HELP: iDVD plays back audio all distorted and slow

I just created a movie in iMovieHD. It looks and sounds great in iMovieHD. I then chose the iDVD button to export my movie to iDVD. After it rendered in iDVD and I play it back, the pictures looks beautiful but the audio is all distorted and is playing back at least 5 times too slow compared to the original audio. My audio source in iMovieHD was an AIFF file from iTunes. My iMovie is still photos from iPhoto set to the music from iTunes.

Hi David:
Extracting the audio tracks in imovie first will often fix the problem.

  • DVD does not play back on all computers and DVD players after burning

    I have built and formatted a dvd using dsp but it will not playback on laptops even though it works fine on dvd players macs, and pcs. On some laptops there is no sound others just crash. Is this a problem with the laptops or how i have formatted the dvd?

    suggestion 1
    If you are trying to playback on a PC laptop running windows:
    Do not use Windows Media Player to play back the DVD, it wont work, it is not a DVD player.
    Use the software supplied with the DVD drive such as Win DVD or Power DVD.
    suggestion 2
    The disc format is incompatible with the DVD drive:
    If the disc you created is a DVD-R and you play on a DVD+R drive, or a DVD+R disc played in a DVD-R drive then the disc will not play.
    suggestion 3
    the drive is a CD drive not a DVD drive

  • Some how 10.5 version got on my computer and my itune music is all distorted and scratchy

    Help I have windows xp and the 10.5 version of itunes has made my playback of songs all distorted and scratchy, i.e. like a hollow tin can.  Help... does anyone have info on a solution yet.

    On that note, long story short, it was very helpful for me to download the latest firmware. Here's a link for the Windows download. Try this first, if you haven't already. One of the fixes "-Resolves issue with Audio dropout when playing to AirPort Express with AirTunes". Not exactly your issue, but worth a try.

    I just purchased my AirPort Express, too bad they don't recommend updating firmware in BIG BOLD LETTERS, and who would think to do so if the equipment is brand new...anyways, good luck.

  • Thunderbolt audio distortion and slow Pegasus Raid Speeds

    Having major problems with my MBP 17" and my thunderbolt set up. (MBP 17" 2.3 i7 quad core, (2) 27" thunderbolt displays, Pegasus R6 12TB Raid, Blackmagic Ultra Studio Pro 3D)
    Apple states this clearly on there website that it is possible with this exact set up.
    Issues: With all 4 devices plugged in the Raid speed goes from about 515mb/sec write to 166mb/sec write speed. 
                With one thunderbolt display, raid, and blackmagic I get around 460mb/sec.  As soon as the second display is added to the mix the speed drops off considerably. 
    After Effects and Davinci Resolve color correction software cannot get sync on the Blackmagic box. Final Cut works ok.
    The other really big problem is that when you do any kind of data transfer across the thunderbolt line, I cant get audio to play back for more than a few seconds. I get distortion and static in the line.  I have tried the thunderbolt audio from the monitors and the Blackmagic box.
    The most curious thing is that it all works on the 13" MBP.  The write speed goes to 225mb/sec with everything plugged in, however it must be enough, because the audio doesnt distort and I can get sync on my color correction monitor out of the Blackmagic box.
    I also tried a brand new 17" MBP 2.5 i7.  I still get the same problem.  It is like there is something wrong with the 17".
    I have contacted Pegasus and Blackmagic.  Pegasus said that they now know about it and are working with Apple. 
    Does anyone else have this set up and are you experiencing the same problems?  Please feel free to respond with any questions.  I wouldl love to hear from Apple regarding this matter.  Seems like a big problem.
    (other items testing)
    -Switched video card to not auto switch.  just use high performance.
    -Went to Apple, bought a brand new 17" 2.5, stock.  tested it.  same exact results.
    -Moved all the items around in the daisy chain to see if one item has to be first.  No luck.
    -Laptop monitor open and closed, same result.
    -Reinstall OS.
    -Brand new motherboard.
    -New hard drive
    -New RAM
    No luck again.

    This is not a surprise. Apple's software RAID is slow. The best option for using Apple's software RAID is to use a regular disk for your audio files and keep the backup copy on a RAID. Also, depending on how important those files are, you might also want to keep an off-site backup copy because fires, floods, and thefts do occur.

  • After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

    I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
    All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x.  Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So  I can't send texts or make phone calls.
    This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
    My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
    Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
    Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
    So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
    Thanks Apple!

  • Logic 8 won't play back audio recorded at 48 kHz

    So I was recording a small project in Logic 8 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) the other day when I noticed that audio recorded at 48 kHz wasn't playing back at all. The wave form appeared in the audio region after recording, but the meters on OUT 1-2 weren't lighting up at all. When I switched the project mode to 44.1 kHz, the audio played back fine (except it sounded pitched down and slow). I was in a hurry so I just recorded the whole project at 44.1 kHz instead, even though it should have been 48 kHz.
    Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

  • Logic wont play back audio regions under certain tracks.

