ITunes stuffing up my movies - white noise

I read the topic posted by Ducos about how itunes wouldnt sync his movie and so i did that right click movie>advanced>create ipod/iphone version and coverted it, uploaded it up on my Touch and all i get is a white background just the sound of the movie.
Previous to this happening i couldnt sync it to my ipod itunes would always sasy 'this type of video cannot be played on ipod or iphone'. :S Can anyone help me plz? its a mpeg.4 movie.
I dont get it what or why its happening.

I was using the normal iTunes converter (right click movie>advanced>convert for iphone/ipod) so i dunno wats happening there.
Thanks, i'll download it now. Another movie that I converted using the itunes converter, works the opposite way. Its got the vid/picture but no sound :S
Does TVC convert the bigger files, such as 1GB and that?

  • I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

    I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
    I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
    Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
    Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
    However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD)  - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
    Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
    Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

  • ITunes 7 Destroying my Movies when editing artwork

    A few weeks back i began importing my DVD collection to my new iMac, using Visual Hub to take DVD sources (video_ts folders) and converting them to H.264 mp4 files.
    I had all of these converted movies (about 30 of them) in my ~/Movies folder, when it dawned on me that I could use iTunes 7 to have a nicer way to look at my movie collection and still be able to browse the movies via Front Row.
    The problem started when I tried setting custom art for each movie, once it was imported into iTunes. Apparently, it's not as easy as copy and pasting artwork into the movie's Artwork tab in Get Info in iTunes (for some ungodly reason.)
    What happened was deleting the current art, and then hitting Ok would completely hang my entire system. I couldn't even move the mouse. I had to hold the power button down for 6 seconds for it to shut off and then reboot. This happened about 5 times before I was convinced that every time i tried to do this, it would be the same result. Checking out Console.app, i tried to find something telling from System.log and Console.log, and i thought i had found something that pointed to bad ram. However, a thorough 3 pass test with memtest eased those concerns, and the problem points back to iTunes.
    If i go into iTunes and select a movie I imported, go to its Artwork tab in Get Info, and delete the current artwork, the movie becomes a full length "movie" of just a white screen and no sound. I cannot for the life of me figure out why deleting artwork consistently (three separate movie files) ruins my movie files.
    If i open the files in Quicktime, it's the same thing. But if i look up the movie's properties, it still says i have an audio and video track at the expected bit rate...so i'm not really sure, maybe i can fix these videos as it seems the video is just being masked by an all white screen.
    So my question is three-fold:
    1) Why does deleting the artwork from a movie in iTunes render the entire movie file useless?
    2) Is there a way to fix this?
    3) Is there a way to add custom artwork (perhaps the movie's poster art from Wikipedia) to a movie file in iTunes without it destroying my movie?
    Please help!
    I should mention that i tried redoing the artwork on a brand new OS X user, and got the same results...a white-screened movie with no sound.
    MacOS X 10.4.8
    iTunes 7.0.2
    2.33 GHz iMac C2D, 2GB ram

    this is EXACTLY what i am experiencing right now, please HELLLLLP!!

  • How do I get rid of the white noise that plays over my music?

    Hey.
    I got 5 CDs today and I wanted to upload them onto my iTunes to put on my iPod. But when I put in 4 of the CDs I got white noise over the top of the music making it unlistenable. But the 5th album(Double CD) worked perfectly fine. I know the problem isn't the CDs because I played them through my PS3 and they were absolutly fine. If anyone can help. Its greatly appreciated.  
    Thank you.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

  • Why is the video audio white noise when I share my project since I updated to 10.0.9

    On the movies I created before I updated to 10.0.9, the audio prortion of the video is now white noise. The audio is fine when played back in FCP, but when i share the project it is white noise. When I burn it to BluRay the audio is gone all together. Even when I make a master file to my desktop, it still happens. The music I added to my project is fine. It just the audio that is part of the video clips that is affected. I've turned off the EQ's and Compressors I was using and I even tried moving the audio to the center channel instead of mono. No luck. Need some help. I can't figure this out.

