It is producing the Dolby Digital file but not the encoded .m2v file?

I am trying to encode as MPEG-2. I slightly modified DVDBest Quality 90 minutes and dragged my QT file and these settings to the batch window. I submitted a few clips successfully, however the last clip does not seem to want to generate a video clip, it just produces the Dolby Digital Professional 2.0 file. I tried this a few times with the same result.
Any ideas what might be wrong?

Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions. That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I used to go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help.

Audigy Platinum gives Dolby Pro Logic, but not Dolby Digital with

I'm trying to get my Audigy Platinum (the original) to output dolby digital over the SPDIF output as a bitstream instead of PCM.
I've tried everything I've read on the forums and elsewhere (that's how I got it to the point of working this far).
Stereo playing wav files etc is ok.
Playing a DVD thru Windows media player gives surround, but in Dolby ProLogic, not DD.
Playing a DVD with PowerDVD gives no sound via digital
Playing a DVD via Video Lan Player (VLC) gives either no sound or stereo via digital.
Ultimate goal here is to play HD content (Transport Streams recorded from HD cable box) with the Dolby 5. soundtrack.
Is the Audigy going to work here or do I need to move to another solution like Turtle Beach Dolby Digital Li've?
Thanks,
Doug

I Kind of have to give in to that. However if the bitrate is to low, any decent receiver won't give you anything but Dolby prologic II
How can you kind of agree and then repeat the same incorrect statement you did before ?
If the audio track has 5.1, it doesn't matter how low the bitrate is, one should expect to get 5.1 from the receiver.
You are of course correct about the superior quality of audio from a blu-ray disc, it is however fairly meaningless if you can't actually tell the difference which a large percentage of the population can't.
Likewise, even if you are able to tell the difference, one may not wish to invest the sort of money it requires to be able to hear that difference.
And also similarly, one may feel that the benefit of not having to leave your home to get the blu-ray disc, not having to organise and store the disc or return it later and not having to pay through the nose for it, all outweigh any benefit a small and often undetectable improvement in quality might make.
Horses for courses, if you want your improved quality thyen consider another device, if you want ease of use, an intuitive user experience and instant gratification, then the Apple TV is ideal.

Compressor handled Dolby Digital fine but hangs on H.264

Hey folks
Hopefully this is a newbie question..... I search the forums and couldn't find this answer.....
I have a HDV movie that has been put into final cut pro.... I may have 1 or 2 holes in my audio which is fine I don't mind the silence....
I sent the project to Compressor and chose HDV 90 minutes since it is about 60+ minutes of footage......
Compressor handles the Dolby Digital Profession 2.0 find (in about 10 minutes) but then when it goes to H.264 6.75Mbps it litteraly takes for ever....After 11 hours it was only 40% done....
Is this right or could I have done something wrong in the editing for it to fail?
-David

I've had luck with H.264/AAC from Quicktime Player 7 and Adobe Media Encoder. I've never been able to export to Android out of Compressor. The AAC flavours Compressor offers aren't to Android's taste.
Here's the spec sheet on what is/isn't accepted.
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
Also, for the record, Google supports and actively contributes to HTML5. The hang up is the video tag in HTML 5 does not specify a codec. Google is dropping support for H.264 video in Chrome when using the video tag because H.264 is proprietary, not open. This is the same reason H.264 video support has never been in Firefox. H.264 will be supported in Chrome through Flash, just as WebM will be supported almost everywhere else via Flash.

My ipod appears as a digital camera but not in itunes. How to fix?

I know this question has been asked a few times, but none of the answers I've found have given me any "how-to's". I followed the steps in the Apple Support page titled "iPod not recognized in iTunes," but they didn't help. Tips?

- There can be many causes. All we can sayis try the Apple troubleshooting here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You can also try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

Are the movie trailers accessed thru Apple TV in Dolby Digital?

