DVD Audio Problem in main video

I have a 94 minute video clip that i am try to burn to dvd; however, when I burn the project i get a dvd that all the menu's work but the main video only has audio for the first 15 minutes and last 5 minutes. The video has been encoded to a quicktime .mov file with chapter information attached in quick time pro. I have tried all three encoding preferences, "best performance", "high quality", and "professional" all three gave me the same results. I have deleted the idvd project and redoing the whole thing 2 times. I have tried re-encoding the video once. I have also removed my preferences and started with a new preference file (.plist file for my user account). After two dvd's being wasted on this i have been encoding and saving the dvd's as dvd images to test before burning if that helps. So far I have been unable to locate my problem and fix it if anyone has any ideas or has experienced the same problem before and fixed it I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Thanks, after looking at that forum i found a link to another that had my question answered, i found that for some reason it does not like burning .mov files it only will burn .mp4, i found this out after re-installing quick time, encode the move two other times using .mov container and apple intermediate codex, kind-of bummed me out though i did not get anywhere near as high quality as the original with quality set a professional. Oh well guess i should look at upgrading to the pro app.

  • Audio problem when importing video files.

    Hello everyone,
    I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
    Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
    However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
    I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time  as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
    I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
    Cheers
    Christophe
    PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

    Update to 10.0.5.
    You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

  • More DVD Audio Problems! Help!

    This is the same problem as mentioned before in "dvd audio compatibility". I'm getting a lot of customers coming back with the same problem, and they're all using coax to connect their televisions to their dvd players. Problem is, not everyone has RCA jacks available to them. How should I be encoding these videos in Encore 2.0 to avoid this problem? By default they're all going into Dolby digital 2.0. For the past 2 years, I've used Encore 1, and never had this problem.
    What should I be doing in Encore 2?
    Thanks!

    David.
    It sounds to me as if there is something much more fundamentally wrong here. ALL your customers should be perfectly okay using CoAxial outputs from their DVD players. It is only DVD-Audio (a completely different format) that has this issue with needing RCA type jacks.
    DVD-Video should be perfectly okay outputting via CoAxial cables to a suitable Dolby Digital Decoder.
    These people who are missing audio - are they attempting to decode the Dolby Digital stream internally in their players? My guess (and thisis a guess without detailed info) is that they have simply not got their systems set up correctly. Sadly, this is all too common as most end users will never go into the setup pages and will just leave everything at factory defaults (which are rarely ideal)
    When we are talking about CoAx connections, are we talking CoAxial Digital Audio connections here, or CoAx TV (RF type) connections? There is a huge difference.

  • Audio problems while playing videos from superdrive

    Hi, i've got a macbook pro with leopard and a bootcamp partition with windows xp.
    When i play videos (divx or dvds) from my superdrive under windows, i have audio problems (like noise), but the same videos are fine in leopard or if i play them from another storage, for example from usb.
    Perhaps it's a problem with last bootcamp drivers..or maybe there is something wrong with my superdrive. i remember this wasnt an issue when i bought my mac (less then a year ago).
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm having the same problem.
    I had a video file that I had to convert for my iPod & iPhone, after doing so, only a white video screen and just the audio.
    What the heck is going on? it seems like a few people are having this problem!

  • DVD pro work flow/ main video reading chapter markers

    I figured out how the work flow work and how to get chapters and all that. However now my main video is reading the chapters and is stopping on one of the chapter makers. Can anyone give me an Idea what I should do now?

    Check that chapter marker for end jump actions... if there are none set (and never were any) then delete the marker and add it again in a slightly different location. Check playback - if it is OK, nudge the new marker back to the correct location and check again...
    If there are any end jump actions, remove them!

  • IMovie DVD audio no syncronized with video

    Just prior to the holidays, I spent many hours creating my first iMovie project; a video of my nieces and nephews with old video dating from the period 1987-1999. I imported old VHS and Hi8 footage to my Sony DCR TRV30 digital camcorder, then edited the footage using iMovie 4.0.1. I added music, transitions, titles etc. and ended up with about a 40 minute video which contained 2.7 GB worth of data. I burned the movie to a DVD-R using iDVD. However, when I played the disc on my DVD player, the audio was about a second behind the video. I assume the problem occurred during the burn process, because when I reviewed the project in iMovie, the audio and video were "synced." Any suggestions or thoughts as to wha might have happened? Thanks in advance...