    I'm encountering the same problem as the original poster.  In my case, I'm using FCP 10.1 (running on OS 10.9.1).  My source file is DV video imported via FireWire from a DV camcorder.  The clip's audio is fine when playing inside of Final Cut Pro 10.1, but when I share the project the audio track is just white noise.  My share settings are to Apple 720p devices (the subseqent dialog boxes indicate the software has figured out it's really 640x480 video).
    Here's what the QuickTime Inspector says about the source file:
    Format:
    DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
    Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
    Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
    FPS:  29.97
    Data Size:  5.87 GB
    Data Rate:  30.30 Mbit/s
    Current Size:  640-480 (actual)
    I tried changing from "faster encode" to "better quality", but it made no difference.
    The rather dated version of Compressor I have (v3.5.3) was able to encode the clip to H.264 640x480 and the results are fine.  However, it took way longer than FCP 10.1 (I think it's too old to be taking advantage of the GPU).

  • Media Encoder turns audio into white noise!

    I'm running CS5.5 on an intel Mac 10.6.5, and i have been having problems encoding to flv.
    All my videos are edited the same way, and using the same formats etc,   yet recently I have found that when converting to .flv, some will work fine, and others will have the audio replaced by white noise.
    I cannot figure out what the problem could be. I have also tried using the CS5 version and that is having the same issues.
    Checking through the video specs, it appears that the one difference is that the ones which worked fine are all Apple ProRes 422 HQ files, and the ones which failed are Apple 10bit Uncompressed.  The strange thing is the audio is the same for both.  Yet when the encode problem happens, the video for both is fine, its just the audio where the problem appears.
    Anyone else seen this problem?  or better still have a solution?
    adam

    I've answered it myself.
    The problem relates to using Uncompressed 10bit movie files...seems the CS5 versions have a problem handling the audio on these. The solution for me was to run the files through Compressor first and change them to Apple ProRes422, before running them through AME.
    works every time now!
    now if only i could find the bug report form....

  • White Noise bursts... Apple speaks!

    For those who don't read the ever-growing 'white noise burst' thread regularly, I just thought I'd post here to say that I've added a response I had from Apple/Logic Feedback...
    You can read it on page 18 here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2144002&start=255&tstart=0
    Interesting...

    They may or may not be related. From what I gather, the PT users experience it while streaming audio through digi interfaces. Even Itunes does it to them. In Logic's case it's actually recorded on the file then played back. This happens to me on a daily basis and is occasionally followed by a disk error message. Laptop/desktop/internal/external/dedicated audio drives with no third party plugs or even hardware/ doesn't matter. I find it amusing that Apple support is not able to recreate the problem, they probably launch Logic, record two or three passes and say "see? not happening here..." Could very well be a core audio issue though, definitely related to how it writes data on the drive.

  • Extracted audio from video file is white noise

    Hi, I'm working on an animated series as a sound designer (my first gig as such). I'm getting .mov files from the director with some audio already added. In some cases, he just wants me to add tracks to what's already there and export it containing my audio and his.
    The video looks OK (though the playback is pretty choppy, but that might be system limitations) but the extracted audio that shows up on the separate audio track is very loud white noise. There appears to be breaks where there's silence on the track but the audio is completely fuzzed-out and unintelligible.
    The only thing I can think of is I'm using XP, he's on OS X. However, we both have current versions of QuickTime so why would it matter.
    Any advice or insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi grilch,
    I'd definitely need to know the format of the audio stream. If you play the MOV file directly in Quicktime, does the audio play properly?
    Thanks,
    Durin

  • Firmware 1.1 White Noise Issue

    I upgraded to 1.1 from 1.03 and do not have the white noise issue at all. Have 2,000 songs and bunch of videos and about 100 pics. Had 0 problems, iTunes and iPod update all went 100% smooth.
    Saw some bad reports, just wanted to let those thinking of upgrading that the problems mentioned do not occur 100% of the time.
    I also have no unusual noises and never have had the battery draining problem.
    160Gb Classic

    It is totally random, there is no pattern to it. It was the day after I updated to 1.1 before the hissing started on my player. It hasn't happened so far today but it may happen later on tonight. I had no issue with the update and all my music, photos and videos remained intact but the hiss and thumping noise you get when you remove the earphones is a real bummer and a total let-down with this new firmware. Check to see if you get the loud noise when you remove your earphones; if you are you may very well get the hissing. It's certainly happening to the majority.