BExcuse none of them show as being in Dobly Digital when I play them. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

On my Apple TV in the description for Skyfall, Life of Pi & The Birds it just shows 1080p & CC (no DD symbol) whereas Argo & Psycho shows 1080p DD & CC, I am just going by the film description on the screen before purchasing. If the description doesn't show that little DD symbol, I assume it is not in Dolby Digital and likely not to give it buying consideration.

Dolby Digital Surro

Hi there, I just purchased a new audigy 2 nx. However, I can not seem to get the dolby digital sound to work. The dolby digital light is not going on. Can someone tell me how to activate the dolby digital please. I know it works in the demo cd so its not the sound card that's the problem. I am using a creative t7900 7. surround sound system. Is there any additional software that I require for dolby? Thanks.

I have used VLC player to play mkv files which are supposed to support dolby digital. However, when I select A/52 over S/PDIF the dolby digital light comes on but the sound becomes repetiti've and jumbled up. Any suggestions on what is wrong? Thanks.

XBOX Dolby Digital 5.1 (optical) -- SB Live 5.1 Platinum -- Logitech Z5300 - IS IT POSSIBL

When the XBOX is set on Stereo or Dolby Surround (both with Dolby Digital set to off), I get sound out of four speakers and sub, but no center channel. This is in games, movies, and menus/music.
When the Dolby Digital is enabled, there is light pop/static sound followed by NO AUDIO. This occurs when I put a game or movie into the XBOX.
Menu sounds and XBOX music files come through in 4. no matter what the XBOX settings.
When I play DVDS and games on the computer, the Dolby Digital works great.
Is the setup I desire possible? Can the Li've Dri've's optical in accept Dolby Digital? If not, WHY NOT?
The speakers are analog. CMSS is off. I've swapped XBOXs, AV packs, and optical cables.
ApexAnalog

you will have to use movie mode in presets , which is cmss to get sound from sb5. and optical out on the xbox and optical in on li've dri've.
And have the advanced av pack and goto xbox audio settings and choose dolby digital enabled, as you have done.
But the card is not doing dolby digital, its uplaoding to the speakers in a simulated dolby digital mode, much as in the same way if you just connect the left/right audio pins, to the AUX 2 in at front of li've dri've.
Well thats how my 4 sb5. and li've dri'ves do it, so they all can,t be broken, or every single xbox i have plugged in, in much the same ways as external dvd players and the li've dri've optical in on sb5, handle it.
So unless someone at creative can tell us how to get dd5. with this setup. Thats what im saying, try it for yourself, then get a dd5. decoder and see the difference.

Workflow and requirements to create for dolby digital and dolby sr

one i have created my 5.1 ac3 encoded file waht are the requirements to get the dolby authorization and what is the correct workflow?

You do not need Dolby authorization to use a Dolby Digital file on your DVD. Only if you want to use their logo.
If you want permission to use their logo, you must go to their website, request the authorization packet, fill it out completely, and provide them with a proof of your printed materials and enough time for them to get around to approving it and get back to you.

Workflow to get a dolby digital 5.1 surround, alot of confusion.

what I have usually done with my videos is to export omf to logic , and mixed in 5.1, from there i bounce in multichannel audio file, and open it i compressor and create there my AC3 file
is that all to get a professional accepted DOLBY DIGITAL FILE AUDIO file?
what is real professional workflow used in feature films and main studios? I SEE hardwares around as dolby e etc
please help me to clear my confusion

These are the specific specs requested by a specific facility. They requested a quicktime with the surround sound tracks muxed (combined with the video) in this fashion. The other DCP's I've delivered either had stereo tracks or we supplied seperate audio files for each surround sound channel. So I wouldn't use these without talking to the facility making the DCP.

Netflix Dolby Digital 5.1 gone after udpate

Hi,
Is anybody (or everybody) else having that problem ?
Last week I was playing Netflix movies in Dolby Digital 5.1 but now the same movies on the same hardware (Apple TV/ AV reciver) are not Dolby Digital anymore but only prologic.
Other Apple TV items (ie. movies, shows, itunes festival) have no problems streaming in 5.1.
It look like this happen at the time of the latest Apple TV OS update.
Is this a Netflix issue or a Apple issue ?
Tried to contact Netflix....they don't have a clue.
PS, I have the latest generation of Apple TV and I update my Apple TV OS last week (so i'm up to date).

