IDVD 6 - No audio track on burned DVD?

Ive run into a problem with iDVD 6.0...The project I’m working on was created in iMovie, and then ported to iDVD for final editing and burning. While running the project in the preview mode of iDVD, everything is fine – menus, content, etc. Encoding/burning was uneventful, taking forever on my old G4, but completing successfully. The problem is that when I play the created DVD, there is no audio content to the chapters. However chapter selection screen does have the audio track I added, and does play.
Not sure where I went wrong, as everything is OK in preview mode from within iDVD. The lack of audio on playback occurs in any DVD player, so it leads me to believe something’s missing from the burned disk.
Any thgouts/insite would be greatly appreciated

Are you using iTunes purchased music? If so, it is a known problem. See last post on this thread for a workaround.

Other things to try
Use a good brand DVD-R like Verbatim or Maxcell
Save project as a disk image
Burn disk image to DVD by using Disk Utility
Burn at 2x speed
Hope this helps

  • Audio problems from burning DVD's from Macbook Pro?

    Hey guys,
    So lately I have been having problems with burning DVD.  I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast Titanium 11 too burn movies to play on my television. After burnign them I notice all of them have audio problems.  It's as if the audio is faint for the dialogue but when background music plays its blaring! I checked my TV and its definitely not my Television because sound plays from both speakers.  I was wondering if any other Macbook users had this problem or users of either of these programs had this problem because it's such a hassle burning movies without really enjoying them.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Audio problem after burned DVD on set top player only?

    My burned DVD's play great on any computer PC or MAC but on client's (and mine) set top DVD player the first 3 seconds of the 30-min program don't play any audio???
    Client's set top DVD player is brand new and has HDMI out puts, my player is old, 3 years maybe but both players do the exact same thing...the DVD's we're trying to play on the DVD players are all built and burnt from Mac using DVD SP. So the menus all work, even the audio perfectly, but when you choose the program it won't play the audio for 3 sec, then it kicks in, though the video plays perfectly from beginning. I've got 1 sec of Black at the head of program, then it fades up to first shot. I've got that same black slug on both audio tracks for 1 sec as well...tried with and without the black in the audio tracks, no change. Now on a 4 year old Panasonic EM-50 something DVD recorder/player the DVD's did work.
    Thoughts?

    Hi tomwros
    Welcome to apple discussions. Sorry to hear you are having problems navigating a burned disc. In most cases on apple discussions it's the result of the media and not of the hardware / software.
    Please tell us which brands you have tried. Include speed of the media itself and if it's plus or minus media. Also when you used Roxio Toast, what speed did you burn at within Toast?

  • Audio missing on burned DVD

    Follow me on this one: Made an iMovie and shared it with iDVD. Did all the menu items, etc. and burned the DVD. After watching the DVD, I wanted to make some edits. I went into iMovie and did the edits.
    I did not create a new iDVD with the edited iMovie because I happened to discover that when I made the edits in iMovie, they actually translated to the original iDVD. So I saved the project in both iMovie and iDVD and burned the new DVD.
    PROBLEM: Everything came out perfect except, the audio. I have audio on the menu (which I put there) but there is no audio throughout the rest of the DVD.
    I checked my iMovie and audio is there. I reviewed the iDVD project on my computer and the audio is there. I checked the audio levels on iMovie and they're at 100%. I made sure that the "check boxes" on the 3 lines of audio were checked and operable. I checked the "map" on iDVD and there is no indication of any audio issues. Yet, when I play the newly burned DVD, there is no audio other than the menu music.
    Help!!!