  • Strange cd/dvd audio problem

    Here goes. I have an M105-s3004. When I put a cd in the drive and play it, I get poping and crackling sounds mixed in with the music. If I play a dvd, the same.
    Now, if I copy either the cd or dvd to my hard drive, and play from there, it plays fine. Also, if I shut the computer down and use the cd/dvd drive and the Toshiba Media Player (without booting the computer) both cd's and dvd's play fine.
    So, the only time I have problems is when paying with the computer booted and playing directly from the drive. By the way, I have tried numerous player programs and they all do the same.
    Anyone have any ideas??
    Thanks
    Mike

    I confirmed that it's either a QT 7.2 issue, or OS 10.4.10 issue (guess which I think is more likely :-)).
    I moved the iMovie to my wife's macbook, who thankfully usually hits cancel when the software update screen appears so it was still on 7.1.6 and OS 10.4.9. The movie exported fine. Not a great test, since I was changing processor types, iMovie versions, and OS versions, but it did work. Then I upgraded her to 7.2 and 10.4.10 (in retrospect, should have just done 7.2 to only change one thing, oh well), did the exact same export procedure, and the audio was corrupted the exact way that my computer broke it.
    So it's in one of those components for sure. I opened a bug, #5345205, for what it's worth. Hopefully they'll be able to replicate somehow and issue a fix. too bad there's no easy way to rollback an update.

  • ITunes audio problem while playing video.

    I have purchased several TV episodes which play just fine in iTunes on my HP Windows 7 laptop. However, on my Dell Windows XP desktop, the same videos lose the audio after a few seconds in iTunes, but the same videos play just fine in Quicktime on the Dell.  Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Why would a video work in Quicktime but not iTunes using the same computer?

    Hello dogsters,
    The following article details a number of troubleshooting steps that should help stabilize playback.

  • An audio problem and a video problem

    1. I'm a total novice about audio filters. Which filder would be best to take out wind noise? I used a rabbit fur baffle but still got a bit of wind noise. It cannot be reshot.
    2. Sometimes when I try to put a transition between two clips it seems to slip under the timeline. How can I avoid this and get the transition to center on the edit.
    Thanks for your help.

    1. SoundTrack Pro might be the best tool for this unless you have a more sophisticated audio program installed. Essentially, you'll need to sample just the wind noise then use the sample to filter the rest of the clip.
    If the wind noise is just low end rumble, one of the EQ filters may do it without leaving FCP. You'll need to play around with the settings to find what works in your situation. The main problem with wind and air noise though is that it often covers must of the audible spectrum, so any filtering you do can/will also effect the part of the sound you wanted to keep.
    2. Sounds like a "handle" issue. Make sure your clips have enough frames before the IN point and after the OUT point to support the duration of the transition you're using.

  • Audio problem after exporting videos from imovie.

    When I export videos I've made in imovie, the audio becomes distorted. Clips that I have silenced, start to play during clips that they don't belong to. Any fixes?

    Hi
    How did You Export videos ? To what and into what format ?
    If to iDVD then
    • First I would trash iMovie pref files and iDVDs likevice
    • Then in iMovie - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD or other res.)
    • Then in iDVD from Media button Movies import it.
    • Then test play in iDVD Preview
    • If OK then - Save as a DiskImage
    • Test this with DVD-player tool
    • Still OK
    • Then burn it to DVD either via iDVD or if You don't wat to re-calculate - use Disk Util tool.
    (set down burn speed to x4)

  • Audio Problem from Analog video

    Ok the basics are, I'm working with iMovie 4.0.1, Quictime 7.0.4 and video input from a vhs deck thru a Director's Cut DV converter box which is connected to my G4 via firewire and connected to the deck via the RCA jacks.
    When Previewing the tape all is well and there's no perceivable issues.
    Once imported into iMovie, there's a major audio buzz over the tape's audio making it unusable. I can hear the tape's audio faintly through the buzz. The video quality is fine. Any ideas on what's causing this? Third party apps, etc?
    Thanks
    Eric

    Lennart, again you are the master. Your link led me to this link, http://www.miglia.com/Support/dctechfaq.html which tells me some unfortunate info.
    For ease, here's their FAQ on the subject---
    Q: When I import video with iMovie, the audio sounds fine during import. Once I play it back, there is a background noise that covers the audio track.
    A: This issue is discussed in an Apple KB article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42979
    One workaround under iMovie 3/4 is to extract the audio from the video in the timeline.
    If you own a Director's Cut Take 2 with a serial number starting with 70xxxx or 71xxxx, you can purchase a firmware chip that provides a workaround for this iMovie issue.
    Units with serial numbers starting with 72xxxx or 172xxxx have the firmware workaround already built-in.
    Note that the firmware update is not compatible with the D-10 model manufactured by PowerR.
    I called Miglia, which now handles PowerR converters under their own name, and they will sell me a refurb at discount since I got this converter VERY early on.
    I will have to check with them to see if iMovie 5-6 addressed this issue and corrected it as upgrading is cheaper than buying a new converter, and extracting the audio isn't going to work for a lot of what I do. If anyone knows if upgrading to iMovie 5 or 6 fixes this issue, let me know! =)
    Thanks again Lennart!

