Language audio tracks and subtitles with videos

I have a number of movies I have ripped that have both Chinese and English audio tracks. Is there a way to switch between audio tracks for videos, or do I just need to load separate .mp4 files for each?

I do not think there is any option in the ipod to select between the two sound tracks, unless there is a hidden hack. I might be wrong though.
Obviously the only option I am aware of is creating two different files each with the different sound track.

Cutting two audio tracks in synchrony with video, question

I had to chop my movie in two because it did not fit on one DVD. This forum suggested that you make a complete second copy and delete the second half of one, and the first half of the other copy and burn your DVD with the respective halves. No problem with the first half, I deleted the video and had to go back and individually delete the audio tracks and everything stayed in synchrony. The problem arises when trying to delete the first half of the movie and not being able to use the play head to delete audio and video simultaneously. The audio of the first half of the movie is preserved, and if I delete the audio one track at a time it will shift the audio in relation to the video. I thought there would be a way of chopping off the video and audio tracks at the same point without the tedious task of trying to put everything back in sync "by hand". I have two audio tracks so it might be tricky to cut at the end of one audio track, without getting the other out of sync. Thanks for suggestions.

Hi Mike:
Perhaps the easiest way is to export the entire movie back to DV tape and then re-importing to imovie. That way, the entire movie is now combined into a "flattened" version. Meaning the audio and video are combined together into one video track, making it possible to split the final version in two.
Pain in the neck, but much easier that doing it one clip at a time.

Making a CD with audio tracks and a "bonus" video- how to?

Dear folk,
I have seen this before (notably a Shaggy album from waaaay back but no longer have access to it to study its "breakdown")- a regular audio CD which functions normally in your CD player etc and then, when placed into a DVD player or onto your computer lets you view the video which is on the same disk.
I am looking at getting my daughter's EP of original material done but would like to add a video which I am making as well, in this manner.
Not sure that iTunes IS the right category but I don't use Pro Logic (though I own it and could get someone else to do it, if required)- help please?

OK, thanks to Roger I had good info to take away and now know that mixed mode CDs would possibly evidence issues as in this process the data file (ie the video) would most likely be the first file on the finished CD which would give you that horrible squealing noise as you play it on a conventional CD player but that "enhanced" CDs will burn them (data video and audio tracks) as separate sessions, ensuring that each appliance only need deal with that which it CAN deal with.
Toast will do this but, apparently, so will something called Dragonburn: http://dragon-burn.en.softonic.com/mac
I haven't tested this yet (the audio I need to work with has still to be completed and I have to shoot the video) but hope to report back.
Hope this helps anyone seeking to do something similar.

Is it possible to keep one audio track and lay more video on top?

Hi...I want to take audio that is on one video clip and lay different video over the top of it. Is it possible in iMovie08?
Thanks!

No, but you could Command-Shift-Drag the clip with the audio you want from an event and "pin" it to the video you want in a project. Basically, you are extracting the audio from the event clip and associating it with the video you want in a project. Once it is associated with the clip, the audio can then be manipulated (set in/out points and aligned with the video) as you would any other added audio.

Audio tracks and subtitles

Hi. Once you find a movie or TV show you like in the iTunes store, is there a way to confirm (before purchasing) whether the movie / TV show contains alternate language tracks or subtitle tracks? Thx

On the page that you can view all the movie details on the left hand side under the 'Buy Film' button it tells you lots of info about the movie, run time, size of file, audio, languages, etc.

How to import 2 separate audio tracks and keep them separate?

I need advice about importing two separate simultaneous audio tracks and keeping them separate. I am importing footage from my Sony PDX-10 DV Cam.
In the field I had wireless microphones on two people, a man and woman. I interviewed them separately. The man was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2.
While shooting the man, for example, I could also hear the open mic of the woman who was maybe a block away talking to some friends. But her distracting sound was on CH 2 and in playback on the camera, if I dial down the volume of CH 2, I no longer hear the woman and I have a clean audio track, Ch 1, of the man who is being filmed.
I'm trying to import the interviews into iMovies with only the relevant track turned up and the distracting track turned down. When I listen to the audio from the camera on my headsets, I can get clean sound of just the person who is on camera. But the FIREWIRE seems to grab both tracks, even though in playback i'm listening only to the clean track.
Does anyone know how I can send just one audio track to IMovie? Any way to prevent the Firewire from importing both Ch 1 and Ch 2 at the same time?
I only want the sound that's relevant to the person who is on camera. And I know that in the camera, it's possible to listen to just the track from one channel. I'm hearing just one track through the headsets, because I can sucessfully dial down the other track. That's the way I want to import the footage to iMovie. But the FIrewire seems to grab all the sound it can find and carry over both CH 1 and CH 2, which means I'm left with a jumble of sound that is not useful.
And finally, if the firewire needs to grab both tracks, is there a way to assign them to two separate tracks in iMovie, so I can then simply turn one of the tracks off?

