Keepin original sounds of videos

I just did my first DVD movie br using various video clips from my digital camera. I also added a music track. However, I am not able to hear the sounds of the video recordings
When I play the mini movie I made I can only hear the sound track
How can I hear both music and original sounds?
thanks

you can change the colume of each track individually. When you are looking at the timeline as opposed to the clip viewer, if you click on the particular (audio or video) clip there is a window at the bottom that says "clip voume" and you can adjust the slider to a better volume.
I usually have music down in the 20s so that the audio from the video can be heard.

No Sound on Videos

Ok, so I have a few videos I want to put on my ipod. Well actually I have put them on, but, only one works. I know that you have to convert the files into m4v before putting them on iPod, and that's what I have done. However, previous to the conversion only ONE of those files was an MOV file (.mov) and the rest were mpg/mpeg . The ".mov" video worked on my iPod, sound and video. The others didn't, only the video part, no audio. Why is this? I know that there have been a lot of posts relating to this, but I found my situation to be a little more specific and decided to give it a shot, since the other sweren't so much in my "ballpark" of problems.
Thanks

iMovie does not work with muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 clips
When using any version of iMovie, please note that you cannot import muxed (multiplexed) MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video clips into projects. If you try, one or more of the following things can happen:
iMovie refuses to import the clip and displays an alert instead (such as "File could not be imported because QuickTime could not parse it. -2048").
iMovie allows you to import the clip, however:
You won't hear audio on playback.
You won't see video on playback.
When you export the project to QuickTime, iDVD, or a connected camera, the clip no longer contains audio.
When files are muxed, they contain interleaved audio and video tracks (they're mixed together instead of stored in separate tracks). Because of this, iMovie cannot support them.
If you want to find out if a movie file is "muxed," follow these steps:
Open the original movie file in QuickTime Player.
From the Window menu, chose Show Movie Info.
Click the More Info disclosure triangle in the Movie Info window (if it's closed).
Note the entry next to "Format."
If the format is "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed," you can't use the clip in iMovie. You may want to consider using a third-party utility to convert the clip to DV format for use in your iMovie project.
Note: If you have the QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component installed, it may not change the issues described above. Editing muxed MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files is not supported in iMovie, even with this component installed
Understand about iMovie Now? No under no circumstance should you convert twice. Quality will go downhill and fast. I convert to MPEG-4 ASP (Simple Profile). This is why all my videos continue to play correctly even after the new IPOD updater. I am not a MAC user so I will refrain from suggesting any programs. Folks have mentioned Handbrake although. Learning how to identify the different video formats and the different standards within each is important to success and getting your IPOD full of videos.

My IPOD WONT PLAY SOUND ON VIDEOS

i just got an ipod and i can play videos but there is no sound. the videos i want to play are music videos i have downloaded and ren and stimpy videos and meet the barkers tv series. i have clicked convert to ipod in itunes and they convert but after they convert they lose there sound on itunes and when i transfer them to the ipod there is no sound. has anyone else got this problem or have an idea to correct it. please help cuz i have minimal ipod / computer knowledge and i need all the help i can get thanks

i downloaded a few videos and they played fine on
itunes. BUT, they couldnt be added to my ipod. i
followed instructions to convert them for my ipod but
the converted videos dont have any sound. when i put
the converted videos on my ipod, they wont play- they
show up like a song- white background, name of song
and band, and, instead of the album cover, there is a
still frame from the video. is there something wrong
with the videos??? help!!!!
That sometimes happend to me when I converted the videos using Itunes....So, I use this converter instead...
Videora Ipod Coverter
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
It'a a free program to download and your videos should play fine in your ipod once you use this to covert them.
As for the videos not playing for you, it could be the fact that you coverted them using Itunes, so try the above converter instead and that should work okay. If that still doesn't work for you try getting your settings back to their original state - Go to 'Settings' and then 'reset Settings' and this will put your settings back the way they were once you bought the ipod originally. The videos should definately play in your ipod then.
If you need anymore help, just let me know, I know how annoying it is when the videos won't play properly!!!
Good luck with it!

Deleting original sound of footage and replace with new sound tract.

I took footages of dance sequences and I want to completely eliminate the original sounds and replace it with a song that plays from beginning to end of the movie I'm creating. The ducking slider won't slide back to zero thus when I play the movie, I can still hear the original sound of the footage. How do I completely eliminate the original sound. Thanks for your help!

