Losing audio from dv after burn

created project in imovie 4.0.1 and shared to idvd 4.0.1. Previewed in idvd and audio is fine, burned a dvd and the audio from the dv camcorder is lost. Not all of the dv camcorder audio is lost but probably 75% of it. Any ideas on how to solve this problem. All voiceovers and music that was added came through fine.

I would like to piggy-back off of kwinst's problem and request additional info from Shippey:
I, too, just created an iMovie (probably my 20th) in 4.0.2. It consists of 5 minutes of video taped footage, a few titles, and two songs from iTunes. It plays beautifully in iMovie. Everything's intact. Furthermore, when I slip the burned dvds of it into other Mac drives, the movie plays in the viewer just fine...
The problem is that the burned dvds (burned using iDVD) lose the audio that is part of the video footage when played on an actual DVD player. The iTunes songs play fine. It's just the audio embedded withing the video that is nonexistent on the DVD when it's played on a DVD player (such as one that is hooked up to a t.v.).
Aside from needing to know why this is happening, I'm wondering if THIS has anything to do with the problem: the original video footage came from a Sony camera that I do not believe is digital. It was on a larger cassette, possibly a super 8? I hooked that camera up to my Sony digital camera (which I have used numerous times for iMovies), and copied the footage onto the digital camera. That little tape played back fine, plus all audio was intact in the iMovie, so I'm guessing the dubbed footage imported into iMovie is just fine, too.
So why is it that when I burn a dvd of the iMovie, the songs play well but the audio embedded within the video is nonexistent/just BARELY audible when the t.v?
is turned up to the hightest setting. When I dubbed the super 8 footage into my digital camera was I supposed to select a 16 or 32-bit option? Where do I find such a setting on a camera?
Please help me. I am at the end of my rope!

Why does my wife loose audio from me after 20 min.

I have no problems connecting to my wife with her new iPad3 when I call her with my iPod4 but I just installed FaceTime on my MacBook Pro and once I connect with her she looses audio from me after 20 minutes into the call. If I call her back she does not get any audio. When I call her 2 days later with my MacBook again it works for about the first 20 minutes and she looses audio again. I love my wife and want to talk to her for more then 20 minutes every 2 days and do it on a larger screen then my iPod any help please?
Seems this is the place for answers as the only responce from Apple is try the forum we don't support our work just sell it and leave the suport up to the users.
Pretty lame eh? But I guess thats why your all here you found that out a while ago i bet.
Thanks

Batteries die, that is a fact of life if. Most batteries only last a year or two with heavy use. As you appear to use your battery a great deal, your battery will lose its life very quickly. Keep this in mind if you get a new battery (which I would recommend at this point) try not to use the battery bellow 15% charge as the battery loses the most life in the last 15% of the charge. Also, unless you really need to use the battery all the time, plug in. There is nothing wrong with using the battery for a few hours every day, but if you use it all the time, your cycle count will go up fast, and you'll go through batteries fast.

Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
c. To get iDVD to run OK
• Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
• I use Verbatim DVDs
• DVD-R
• Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
(Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
• iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
Good luck Yours Bengt W

No audio in dvd after burning.

So I've burned hundreds of projects before and have never had this happen. After encoding the video the project goes straight to writing to disc. Skips audio encoding altogether and therefore I have no audio on the disc whatsoever. It's not a menu audio problem or anything, just the actual audio that matches the video.
If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried twice for this project same thing happens.

Hi t
a. most common origin is - music/audio from iTunes.
Way around - copy out audio as .aiff to eg. an audio CD. Use this in Your project.
b. Try to do a DiskImage. Play it with Apple-DVD player. OK ?
If OK then burn with Apple Disk Util tool or if You got Toast™.
Yours Bengt W

No audio on dvd after burning

iMac 10.6.1./iDvd 7.1.2. I can see that there are 2 files in my movies folder, 1 for audio and the other for video. The video is there in its folder but there is no audio in the folder, it's empyt. 1 1/2 hours of writing from iMovie to iDvd then another 3 hours writing to a dvd disc to have no audio with the video *****, hellllppp please

Once you have the project as you want it in iDVD save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Project is dropping audio and connections after burning

A project was created on an Intel machine running Tiger, then modified with all new assets on a PowerPC G5 with Tiger (10.4.11). When burned to disc, some menu audio is missing, and some connections (button links, menu timeouts) are non-functional. This has happened before and the solution has been:
1) Delete all the PAR files on the PowerPC
2) Copy the project file to the Intel machine (now running Leopard)
3) Build and burn the project.
This is not working, nor is deleting and re-creating the offending menus. Short of rebuiliding this numbingly complex project, does anyone have a clue as to how to solve this or why this would be happening?
Disc functions perfectly in Simulator and Mac's software DVD Player; only the burned disc drops features. Both machines are running the newest version of DVDSP 4 (newer than the DVDSP 4 version that created the project file).

