Imac synchronization video/sound with airport

Hi all,
I just acquired an Imac and an airport express. My aiport express is conneected to my amplifier and my broadband.  
On the Imac, when I play a video, the image is not synchronize with the music !! there are 2-3 sec difference.
Did anyone experience sth similar? Did you find a solution? Would you reommend a cable connection between the Imac to the amplifier?
Thanks for your feedbacks.
Nico

Is it due to the codecs? ....

  • How to output surround sound with airport express N

    is this possible? I am streaming successfully with airport express, sounds great with no audio dropouts. I have it hardwired to my router and the AX is connected optical to my surround receiver. Music is only played through my fronts. Is there a way to output surround sound? I can't even choose different audio options through my A/V receiver.

    I Found out the problem. When I was hooking everything up, I kept the t.v. on so I can assign audio inputs with the onscreen display. If the T.V. is left on....only stereo outputted. When I turned the t.v. off and with the airport express plugged into AUX, I was able to switch between surround sound settings.
    so the moral of the story is, turn off video devices when you just want sound, especially if they are hooked up to the AVR with HDMI.

  • Video sound with no audio clip

    I want to be able to listen to the audio in my video clip. When I export it to any movie, it plays the movie silently. When I add an audio track it plays the video along with the music, but anything said in the video is silent. Is there a setting where I can change this? Thank you so much for you help.

    I have the same camera Canon FS100 (it was on sale)
    It took quite a while, but I found that "Super" would create a workable file for use with Premiere Pro CS4.
    Super   v2009.bld.35
    www.erightsoft.com/super.html
    There are possibly many ways to do it.
    One I found that worked well was to save it as
    mpg...    Mpeg-II...   mp2
    use FFmpeg
    720:480
    16:9
    29.97
    48000

    I looked at it - but I havn't tryed it yet.
    And P Pro CS4 was then able to edit the file.
    The issue is that the audio is AC-3  Dolby Digital
    and so far I can't get it to work with Ppro?
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac3
    PS if anyone knows of a better way to save the output files please let us know.
    I tried 100s of combinations to find one that worked.
    I don't claim that it is the best.
    I was just very happy to be able to use the software I played big bucks for and the camera I (already had)
    If I had bunches of extra money and an old tux laying around I would buy a better camera.....
    But for now it is the best I can afford.
    And I am enjoying learning the Adobe CS4 collection of software.
    It gives me something to do while I look for work.
    Good luck with your camera,

  • How to synchronize video camera with logic for recording?

    Hi guys,
    I have a Sony VX 2000 and logic pro.
    I'd like to do a multitrack audio recording of a musical theatre performance and simultaneously record video with two cameras.
    I want to record the sound into logic pro, that way I can mix the sound later (multitrack audio).
    At the same time I want to record video with the cameras.
    There may be 100 takes or more....
    What is the best way to synchronize logic with the video recording?
    I don't want to synchronize each audio take with each video take later, there must be an easiser way!
    Is it possible to start recording of video and audio at exact the same time?
    Do I need any additional hardware?
    Any feedback highly appreciated!
    Thanks Eddie

    Have the drummer make a 2 pop (click) at the beginning of every take.
    Set the camera to 16 bit audio and you can import the camera audio into Logic.
    Record multitrack into Logic at the same time.
    You can align the takes to the audible click.
    Sorry, It's the only thing I can think of,
    without having very expensive externally synced cameras.
    Logic doesn't record video, it plays it back.
    So making some type of slate is the way to go.
    It will be a pain to manually align all that stuff.

