Help please ~ sound problems with menus in iDVD

I launch iDVD from within iMovie. Then I start to personalise the menus.
But the menu screens although showing the chapters only give a loop duration of between 00:00 and 13:30 seconds.
Every time whenever I import QuickTime dv. files (made in iDVD 5 to avoid the dreaded rise in volume at the end) the sound in iDVD is grotesquely distorted.
Each of the QuickTime dv. movies last 10 seconds.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help!!

Thanks John Beatty of Maryland for responding. But I think I'll need to post my question again in hopes that someone else will recognise my difficulty.
I was hoping for a solution.
The distortion in audio occurs during the process of DESIGNING my DVD ~ I don't get as far as previewing.
It's only occurring in one screen (or menu). Although my QuickTime dv. file lasts only 10 seconds (in this case) and should therefore fit within a 13 and a half second limit, it shouldn't be offering me such a short time frame ~ normally it's quite a bit more ~ 51 seconds, is it? ~ and you move the slider back to the time you require for the dv. movie to loop.
But thanks anyway, John. Someone else might recognise my difficulty.

  • Help please? problems with screen resolution & external monitor

    had a look around this forum and seen many questions about screen resolution when connecting to an external monitor but unfortunately, non that help me answer my problem.
    got a brand new macbook a few months ago and today bought a HP v220 22" external monitor.
    I am new to the idea of external monitors and am unsure what i am doing wrong settings-wise. it seems that no matter what resolution i set either my macbook display, or the external monitor display to. the external monitor is still not sharp.
    Im not sure how to explain what i need but basically i need it to be so that things appear on the external the same size as they do on my macbook screen, so that i will have more space to work in on my external monitor (i am a graphics student) but at the moment what appears on the monitor is lieterally just a magnified version of my macbook screen, hence it lacks clarity.
    the highest resolution offered in the menu for my macbook screen is 1280x800 and my external is recommended to be set at 1680x1050.
    what settings should i have to get the resolution right?
    i will be so so grateful if you can help. i think ive tried every single display setting but to no avail. so please help me!

    The 13.3" screen on the MacBook running at 1280 x 800 will have a ppi (pixels per inch) of around 113. A 22" monitor running 1680 x 1050 will have a ppi of around 90. So it is natural that it will look magnified compared with the MacBook. The two displays have different a pixel pitch.
    Since there are no monitors with ~113 ppi out there in the market, what you want to do with having the same size and sharpness between the MB and a monitor will not be possible.
    If you ran the MB's screen at 1024 x 640 (not even sure if that is an available choice), then the two screens would match in terms of "magnification." But the MB isn't going to look very sharp running such a low, non-native format.

  • Help please...All menus grayed out in CS4...

    Premiere Pro used to work and a few weeks ago when I openned it, all of the menu items were grayed out and no editing panel or anything openned. I can't even quit the program. Literally everything is grayed out.
    There is nothing I can do with it.  I have uninstalled the entire Master Collection using the Adobe Installers and double checked to make sure things were cleaned up by using the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool.I have also attempted to just reinstall Premiere Pro from the disks to no avail.
    All other programs in the suite apprear to load and work fine. Only Premiere Pro CS4 does not work.
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I really need to be able to use the program and can't yet afford to upgrade to CS5.5... so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks guys!
    David

    Thanks Bill. No worries... Haa, haa. I should have asked MYSELF about the second monitor.
    REALLY appreciate the help and care.
    Blessings bro.

    The second monitor has been an issue with several programs. Photoshop is one too.
    There is another thread, where a user was getting the "bing," that a window was open, but could not see it. Sure enough, it was on his second monitor, that had been disconnected. I should have asked if you had ever had a second monitor. I am the "dunce."
    Glad that you located the problem and good luck,

  • Sound problems with Portege M600 using WXP SP3

    I have had on-going sound problems with my laptop and feel so frustrated - please help!
    I have downloaded the sound driver (abt a million times - and tried uninstalling then reinstalling) - and repeatedly get no volume icon on the desk top and a message saying "no sound driver can be found".
    I did manage to fix it once - when i had WIndows Vista installed - by finding some obscure patch - but this time around - no solutions.
    Can anyone help - it is so frustrating!!!!

    The mentioned patches are part of Win XP SP2 & SP3
    So ensure that all service packs are installed.
    Then go to device manager and delete the High Definition Audio Controller (in system devices) and additionally delete all devices from Audio, Video and Game controller section.
    Then reboot the notebook.
    Wait until the device would be recognized again and then install the sound driver!

  • Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

    Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

    I had the same problem, but it disappeared yesterday. Try it run under root - it helped me. I dont really know how i fixed it, but it works under normal user now as well ...I hope there will be someone who knows.

  • Sound problems with movie

    I just purchased the movie "Overboard" in HD. The movie video plays ok, but the sound keeps going in and out.
    I don't understand why this is happening. My music plays ok and I'm not having any other sound problems with my
    computer.  I am running Itunes on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer (Gateway).
    I couldn't figure out how to re-download it or repair it.
    If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!
    Thanks!

  • Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

    I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
    Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
    Thanks

    Hi again
    I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
    (I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
    There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
    But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
    After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

  • I have sounds problems with iOS 7

    I have sounds problems with iOS 7. I can not hear my music, all the apps have no sounds. Only when I ask Siri has sound but it's too loud and awful. I found 2 errors with I ask to Siri what things she can do in Spanish the is an error and one word or If I ask who am I? She said that I have to go to settings and indicate her who I am but I already have that configured. And I try to configure again just in case, I do the same question and she still doesn't who I am.

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • Sound problems with my Visio

    Hi, I have read that people are having sound problems with their Vision M players, hissing etc.
    I wonder if anyone has had the problem I have - I cannot alter the volume! When I plug in either headphones or portable speakers into the M, using the touch pad has no effect on the volume. If I unplug it the touch pad then alters (or appears to) the volume - judging by the scale on the right of the screen. Plug the phones back in again and I get the same one level of volume.
    Also, the screen goes blank when I plug in phones or speakers.
    I am an MP3 player virgin and have no idea if the fault is mine or not.
    I bought my Vision M from Amazon, who very quickly sent me a replacement when I contacted them - even before I had returned the original. But the replacement has the same problems.
    Any comments would be welcome.
    John

    woggydog, thats what happens when your plugging outputs into the Audio/Video out socket of the player using the dock or supplied connector... it goes into line Out Mode, which cuts out audio from changing since the amplifier would be able to control this on a sound system.
    The one that shouldn't do this is the one on the top right of the player.