    Before you burn an updated project, it is a good idea to "Delete Encoded Assets" from the Advanced menu. That will start you afresh with new encoding for the updated project.
    If you have incorrectly placed chapter markers in your movie, sometimes that can cause audio problems on a DVD. Make sure that you remove or reset any chapter marker within 1 second of the beginning or end of your movie, or in a transition. This would include the "beginning" marker that is automatically set.
    You also could try dragging your iMovie project into a new iDVD project, and burning from there.
    Instead of burning directly from iDVD, save the iDVD project as a disk image (an option from the File menu), wait until the assets have encoded (it takes a while), and then play the disk image by double clicking on it, and then clicking on your DVD player app icon on your Mac. If it plays fine, then your encoding is O.K. The next step would be to try burning a DVD from the Disk Image by using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Open the Disk Utility window and you should see your Disk Image icon displayed in the left hand pane. If it's not there, drag it into that pane. Select it and click on the burn symbol at the top of the window. Insert a DVD-R disk and then click on the "burn" button.

  • Unknown audio track on my DVDs

    I put together an iMovie with stills and an audio track. When I preview it, it plays perfectly. When I burn the DVD of it, a totally different audio track plays and the one I put into the iMovie is nowhere on the disc. Help!

  • How to display the name of the audio tracks on a dvd player?

    Hi, I use DVD studio pro to make a dvd with a video track and two audio tracks. One is for stereo and the other is for 5.1 surround, in the same language (A1 and A2) . Is it possible to set the stream language in the way that on the display of the dvd player appear the name of the audio stream: stereo or surround?
    Thanks in advance,

    Nope, not somehting authoring in DVD SP can do.
    I have not heard of it, but maybe some players have a feature to show info there (?) would be cool to have that as a feature to show info there

  • Idvd 09 - preview looks awsome, burned dvd looks like crap on a stick!

    What is going on with idvd???
    1. I use a Panasonic HD digital camcorder that saves video in 1080p x 720p and looks spectacular veiwed directly from camcorder to TV.
    2. I import the video files into imovie 09 and quality still looks great. (I realize my monitor won't display video at it's highest resolution.)
    3. I edit the video and as the text and transitions are added the playback gets choppy and starts to freeze. -Whatever!
    4. I "share" the final vid to media browser.
    5. I create a DVD menu in iDVD 09 and import the video from the media/movies panel.
    Preview looks great, runs fairly smooth. ok!
    6. I burn to a DVD-R using the Best Performance setting.
    7. I place the burned DVD into my dvd player and....
    It now looks like I am projecting the video onto a brick wall with the focus out of adjustment. The video is not very smooth, with jittery motion! And the resolution mimics that of an old Sega Game Gear view screen! Text has video noise distortion all around it. Probably would look better on youtube! AND....If I select "Scene selection" option and choose a scene from the middle of the movie, it just plays from the start anyway!
    So much for HD! So much for deadlines! Now I just want to know why I "upgraded" to iLife 09 and a new-found crappy quality!! "Hollywood style movies" - MY BUTT!!!!!
    Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Jerred,
    Welcome to apple discussions. I have some bad news and some good news for you. I'll start with the bad news.
    iDVD does Not support burning High Def DVD (even though iMovie will in fact edit HD). That's the bad news.
    The good news is that there are third party options available to you at a relatively low cost (under $120).
    See here: http://www.roxio.com/
    OK. I told you the bad news and the good news right? Well here's the frosting on the cake:
    You DON'T need a BD burner if you're doing this on the cheap (like most of us). A standard DVD burner such as your Mac's superdrive will do fine.
    See here: http://www.macvideo.tv/dvd-authoring/features/index.cfm?articleId=112361
    Btw, you do want to make certain your camcorder/ camera is listed below prior to proceeding with the above info:

  • IDVD will not play my burned DVD lecture!!

    I have a DVD for a lecture that I'm supposed to view for work.  This is a burned DVD.  I am ABLE to play this DVD on my DVD player at home but I cannot watch this video on my Macbook Pro using iDVD.  It says "Not Permitted" in a grey screen when you press play.  Is there another DVD program that I can use to watch this DVD on?

