ISight - Audio/Video - DVD

I have a new iMac/intel with OS X 10.4.6
My wife and I would like to make an Audio / Video Will for our children. Is there a simple step by step procedure We can follow, from turning on the computer to DVD ejecting of a finished disc?

HI Sekao,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
The iMovie App will allow you to record from the iSight camera.
This app can also export to iDVD.
iMovie will tend to split the incoming video every few minutes (about 8 or so if I remeber correctly) so you will need to edit the clips together if it is very long.
I would start here http://www.apple.com/support/imovie/

[SOLVED] Rip or play back audio/video DVD

Recently I bought a DVD that contains audio content as well as video content. On the packaging it says that it is in the "DVD Audio/Video" format.
Today I wanted to rip or at least play back this DVD on my computer. When inserting a "normal" video DVD into the disk drive, the DE which I am using (Gnome 3.12) displays a notification that offers the possibility to start playback of the inserted DVD. No such notification was displayed for the DVD in question.
Since anyway my original intention was to rip the DVD to my hard drive, this didn't bother me much and I started looking for a program for ripping DVDs. This research resulted in me installing dvd::rip.
Unfortunately, upon trying to the read the table of contents of the DVD, dvd::rip displays the below error message:
Job 'Determine number of titles' failed with error message:
Command exits with failure code:
Command: execflow tcprobe -H 10 -i \/dev\/sr0 && echo EXECFLOW_OK
Output: libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading
[[31;1mtcprobe[0m][31;1m critical[0m: unrecognized filetype for '/dev/sr0'
While googling for problems with DVD playback in Arch, I came across some generic solutions that didn't solve the problem, namely adding my user to the audio, video, and optical groups as well as installing packages for handling DVDs (libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav).
Is there someone who has managed to rip or play back DVDs in the "DVD Audio/Video" format?

Can you mount the disk and see its file system? If it is a DVD, you should be able to do this, regardless of and CSS.
Is there any chance this a VCD (Video CD)?

IDVD 08 audio/video sync drift toward end of DVD movie - fix/workaround?

Anyone know how I can fix this issue? It's driving me crazy.
I've just spent a few evenings in iMovie 08, editing together the video of my son's birth. All looked & amazingly good in iMovie. The "Large" .m4v file output by iMovie - Shared with the Media Browser - plays perfectly in Quicktime too.
However, after adding that shared movie to iDVD 08, and burning a DVD, I noticed that the audio sync drifts toward the end of the Movie when plated back. At the start of the DVD all seems well, but by the end of the ~1hr 20 minute movie the audio is unbearably out of sync with the video. Completely unwatchable.
After a little Googling I came across some reports that iDVD might not deal well with video that's been recorded with 12-bit audio. I've confirmed that my camcorder is (was!) set to 12-bit rather than 16-bit (the default, I'm sure). So if that's the problem I'm hosed... it's not like I can get a retake on that footage
Is there a reasonable workaround for this issue? I'm obviously unable to re-take the video (or the other 10 hours of DV video tape I've yet to use in an iMovie project). Ideally I'd like Apple to release a patch for this. Shouldn't it be possible for iDVD to account for audio that was originally recorded in 12-bit... even if it's just a checkbox you have to select to tip it off?
Then again, perhaps this is totally unrelated to the 12-bit issue, and this is just a run of the mill bug?
As I said... iMovie generates a MPEG4 video file of the Movie that looks/sounds perfect, so it seems this sync issue's being created somewhere in iDVD as it's rendering the audio/video to burn to the DVD...
Thanks in advance.

