IDVD halts after encoding videos but before audio

I have made many iDVD's of our travel pictures, including both pictures and videos. However, my current iMovie won't complet e the process and always stops after encoding the videos but does not encode the audios. At that point, the gumball just sets there and spins for many hours (overnight, etc.) and when using the "force quit" the drop down says iDVD not responding" in red. I have tried about 5 times with no result. Any suggestions as to what I should do will be appreciated. Thank you. R. L. Anderson, M.D.

Hang in there. This is "Normal." In fact, contrary to what the computer is telling you, the computer is processing the audio.
Adding audio to your iMovie causes this problem. There are two work arounds.
1. Export your iMovie back to your camcorder, then input the movie back into a new iMovie, add your chapters and export to iDVD. The audio encoding may hang up but it will only be for a few minutes.
2. Export iMovie as a Quicktime movie, then reimport the Quicktime movie to iMovie, add chapters, export to iDVD.
If you search this the iDVD forum for "audio encoding" you'll see loads of messages on this topic.

FLVPlayback - Video but no Audio

I'm building a flash projector who's main purpose is to play video.
Everything was working great, but occaisionally the video player showed video but no audio. It did this inconsistently - sometimes it would work, sometimes it didn't, and the volume always reported back as "1"
Here is some of the excerpted as3 I've written:
flv_player.height = 720;
flv_player.width = 1280;
flv_player.x = 0;
flv_player.y = 0;
flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
flv_player.source = my_source; // (variable string containing path to f4v file)
addChild(flv_player);
// ======= //
flv_player.play();
flv_player.seek(desired_s); // number
for now, I've fixed the problem by throwing in a half second wait using setInterval, after adding the child and starting the player (where // ===== // appears above
What bothers me about this fix is:
A) there's a half second of sitting on black and
B) I don't know why it's not working or why a wait fixes it.
I tried waiting to play until the fl.video.VideoEvent.READY event fired from the the FLVPlayback object, but no dice.
Any ideas out there?

I did come up with a solution, and it seems to work, though it's not as elegant as I'd like. I now add the FLVPlayback component (set to auto start playing), and set an interval to check if it's started playing every 33 ms (or roughly every frame). Once it/s 200ms in, I presume the video and audio are muxed and I can seek. Here's some excerpted code from my MovieClip class:
//adding flvplayback
                              flv_player.height = 720;
                              flv_player.width = 1280;
                              flv_player.x = 0;
                              flv_player.y = 0;
                              flv_player.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
                              flv_player.source = my_source;
                              flv_player.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, on_complete);
                              addChild(flv_player);
                              // right now, it's going to check to see if the video is playing.
                              my_interval = setInterval(start_playing,33);
private function start_playing():void
                              // if the video is 200ms in, we'll presume the audio is muxed and will start the show!
                              if (flv_player.playheadTime > 0.2) {
                                        clearInterval(my_interval);
                                        my_interval = new uint();
                                        flv_player.seek(my_in_point);

Impoting video but no audio when played back.

Never had trouble with IMovie before until now.
Trying to transfer home videos from a regular dvd.
When I play the clips, I get the video but no audio. If I open up another window (could be anything outside IMovie) I get the audio.
If I switch back to the IMovie window, no audio. I have my dvd player connected to a converter because I have an 8mm camcorder. Also, whenever I switch from edit mode to camera mode, IMovie crashes (sometimes). My converter is a Canopus ADV 110.

Try downloading the free program MPEG Streamclip. (Just Google it.) Drag your clip into the window of Streamclip, pull down the Streamclip File menu, and click on Convert to aiff, or something like that.
Likely your problem is that your clip contains an audio format or mixed material that is incompatible with iMovie. That's why it plays elsewhere but not in iMovie. Streamclip should be able to convert it to an aiff file, which works well with iMovie.

Video, but no audio? - one solution

I have a 20" Intel iMac, and am running all the latest software updates, including QuickTime. I have been very frustrated trying to watch the keynote today and have been getting video but no audio. After trying many different things, including downloading and installing QuickTime again, I was getting nowhere. I called my son-in-law, who is an ex-PC guy and is now HUGE into all things Apple, suggested that I start up GarageBand, open a file, then quit the application and try the keynote again.
It worked ! So I thought I would share this solution on the forum and maybe help others.

Hy,
I had the same problem has you had.
Then I followed your clue, installed garage band, opened a new project and quicktime started singing again
It seems to me like it's a windows's like behavior!!!
Now I have garage band installed, and I really didn't want it to fill up my hard drive
But thanks for the head's up!
Cheers.

HT201177 I have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDIC. I have good video, but no audio. Can anyone help?

I have have my macbook pro hooked up to my Samsung tv via HDMI. I have great video but no audio from TV. Only what is coming out of my computer,
Never mind, I lreferenced some other posts with the solution. Thanks anyway!

Only MacBook Pro's from mid-2010 onwards support audio through the mini-DisplayPort. You will need to hook up a cable from the headphone socket to the TV.

YouTube is silent. Video but no audio. What can I do? FireFox 5

FireFox 5, June 2011 plays YouTube video but no audio.
Volume set at maximum. What can I do besides returning to FireFox 3 or Internet Explorer?