  • No sound with Airport Express and AirTunes

    Hi. I have an Airport Extreme wireless router. I recently extended the wifi network with an Airport Express. Both devices show "green" in Airport Utility and appear to be working fine. I then connected the Airport Express to a powered speaker.
    In iTunes on my MacBook Pro, I can select my Airport Express from the menu in the bottom right corner. When I play a song, however, no sound comes out of the speaker. I tried disconnecting the speaker and connecting a pair of earbuds directly into the Airport Express. Still no sound. Any ideas?
    As FYI, when I touch the Airport Express, I notice that it is quite hot on the sides. Is this normal?
    Thank you

    for the avoidance of doubt, did you +enable airtunes+ in the music tab of the AX's airport utility music tab ?
    As FYI, when I touch the Airport Express, I notice that it is quite hot on the sides. Is this normal?
    can't say it is for my two units. have you made sure your unit is placed in a well ventilated spot ?

  • Timecapsule and iMac Early 2008 - Problems with Airport Utility

    I have bought a new iMac and a TimeCapsule. With *Leopard 10.5.5* i have some problems to change the configuration. The Assistant will not work. The changed settings will not send to theTime Capsule (Ethernet or and Wireless). The airport signal is _very low_ under OSX (-60 — -64 dB). When I use airport with Windows XP on Bootcamp partition it will work fine. No problems with changing settings and the signal is -1 db.
    Who has the same problems or can help me!

    Do the black bars drop also at these times?

  • Imac internet not working with airport express

    Hi there,
    I purchased an imac for my upstairs bedroom, but the signal from the time capsule was weak, so I bought an airport express and set it up. But still I cannot connect to internet even though after running the network diagnostics say I am connected to internet. My macbook works perfectly in the bedroom with all airport bars working, but the imac still has only two bars. I've tried everything, help!!

    Same issue you have except I never connected the printer directly to my Mac via the USB. Went straight to the wireless Airport Base Station and connected the printer. Printer is found in "Printer Setup Utility" and connected via "Bonjour", unsure what that is. However the *"Printer Setup Utility"* is asking me to select: *"Print Using"* and giving choices such as CANON BJC-1000 - GIMP-PRINT v5.0.0 beta2. I am unsure what to select. And the printer still doesn't print even with one of these 20 choices selected. Any ideas from anyone?

  • Can the iPad play video sound to airport express

    Yes, it should work. It does for me.

  • Synchronize a sound with animation

    Hi,
    I've just learned this process in the Flash CS4 help manual (page 276), but unfortunately the sound track I placed in a movie clip timeline (used as a button OVER state) doesn't stop playing once I mouse away from the button.  So, I presume a simple myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, clickHandler) could allow me to execute a method in a function to stop the repeating sound.  Any ideas which method to use (considering that I have a main timeline sound track set as "start" synchronization that I want to keep running non-stop)?
    Regards,
    Ronald

    Actually, I've discovered (via testing) that Sync does a better job at Start and Stop in my situation.
    A google search tells me that what I'm trying to do does not work as described in the user manual.  Call this a bug, I suppose.
    I may try to do this in AS3 alone, once I'm through reading and understanding the programming manual.
    Regards,
    Ron

  • Video/Sound delay with AppleTV on higher resolutions

    I have a new Sony 55" RP SXRD HD TV (1080p max res), and just hooked up my AppleTV today. After syncing it with most of my video library and some of my music library, I tested the video appearance. My initial setting was 1080i, and I experienced major video/sound synchronization delays (similar to older DVD players where you'd hear what the person was saying 5-8 seconds before they said it on screen). This drove me nuts, so I switched down to 720p res, and while the movies played okay, the TV Shows and the Music Videos left much to be desired, and still had the same synchronization problems. To remove these issues, I finally changed the res down to 420p, but now, when I watch pretty much anything (photos, album art, TV Shows, Music Videos, and Movies), the resolution is horrible, and pixelates on my TV.
    I'm trying to pinpoint this to find out if it's the TV, the connection (HDMI), or the AppleTV. Can anyone offer some advice on what to look for, what might cause this issue, and how I could fix it? Thanks so much in advance!