You don't need ducking for this. Turn it off. In your clip, open the inspector and go to the Audio tab. Set the volume slider to zero.
If you need help bringing in a music track, see [this video|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#tutorial=audioclips]

[Python pygame] Graphic equalizer - keeping sound and video in sync

Hi!
I'm writing a graphic equalizer in python and I want to use pygame for the video and audio output.
The video display of the moving bars works great, now that I have a correct way to read samples and decode them.
The problem now is: they're way out of sync with the audio playing in the background!
At the moment my code, that draws the bars basically looks like this:
# loop as long as we can get slice of the audio file for the fft
for n_frame in range(0, len(framebuffer), fftframesz):
clock.tick_busy_loop(t_loop)
# t_loop was defined as fftframesz over total_frame_count
# which means in words: t_loop is the amount of FFTs per second - or the cycles of THIS loop
# grab the frames and perform the fft here
...numpy.fft.fft...
# set the new bar heights and draw them
for bar in bars:
bar.update()
# if playback has not started yet, make it so
if not pygame.mixer.get_busy():
musicfile.play()
The way I'm thinking, this should be enough to keep sound and video in sync. Because we know the time that one cycle should take at most,
we can set the clock to tick_busy_loop this time. This way we make sure that the video is not faster than the sound.
But to me it seems that is is the other way round, i.e. that the video is slower than the sound. I already did some timing, but to no avail.
Is there perhaps a more easy, more elegant way to make sure that image and audio are in sync?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your ideas. I assume you mean I should go with a $1200.00 final cut pro software. NOT.
Sure the video will be on myspace and youtube but wether they are noticed or not is not as important as self satisfaction. I can easily split scenes into equal time zones as I said. Then drag them into clips and back all using the same camcorder. Multiple cameras and angles would be nice but this can be done on a low budget and still look good. I guess my original questions were not answered. Is there a way to determine the length of a transition and shorten the clip by that amount. Or the length of a still shot and do the same. Or perhaps they have been answered and the answer is NO WAY, and I am just not hearing it.
I suppose reimporting a video would be great if I could use two timelines like in audio and then blank out what I don't want in the first. But I just don't think this is possible, or is it. I've been reading iMovie HD6 The Manual that should have been in the box. It's a help but doesn't take you from the beginning of a project to the final project. Exporting to imovie or idvd is not an issue. BTW I got the clips in sync as I said by leaving blank spots and placing effects over them. I could insert the proper length video in those spots but that can look silly without transitions. But then again so can transitions. This stuff is very fun and interesting and a great learning experience. If I stop now as you suggest then I am not pushing myself to the limit. But thanks for your reply.

Can't hear sounds in videos and games

Can't hear sounds in videos and games? Hello. I have some problem with my SB Li've!. I'm using a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (it writes Model: SB0220 on it) sound card, attached on a Gigabyte Intel 945 S-Series motherboard. And I've installed the driver and software from the cd that i got out of the SB Li've!'s original box (Creative SB Li've! series, Release 5.2.3.296), and also installed my motherboard's onboard sound card driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Release: 5.0.0.5567). I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, using 4. Creative speakers.
I'm okay when listening mp3's or Windows system sounds, but when it comes to play a game or watch a video;
I cannot properly (or sometimes completely) hear sounds, if my EAX Equalizer is set up to something else from "No Effects",
I can hear every sound properly if my EQ is set up "No Effects".
Can anybody tell why this happens? I can give more information about my hardware and software if needed. Thanks so much for your time =)

Sound and video are choppy since installing Flash Player 11.3

I'm having a problem here! Since I updated Adobe Flash Player 11.3, the audio and video are all choppy when I play Adobe Flash game apps in Facebook! Even when I disabled hardware acceleration, the sound and video are STILL choppy! Even I watch a YouTube video and the sound and video are a bit choppy! There's DEFINITELY some sound issues in Flash Player 11.3! I'm using Firefox 13 in Windows XP SP3. I'm wondering if you have any answers for the sound issues in FP 11.3.

