IDVD6 stops on Audio

I built a Imovie project using Ilife6 and inported AIFF tracks from Itunes7 onto the time line. The project was about 53 minutes and I used 15 music tracks when I preview the project it works fine but when I try to burn it either staight to DVD or as a disc image the project stalls at rendering audio and the spinning ball spins for hours but no error message. I have done quite a few projects in the past and have had no problem, I droped the movie file into Toast 7 and burnt it with out any problem. Not such good Start themes.
Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

i'm having the same problem and i have let it run
overnight but nothing changes
This is a problem that Apple has had for about 6
months now. My 3 hour + Imovie project with around 60
Itune songs took about 50 hours to burn. Be prepared
to wait. Put on the Activity Monitor and watch the
IDVD activity. If it shows activity then you just
have to wait and wait and wait.
P.S. Sometimes the activity monitor shows IDVD not
responding, Thats o.k.

Really wait? For 3 days?
That's how long I gave it... iDVD 06 running on a 1 GHz G4 eMac with 768 RAM.
I have just deleted the preferences and and encoded assets and am giving it another go. Weird thing is I burned this project (24 minute slideshow with background music) once and it worked fine. Not sure how long it took cause I started it before I went to bed and it was ready the next morning. But then I switched a couple of slides and tried it again and no joy.
I have also burned a couple of trial runs with my Pismo (550 MHz G4, 1GB RAM, both using 10.4.7) and while it took awhile, neither was over 5-6 hours tops.
Anyone have a good idea on what exactly the problem is? iDVD encodes the video but why so much of a problem with the audio?
I'll report back on this last burn.

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • AIR 3.3 stop background audio when another audio app is launched?

    I currently have audio playing in the background in my AIR app for iOS. My problem is that when you have the audio playing in the background, and you launch any other audio app on your phone...the audio starts to overlap because my AIR app does not stop playing audio. So when you open Pandora, Music, IHeartRadio, Youtube, etc...the AIR audio still plays.
    Is this fixed in the AIR 3.3 release with the <executeInBackground> tag? Or is there another way for my AIR app to recognize that another audio app is launching? All the afformentioned apps play nice together like that.
    I would think this would be grounds for not being accepted in the iTunes store.
    I really need some answers because my app is set to go live soon and this will be a game changer if I cannot fix it. I will probably have to try and create it in objective C
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -- I posted this in the wrong place last night and meant to post it here. --

    Thanks a lot for the reply!
    It is very unfortunate that there is not a solution to this. It seems that building an audio/music player app via AIR for iOS is not really feasable due to this limitation.
    I would think the use case would be larger for my case because typically, when you launch a game on your iPhone, the background audio application stops the music. Or maybe just have a listener that could detect if another app was launched at least, so you could stop your AIR audio by choice. That would be great.
    Do you see this as grounds for an audio app being rejected? If the background audio does not stop unless you physically go back into the app and pause it?
    Thanks.

  • Stop/Start Audio on Multiple Objects in Cp6

    I've used Vish'sYouTube tutorial, "Using Play Audio Action" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52x5sgbzrgc), to set up three smart objects that play and stop audio on mouse click. It works great. However, as it's now configured, the user must click once to start the audio, once to stop the audio, and then yet again to start the audio on another object. This doesn't seem all that user friendly.
    I'd like to set it so while audio from one object is playing, the user can click another object that will stop the currently playing audio and start the audio for the newly clicked object.
    I'm sure this is pretty easy to do with advanced actions, but I just can't figure it out. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
    Thanks.
    Dan

    You are correct that it's not very elegant.  But at the moment, almost nothing about HTML5 is 'elegant' when you compare it to Flash-based output.
    In SWF content you can have multiple audio tracks playing at the same time.  You can have a background track, a slide voiceover, AND a click or some other sound happening when the user interacts with the content (object-level audio).  In HTML5 currently you can only have one audio file playing at a time.  Another limitation of the genre.