I've tried most of the options I can think of, and the audio sync drift issue continues on this ~1hr 12 minute iMovie/iDVD 08 project.
A couple of promising ideas tried used QT Pro, to export the audio track from the iMovie generated MPEG-4 file - as a WAV file, resampling to 48kHz and 16-bit... then Adding this back to the video track in the MPEG-4 file (having deleted the original audio track). In another test I also tried the Add to Selection and Scale option. Oddly enough I think the Add to Selection and Scale attempt generated more sync issues than before in the final DVD movie... so I stuck with the MPEG-4 file containing the video track and the added, resampled at 48kHz & 16 bit, WAV audio track.
This was saved as a self contained Movie file, producing a QT .mov file. I moved this .mov file into the iDVD projects directory structure so that it was avalable in iDVD's Media Browser. I then reworked the iDVD project to use this QT large.mov file, instead of the original iMovie large.m4v file.
As a reminder... the original large.m4v file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
The resampled and saved QT MOV file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
BOTH versions of this Movie file play flawlessly within QT Pro... there's no audio sync drift evident toward the end of the movie unless I use iDVD 08 to burn either movie file to a Physical DVD (or DVD Disk Image). In both cases the resultant DVD Movie exhibits significant audio sync drift as the ~1hr 12 minute movie progresses. The sync goes out by ~ <= 1 second based on a rough visual assessment.
I've not yet tried to burn either the original iMovie produced MPEG-4 video file or my QT Pro tweaked audio track .MOV file version to a DVD on my PC...
... But I have used an application called Burn (referenced in this earlier/archived iDVD sync drift forum post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 by user F Shippey - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/) to take the QT Pro tweaked .mov file version of the original MPEG-4 file and burn it to a DVD...
Results:
The Burn app burnt DVD plays with NO audio sync issues!... Even though it was generated from the same audio tweaked (48kHz/16-bit resampled) QT Pro .mov file.
However, whenever I burn a DVD using iDVD 08 the audio sync gradually drifts. It matters not whether I use the original iMovie 08 generated MPEG-4 movie file, or the QT Pro version of that file with the resampled audio track (the same one that works fine with Burn).
It sure looks to me like iDVD has a problem... Again, refer to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 for someone else who seems to have run into similar challenges.
Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I am at the limit of being able to help, since I only write to DVD
But, if your video is showing as being untranscoded, I would agree that "something" is going wrong while transcoding
If you click on the 622722 link I provided, you "should" be able to figure out how to export out of Premiere Pro to create a file that Encore does not need to transcode
Otherwise, you'll have to wait for someone who uses assets like yours to create a BluRay to come along and, hopefully, point out what you need to change
These may not help, but they are a couple of links I saved about audio/video sync problems

GX660 DVD drive will not play video DVDs

For some reason the DVD drive in my GX660 refuses to recognise video DVD discs.
DVDs with binary data and audio CDs will be read fine, but inserting a video DVD --any video DVD-- just results in an enormous amount of seeking sounds from the drive before Windows 7 finally gives up on it a reports the drive as empty.
I've had the GX660 for just under a year, during which time the DVD drive has been used very sparingly -- maybe for the installation of no more than a dozen programs. Never been used for burning DVDs or CDs. Never been used for reading video DVDs which is why I discover it at this late date.
Any ideas concerning this issue, before I turn in the laptop for service? I'd rather not have to.

In your shoes I'd contact MSI and see if there's a firmware update for the drive to correct the issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<

No audio on dvd burned with idvd6

Relevant software: Mac OS 10.4.11, iMovie 6.0.3, iDvd 6.0.3
Problem: No audio on dvd burned with iDvd
What happened: Created movie in iMovie (audio and video fine). Shared to iDvd (audio and video fine on playback). Burned Dvd. No audio on dvd but video is fine.
What I did:
1. Saved as disc file. Opened with VLC and DVD Player. No audio, video fine.
2. Deleted encoded assets in iDvd then 1 (above).
3. Removed non-Apple extensions in Library/Quicktime. Then 2 and 1 (above).
I've read other discussions about this same issue and followed those recommendations as well as that in the article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550.
Clearly I'm missing something. But, what is it? Anyone have any suggestions?

