IDVD project won't play audio in media player

I created a movie in Final Cut Pro 6 and used iDVD version 7.04 to burn the video project. DVD player on my MAC plays it fine. When I try to play it in Windows Media Player, there is no audio, only video. In exploring the CD, there is an Audio TS folder with no files and a Video_TS folder with files. This is my first time using iDVD.

Welcome to the forums!
When I try to play it in Windows Media Player
Why are you using the defunct (no longer supported by Microsoft for the Mac) Windows Media Player?
You should be using the DVD Player on your Mac (which you say works), or a third-party player like VLC.
In exploring the CD, there is an Audio TS folder with no files and a Video_TS folder with files
I assume you mean the DVD and not a CD.
The Audio TS Folder will be empty unless you specifically burnt a Music DVD. The Video TS Folder contains all the files required to make up your DVD, i.,e. titles, chapter headings, the actual movie etc.
So it appears that everything is as it should be!

.3g2 files won't play in any media player

Hello.
Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks.

Did you try VLC?

I just purchased Premiere 13 and the video files won't play in Windows Media Player. I have audio but no video. What can I do? I have Premiere 12 and everything works fine with it.

What can I do?

Bonan
Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 64 bit
What are your export settings for this finished video from Premiere Elements 13?
For example - are you using
Publish+Share
Computer
AVChD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
or something different like
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
with Presets = MPEG2 1920 x 1080i30
or something different ....
We are going to have to get at your export settings which gets us to the properties of the finished video that you are trying to play in Windows Media Player.
If you take your finished video from Premiere Elements 13 and import that into a new Premiere Elements 13 project with Add Media/Files and Folders,
does it import into the new project. And, when the video is in the new project, does it display video and have audio in the Edit area monitor?
We need more details of the properties of the finished video. Knowing that you have no problems with this matter in Premiere Elements 12 and that
the finished video plays in CyberLink are important, but they do not help to figure out what is happening in 13 so that it does not happen again.

Dvd won't play on Windows media player

I have used idvd 6 to burn a final cut express movie onto a dvd. However, when I try to play it on my pc, it will not work. It works on a dvd player, but not Windows media player. Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks!

HI there, I am too having this issue, I have never had this problem before. I always test the dvd in my windows p.c. to make sure it is viewable. I forgot to do it this time, and low and behold when I gave it to a few people, they were also not able to view it. 2 pc's in my office keep saying that it is missing an mpg2 plugin so can not play. The other pc, it just keeps playing the main menu, there is nothing for them to click to view it. Now mine at home will not play either, it has no menus on the screen, but it plays the menu music. Now my p.c. is up to date so there should not be any reason it will not play. I have burned at 1x, verbatim disc's etc.. It plays fine on my Mac, but even there I have just noticed that I used to be able to click with the mouse on each title to play. Now I have to scroll on the menu, then play from the dvd player control. Any help would be appreciated. They have been playing on a TV with the player though, thanks as always, Ileen

After moving files to new iMac, an iMovie project won't play audio music tracks

I bought new imac. Transferred files using target disk method and firewire - drag and drop. All files appear to have moved OK to new imac. But when I try to resume working on an imovie project that I had started on the old imac, the itunes music clips I dragged into a series of clips does not play the music, even though the green bar appears under the clips and the audio adjustments appear to be the same as in the old imac, which I still have. The audio that is "built in" to the original clips when the videos were made on the camera are still there and play. Help, please ? Thanks.

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions

IDVD disks won't play in home DVD player. They used to

Hi, can you help
I'm using iDVD 5, iMovie 5, saving as disk image, mounting image and burning using Toast 6 to firewire LaCie D2 DVD burner. I have done this many times using same configuration, but not for a while. The disks created will play in the Mac, but not in the home DVD player.
I have tested the burner using a peecee and it creates other types of DVDs OK. This has got me stumped because I don't seem to be doing anything I haven't done before. I've tried different disks, cleaned the DVD player, everything. In addition I have tried burning disks from some old disk images I had saved from previous movie creations. Same result. Is the problem likely to be with Toast?

Still no luck. I have tried using some Verbatim -Rs and have the same results, if not worse, since the disks created won't mount in my Mac either.
In answer to klaus, yes the Mac does recognise the LaCie drive.
I'm starting to think the problem is with iDVD or iMovie since I have tried creating a disk image, copying to my Peecee, running through Shrink to generate a 'clean' series of Video_TS, Audio_TS folders, and burnt them from my peecee, which still doesn't work, even though I know that older and other movies play OK in my DVD player.

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?