    Sounds to me like it's a problem with upscaler. Does the Apple TV upscale? If it does, then it's the upscaler in the Apple TV and is probably a software problem that can be fixed with a firmware update. But it's weird that if it's a consistent problem with the Apple TV upscaler that these forums aren't just soaked in complaints about it. Could be only a problem with really large, say 46" or greater TVs -- that might explain the low number of complaints.
    If the Apple TV doesn't upscale, then it's the upscaler in your HDTV. Prior to about six months ago, when all HDTVs got good upscaler chipsets, some HDTVs, especially the older, larger models, had absolute trash upscaler chipsets -- even the expensive quality brand models got some bad upscalers. All kinds of problems from all input sources, but not always with every device. How old is your HDTV?
    For your sake, I hope it's an Apple TV upscaler problem with larger dimensioned HDTVs, as that Apple can fix for free with a firmware update. Next best choice is your terrible upscaler chipset in your HDTV supports firmware upgrades via USB or network cable and there is a firmware update out that fixes your HDTV's upscaler problems. Because the final, worst alternative, if there is no update for your HDTV available, or your model doesn't support firmware updates, it's the really bad option: drop another couple grand or more for a new HDTV of the same large dimensions.

  • Video Capture with the iMac

    Hi. Not quite a computer nerd so bear with me please
    I purchased a Kaiser Baas VHS to DVD video capture thingo the other day and really wanted to use it on my 20" iMac (at the time with Mac OS X Leopard) with my PS2. It's a Empia USB 2861 device? Am I right?
    So I installed the driver it came with connected it to my iMac, connected the PS2, opened up Empia capture (that it came with) and I got some nice video capture BUT NO SOUND! When I go into the sound settings of Empia capture, the device doesn't even come up in the source list. So went through a million forums on the net and discussions and couldn't find anything to help me.
    So then.... I looked at my beautiful new 13" MacBook with Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Plugged in the Kaiser Baas video capture device, installed it, connected my PS2, opened up Empia Capture and found some nice video capture AS WELL AS SOUND TO GO WITH IT! Perfect exactly what I wanted.... BUT on a 13" MacBook.
    I really want this all on my 20" iMac. So then I thought... maybe it was to do with Leopard and Snow Leopard, so thought I might as well upgrade to Snow Leopard on the iMac tisn't thaaaaaat expensive.
    But still doesn't work.....
    Anyone know what's going on?

    I have no idea how to help you, but I thought I'd point out that you posted your iMac question in the MacBook forum. <G> You may get more responses if you post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=132].
    Good luck!

  • Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

    I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
    When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
    Any ideas gratefully received?

    Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
    The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
    Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • Hard Drive for Time Machine for iMac with AirPort Extreme??

    I just switched back to Mac after too many years with a PC. I bought an iMac 24" 2.8GHz with 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 750GB Serial ATA Drive.
    I'm planning on adding an external hard drive for Time Machine to attach to my AirPort Extreme. From reading information posted on the Apple site and my AEBS I understand that it needs to be connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    While I may be opening up a technological "can of worms," I'd like to know what will be the most dependable drive 1TB, USB 2.0 that I can buy. Noise and bright lights are not a consideration here. I just want a drive that I can depend on to work with Time Machine. The "original" data will be stored elsewhere. I've heard of, read about and experienced so many hard drive failures that I'm getting "gun shy" about this subject. Please feel free to let me know what's good and bad. Thanks.

    Here is a quote right from Apple's site today:
    Quote:
    AirPort Extreme lets you turn your external USB hard drive into a drive you can share with all the >users on your network. It’s called AirPort Disk, and it’s a simple and convenient way to share files >among everyone in your family, office, or class.
    I tried to return my AEBS to Apple but I was a few days beyond their 14 day limit on returns (limit is bases on shipping date of the item in question, not when all parts of the shipment are received). Part of my reasoning with the Apple Store CS was the posts like yours saying that this couldn't be done. The Apple Store rep. and the tech. rep. that he claims that he spoke to said it could be done. The only way I could return the AEBS, according to the Apple Store CS rep., and get a new Time Capsule would be if I bought a hard drive and discovered that my AEBS would not work with the hard drive. No, I'm not a happy new customer. So, I want to buy a good, reliable hard drive and want to know which one to get.