i too am having the same problems with iDVD 6.0.4. I just ended up wasting 5 hours of time burning these damned DVDs... what was really strange is that the first DVD I burned was a dual-layer, and I checked that one on a set-top DVD player and it worked fine. I then needed 5 more copies of the DVD, so I simply inserted a fresh dual-layer DVD into the drive at iDVD's prompt of 'Would you like to burn this disc again?'.
Assuming that they would all be fine since the first one was fine, I simply burned 5 more DVDs. Only now, checking them after I've wasted a godawful amount of time burning them, do I find that they're all f#$ked. Thanks apple.
Crap like this makes me steamed. My PC burning software doesn't have nearly the same simple, elegant interface as iDVD, but it also lacks this CATASRTOPHIC problem. I mean, dual layer DVDs are relatively pricey... so screw apple. i will be glad to go home to my PC after being forced to work with this junky, buggy software.

Weird audio/video offset/ "ghost copies" - please advise

Hello everyone,
I'm helping a friend - who has no computer - with a video project, which I have assembled and post-produced for him from DV tapes in iMovie 09.
Things seemed to work out fine first, but we now run into increasingly bizarre audio/video offset issues, and I'm out of ideas.
The source material for this film (50 minutes) is circa 400 current video clips, 20 stills and 10 older (1999) material - to which we added circa 50 crossfades, 30 voice-overs and 20 music tracks here and there (which, I guess, makes this a mid-size project). We also slowed down a few clips to adapt timing.
Here is what happens:
Around 40 min. into the project, I have muted the sound from quite a few clips and added a music track and voiceover.
Now when editing and previewing this project within iMovie, everything looks and sounds just fine: The sound from the original clips is muted, and the (music + voiceover) audio tracks play back as they should.
But once I export this movie (be it as a tiny 3GP clip or an iDVD project), these scenes will have a third, unwanted audio track added: the original sound from the clips following circa +one minute later+ in the movie - at full level, which is embarrassing, to put it mildly.
E.g., at 40:00, the original sound from the clip at 41:10 is audible with its full level - although both the clip at 40:00 and the one at 41:10 are muted within the project.
Now I tried everything I could think of.
I muted all the clips manually.
I separated the audio from the dubious clips and muted it again, just to make sure.
I threw out several of the older clips (coming from a VHS tape) used in this project.
The only effect this has is that these weird offsets/ "ghost" copies move around; they won't disappear.
I am out of ideas. So here I have an iMovie project which runs fine in iMovie itself - but once exported to iTunes or a DVD, it spits out additional audio material where it shouldn't. Very frustrating, and I cannot pinpoint the source.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26567 describes a similar problem, but this is a 2005 article referring to versions of iMovie and OS X long gone - and the fix it suggests (exporting 12 bit audio to an external FireWire camcorder in 16 bit and re-importing it) is not possible anymore with today's iMovie.
I would really appreciate if someone could gave me a hint what is happening here, and how to fix this problem.
Thank you.

Are you using any speed effects? Like Fast motion or slow motion?
If you stick to the pre-sets (25%, 50%, 200%, 400%, etc.) sound is handled well.
If you create a custom speed (say 39% or 159%), then sound will be messed up.
I do in fact use such non-standard values for speed.
I will try to reset them and see what it does for the resulting movie.
(And isn't this the kind of bug we wouldn't expect in an Apple product?)
Anyway, thanks for now. I will report if this helps.

Is it possible to "convert" a PPT/Presenter file to Captivate and retain the audio, video, etc.?

Hi - I'm wondering if someone has done this or can recommend the best way to do this.
We have a PPT/Presenter file that was created using PPT 2010 and Presenter 9. We recorded audio for the training right in Presenter and have also imported videos into the file using Presenter.
We need to output the file to DVD to actually play on a DVD player. We know we can do that with Captivate (we are using Captivate 5) and are wondering if there is a way to take our file (the package so to speak) and get that to open in Captivate and retain all of the pieces that we have added to it (audio, video, hyperlinks).
Or, alternatively, if there is a way to publish our Presenter file to DVD format, that would work for us too.
Thank you for any information or suggestions!
Emily