How about some details on how you made the disc. What sort of media did the project contain? What brand and type of media did you use? What burn speed did you use?
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

IDVD burned discs won't play on any dvd player

When I burn a dvd using Idvd they will not play on standard dvd players.
Is this a problem with anyone else?
I noticed it was a problem in the early 2000-2003 but apparently something got fixed, because I couldn't find an incident where this problem continued to occur.
I am new to the Mac world and I don't always understand the acronymns used when I read responses. However, here is my problem.
Burning dvd's using Idvd:
1. the burn seems to run and function normally
2. when I insert the burned dvd into a dvd player one of the following things occur:
a) loading takes a very long time, then I get a message saying "wrong disc"
b) loading occurs fast, reads the file as a dvd, the dvd begins playing the music and showing the main menu screen, after accessing a menu option the dvd begins to play the slideshow with the music then after a minute or two, it freezes, and is no longer readable when attempting to reload it, the message is "wrong disc"
3. I've tried using dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd+r dual layer, and changing the burn speed to 8x, then to 4x and then to 2x. Nothing seems to matter.
4. I have noticed that in Idvd the dvd type is for an older version of dvd's such as single layer 4.2 gb and double layer 7.7 gb. I'm wondering whether the Idvd software on my MacMini is up to date, even though when I check for updates under the apple it comes back saying my system is up to date.
I'm using a MacMini running Mac OSX v 10.6.8 with processor 2.26ghz, Intel core 2 duo, memory 2gb 1067 mhz ddr3, and my dvd drive is a pioneer dvd-rw dvrts08, firmware q81f.
I really need help to fix the problem with the IDVD software or to know that I need to purchase another DVD maker software for my Mac. The product below says my Mac is running OS X v 10.7.2 but it isn't it is running v 10.6.8 as I stated.
URGENT!!!!

My macmini is under 2 years old. I reviewed your list of affects and I am going down the list to determine possible cause and effect.
I did try the PRAM process. The DVD still won't play on my DVD player but it did play on my son's Sony blue ray. I burned it at 2x burn rate after the PRAM process completed.
I can assume that's progress. The audio did however skip a couple of times while playing. That is new.
I will continue down the list using different type of blank dvd's etc.
Question: As I was reading through some other issues I'm learning that Mac/Apple is discontinuing IDVD, is that correct?
Are you aware of some other software to purchase that will create dvd's on the mac? If so, I may as well go that route rather than wasting more time using a defunct product. What is your opinion?

When I import a video I recorded to my laptop from my Iphone 5c it won't play on window media centre or vec or any medium. Please help??? It plays perfect on the phone.

The format from the phone is :
h.264 encoded video, AAC audio. Both standards of MPEG 4.
You need Windows Media Player version 12 or above to play MP4 (or add the codecs to your current version).

Installed iMovie 7.1 projects won't play/event clips will play-no volume

I just installed the iMovie 7.1 (506) update, and now I can't use the software at all.
1. My PROJECTS will not play at all. I can click on a clip and expand it (like I'm going to trim it), and play it from there... but I get no volume.
2. In the EVENTS window my clips will play, but I get no volume.
3. Even the iTunes music I put in the background on my projects won't play, so the sound issue is obviously not related to the clips.
Before I installed this new update, everything was working fine!
I've had nothing but problems since I bought iLife08 and installed iMovie. It's just not working. The previous update fixed all my problems (from the software out of the box), but I had to re-enter all the clips into new projects. Now this new update I did tonight has set me back again. This is costing me time. I've been trying to edit my trip to Europe... and this software is just not working.
HELP!!!!
Apple if you are reading these posts... your new update has problems! PLEASE FIX IT ASAP!
Also can you put a bug report on this software so I can let the developers know there is a problem.

Did you also install the iLife Support 8.1 upgrade? That upgrade is required, according to the iMovie 7.1 upgrade page.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ilifesupport81.html
Where it says this about iLife Support 8.1:
What’s New in this Version
This update supports system software components shared by all iLife ’08 applications, improves overall stability, addresses a number of other minor issues, and supports general compatibility issues. It is recommended for all users of iLife ’08.

Flash won't play audio. Please help!

To anyone who can help,
Flash won't play audio in Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc. Downloaded audio plays just fine but I can't stream any flash audio content. Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same problem on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. If I go to YouTube, I don't get audio. Other websites are fine (I'm not seeing a pattern on exactly which sites). What I had to do was uninstall Adobe Flash (I used the Adobe Uninstall utility). Now I have audio on YouTube, but now I'm getting a lot of 'missing plugin' messages from other websites. I've opened

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

How do I make iMovie projects play in Windows Media Player?

How do I make movies that I have created in iMovie play in Windows Media PLayer having been transferred by memory stick or email? This would be ideal to know because my school's computers are PCs and our main computer is an iMac.

By far the easiest way is to have the school install the free QuickTime Player (Windows Version) from Apple.
Otherwise, you can buy a version of Flip4Mac that will enable you to do the conversion using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip.
