IDVD dropping sound

I have a project with 4 short movies. The project seems to burn fine but during my longest movie (38 min) the sound drops out of the last 5 minutes.
These movies were created by FCP. I was able to manage a DVD Studio Pro version (which is not working very well (barely works) with Leopard. I managed to get it to burn and there is not problem with the sound. I would use that copy, but the menu skips. I am really having a lot of issues with my Final Cut Studio with Leopard. Even after yesterday's update.
By the way, I built the same project on my daughters computer using idvd with Tiger and the same thing happened. No sound for last 5 minutes.
Any insight is appreciated

What brand and format DVD are you using? Making a disk image and then burning? Burning at what speed?
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility. You can set burn speed in iDVD '08 if not creating a disc image.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his iDVD 6 book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
I buy Verbatim white inkjet printable in stacks of 50. Verbatim's part number: 94971. They have been flawless for me.

Keynote to quicktime movie to iDVD, no sound on dvd

I know this has been asked a million times, however I (a relatively recent Mac convert) absolutely can't believe that Apple would not allow this to work.
I have a keynote slideshow with music. I "send to iDVD" as well as "export" into a quicktime movie. Resultant files are movie and soundtrack. I bring into iDVD. Sound plays in iDVD. Burn dvd from iDVD, no sound on dvd.
C'mon, the instructions are there, the menus are there. Apple can't expect us to "import into iMovie, match movie and soundtrack" or "burn using disk utility" or otherwise do anything other than take a keynote and make it in to a dvd.
Worst case, can I just burn a CD or DVD that automatically plays the keynote with sound and doesn't have the cool DVD Menu?
Again, sorry for the "same old question", however I have not found a fix that worked nor do I believe that Apple means for this to be so difficult.
For those experts out there that have seen this question before, I really have spent a significant amount of time researching the problem and haven't found a fix that worked or an official response from Apple.
Thanks again.

I am not running this on an intranet, I am creating a video for my students and posting it to my Internet web page. So if I were to post the keynote file itself, 4/5 of my students would be unable to open it because they don't have Macs. Some do not even have desktop computers and view stuff on their smart phones. I solved the issue, at least partially, by saving the presentation as html and posting it to my site that way. It works but it is a bit buggy. Would still rather make it into a movie.

Why is my iPhone 4gs dropping sound since 7.1 update?

No such model exists, therefore there is no problem.
Seriously though, clean the dock connector and headphone jack. Lint/debris in either can cause problems.

Dropping sound in text chats

For a few months my iChat has been dropping sound in text chats. The new message, message sent, etc. sounds are dropping (or being sent to some unknown output device). I can't figure out where/how to fix this...and it's getting worse.
Now when iChat tries to make a sound and iTunes is playing BOTH will crash! This is INCREDIBLY annoying. There is also a popping or clicking going on...through the speakers.
Console:
Oct 20 12:42:16 BigMac crashdump[462]: coreaudiod crashed
Oct 20 12:42:18 BigMac crashdump[462]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/coreaudiod.crash.log
Oct 20 12:42:21 BigMac crashdump[461]: iChat crashed
Oct 20 12:42:22 BigMac crashdump[464]: iTunes crashed
Any ideas?

Hi Demetrios,
Ok there will be more info in Console
Go to the Logs icon top left.
USe the Reveal Triangle on ~/Library/logs
Open the Crash Log
Open the iTunes and iChat Crash logs.
See if there is any similarities in the info contained in them. Thread 1 and Binary Images are the place to look.
It looks like you should also look at the CoreAudio crash log. It looks like this is where the problem lies.
This may be sorted by resetting the Micorphone choice in System Preferneces > Sound > Input tab and the Volume setting in the same Preference paene but > Sound Effect tab (for Alerts).
You may have to delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
This is found in Hard drive/Library/Preferences
This is the Library you see when you can see the Applications folder, the System Folder and Users folder when you click on your Hard drive icon or use a Finder window to navigate to it.
The computer may need to be restarted after this.

Set default import format when drag and drop sound file into multitrack view?