Hi Emily,
Presenter contents and captivate contents are different. but you can achieve it using the following steps in presenter.
1. Open you presentation.
2. GO to Adobe Presenter>>Publish .Publish dialog will open.
3. Check the CD package checkbox and publish the content.
4. Now Goto the publish folder and burn the content on DVD.
After successfull Burn, You can play on DVD player.
I hope this will work for you. Kindly let me know if you are facing any problem.
Thanks,

Audio Video Front Panel m8277c

I bought an HP Pavillion Media Center model m8277c and it has front panel input for video, svideo, and audio. Is this connection directly connected to the motherboard? Or is this connection passing through the PCI TV Tuner at the back? I tried to connect a video/audio connection to the front panel, but I don't see/hear audio-video. What program shall I use to enable me to watch an a/v connection to the front panel? Thanks in advance.

Okay Guys,pay attention because here it goes:To get the S-Video and A/V in jacks to engage you have to have the Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe to make these work.This is common software on most HP computers that have the A/V jacks and S-Videos jacks on the front and rear of most of the better HPs out there.The Cyberlink DVD Suite has in it the ability to copy CDs,DVDs,make CDs using MP3s WAVs etc.In this DVD Suite is a program called Power Director.This allows you to make you own movies that you can view on your computer saving them to My Movies or that you can burn to a DVD to watch on all types of consumer DVD players,even ones that are installed in Automobiles.How you engage these jacks is by going to the Power Director and open it.Once Power Director is open,go to File,in that select New Untitled Project.On the Lower Right Side Corner you will see a Grey Rectangular Settings Button.Click on that and you will select Analog Video Settings.A new square Pop up window will open up.That allows you to select ViXs Pure TV Capture.Click Capture Source so that you can see Video Composite-01(Front Jack),Video Composite-02(Rear Jack),Video S Video-01(Front Jack),Video S Video-02(Rear Jack) .The Audio Device is underneath that so if you are using the analog jacks from your camcorder or VHS Unit,make sure that you have the RCA jacks Both Left(White) and Right(Red) connected to the A/V jacks.Make SURE that you have all the cables connected BEFORE you open the Power Director so that the program detects them.When the Power Director program is open you will see a Blue Capture Button at the Top Left Side.You will see icons for Capture from DV Device,an icon that looks like a Prosumer Camcorder that says HDV Device,and Capture Video icon that looks like a TV with little Rabbit Ears coming off of it.Capture Video is the one you want.Click on that one then click on the Blue Button at the Top Left.and record your home Camcorder tapes or VHS tapes straight to your computer.I used a Sony Hi8 using the S-Video and a RCA Y cord so that both channels would come through and also used a Sony SLV -N51 using the Stereo Outs and everything worked fine.I hope this helps.Also,if you Don't have the Cyberlink DVD Deluxe Suite already installed in your HP,you can find it online from the popular auction site from $35 to $55.Good Luck.

Macbook - tv, audio & video on separate channels?!

so i'm on a quest to watch movies that are stored on my macbook's hard drive on my 36" insignia hdtv.
i have separate connections for the video and audio. the video is connected through hdmi, and the audio cord connects my headphone jack to a red/white thing on the tv. i also have a dvd player, videogames, etc plugged into the tv. when i use a component (like the dvd player or macbook) i have to select an individual input (such as hdmi1, hdmi2, component1, etc).
the issue? when streaming the movie on the macbook, the video shows on input "hdmi2" with no sound, and the sound can be heard on "component2" with a black screen. i can only select one input at a time.
what am i missing? how can i use see both audio & video on one channel if they are in separate inputs??
thanks!

My mistake about my TV, it only has TOS link output. But I do have 2 DVRs, the TV, and a DVD+R connected to a RS passive 4-way selector and fed into a DVD speaker system for better sound when I feel like it. TOS link is an fiber-optic cable with small connectors. I have not tested my MacBook but supposedly the sound jack is also the optical output jack and there a reports of red glows from it. Normally TOS links screw on to something with the fiber in a metal cylinder that could go into the jack. Probably something in the manual--yes, it's labeled "Headphone out/optical digital audio out port" on pp. 22-23 but has no real info. I don't have/want any videos to test the Book output, today.