    Hello! I am rearranging my audio files (throwing them all to my secondary hard drive, where I record to ). I did this, and now certain audio files to do not play back in my logic projects, but there is no warning that says the file cannot be found--which is what I am used to happening. At that point I would either hit the Search button, or the Manually Find button. Instead, the region appears as per usual, just with nothing playing back. I know I could import the audio back into my projects manually--which would be fine for those that start at a specific, clean-cut time, but what about all those spliced and diced regions that are cut up and laid out all over the place!?
    I discovered new details to the weirdness . . .
    It seems, in the few projects that I relocated audio, that the affected regions cannot be played back unless I move them to another audio track. What??? For example, the vocal track in one song, which is all set up with its plugins and such as Audio Track 2, will produce no sound unless I drag it to another audio track, say Audio Track 3 or 4. It is bonkers!! What the heck is that about?
    This is what happened in all of the projects affected by my source audio rearrangement. Sure, I could easily just copy my channel strip settings to a new track, relocate my audio region to it, and hope all goes well thereforth, but I would much rather get to the root of this oddity so it doesn't somehow buck me later.
    What do you think it could be?
    Oh yea, in one of the projects, all the other audio tracks seem to play back fine, except for the recorded bass track. Okay, so just to check, I drag the bass audio to another track--yep, it does play back. But I realized that the track that held the bass region (Track 4) is actually playing back the vocals (which are also playing back normally in their intended track). I initially didn't notice the extra vocals underneath my normal vocals track, with their low-key bass plug-in settings. Funny thing is, there isn't even a region on Track 4 any more! How is it playing anything back at all?? Not that it makes any more sense that it would be playing back vocals with a bass region.
    Also, the fact that Logic Pro keeps quitting unexpectedly does not inspire much confidence. This has just been lately, and I've only been playing with these projects lately, trying to figure this out.
    Is my Logic haunted? =(
    I welcome any and all objective suggestions! I am feeling just the slightest bit overwhelmed by this odd behavior.
    Thanks!
    (i checked, but did not see that the tracks were muted in anyway, including the region itself)

    I figured something out that might tell someone what I did to screw things up!
    I think I did something to mess up the environment or something. I know this much now: When I created a new project, I created 6 new audio tracks. I noticed that a piece of previously recorded audio that I imported into the project would only play back on ever other track! I than noticed that on the every other track (that would not play back the audio when it was dragged to it), there was neither a single circle (indicating mono for the track) or the two overlapping circles (indicating stereo for the track) beneath the channel's level meter.
    There must be some significance to this that I do not quite understand!
    I then went back and launched several of my problematic projects to see if the tracks that would not play back audio also did not display either the mono or stereo circles on their respective channel strips. They did not! What kind of global setting did I change that would cause this?
    There was one project that had one track that bared neither mono or stereo an played back its audio (Although, in this same project, there was another track that bared neither symbol that was not playing back its audio). Anyway, I noticed something that was weird to me, but will likely tell someone what the heck I must have inadvertently done to cause all of this:
    When I change one audio track (that bares the mono symbol) into stereo, the next audio track (that didn't display either symbol) seems like it is combined with the previous track's output!
    Very strange! Did I somehow set some global preference to split up my audio tracks across each not audio track?? If so, could someone please explain to me what and I did that? Thanks!

  • Songs purchased from store only play back a few seconds and stop  any ideas?

    purchased from store only play back a few seconds and stop      any ideas?

    I think I might have found an answer - importing a folder and or Limewire!
    Either Limewire mess's with the files, folder or your system or iTunes attempts to stop illegally downloaded files being played. iTunes might also do it if importing a lot of files in one go.
    I imported a music folder that isn't mine from our home network drive that has a few tracks in it downloaded through Limewire. I re checked some of the files in Ableton Live and they are actually damaged! So I tried importing one of the Limewire tunes again individually after finding some info online (links to the pages at bottom) and the track plays no prob now. I also un-checked the "look for shared folders" in iTunes preferences.
    For about 2 years now I haven't been able to import more than 3 files at a time which is why I imported a whole folder (about 50 tracks) just after the software update and C.D importing.
    My concern is that importing a whole folder even without any Limewire downloads in it might well be treated this way by iTunes. Most of the tracks in our network drive folder that have been downloaded through Limewire are legit direct connect transfers from producer to producer or legit submitted tracks!
    Hope this helps.

  • HT2375 Using logic 9: play back of all project files now has problems:  Track volumes are way off - if panning is set to center then you cant hear that track? Even if pan is adjusted tracks are low and or distorted I have looked at core/built in audio

    Been having project play back problems for about a month.  Sometimes when I open a project the volume of certain tracks is low and or distorted.  Oddly if a midi track is panned to the center (0) its volume is too low and if I pan right or left the track becomes louder.  Sometimes this doesn't help and if it is an audio track things become distorted. 
    Although things have been working good for about a year now I think it has something to do with the fact that I have to take the laptop to work and use headphones/built in audio for play back and then take it home and use different audio interface but I can't be sure.  The settings in preferences/audio/devises seem to be correct.
    I have not added any plug-ins recently.  I have not downloaded any new programs recently other than a NI tutorial video (shouldn't have any affect) but I am trying to use a new midi controller but again that shouldn't have any affect on play back of existing track?
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio. 

  • Playing back audio - can I slow it down and also lower the pitch?

    For old-time's sake, I have recently recorded a bunch of old cassettes of me and my mates larking about 20 years ago. The idea is to transfer them to digital format.
    However, the cassette recorder we used ran slightly slow, and so when the tapes are played they play back slightly fast with everything at slightly too high a pitch.
    I recorded each side of each cassette on a pair of mono tracks in Logic (as there is a noticeable difference in the volume level on the left & right tracks, which I want to correct).
    When bouncing to a stereo file, I want the project to play back slightly slow, so it corrects both the speed and pitch issues of the original recordings. The question is - how do I do this? Reducing the tempo setting makes no difference!
    I've just installed Logic 9 and Flex Mode looks very useful for reducing the speed of audio files... but it doesn't appear to also lower the pitch.
    Can anybody help, please?

    Aha! Sussed it!
    Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
    Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!
