to the sounds from mic, turntable, etc: all the analog audio things. However, there is no actual output of sound through the iMac;s speakers or a headphone. The output page is pretty simple so I am real sure I have all the rigt things checked, unchecked etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

I had what sounds like a similar problem to jazzzrat. i had my macbook setup to a stereo and it worked for over a year. suddenly no sound came out of the stereo. in my case, it definitely was a software setup thing.
plug in your stereo jack into the audio out port. then go to system preferences-->sound-->output. on there you should see, under "device for sound output": Name=Headphones, port=built-in output. (if you see name=built in speakers, you plugged in the wrong plug). Now go down to the bottom of the window and UNcheck the "mute" box, and make sure the volume slider is midway or more.
For some reason, mac allows you to mute the "headphones" and "built in speakers" selectively. we have no idea how that box got checked, that remains a complete mystery. but when we eventually found -- and unchecked -- the box, our stereo output came back just fine.
i hope this works for you. good luck and have a good new year.

Region Free dvd player NEED HELP

Is the dvd player that comes in my powerbook g4 region free? as in it can play dvds from anywhere such as england or germany if its an american computer

Wow. I am amazed. If that really works, than I shall try it too. What did you do to make that happen? I am afraid to change the settings too many times for it to be fixed then.
And - regarding VLC player - it only works as a work-around, if the actual drive is a region free drive. And this has not been the case since April 2004.

Need HELP to burn 35 DVDs very URGENT !!!

I have created a 16/9 screen DVD, size 451 Mo.
Problem 1:
When I register it as Disk image, I cannot open it on my HD to preview before burn it. When I click on the icon, it says "specify application", so I put iDVD, but it doesn't open. So I burn my project directly from iDVD. It takes time. I need to burn 35!!! Is there is possibility to fixe it, or I have to encoder every time I have to burn the same DVD?
Problem 2:
When I burn my project to DVD-R x16 Verbatim, using "Optimal quality" or "Optimal performances", my quality image is suffering. Pixels are becoming too big (like 1mmx1mm mosaique), so it is difficult to read text and to see pictures. My original project is perfect. I thought I was DVD quality, because I was using DVD+R x16 verbatim. But it seems to be iDVD problem.
Thank to all who know anything about and can help. I have to deliver the project by the end of this week.

Problem 1 Follow these directions:
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
Problem 2 Burn the disk image with Disk Utility and select a speed 4X or slower from the speed pop-up.

Desperately needs help burning DVD from iPhoto

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6. I desperately need help burning a DVD of a slide show that I created for my daughter's wedding.
I put several songs together by opening them and then combining them using QuickTime Pro. I imported the audio into iTunes and created a slide show using iPhoto. The slide show is perfect! The slides are finally in sink with the music just as I want them! But I don't know how to burn the slide show as a DVD.
I tried exporting the video from iPhoto to my computer, but at the end of the export, I get this message: please note that the music included in the slideshow can only be played on authorized machines. And when I try to play the video (after the export), most of the music on the video cannot be heard. When I try to authorize my machine, I am told that it's already authorized.
If someone would send detailed instructions on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Greg

Is your problem the DRM audio tracks you purchased from iTunes store?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

DVD Studio Pro Newbie Needs Help!

I have a presentation deadline approaching and I need help desperately. I created my presentation using Keynote 3 (800*600 slides) and exported it to a Quicktime movie using H.264 compression at 29.97 fps (high quality settings). I then proceeded to use iDVD 6 and imported the Quicktime movie and created a simple menu using the templates provided.
I saved the entire project as a disk image and used the DVD player to check the disk image file. The quality of the DVD disk image file looked nothing like the original Quicktime movie. The images and text looked blurry and unprofessional.
I've spend quite some time on the iDVD and Keynote discussion forums and can't find a solution to my problem. The conclusion I've come is that the mpeg-2 encoder that iDVD 6 uses is problematic.
I don't want to start using DVD Studio Pro but I will in order to preserve the quality of my original Keynote presentation. So here are my questions...thank you in advance for your help guys....I really need it:
- I plan on playing the DVD on a 42" Plasma display at a sales office and also distributing it to potential buyers. Are my Keynote export settings optimal for iDVD use? Should I be using H.264 @ 29.97?
- If I must use DVDSP then what export/compression settings should I use in Keynote to preserve the quality? Keynote doesn't give me an option to use mpeg-2. I have ffmpegX so I can encode different formats...just need to know the correct one.
- Keynote exports separate audio and video files. I combined them using Quicktime. Is it possible to use the combined file in DVDSP or do they need to be separate.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any reading material pertaining to this matter please provide link.

You can use a mov file that contains both audio and video. DVD Studio Pro will compress the mov itself. I am not overly familiar with the codec H.264 but either way its a codec that compresses the video, and if I am right that codec is used for compressing video to web based file sizes, which means heavy compression. When I create DVD material I use M2V format which is what DVD SP wants anyways so it cuts time and drive space in half. If you export an mov and import it into DVD SP, DVD SP compresses the file again which is M2V. Now you have two files, with twice the compression time. When creating M2V the only thing that you need o be aware of is the bit rate, which needs to be adjusted pending the duration of the video. Use 29.97 if you are NTSC and full frame rate, which you should be.
If you can not create an M2V file with associated aiff audio file, than export your QT file as uncompressed or as a QT Movie. The file itself will be huge but DVD SP will compress it properly.
I hope this helps

Need help to open audios attached in a PDF file

Hello
I just need help. I have ordered a reviewer online that has audios and texts in a pdf file. I was told to download the latest adobe reader on my computer. I have done the same thing on my ipad mini. I am not so technical with regards to these things. Therefore I need help. I can access the audios on my computer but not on my ipad.
I want to listen to audios with scripts or texts on them so i can listen to them when i am on the go. I was also informed that these files should work in any device. How come the audios doesnt work on my ipad.
Please help me on what to do.
Thanks

Audio and video are not currently support on Adobe Reader. :-<
You need to buy a PDF reader that supports them. My suggestion is PDF Expert from Readdle ($US 9.99)

Hi:
Please read the XP downgrade guide at the link below:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/General-XP-Downgrade-Guide-for-HP-Laptop...
The instructions for installing the audio for your model can be found under the section labeled 1. Easy Models
More than likely you didn't install the required MS UAA driver before installing your audio driver.
You will need to uninstall any audio drivers you tried before installing the MS UAA driver.
