External VIdeo and Sound Connection

Not too sophisticated re computers and am still moving from XP to OSX 5.5/Macbookpro.
Want to connect mac to 48" HDTV for movies, games. TV has HDMI port open and digital audio port available.
Questions are re audio connection:
1. I have dvi to hdmi cable on order;
2. do I also need separate digital audio cable? and
3. if yes, what type of connectors on cable? Mac port looks like small rca, but all cable I see have M ends that are not circular.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, did you manage to work this out?
I've got my MacBook Pro connected via DVI to HDMI to the TV. Picture comes through OK. Should sound come through the same connection or is a separate cable needed?
TIA
Bill

How can I import video and sound from my sony camcorder?

I have just bought the mac. I'm struggling to import video AND sound from my Sony DCR-SR87 hard disk handycam camcorder. From what I've read already, I ended up purchasing and downloading Quicktime MPEG2, and used the Utility MPEG Component Lion from downloaded MPEG Streaming 1.9.3b6 to enable video and sound to play on the computer directly from the camcorder. The problem is that when I import these clips using iphoto (it pops up when I connect the camcorder), the sound does not accompany the video onto the computer. I've hit something of a brick wall and would really appreciate any help.

OK, according to

your camera is supported by iMovie 9. Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum. Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

Video and Internet Connection

So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

Does this only happen with the nightly or can you reproduce this on other browsers as well?
Are videos playing on the other tabs?
To confirm what you are seeing:
12 youtube pages are open by the time you get to 12 or 13 the video and audio are corrupted?
Thanks

Rented Movie Video and Sound out of sync

I love renting movies from ITunes , but there is this ongoing issue with video and sound syncronisation. I have Window 7 64bit with i7 processor and the latest version of Itunes. I have gone through the settings of altering the sound properties on Quicktime player and Windows to 16bit 44khz which had improved it alot.
But when watching a film half way through the sound appears to overtake the video. Would this be a setting on the latency currently set to 33.000ms and should increasing this cure the problem?
I'll try altering the settings on one more film , if that doesn't work then ITunes for me is history.

Does it behave the same way when you watch the video on your computer? What you observed is not that uncommon since some formats/recorders tend to loose sync between the video and audio.

After iOS7.2 update my iPhone 4S will no longer feel the volume of the video and sound alerts. Why?

Lost 200+ pictures and many videos and sound clips

So, I wanted to update the iOS to iOS5, but something went wrong. It backed up (so I wasn't too worried), but it didn't restore properly. Error "-1". A pretty much unknown error. I tried again 2 day's later, and it worked like a charm.
BUT, in the 2 days, I went to a championship DTM race, about 600km (370 miles) away, shot over 200 pictures and many many videos and sound clips. We even stopped at the Nürenburgring Nordschleife before the DTM on the way and took the car to the track a few times. Awesome.
After the restore, I had all my previous stuff back, but lost all of the Nürenburgring Nordschleife and DTM pictures... Is there any way to get those back? iTunes restored my iPhone without asking me! So I lost everything as soon as I started up iTunes...

I lost all of my pictures and videos on my HTC rezound except for about 30 pictures out 700+. I did not delete them and according to my phone it wont even let me erase my SD card which everything was on. Why would my phone only erase my pictures and videos? Is there any way I can retrieve them? I had the back up plus but even it only has my pictures that I have taken since then and the 30 random pictures that it didn't delete. I noticed they were all gone after an update had occurred. Any help would greatly appreciated.
Have you taken the SD card out and put it into a computer or something to see if they are there or not? That would be my first thing to try.

Lost video and sound

Was happily making a movie. I reviewed it and got a screen which was all pixelated. Made the mistake of saving at that point. Now, although my movie looks fine in the time line, when reviewing my movie, I get sound at the start, but no video. Sometimes I get no sound as well.
What happened? It looks ok in the time line, but even when I select a clip, I get to video in the video window.
Help!

OK, here's some more info on my iMovie dilemma.
When I preview my movie, I see no video, and only some of the sound clips/music work. I cannot trace it to a single sound track, however.
I tried to send the movie to my camera, and it worked perfectly (video and sound in the camera and video on the computer), until it reached a certain clip (actually a photo with the KB effect).
When I dig up the media file for that clip, it plays perfectly in QT. in iMovie, however, (during the camera export) all I get are pixels and basically the movie quits there. Although it moves across the timeline, nothing shows in the viewer and I get a blue screen on my camera.
After that, when I previewed the movie, I got nothing; just a bar moving across the timeline. Restart iMovie, and I get the same result I started this post with.
When I began the import to the camera, I got a notice about some clips needing to be rendered. Out of fear of messing things up more, I chose proceed only, vs render and proceed. Would choosing render and proceed fix it, I wonder . . .

What's the best way to sync video and sound?

If I'm going to make a music video with performance shots (lip-syncing) interspersed with story-line shots, what's the best way to line them up. I mean, I start with some video shot from a car while the song is playing, then transition to a shot of me singing. Say I get the singing clip lined up perfect, then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing? And of course, I'll be doing this multiple times throughout the video. Say I get the first one right, then add some more storyline video and another performance clip and I lock that (second) clip to the audio. Isn't that going to shift my first performance clip when I add a transition? Am I making sense?

First look at all your material ..'review' it.
As you say so rightly: "..then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing?.." ..yes; but only if you haven't allowed for the length of each transition when you first line up your clips.
So watch your footage, think where you want to cut it, and then immediately think "what kind of transition there, and for how long?" ..Imagine it, in your head, so if you think "that would work best with a quick two-thirds of a second dissolve" jot down that you want to leave an extra two-thirds of a second at the start of the clip which you want to transition into.
In the US of A, at 30 frames per second of NTSC video, two-thirds of a second is 20 frames. (..The frame counter gets up to 0:29 and then changes to 1:00, because the 30th frame changes it over to the next second..)
In Europe the frame rate is 25 per second - so after 0:24 comes 1:00 - so two-thirds of a second is about 0:16.
So when you start to cut your video clips, if you're going to have a two-thirds of a second dissolve between your first two, you'll need to leave an extra 20 (NTSC) or 16 (PAL) frames at the start of your second clip, before the action you want begins onscreen, so that those frames will be "eaten away" in the dissolve between the end of the previous clip and the start of the clip which follows it.
If you definitely want to see the last few frames of "lip-sync" - for some reason - of the first (outgoing) clip, then leave the extra frames on the end of that clip, instead of at the start of the following clip, but it usually works best to ensure that the follow-on clip starts with those extra "sacrificial" frames.
If you want to use any embedded audio that's in the video clips - and you're not simply matching up the video to external sound (..such as an iTunes track or your own material which you're pre-recorded..) then be sure to Extract the audio from your clips as soon as you've cut them, and before you apply any transitions. This keeps their audio safely "marooned" on an audio track, where you can edit it separately, and then match it to the edited video.
So prepare all your video first, and cut it to have excess "tops and tails" which you can eat away during the transitions. (The only transition which doesn't eat away material is iMovie's "Overlap", which freezes the outgoing clip, and dissolves the incoming clip into that freeze-frame. But that - in my opinion -doesn't look to good with music videos, because it freezes the flow of the video, and makes it seem too pointlessly 'jerky'.)

Episodes with corrupted video and sound

I have a season pass for Chuck season 3, and i have reported errors on some of the episodes where the end is corrupted so the picture freeze and sound is just noise.
Unfortunately the support wont help, they just say that i cant get a refund (i never asked for refund, just for a new download of the file) are there anywhere i can contact when support wont help?