  • Imovie11 audio on video clips does not convert when sharing, just get white noise

    Imovoie 11 audio on video clips works in project mode, upon sharing to theater or file it generates whitenoise. Project mode has original video sound and added song paired correctly. Comes out as white noise in theater or new file.

    Hi,
    I did some more testing this time a shorter 2 minute video. Again trying to mute sections of the audio. I used garageband again to edit. Then convert the MOV with both FFmpegX and Flash 8. FFmepgX converted the file in about 1 minute, but still did not render the muted sections as mute.
    I converted then with flash 8 it took about 30 minutes, god that is slow, but it did retain the muted sections. So I'm thinking maybe the FFmepgX converted has an issue with audio tracks that come from garage band.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • MBP 17" report, occasional white noise from right speaker

    My 2.16Ghz MBP with 100GB 7200rpm drive and 1GB memory arrived a few days ago. Since then I have been installing software, running apps, and generally putting it through it's paces. I have also added a 1GB stick from Crucial. On the whole the MBP has been great, except for a few (hopefully minor) problems:
    1. It gets quite warm on the left palmrest, and gets uncomfortably hot between the keyboard and the screen. This is just during casual use, web surfing, downloading updates etc. The case temperature is about the same as my old 667MHz TiBook after it had been at 100% CPU for several hours (encoding video). I dread to think how hot the MBP will get doing something demanding.
    2. When closed the screen appears to be slightly bent, the gap at the two front corners is about 1mm wider than the gap at the latches.
    3. I have started to get hard crashes during the boot up sequence. Specifically after the grey apple I get the greyed-out multi-language reboot message and have to reboot. If I continue trying to reboot it eventually manages to get past the grey apple and boot up normally (usually this takes 2 or 3 attempts). I suspect this is due to something I've installed, possibly some Canon software for my MP750 printer.
    4. I have now heard a white noise/static sound coming from the right speaker on 5 occasions. Three of those occasions were while booting (one of them was when I first turned the MBP on! Not a good sign). The computer boots normally, but with this strange noise! The other two times where when I was launching apps. On each occasion the noise lasted about 3-5 seconds before stopping. It's more of a hissing noise, not a mooing or a whining noise. It sounds exactly like the speakers on a vinyl record player when the needle is in between songs.
    Obviously all of the issue are annoying. However I'm only REALLY concerned about item 4. Item 1 was kind of expected after doing some pre-purchase research. Item 2 is annoying in a £1800 laptop, but I can reluctantly live with it. Item 3 is frustrating but I'm sure I can 'cure' it by removing software (it only started happening after a day or two of fairly heavy use). Item 4, on the other hand, is intolerable
    Anyone have any suggestions? Advice appreciated. The nearest Apple store is about an hour away, so advice other than "take it to a Mac 'genius'" would be appreciated.
    17" MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2GB RAM

    Well, that was 15 minutes of life wasted typing out the above post that I'll never get back
    I was hoping for some sort of 'expert' advice from all the users here with thousands of posts. Evidently not.
    Anyway ... I have (kind of) fixed the problem myself. Resetting the power management unit almost completely solves the static noise problem. I say almost, because since resetting the PMU (about 2 weeks ago now) I have heard the static noise ONCE. This is compared to hearing it around 3 or 4 times a day prior to the PMU reset.
    This at least makes me slightly more confident that this is a software/firmware glitch, rather than a hardware fault.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • White noise, sort of packet loss when talking with...

    Hi,
    For some unknown reason when I talk with one specific person the call doesn't exactly drop out it sort of cuts the audio and gives me white noise (sort of like when you get packet loss when transferring files or gaming), I have 0 idea why it does it. Does it the reverse as well, but only for me and this person. Everyone else thats in the call doesn't get effected and its frustrating me.

    When in a call goto call > Technical info. This will show you various info about the call connection (and a lot of useless info aswell). Amongst the info is packet loss, and relays (if relays = more than 0 you are not directly connected).
    Being on the same Skype, version might help.

  • Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

    I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
    1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
    Is this possible?
    2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    Thank you so much for any answers posted.
    Best,

    If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system.  If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player.  This should play the movie directly from the flash drive. 
    If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop.  When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes.  I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes. 
    To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard.  In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.  
    I hope that helps!