Hi.
Sometimes, even if your computer's volume is set at maximum, the volume of a particular application (such as Firefox) might be muted.
Please check the [[No sound in Firefox]] article.
I hope that helps :D

Apple TV video but no audio

I get video but no audio.

My research is leading me to this so far;

This discussion refers to the HDMI issues rather than the Apple TV product? Anyone else with any ideas?

Quicktime plays video but no audio

Trying to play Quicktime videos from Prentice Hall website associated with textbook. Browser has up-to-date Quicktime plug-in and when tested there is video and audio. But when video is played from selected website, there is video but no audio. Tested using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox but results are the same.

Jacumba,
Here is the link that the professor provided -
http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_martin_audiology_11/194/49692/12721280.cw/index.htm l
The instructor tried on the computer in the classroom that she uses and I also tried it on the computer in my office. ON that website are different QuickTIme videos embedded in the different chapters. Clicking on the QuickTime link (box), the QuickTime logo appears, then the image appears but when Play is pressed, the video plays but there's no evidence of audio. The volume control on the QuickTime movie is at maximum and I have the volume on my computer at maximum, but there's no sound whatsoever. LIke I said, I have the latest QuickTime plug-in and when I test the plug-in, I get video and audio.
I'm trying to find out an answer for the professor because she uses the website in her course.
Any suggestions would be most welsom.

Good Video But Terible Audio

I have just got a Phillips SPC900NC USB web cam, I have got the iChatUSBCam 2.1 & Macam.0.9.0 software to make it work with iChat.
I get great video but the audio is very choppy and the spoken words are indistinguishable.
Can anyone help me to get it right?
Ive also tried Skype but cant get the video to work, I did get it to work once but again the audio was indistinguishable or not even there when the video was.
If people can help me on the iChat first as that is what i will be using to talk to my parents.
Thanks
Adrian

HI Adrian,
The original specs did say
iSight, Any Firewire DV Ouput Camcorder and Firewire web Cams
Eccam gave the option of External USB cams
Most of these are Web cams but the utility works for some camcorders that don't export in DV as well as those that use USB.

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

Rodney
I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
or
b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
Thank you.

Apple iPhone Credit Purchase after 8/22 but before Price Cut

Does anyone know how you get a credit if you bought your phone after August 22 but before the price drop? I thought that the phone credit was higher if you bought after August 22 but before the price drop. Do you have to go into Apple Store as nothing is available on line.

Apple has a price protection
http://www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit/priceprotection/
Terms and Conditions for Price Protection
iPhones purchased from Apple and invoiced to you from August 22, 2007 through September 4, 2007, are eligible for price protection. The deadline for price protection claims is September 19, 2007. You must file your price protection claims at the Apple store (Apple Retail or Apple Online Store) where you purchased your iPhone. If you do not file your claim for price protection by September 19, 2007, you may submit a claim after that date for a $100 Apple Store credit via the procedure outlined at www.apple.com/iphone/storecredit. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, that procedure’s restrictions against claims for iPhones purchased between August 22, 2007, and September 4, 2007, will not apply if you have not made a claim for price protection by September 19, 2007.

Video but No audio when playing from ITunes. What could be wrong?

I'm trying to play video from iTunes on my Apple TV. I get the video but no audio. I am able to view from Netflix fine. What could be the problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try adjusting the audio out and dolby digital settings.

Have you ever had video, but no audio in FCP?

I had a friend digitize footage(as uncompressed 8bit) for me on his mac at work. When I import the clips into FCP there is video, but no audio. Audio does indeed exist because you can here it if the clips are opened in Quicktime. Any ideas on getting the audio to play?
Thank You Very Much!!!

Welcome to the forum!
What codec is the clip? If its a muxed MPEG clip, you'll need to demux/convert it to an editable format prior to importing into your FCP project.
To find out what codec was used to make the clip, open it in QT and hit Command j, then click on 'Video Track' to see the specs.

QT + MPEG-2 plays video but no audio

I'm trying to play mpeg-2 videos that were created by my video camera. I've got QT 10.0 running on OS X 10.6.4. I found QT didn't recognize .mpg, so I purchased the mpeg-2 playback component. With it installed, I can now view my .mpg videos but they have no sound. What am I doing wrong?
I'm a apple rookie, be gentle

Just to document what I've found so far. I tried installing QT 7, the MPEG-2 addition from apple again. It would still play video but no audio. Unfortunately, the test mpeg-2 from apple support DID work, which indicated I must have something wrong with my file. However, this is one of 250+ files I have recorded from my digital camcorder and they play on any number of Windows players without issue.
I then tried Perian codecs since I found references it would address a similar problem. I tried VCD and MPEG Tools from BurningThumb. I tried mpeg screenclip. I also tried changing my Audio Midi setup to 2ch-16 bit from 2ch-24 bit. All to no avail.
In the process I found that my .mpg files and .avi files had the same problem. Both played video fine but neither had audio. I then installed VLC and presto! All worked as they were supposed to!
I still don't know why QT won't play it--it seems like it should.
