IMovie to iDVD audio problems

Hello,
I am using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.4). I have created a movie with mp3 audio files playing in the background with the clip volume at 0. The video clips are interspersed with some images every now and then as well as transitions. The movie plays quite well when i preview it in iMovie.
I then share the movie with iDVD (version 7.0.4). When I play the movie in iDVD, almost the entire thing plays perfectly except for this one little part. In that little part, audio from some clip starts playing along with the background music.
More things about my project:
1. I am using audio ducking only once, I know where it is in the timeline and it is working just fine
2. Where the problem occurs, I have looked if I might be doing something wrong in precision editor. Turns out I am not using precision editor on the clips where the audio problem occurs at all
3. All video clips around where the porblem occurs are at a volume of 0
I am confused. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In

Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

IMovie to iDVD, audio is scrambled.

Greetings
I have been using iMovie to iDVD for sometime now, though I am no pro, I have never encountered this type of issue. I have about 100 clips which I are now in iDVD. While verifying the clips and titles, etc., I played a few of my 12 chapters. I noticed that the audio was 'scrambled'; the audio can't be understood at all! Too weird. (There is no problem with the video).
Now I must admit that I am using different audio tracks than ever. For much of the video, I have set the 'main' audio to 25 or 50%, while the secondary audio has music, which is set to 50 to 70%.
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. And to clarify, 'yes' the audio and fades are great in iMovie.
Your help has always been helpful, I thank you now for your help in helping me figure this one out.
Martin

Martin,
Try going back to iMovie and use the command "extract audio"
This separates the audio and video in your DV stream. You should still be able to set volume controls. Then try again in iDVD.
Also check your audio (from the video) is it 16bit?

IMovie HD - Urgent Audio Problem!

I've been working on a video for my Chinese final and iMovie HD 5.0.2 has been working until now. No matter what I do, all of the audio is skipping. The audio I'm using is either embedded audio imported from my HD Video Camera, a music file, or a sound effect clip. The music and sounds are all .mp3.
The sound gradually started getting worse and now nothing I'm doing is making a difference. I can't find an update that will fix my problem. I've already ordered iLife 09 so I can use the newest version of iMovie, but I need this to work right now. This project is due tomorrow and it would have been done if not for the audio problems. Again, I have iMovie HD 5.0.2
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your help. I didn't realize I was so far behind on the iMovie series. I downloaded the newest one and it worked great as far as importing the video without bars. The video was from a Sony widescreen SD video camera and I used MPEG Streamclip to confirm the video was true 16:9 but for some reason iMovie HD just squished it to the right. Anyway, I noticed on the new iMovie it only has the option for 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. So is it not as good as iMovie HD even thought it's newer? Oh well, guess I'll cross that bridge when I get an HD camcorder.

IMovie to iDVD-audio, slides and videos stuff up

Possess a Powerbook G4, DVD burner.
Did a project using clips and video clips. Share it with iDVD. Tried previewing it.
Audio plays and stops intermittently. Clips do not move and show sequentially. Audio keeps playing and stopping intermittently but clips and videos did not play as sequenced in iMovie.

thanks, it did work later. Now there is problem with
opening it after being burnt onto a disc. I tried
opening it but there was a message that says
"An error occurred while loading the project. This
project seems to be write-protected and cannot be
opened."
what happened?
What are you trying to open?
If you are able to burn the disc, you surely had the project open.

IDVD audio problems

out of 25 dvds 3 work properly. My problems now are: the movie plays fine and then in sum spots my audio sounds garbled, I've tried different DVDs with same results, some work some don't. I have set the properties to encode "professional" with same resluts. I just need one good copy so i can take it somwhere else to burn a lot.

As I said, the setting in is iDVD preferences, not a project setting.
Go to the iDVD menu, and select Preferences.
Click on the 'Advanced' gear wheel icon.
There is a Preferred DVD burning speed setting drop down list, reduce the speed.

IPhoto Slideshow to iDVD - Audio problem

I created a slideshow in iPhoto and added music from iTunes. The slidewhow is about 40 minutes long and I set the length of the slideshow to match the music (about 10 songs). I shred the show from iPhoto to iDVD using the Share option. When I preview the slideshow in iDVD there is only 1 or 2 songs of audio depending on the time I shared it (I tried a few times). The slideshow keeps running, but with no audio. Any help is appreciated.
- Derek

You can get the songs you rip from your CD to export into iTunes by the following:
1. iTunes - Pref - Advanced - Import. Change import using to MP3.
Now all new songs you rip from CD will export with iPhoto
To correct those songs already in iTunes so they will export, do the following:
1. highlight song in iTunes Library
2. Toolbar go to Advanced - Click Convert Selection to MP3
3.Now you will have a duplicate of that song in your library. The one just added that you converted, add MP3 to title
4.Use MP3 song in your slide show.
5. Audio should export with photos.