I've looked around the preference panels but cannot find where to set the import settings for dragging and dropping sound files into multitrack view. Some of our computers have correct settings and others do not. Thanks for your help!
G

I should have been more specific, sorry... I mean bit depth and bit rate... On some machines this defaults correctly and on other machines it is wrong. Not sure how to set these to downconvert properly by default. Unless it automatically takes the format of the source file, in which case it's just been luck.
Thanks,
G

Audigy 2 ZS Value dropping sounds in Dawn of

I recently purchased an Audigy 2, and upon installation, Dawn of War no longer played unit sounds. Prior to this I had a SB Li've Value under which sounds play perfectly.
All other sound effects and music play normally, its only Unit acknowledgments, taunts and the like. The DOW community hasn't acknowledged this as a problem since only one other person has reported the error. Any idea?

A few things for you to think about are PCI latency and the type of sound the game uses. The older SB Li've Value doesn't do in-game EAX effects in hardware like a ZS or regular Audigy 2, but in software like onboard solutions do - which is why in most situations onboard always usually sounds ok but if you turn on EAX you get some CPU overhead. I would try disabling EAX (in game) if you're using it and see if there is any difference, and also check out the PCI latency tool and if your soundcard is 32 by default try raising it to 64. To be honest i'm not really sure there is actually a "ZS Value" but i know there is a regular "audigy 2 value" (which has a smaller PCB footprint). Dropping sounds can also be caused by not having a PCI card - most especially a sound card that's not in an optimal PCI slot IRQ wise (you might be sharing and IRQ with another device) - not that it always causes issues because usually it doesn't but sometimes does. I know i have had to move a few soundcards to different PCI slots for various reasons.

IDVD Distorted Sound

Have created a 50 minute video with background music and it previews great in iMovie, click on create a DVD project and it previews with badly distorted sound in iDVD ??? Any ideas why ?
Have a PowerBook G4 with DVD drive.
Previously I made a Magic Movie direct from camera with same original tape and it worked OK, now I having edited it in iMovie I have this problem.
Also, an error message appears "Your project exceeds the maximum allowed content duration. You will not be able to burn your DVD while your Encoder Setting is Best Performance. This can be changed in your iDVD Preferences."
How can this be when video is just 50 minutes long and DVD+RW is 120min?

Hi Peter
Can there be sound outside/extending the movie track ?
Does Your super-drive support DVD+ ?? my only DVD- !
Try making a disc image and see if this runs OK.
or
Probably You have used the function - Share to iDVD - from within
iMovie. Try another way.
a) Close iMovie
b) find the project icon/folder
c) Ctrl-click on it and Show package.
d) in this there are a folder -> Shared Movies -> iDVD
e) in this there are a QT movie nnnnnnn.mov
f) drop this into an open theme in iDVD and save it as a desktop image
(if iDVD prior HD/5 You have to add a hack to make this possibly
named HPfurz and install it)
Test this with Apple DVD-player - OK then burn it with iDVD
or Toast if You have and dont want to re-code the movie.

IPhone makes a random water drop sound through out the day. All notifications are turned off? Not sure what the cause is.

My iPhone randomly makes a sound like a drop of water into a puddle. I've turned off all notifications and it till does it. Any suggestions?

Do you have an app called Life360?
See this thread: My 4s started making this strange sound like a ping/water drop! What is it?

How do you resize a photo in an iDVD drop zone?

The themes in iDVD are virtually useless if you can't easily drag a photo into a drop zone and move and resize as necessary. Using the method described in iDVD is ridiculously cumbersome but what's worse is that it doesn't work.
Does anyone have a suggestion for making this task easier? Does anyone know of better software that would replace iDVD?
This problem has been around for years. It's unbelievable that Apple allows the problem to continue.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply - I've just gotten around to playing with this some more and as you mentioned, I'm now creating a new image in Photoshop that repositions the image so that it places well in the iDVD template (soft frame in this case). Extra work, and it appears to be effective in the iDVD interface, but when I burned a test DVD the images were scaled differently in the final render to disk.
I'm not trying to do anything out of the ordinary here - just want to burn a DVD of my baby boy for the grandparents. This is precisely the type of use iLife is aimed at... But something as simple as putting a picture of my son on the DVD menu took the extra step of composing in Photoshop in order to have his head not cropped ridiculously. Now even that extra work is altered on the DVD.
I'm new to iDVD and might just need to work with it some more, but so far it just seems wrong and inconsistent with the rest of iLife to not have this flexibility.