  • Audio problems for online videos played with HDMI hookup

    I have a pavilion dv4 1155se notebook with vista os, and i have been having some sound problems when i hook my computer up to my hdtv. my knowledge about computers is fairly limited so bear with me please. whenever i hook my notebook up to my tv (using hdmi) to play online videos the sound will only come out of the speakers on my laptop, not the tv. the sound comes through the tv's speakers for everything else (music, games, etc) and it used to work for the online videos but the last couple times i've hooked my laptop up the sound only comes out of the notebooks speakers. the digital output device is enabled like it should be, it's just this one thing that is not working right. if anyone could help me out with this i would really appreciate it.

    Re-export the .mov using QT Pro's iPod preset. If you song is in there, it will play. Make sure that 'Make Self Contained' is checked.

  • IChat Audio problem while in video chat

    My girlfriend and I both have the new black MacBooks. When we go to video chat, we get this really loud feedback on both ends of the chat. It sounds like a squeaky wheel or something. We both turned down out output levels as well as turned on the ambient noises reduction. It's still happening. The only way to get rid of it is to lower our volumes to the point where we can't hear each other.
    Also, after so long of talking in the video messenger, it starts to skip really bad and the video screen gets pixelated, as well as our voices skip.
    We are both on cable internet, I should add.

    Umm Echoes.
    These can be hard to track down and sort.
    Sometimes there is a slight delay on the chat and you can sometimes here yourself coming back over the connection.
    If it is more like reverb in that it makes the sound "hollow" like you are in a big room then try moving Speakers and or Mic About and further apart.
    Pointing speakers away from the Mic can help.
    If that does not solve it you could try Headphones or a Headset.
    Either of these will need setting in System Preferences > Sound > Output tab and in iChat > Preferences > Video > and the relevant drop down name (I have forgotten it)

  • Problems with ITMS Videos after 1.1 Update

    OK, so there are lots of posts about video problems on 5G ipods after software update 1.1 and what encoding methods were used etc etc.
    After updating my 60GB iPod to 1.1 all my videos, including those purchased from the iTunes Music Store, suffer from audio problems.
    The video playback is fine, no freezing like others have mentioned, but I get loud popping and clicking sounds on the audio, particulalry at the start of a clip.
    Has ayone else experienced problems with video sound after the 1.1 update?
    Restoring to software 1.0 resolved the problem so there is definitely a problem with 1.1 and ITMS content.
    Apple need to sort this out. Fast.

    I foolishly did the 1.1 upgrade to my 60G iPod. I found that, as we all know by now, that all ov my videos that weren't from Quicktime Pro or purchased through iTunes hang after about 30 seconds, and then continues without any audio. But, the really obnoxious part is that my videos that I converted via QuickTime Pro suffered from very strange audio artifacts. These would fall into the category of clicks, purrs, warbles and other strange noises in addition to the audio that is supposed to be there. That pushed me over the line, and I "downgraded" my iPod back to release 1.0. I did the "restore" to completely erase my iPod and then re-loaded it from iTunes. I had already upgraded iTunes, and it has no problems with my now-restored-to-version 1.0 iPod. By the way, you have to edit a system file in order to do the downgrade: Put the ipod in harddisk mode. Edit the file (hidden folder and file) \iPod_Control\Device\SysInfo Replace the line that have the word "buildID" with this line:
    buildID: 0x05908000 (6.0)
    Then run the original iPod Updater to put 1.0 back onto it. This will leave you with the "feature" that any video that you change the Video Kind to TV Show will not show up on your iPod unless it's in a Video Play List. I actually like this, as it keeps the Video list from being cluttered up.

  • Audio problems w/ DVD burned

    I am using iDVD 6.0.4.
    I created a DVD containing two movie clips from iMovie HD, and several .avi files. When previewed in iDVD, all movie clips play normally. When burned to disk (using DVD+R media), the audio for the long movie from iMovie (which contains audio from the actual video plus songs inserted from iMovie) is missing. However, all other audio tracks for other video clips and menus are present.
    I tried removing the QuickTime components as recommended in one of the Troubleshooting guides, and this DVD had the same issue, PLUS the video from the short .avi files is missing.
    Help!

    Do your basic deleting of iDVD preferences and then do a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iDVD and trash the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iDVD and see if you still have the problem. iDVD will recreate the .plist file that you deleted.
    If that doesn't work, it seems to me that if all other clips play audio except for that one clip, then there is something wrong with that one clip. I would run it through Streamclip and convert to aiff.
    You could also launch your iDVD project in a different account and see if that makes a difference.