IMovie to iDVD shimmering problem on DVD for some photos

Created iMovie with photos and some video. Created DVD. DVD on Mac shows shimmering on some photos as well as on TV DVD player. Have asked many trainers in London Covent Garden and Regent St for solution. The answers are not consistant just try different things. They also mention other products, Toast, Final Cut and FotoMagic. Is there a definitive way to make sure the iMovies can be created without shimmering (many snow, sunshine scenes). Or product that fixes problem. Thanks in advance. Don't want to buy product and still have problem.

For future reference, this is from iTunes Help.

Are there glitches in iMovie or iDVD that would create problems with viewing a finished project on a standard dvd player?

Everytime I render a new project in iMovie and share it with iDVD to produce a video, there always seems to be glitches in the finished project. I have gone back and tried to recreate the slideshow, but have not had a whole lot of luck. I am wondering if I need to delete the iMovie and iDVD applications from the computer??? If I do that will it fix my problem or will I even be able to redownload the programs without having to pay for them again? I have spent more time and $$$ trying to get a viewable disc to burn and am ready to get rid of the computer altogether. Hopefully that will not have to happen, but this is a constant issue that I go through everytime I work on a project. Any suggestions???

Hi
Yes and No.
There are Bugs and ways to make better or Worse DVDs - see if this can help.
There are two "Bugs" (or at least one)
• In iDVD - do not go back to video editing program - if You got Chapters set in Your movie - if You try - then now back in iDVD it will ask You to up-date ==> all Chapters will point to Chapter one. Medicine - create a brand new iDVD Project.
• There MUST NOT BE any Chapter mark set in very beginning of the Movie - or in any transition or within 2 seconds from them.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser ( AND AS MEDIUM - not HD etc as DVD then will suffer in quality ) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
Try to break the process up into two stages
• Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
• Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
To isolate where the problem starts.
Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
• Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
• Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
• No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
• and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
• and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start a brand new iDVD project
• Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
• Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show
• No File Vault on - Important
• NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
• Lot's of icons on DeaskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
• Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
• And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

IMovie audio problems when burning in Toast 6

Hi,
i've tried to burn an imovie project in idvd 5 but i get 'the error #-1 was reported' like most people have been and i've tried loads of things suggested to fix it with no joy.
I then sent the imovie project to toast titanium 6 where it burned fine. However, when i watched it i noticed that although toast had picked up all the audio (both dv audio and aiff), it did not pick up all the volume adjustments during the movie. how annoying! for example: i have an aiff clip that fades into a movie clip with the sound gradually going down but Toast picks up the sound staying at the same level. this also happens with volume adjustments in a DV file.
Any suggestions why this happens / how i can fix it?
Cheers,
Andy

Andy,
This question is really in the wrong place - this is the iDVD '08 forum and not the iDVD 5 forum.
From the description of your problem using Toast, it sounds like you didn't actually export a DV video movie out of iMovie.
Export a DV video movie out of iMovie (it will run 13 GB per hour) and play it back with the QuickTime Player to see if the audio settings you made are really there. If this movie plays OK, you can bring IT into iDVD or Toast for turning it into a DVD.
If the DV video movie you created STILL has audio problems in the QuickTime Player, ask you question about THAT issue in the correct iMovie forum.

IDVD 4 Audio problems

My audio works just fine in both iMovie, and iDVD. When I play the DVD I burned the audio works just fine for the menus, and slideshows. After playing a movie for about 00:01:30 the audio cuts off for the rest of the movie. Any ideas?

There can be some goofy audio problems. One recommendation is to Extract the Audio from your problem clip while in iMovie and see if this makes a difference in the DVD. [this creates a separate sound file, which sometimes fixes audio problems]
The point where the audio stops -- is it the beginning of a clip? near a transition? or?

Since QT 7.1.0 upgrade iDVD & iMovie not rendering audio

Can I get my old QT 7.0 back?
Since I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1 & 7.1.2, It has taken a full week to produce a 45min. video using iMovie and iDVD
This is the first time I've used the new iLife to create a movie or DVD.
Usually I use Final Cut Pro to edit but since the last upgrade of FCP, I have been unable to capture video from my Sony DCR-TRV 103 cameras (no longer supported, Great!). Since I have over 300 tapes archived in this format I am discouraged and have had to resort to using iMovie which ironically has no problem capturing from these cameras but takes days to render (seriously), and iDVD simply stalls when it gets to compressing audio. I tried converting the files to DV in QT ( 16hrs.) but that didn't help. My system used to work marvelously, but since the "upgrades" I can't get anything out.
This is really broke, and it's killing me and my business.
I could kick myself for being enticed to change.
HELP! ?