welcome finecut to the  boards of discssions ...
nope.
iM handles the two stereo-channels as "one track", and offers 3 tracks of stereo.. (the one inside the video, 2 additional tracks...)
I would... :
* export clip(s) share/Quicktime/Expert Settings/aiff..
* in a designated audio processor (Garageband, Audacity, ...) seperate the two channels, creating two "new" ones, stereo, where one channel is located in the stereo middle..
* import these two "stereo" files into iM, into Track2 and Track 3 ...
.. boom!done

Audio does not fit with video FCPX 10.1.3

Hi, I have a little bit unusual (at least for me) problem. I have old video from camera (maybe 20 years) on my HDD and I would like to edit it. Problem is the audio does not fit with video - when somebody talks it is apparently delayed. Can you give me a hint how to fix it in FCPX? I tried to detach audio and move just audio line but it is not possible.
Thanks

I tried it again from the beginning and now I can move audio to the right. I would just need to move video to the right, so audio stays still.. I need to delay audio so one option is to delete part of beginning of audio track or somehow move video to the right but it is not possible, i guess video track in the beginning cannot be empty....
It is difficult to explain

Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!

PVC2300 recorded audio is not sync with video

Hi all,
I have a big big problem with my new PVC2300 network camera:
when I recording (from browser interface) the audio of the .avi file is not sync with video... in details in a record of 12-13 minutes the audio ends 8-10 seconds before the video... and I suppose that more lenght is the recorded file and more lenght is the desync between audio and video.
I use MPEG4 video stream at 640x480 30 fps and audio G.711 A-Law in mode "simplex - listen only".
For my usage this is a very big isssue... I hope there is a way to fix it.
Thanks in advice
Robert

I tried for 2 days for all possible configurations, editing: frame rate, quality, resolution. and type of stream (MPEG4 or MJPEG).
The only case that the recorded audio and video is sync is setting the SMB protocol to autorecord to a NAS.
But this mode have a lot of problems (.asf format, large file size and continuos recording without the ability to start and stop the recordings).
I think that the desync is a bug (a very big bug) of yours activex control that makes the recording.
I have find more or less a workaround using the Cisco Client... the program get an error on start (after unintall and install few times, and a lot of test, I understand that the only way to use the Cisco Client is running it as administrator.
Ok finnaly the cisco program works, but using it I found another problems:
after recorded, I tried to export a part of recording for testing the audio-video sync... the program gives me 2 format: AVI (without the ability to choose any other options) and ASF (with quality options). I tried first AVI format... the result sucks: bad video quality, 1,8 GB every 20 minutes and audio desync... no comment! ...then I tried the second export format: ASF...thats OK, the result is good... audio finally is syncronized with video.
My system is Windows Vista SP2 (32bit) and Internet Explorer 8... I tried also from an other pc with Windows 7... same problems recording from browser interface. I have installed on my system the lastest video codecs (for example: divx etc.).
For my usage I can use the Cisco Client but my ideal usage will be recording from browser.
I think these problems are very serious for a product as is this camera.
I hope there is a way to resolve they... maybe with a future firmware update or installing an other software.
Thanks
Robert

Gettin audio track and instrument in time.

i have logic pro 7.2 but when i import an audio track and then try to create an audio instrument in the matrix edit i cannot seem to get the audio instrument in time with the audio track and they both hav the same bpm. so cannot anyone help me plz im sure its a simple thing 2 do

Presuming the tempos are a spot on match, then It's all about locking the first downbeat of the audio to the track, in this example ( a drum loop ) the orange anchor point is locked to the first kick drum of the audio in the sample editor, so no matter where I drop the audio, it'll always be in time.
If the start point is not as clearly defined, the just move the anchor around till it sounds right.

How do I get the audio track to stick with the video track?

This should be an easy one...Let's see who can answer first.....ready, set, GO!