Apple TV dropping sound

Hi all,
There seem to be lots of variations of this question around at the moment, but I'll start afresh. My Apple TV2 is connected wirelessly to a Belkin router. The ATV is connected to the TV via HDMI and to a standalone (ie: not blu-ray/DVD player) surround sound system vie optical.
Without touching anything, the sound can play through the TV and surround system at the same time, I can choose which one I want to listen to, but without warning it will stop playing through the selected one, but play happily through the other, or vice versa, but sometimes nothing at all. Rebooting doesn't seem to help, but I can go away, come back later and all's well again.
Sometimes the connection through the HDMI lead will die on me - both picture and sound. I've tried 3 leads now and a friend has exactly the same problem, which makes me think it's not a hardware problem.
Just gets really annoying when you're 5 minutes from the end of a movie and there's no sound!!
Any pointers appreciated.
thanks
Trev

Bizarre things was that last night I was at a friends house setting up their Airports for a garden party (I leant them 2 of mine that I reset to default then customised for circumstances) - they have similar setup as me, no apple TV but newer iMac and BT Home Hub 2 Router - I set up 3 Airport Express's to join their network all fine got green lights, but then same thing happened - continual drop outs in music especially when people were walking in the front door which is near where their router is, embarrassing, as I had to go back to my trusty iPod and leads:( rebooted everything too.
I'm leaning towards the problem being the last iTunes update, around the iPad launch.
Weird though as not many other people experiencing this as I have spent time searching here.

Keynote dropping sound when rendering to video

I am running Keynote 6.5 on the Yosemite 10.10.1 operating system in a MacBook Pro 1TB HD with 16 GB of Ram. I am having the problem of sound completely dropping off after about 2 minutes and 6 six seconds when exporting a slideshow to video. The operating system has been replaced and reinstalled, Keynote was deleted and reinstalled and I duplicated the problem on my second MacBook Pro.
After all of this it has been determined to be an Engineering issue and happens to be a problem that is apparently affecting Keynote on all MacBook's, at least within the sated system preferences.
Does anybody have any advice or knowledge pertaining to this matter? Or know when Apple may resolve the issue?
James

we tried the custom settings being adjusted and leaving them as it is.
Therefore you did not use custom settings?
I currently have 10.10.1 with Keynote 6.5 and 10.9.5 with Keynote 6.2.2, both these versions export without issue to Quicktime when using custom settings.
This is an example of a custom QT export for HDTV 1080p:

Dropping sound

Hi All!
I have tried many times to export an aif from a nested sequence. It’s about 30min long and all of the sound was recorded from one camera. For some reason it keeps dropping out in a few places? Always the same place no matter how I export it? The majority of the 30min is perfect.
When I play the nest in the FCP timeline all sound is there. When I open the nest in FCP all the sound plays there too. Everything seems to be 48Khz 16bit.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Mixdown your audio. This is always the thing do before exporting and outputting to tape.

IMovie idvd - no sound

I burned my movie via One Step idvd directly from my camcorder. Sounds was present but no audio on the dvd movie.
Help.

Hi Steve:
Read through these completely and see if anything applies to your set-up(both are still valid for iDVD 6):

IDVD NO SOUND

I know this topic has been covered before, but I don't think anyone has found a solution. I have created a school video in iMovie. JVC video camera set on 16 bit. If have used this same format many, many times. I set my chapters and then send it to iDVD and load the theme. Burn a DVD. The menus have sound but the video doesn't. I try to save it as a disk image and play through DVD player, same result!! All software is up to date. I am using iLife 06.
Any Help Please, Thanks

I am using an external USB 2 fantom drive 120 ....
Use ext. Firewire only and I bet you'll have much better luck here (especially when it comes to iMovie and iDVD6).
Could it be the external drive? ........ Yes. (altho your ext. Fantom 120 HD may have support under Mac OSX, it is not really suited for use with iMovie nor iDVD6 which make exclusive use of FW).
Apple's top end /Pro Apps support ext. USB however iMovie & iDVD are not nearly as cooperative with anything USB.
iLife'06 is consumer based and centered on use of Firewire. iPhoto & iTunes are the only iLife'06 exceptions that come to mind that make efficient use of USB.
Hope this Helps.

Phone drops sound in middle of call.

My 8310 dropped the sound in the middle of a call. What i mean is, I was talking to someone and all of a sudden i couldn't hear them at all. Dead silence. It is still that way. I can hear a phone call if I put it on speakerphone, but otherwise nothing. I can't figure out how it happened or how to fix it. The calls are connected, I just can't hear anything. Does anyone know what this is?

Welcme to the Suppot Frums!