There is an incompatibility between QT 7.1.2 and OS10.3.9. (I have reported this to Apple, as I'm sure others have, but so far no cure).
This website will tell you how to downgrade QT:
http://fox-gieg.com/tutorials/2005/undo-quicktime-7/
however I downgraded to 7.0.4 because I couldn't burn DVDs with 7.1.2, but I still couldn't burn them (even though it was OK with 7.0.4 earlier before I upgraded).
If the downgrade process described in this site doesn't work for you you may find that your only answer is to upgrade to Tiger (10.4.7).

IDVD 4.0.1 audio problems

I've been working through a problematic project (corrupted iMovie 4.0.1 project file; restored from backup and re-did lost work) that's around 52 minutes long. I'm now having problems in iDVD 4.0.1 with the audio (which, from reading other questions, seems to be a common problem). Let me preface this by saying that I've burned a number of prior DVDs without incident. On the current try, I have built the project both by clicking the button within iMovie and by importing the project .mov file into a new iDVD project and gotten the same results. I've used MacSweeper 3.0 and DiskWarrior. I've made sure that no extraneous other programs are running. I've tried burning to both disk image and direct to disk.
What happens is that, for all video past around the halfway mark on the disk, there is only audio during the titles. The project plays fine in iMovie. The whole-project .mov file plays fine in Quicktime Player (there's audio everywhere). So, what could cause iDVD to drop audio that Quicktime doesn't? How can I rescue this project? Does the problem lie in iMovie or iDVD?

Did you use an Easter Egg to burn a disk image?

IMovie to iDvd problem /frozen frame on DVD

i produce many videos with iMovie and iDVD every day. the imported video footage via different cameras like sony cx105 or panasonic sdr 150 works fine and i can see the footage without problems in iMovie. after editing and rendering in iMovie, sending the footage to iDVD i can see that sometimes, while encoding the footage in iDVD the video footage freeze but iDVD finish the whole procedure. later while watching the dvd the movie runs for a while and than suddenly the video freeze at one frame but the audio continues.
this happens in around 15 burned dvd 1 times. if i try to start the whole iMovie project again and sending it to iDVD after rendering and even by cutting the frozen frame shot out the same thing happens again.it seems that there is somehow an error while importing the footage from the sd card or camera into the computer iMovie. the following error message comes up:
21.06.09 12:00:15 [0x0-0x10010].com.apple.iMovie8[102] Error: MPEG2Decompressor[0x1f3f8a50]: bad picturecodingtype (number = 85, size = 148628)

Please help! Thanks!!!

Hi
Most probably iDVD pref file - trash it - or even better start a new User-account
log into this and have a re-try.
Else
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• 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)
• 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.
• 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

IDVD 4.0.1 audio problems--console log

So, I too am having audio problems in iDVD. Not always, but recently. Audio is recorded for parts, but not all of source from iMovie. Looking at the DiscRecording.log in Console, I see:

Hi Matt
There are so many things that can go wrong.
How did You go from (iMovie?) to iDVD.
- using the Share/export to iDVD from within iDVD
- dropping the project QT movie into an open iDVD theme window ?
Version of OS, iMovie, iDVD and QT ?
What brand of DVD disks ?
Anything connected to Your Mac during burning process ?
Any other programs running under process ?

Audio drops when movie exported from iMovie into iDVD

Hi there,
I am a problem which I can't seem to fix.
I have created a 7 minute long slideshow in imovie with MP3 files from iTtunes embedded. The video and audio are fine when exported as a MOV file (and within iMovie itself). But when exported into iDVD for burning, the audio drops out completely after 3 and a half minutes.
I've tried updating iMovie, iDVD etc., deleting encoded assets as it says to do here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24043?viewlocale=en_US
to no avail.
Does anyone have any tips? My friend's wedding is on Saturday!
Thanks so much.
RR

Hi
A. I do not use "Share to iDVD" - BUT "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.) - Works much better.
B. When did it hang ?
a. On Export from iMovie to iDVD
b. When DVD is played on DVD-Player
If last one - then
• What brand of DVD did You use (Yes it matters)
• What type of DVD
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk - How much
• Burn speed - did You set down this - I do to x2 or x4