  • Drive Stopped Burning Audio Discs

    My Disc drive (G5 3 years old) seems to have stopped burning Audio discs using Toast. It seems to be doing data discs ok, but it appears domestic and computer players will now no longer accept my audio discs (Even both my Macs). Its always worked fine in the past and nothing has really changed to my system. Is this the sign of an ageing drive and do I therefore need a replacement? Is there anything I can do? I have tried burning different speed settings.
    Thanks folks

    If the G5 is also having trouble reading the discs it sounds as if the drive is producing really bad burns. Having either the cd or dvd side of things stop working properly is a classic sign of a drive on its way out. The drive begins to produce burns with much higher error rates, and more serious kinds of errors, than usual. All drives produce errors with each burn, but it's the kind of error and intensity of the error that matters. Drives have built in error correction circuitry that can handle the most common error type as long as they are below a certain level. Older drives often begin to either produce much higher error rates that the reading drive can't compensate for, or produce a non-correctible type of error. To make matters worse, the number of errors depends not only on the drive, but the relationship between the drive and disc being used. Each drive has firmware written to tell the drive how to write to different brands of media. Apple rarely updates the firmware on their drives, so after a few years the drive has to guess the writing strategy for each disc and this too can lead to high error rates. And to confuse things even further, companies that sell discs rarely make them, but buy them from oem manufacturers. So one batch of say TKDs may be Optidisc and another CMC and you have no way of knowing by just looking at the disc- you are thinking you are using the same discs but aren't.
    So one or more of these factors is giving you burns so bad that the drive the disc was burned on is having trouble reading it, and that's a very bad sign. I would suggest from my experience with many drives that a drive behaving as yours is - one that is 3 years old - should be replaced. A new drive will only run you about $40, it will have new firmware allowing it to work with current discs, and should be faster also.
    If you have access to a pc there are actually a number of programs that will allow you to test the discs and see what type and how many errors the burn has produced (I find this one of the few redeeming values of PC's). These programs are invaluable in situations like yours, and as I said, from my experience, the programs usually indicate with your symptoms very high error levels or errors that cannot be corrected.

    Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.

  • Logic stopped playing audio

    Hello everybody, this is a vital question.
    After the latest security update, logic stopped playing audio. After a short debug I discovered that core audio doesn't show any external interface anymore, so any other song is affected. I dont know if the security update is related... Anyways Logic is gone and my songs too!!!
    Audio-Midi configuration, as well as the interface related control panels, work as expected and audio is correctly played by the finder. All other software which makes use of core audio (e.g. Bias Peak) works.
    My interfaces are AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra and, for this testing purposes, M-Audio Audiosport Duo (legacy), all with the latest drivers.
    Obviously my Logic is officially bought from the App Store.
    MacPro (late 2007) 7GB RAM 2 x 2,66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
    Mac OS X 10.7.5 (latest update)
    Logic Pro 9.1.8 (1700.67) 32 bit (latest update)
    AVID M-Audio Fast Track Ultra with 2.2.2 firmware (latest update)

    Hey icedj,
    I had that happen. I had to trash my Logic prefs, then restart Logic. It's a P.I.T.A. because you lose various settings (color settings, for instance), but it fixed the problem for me.

  • Stop the audio in a widget via button?

    I have a slide that contains the timeline widget. I've setup the slide to pause the audio when the widget appears so the user can then click on the timeline events. Each event has an audio clip assigned to it that corresponds to text that appears in the widget.
    To resume the slide I have a button setup but I would like the button to stop the audio playing in the timeline widget if it hasn't ended yet when it's clicked. Otherwise the timeline widget audio will be playing at the same time as the audio for the slide.

    DId you try out the work flow, or do you have more questions? I answered this pretty late from my phone, perhaps not very detailed.
    The Play audio command can play only one audio clip at the same time. If you repeat that command with another clip, the first clip will be automatically stopped, no need to use the 'Stop Triggered Audio' in that case.
    Audio can also be attached to objects, and then the rule is that audio plays when object appears (whether timed or by an action) and stops when object disappears.
    Audio Objects: Control them! - Captivate blog   explains some techniques for audio.

  • On iMac 2011 stopped working audio output.