I went through an annoying password reset process to post on here, haha, I was experiencing this issue and managed to resolve it for a flash animation I was making that was going to be sent out; thus fixing it for myself wouldn't change things for others. I know this is old, but if anyone is in this position, I hope it helps.
I was using Swish Max for my scenario.
Under the Export Settings, I found that by default it was using SWF Version: SWF8 - when it had the option to go up to SWF10. I changed it to 10, and set the hardware acceleration to Level 1 - Direct.
I exported, and it still didn't work. The music was choppy as heck and terribly inconsistent with speed. I even created a preloader, which appeared to work but didn't resolve my issue.
FINALLY, I kept it at version 10, and found that it had an option that said "Preload Content: Disabled." I set that to "At Preload Frame" and though I had a loading animation setup to do the preloading, I still placed a preloadcontent keyframe at frame 1. Then I set Hardware acceleration to Level 2-GPU and exported.
IT WORKED. The terrible, seemingly non-fixable audio cracking lag was gone and it worked flawlessly.
Hope this helps someone, I originally found this when I was trying to find a fix for the issue.

URGENT- DOING MEMORIAL VIDEO sound and video are off when sent to iDVD

I watch the video in iMovie and the sound and video are in sync. When I send to iDVD, the two are no longer in sync. I have made changes to the iMovie project since my last DVD burn. With the initial burn, there were no sound issues.
I've tried all of the following:
1. closing and reopening iMovie and iDVD
2. resending from iMovie to iDVD
3. readding the clip and removing the original clip from the iMovie project
4. restarting my computer
The only things I have not done are the following:
1. redownloading the original video clip from my camcorder
2. recreating the project
3. trying a different project to see if that one has the same audio/video issue (this will be my next step)
#2 above is literally so intense as I have a lot of editing on this. To make it clear to you, I have video footage of a memorial.... and after the memorial I chose little 20-30 second clips here and there. I don't have audio with those clips -- just iTunes music overlay.... so, those I don't need to worry about sound coinciding.... just the 30 minute clip that is the actual memorial service.
This is time sensitive.... it is a memorial video and I don't have time to redo the thing from the beginning, especially considering how long it took me to find those 20-30 second clips of the post-memorial.
Please help!

Yes... I had seen that.... and, yep, have the latest software.... and even rebooted my machine thinking that maybe it hadn't been restarted since the update (can't remember how long ago the update was).
I did a test run with a mobile size (it takes over an hour when I share with iDVD, which has been annoying with all my attempts to "fixing") file sharing with media browser and still the sound was not matched.
I started another project alltogether in iMovie and it does not have the sound issue when sent to iDVD....
I can copy and paste the more difficult editing I did between the "bad original copy" and my "do-over"... but, it seems to not copy exact length of each clip (it decreased it by a second each clip on the ones I copied over but that is weird since it did copy over the slowed % I had on the original) ..... see the more complex editing I have has the sound silenced and I have music overlay on that....
I have many more to go... and can't copy text directly from one project to another... in fact, there is a lot you can't just copy over.... I have to redo the music, special effects etc. This is not going to be a walk in the park if I can't find a way to make my "bad original copy" work.
Still looking for more suggestions (than to start all over), but will have to start over if I spend too much time making the one I have work.... then it becomes more sensical to just start over. I have quite a bit of time in the original, but if I can copy and paste the clips, that takes a majority of the work out.... but, if any of my copy and pastes somehow "corrupt" the sound sync on the portion that isn't silenced and music overlaid, then, there is a lot of work having to recreate all my edits from scratch.

Since the recent upgrade lost my bookmarks and abIlity to hear sound on videos.How do I fix that NOW!

Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
NEED HELP ASAP
THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!

Hi movision,
Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
* see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
So two steps
# Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile <br/> (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
# Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.
* [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video? I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv. I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv. Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv? thanks for any help.

You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...

Hi Brumage,
I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

Docked iPod only outputs sound during video to TV

I have a 5G iPod in an Apple dock, connected to my TV using a Monster audio cable and an S-Video cable. For some reason, it only outputs sound during videos or a photo slide show - not at all for music only playback. I'm baffled! Any idea why? It's a Panasonic plasma, and I've tried three different inputs. None work for music, but video is fine.

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.

Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

Can I edit out original sound in a clip?

I've been using "the Missing Manual" by David Pogue and it has been fantastic at helping me edit with iMovie. One thing that doesn't seem to be addressed, however, is if the original sound track can be either eliminated or softened for a movie clip. When I put music over some clips, horrible wind sounds or other distractions still come through and I'd like to be able to eliminate that and just hear the music.

For sound editing you may like iMovie 06 better (it's built-in).
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.