I've encountered the exact same issue. Ever since the latest Apple firmware update I can't get the Netflix app to send a Dolby Digital signal to my receiver. I've tried everything but it just does Pro Logic II. This is for content on Netflix that I know is Dolby Digital 5.1 supported.
As you've said, Dolby Digital still works fine for other content (iTunes festival, movies, etc) but Netflix doesn't seem to trigger it. Something is not quite right with this firmware and Dolby Digital. I can't remember for sure now but I think that, before this firmware, my receiver always had the Dolby Digital light on when the Apple TV was on (even when on the home screen). It now seems to be Pro Logic II all the time except for specific content.

Weird Dolby Digital Errors in Some Progr

I read the FAQ on Dolby Digital Exporting and all of that jazz. I have my X-Fi Fatality dumping directly into a receiver via optical cable that decodes Dolby Digital.
However it's weird, in Media Player Classic, VLC, and the like, I'm getting weird errors as Dolby Digital isn't working completely in MPC, and in VLC it kinda goes on and off in little bli
ps.
(As in the sound is just blips and the receiver is showing dolby digital and then not about twice a second.)
However if I play a video with AC3 audio in Nero Showtime (lol) it works just fine and AC3 is working at 00%.
So my question is what am I doing wrong in VLC and MPC and other programs that is making Dolby Digital not work?
Any tricks or tips?
Thanks

VLC is designed to play everything by itself, including your dolby digital data. This can often be very useful, because you don't have to download codecs. Other times, it can be a problem such as when you want to pass the data through without processing. VLC probably has an option to do that, but I haven't used the software enough to know where it is.
In MPC, play your video/audio and check the listing in Play>Filters. Write down (or take a screen shot of) that list and submit it here. It shows the path the audio (and video) takes, and will show if you have a codec which is interfering.

Dolby Digital Editing

OK-I have a project in which I am trying to take advatage of Dolby Digital in FCP 5; export the audio and video and put it on DVD. I have a 6 speaker bose system that is contected to my video deck to monitor sound. The video deck is conected to the MAC via firewire (It Works). In my FCP project I have added 12 output chanels assuming that they corespond as follows...(Please let me know if this in incorrect in any way)
A1-A4: Left and Right Speakers
A5-A8: Left and Right Rear Speakers
A9 & A10: Center Speaker
A11 & 12: Sub Wooofer
According to the manual, I can export the audio to dolby digital using Compressor 2 thru FCP 5. The audio tracks are mono and according to Compresor 2 manual I am suppose to assign channel identifier codes. How can I do this hence I can not figure it out! Should I make my tracks stereo? If I do and export the project using Compressor 2, will the channels corespond to the output hardware (spearkers) automaticlly? Help...
FCP Studio 5.1.2

firewire will only pass two channels of audio to a deck for monitoring.
Your computer/deck/bose setup lacks any encoding/decoding. It won't do it. If you expect to get the bose to monitor surround when only fed a two channel input, it has to be pre-encoded into dolby prologic.
What you need is to mix down your A1-A4 to two separate mono tracks for L & R. Mix down A5-A8 to two separate mono tracks for LS & RS. Mix A9 & A10 to a single mono track for Center, and mix A11 & A12 to a single mono track for the sub.
Compressor is not a mixing utility. You can feed it 6 tracks and it will compress them to a Dolby Digital file. It can't mix levels and mix 4 files together into one. It compresses them, sews them together, and gives you a file.
That file can't be edited anymore. It's a delivery format.
If you want to do 5.1, you need to mix your audio into 6 separate tracks somewhere other than Compressor. FCP doesn't really do it either. STP could, by using busses. ProTools is better at it. Cubase will do it. Deck will do it.

It is producing the Dolby Digital file but not the encoded .m2v file?