    Does the DVD play in other players or on other computers?
    Try the following basic trouble shooting steps that are mentioned on many posts.
    Save as a disk image
    Burn disk image using Disk Utility at a slower speed (2x or 4x)

    Use DVD-R (not +/-RW or +R)
    Use Maxcell or Verbatim disks

  • IDVD will not launch to burn DVD

    In my iMovie HD 5.0.2, the iDVD will not launch to burn a DVD. I have tried everything. When clicking the iDVD, it says to go to Finder to launch. In Finder, I go to applications and click iDVD and get:You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OSX.
    What are my options???

    Just a little confused. I already have iphoto, imovie, garage band etc that would be in a ilife download so what are the benefits? Currently, when I click for software upgrades, there are none. Would downloading ilife really change anything?

  • Audio Tracks from Concert DVD's

  • How can I extract an audio track from a DVD on a MacBook Pro?

  • Extracting an audio track from a DVD

    DVD ripping is a topic we can't discuss here. If you've got an elaborate enough setup, I don't think there's anything legally in the way of you connecting a DVD player's audio outputs to a capture device or interface on your computer and recording the audio stream that way (no DRM circumvention involved). I could do this with my home CD player and Apogee Duet, for example.

  • Audio distortion in Burned DVD's

    I posted this in iDVD, but think it may be an iMovie issue since I didn't have the problem using the iLife 6 apps.
    Anyway, just looking for some answers/thoughts.
    So I get some distortion, what sounds like maxed volume through crappy speakers when I now that I use iMovie 08, iDVD 08 and Garageband (forced to use because I want custom chapter markers) & I have had the same audio distortion with several projects using various downloaded (amazon) mp3's or LAME rips 224 kbps or higher. I checked the dvd on my PS3 to Pioneer plasma...sounds distorted. Other computers and "simple DVD" players the song is high but can't tell the distortion.
    So here's what I'm trying to answer
    Is it my PS3-Pioneer TV?
    How does the normalization in iMovie work? Does garageband undo it?
    Here's why I ask...I set the volume levels for 75% on all music tracks then normalized and exported, loaded in Gband, added chapters and re-exported using share to disk. I saw something speed by that looked liked it said normalizing, and was wondering what that does to the track that is supposedly already normalized.
    I plan on running a few tests so that I don't have deal with this again.
    I have re-done the audio without normalization, but volume at 75%. I'll import this direct to idvd...test
    same thing only run through gband then idvd..test
    Any help/info is appreciated...
    PS..I usually burn on TDK DVD-R's

    Volume will control the sound from the main Video track. I usually set it at either 100% or 0%, but no reason you cant use other settings.
    The Ducking feature controls the volume of the music tracks, extracted tracks, and voiceovers as a percentage of the volume of the main track.
    So 100% in Ducking means main track and music track have same volume.
    15% ducking means music track is 15% of volume of main track. 0% ducking means that music track is silent.

  • Audio distortion on burned DVD

    Hi everyone,
    I am having problems with a completed DVD. The movie was created in iMovie - no problem looks and sounds fine. I have transfered it to iDVD (best quality not best performance) - again, looks and sounds fine in preview. However, after the burn process the DVD plays but the audio is distorted. One thing I have tried is to find a setting to alter the burn speed but can't find any. Have any of you had the same problem? Any solutions?
    I have seen old posts relating to pre-burn sound problems but no post-burn.
    Thanks,
    SP

    The problem seems to be incompatability between drives and media. The DVD plays fine on my Powerbook, also on some standalone DVD players but not mine. On several other players friends have tried it distorts too. I guess its to do with laser tolerances etc. Oh well at least its not a problem with my Powerbook.

    Hello, prutgers,
    You will need to be a bit more specific with your problem so we can help you.
    What do you mean by 'it goes wrong'? What exactly happens?
    You need to know that when your DVD is encoding audio, the process appears to be doing nothing. If you leave it alone for a while, it just may finish. Maybe you are not waiting long enough.
    Especially if you don't get an error message. What are you doing? Did you force quit? Did the DVD burn and has an audio problem?
    Give us more information!