Audio Video Input

I have a QIP6416-2 box and in order to get video, it needs to be connected via the Audio Video jack. I only have one input on my TV so I am unable to connect my DVD player. I was told the he Audio Video inputs on the box are disabled by default so I cannot even use them to to connect my DVD player. Verizon is severely limiting the ability to connect other electronics for the customer's viewing pleasure. Why are they disabled so hey cannot be used?

get an audio video switcher for $10. dont expect verizon or box maker motorola to provide all these extra features because you old tv has 1 input. all modern tvs have multiple hdmi and audio video inputs. id like my cable box to do my dishes but i know its not possible.

Video Playback Option in "Preferences/Audio-Video Out"

The following did not make it into the User Guide, though it did get into the troubleshooting docs:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332121.html
332121 Video Playback option in Audio/Video Out preferences (Encore DVD)
A new option was added to the Preferences menu of version 2.0 of Adobe Encore DVD. When you select Edit > Preferences > Audio/Video Out, you see an Automatic option in the Video Playback section. This option is selected by default, allowing Encore DVD 2.0 to play video in a Standard Direct3D mode. If the feature is not selected, then video playback will be in GDI mode.
The only reason to deselect this option is in the case of poor preview playback or black video. In order for the change in preference to take effect, you must close the Monitor panel and then reopen it.
Background information
Encore DVD 2.0 (unlike previous versions of Encore DVD) uses the Premiere Pro playback engine for video playback. Premiere Pro has three Desktop Display modes: Compatible, Standard, and Accelerated GPU Effects. In Compatible mode, video is played using the GDI. In Standard mode, video is played using Direct 3D. In Accelerated mode, video is played using Direct 3D with GPU.
The default setting for Encore DVD 2.0 is comparable to Premiere Pro's Standard mode (Direct 3D). When the Automatic option is deselected, it is comparable to Premiere Pro's Compatible mode (GDI).
If Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 detects a Direct 3D error when previewing in Standard mode, it switches to Compatible mode. Encore DVD 2.0 does not have this capability, nor does it provide the same option in the User Interface for the user to switch between the three display modes. This is why the Automatic option was included in the Audio/Video Out preferences.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Sounds like you've been shooting at p ("progressive") frame rate (..24p or similar).
iMovie can't handle that (..except for JVC's 720p footage..) and it thinks that each frame is a "field" (..half a frame). It therefore plays those frames at double speed, thinking that there should be two 'fields' to a single frame.
Did you shoot at a "p" frame-rate..? If so, you'll need to convert the material, with some other program, so that iMovie can handle it.
I can't remember offhand what software might do this, but if you were shooting in HDV hi-def (which is recorded in the camera using the MPEG-2 video system) you may be able to use MPEG Streamclip (click on that blue link) to "unscramble" your material.

External iSight camera video delay in 10.5.2

Since upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, external iSight camera has a short video delay which renders it unusable for video conferencing in iChat AV. Has any one noticed this? The cam has the latest firmware so that is not the problem. The delay is very obvious in Photo Booth as well. The delay is also apparent on my Macbook Pro 17 with built in iSight. Is this normal?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, bzamp1
I do not experience the delay you describe, but I do not have any known solutions to offer. Because the problem is the same on all of your Macs including your MacBook Pro, you can rule out processor speed as the sole problem.
Some iNtel Mac users report poor AV sync in Photo Booth even though they are running no other applications and have plenty of free space on their hard drives. However, you experience the problem with other apps, too. The fact that your problem occurs with multiple software applications remove candidate issues like bad applications software, low internet connection speeds, or improper network configuration.
If you updated to 10.5.2 via your Mac's Software Update... feature, try the following:
• Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
• Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
• Then download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
• Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