    On iMac 2011 stopped working audio output.
    Is it possible to transmit a signal through the audio input?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Stop video audio when jumping to another label?

    Hey there I have a video with audio (showing within a "videoHolder" object) at one label, but when I click a back button to go back to the main menu at another label, the video disappears but the audio still plays.
    ie the video label is...
    var vid = sym.$("videoHolder");
         vid.html("<video width='600' height='400' controls= 'controls' preload='auto' autoplay='autoplay' poster='video/medicationAlliance.jpg'>" +
    "<source src='video/medicationAlliance.mp4' type='video/mp4' />" +
    "<source src='video/medicationAlliance.webm' type='video/webm' />" +
    "<source src='video/medicationAlliance.ogg' type='video/ogg' />" +
    "</video>");
    whilst the main menu is...
    sym.stop();
    Is there anyway to stop the audio playing at the main menu?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm having a similar issue...
    a bit of newbee as well..
    i have poster... when you click on it... go to another part of the timeline... The video in the videoholder loads up. I have an action script....this works great...
    // sym.$("name") resolves an Edge Animate element name to a DOM
    // element that can be used with jQuery
    var element = sym.$("stealin2");
    element.html('<video width="715" height="382" \
    src="http://www.richardburnschannel.com/storage/stealinmovieLarge.mov" \
    type="video/mp4" controls="controls" \
    ></video>');
    above the videoholder, I created a graphic box with an x for stopping the video.
    I create a trigger so the when you click on the X the action goes back start location where the videoholder is gone. Thus, back to the poster.  However, the video continues to play.  Here's the trigger i use, which works to get rid of the videoholder but not stopping the audio in the video.
    // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
    sym.play("start");
    I've tried a bunch of these solition but no luck..

  • Shuffle 2 stopped playing audio podcasts

    Hi. I have a Shuffle 2nd generation that just stopped playing audio podcasts. I've been listening to music and OTR and CBC Radio podcasts, and all of a sudden it stopped playing the podcasts. Music plays fine, but if I just load it with podcasts, and try to play them, my little light just blinks (saying "you don't have anything loaded!"). It still plays the music, but skips over each podcast.
    The podcasts are good. I used to play the exact same ones a month or two ago - then it just stopped playing them. I can listen to the podcasts on Itunes, and can listen to them on my old Shuffle 1st generation.
    Help!

    ooh, I did a bit more research and found a solution for my problem.
    iPod shuffle won't play podcasts if its in shuffle mode.  You have to switch it to linear mode.
    I did that and now it plays just fine.  Hopefully that's all that was wrong with yours as well.
    I must have accidentally switched mine by accident and not realized it.

  • Logic stops passing audio after a few hours

    Here's the setup:
    iMac G5 1.9Ghz, MOTU 828mkII, Logic Express, 10.4.4 (i think)
    I am using logic to process audio for a theatrical production. I am using two channels in and two out. The problem is, when a track has been record enabled for a long time (several hours to a day or so) it stops passing audio. Ideally I would like to just leave it as is for the run of the show (about a week) but currently the tracks need to be rearmed before each show. Is this a normal limitation in logic?
    The only thing I can think of is that it might be caused when the screen goes to sleep (although it doesn't happen every time, only when I come in the next day.) I do not want to leave the screen on for a week straight if I don't have to. Any ideas?

    If you've had it less tha 90 days, contact Apple support. If you have Applecare, you can talk with them for up to 3 years, but hopefully that's not needed. In the US call 800-275-2273.

  • How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

    Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
    How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

    I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
    On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
    Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
    here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

  • How do I stop my audio from changing pitch when moving it to another track?

    I read up a bit on the "Flex" settings, however, I can't seem to turn it completely off. The flex button is not engaged, however, when I move audio from one track to another, the pitch changes. How do I stop this completely?

    You have to disable it on the tracks themselves too. The 'main' flex button only turns on and off Flex view, and not flex itself.
    Flex view on, track flexed
    Flex view off, track flexed (or not?)
    Flex view on, track not flexed