I started getting this exact problem when playing The Crew with my ZXR card. Audio channels start going to the wrong outputs within 5 minutes of playing the game every time. I ran the channel test after playing and stopping the game and they were still screwed up. After rebooting the PC, the problem is fixed again.
This is the first game I have noticed this problem with. This is the first game that has been this demanding on my PC and graphics cards (SLI, both running at 100% to a 4K monitor). I am wondering if the PCI bus is getting hammered too hard.
I have ordered a Sound Blaster X7 to see if the problem goes away. If not, I will be sending that back and going back to onboard audio.

Audio levels of added audio go wonky after burn

My final stage of imovie production is adding the soundtrack. I have done this with great success using idvd 4 and 5 in the past. However, I recently upgraded to 06 and problems emerged.
When I preview my imovie, everything is perfect, audio sounds great with nice audio fades and mixes. BUT, after I send it to idvd and then burn it, those fades and mixes are no longer smooth. In transition between clip, the audio level of the added material jumps way up then abrubltly goes away. As well, as an added song fades away to zero level, at the end it momentarily jumps back up to full volume and I cant even see why this is happening when I go back to imovie and look at the levels.
I have tried not fading songs through clip transitions, but I still get such problems, as I just described. This is very puzzling as I have faded audio through video transition in the past with ease. As well, I have a small side buisness where I sell my finished product and I haven't made a movie yet, since I 'upgraded' several months ago without experiencing these extrememly frustrating audio problems.
I hope there is some advice out there that will help me solve this.
Steve

Hello, steviesteve,
John is right....in the iMovie discussions there are lots of messages regarding sound problems in burned DVDs. Sound is fine in iMovie....no fixes, some work-arounds you might try. Sorry I don't have the exact links, but you can do a search in iMovie 6.

Audio drops out after burning to a disk.

I just finished my Final Cut Express project and used iDVD to burn it to a disk. Half way through the slide show, the audio drops out.
Is there a way to fix this?

Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.
Is this problem now showing up in the iDVD preview mode? Or is it with subsequent burned DVD's?
Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. The disk image will show you how your project will appear when played on a standard DVD player. See if this problem is repeated. If everything is fine, go ahead and burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Losing windows from Firefox after closing them.

I have been using Firefox instead of Chrome for a long time as with Firefox it is easier to navigate through my tabs (unlike Chrome that lumps them together -- you can't even see the title of each tab if you have say, 20 tabs) and the fact that firefox only loads tabs on demand -- which saves me a lot of lag compared to Chrome that loads all tabs when you start it.
I'm an avid online shopper so I tend to open up close to 40 tabs per session/window for shopping, and then I would have another window open to do my work. Usually, I set my settings to 'Open tabs and windows from previous session' so I can open up my first window, then go to 'Recently closed windows' to open my second. It has been working perfectly, until today when my Firefox got updated. I would completely lose my first window no matter how much 'System restore' I did on my computer. (I close my windows in the sequence of second-first so that I can opne it the same way again)
Is there a way to fix this problem? I would hate to lose my important tabs and it would be a hassle if I had to mix the two together.

Which Operating System are you using as you appear to have posted with a mobile device?
It is best to use Firefox/File > Exit if you want to preserve all open windows.
If you first close each of the other windows then only the last closed window will be reopened.
Maybe Firefox updated to 25.0.1 and that has caused this to happen (a restart with only the last window opening)

DVD simulates fine, no audio on menu after burn

This is a problem that has been driving me crazy, I've spent weeks authoring a DVD package consisting of three films, bonus features, and the soundtrack.
I wasn't sure how to approach the soundtrack, I ended up making it up as a set of menus, so that you can easily navigate next track, prev track, back to menu whist listening to the songs. I've set these up exactly as I have every other menu, and everything works perfectly when I simulate it within Encore CS5. Alas when I burn the DVD the music will play for the first track, but not for any others.
I've tried this with .aiff .wav .ac3 same result each time. The part that really has me stumped is that the first track will play, and every menu is set up in the exact same way.. therefore I can't see what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And use normal black text on a white background. I can't even read the problem.

Audio Sync issue after burning DVD

This is a strange one. I have a DVD made up of several videos of various length. One 15 minutes, One 7 minutes, and the rest under 5 minutes & 17 seconds. The problem is that the two longer ones are out of sync on the burned DVD (and even the build playing in VLC) even though they are fine throughout the rest of the process (FCP, DVDSP timeline, & DVDSP simulation). The rest of the videos are also just fine. I have no idea what to do about it.

They were all encoded in compressor and all are about 7.6 Mb/s. The thing is, only 2 of 14 have the issue. Granted, they are the 2 longest, but not by that much. And it is out of sync for the entire program, it doesn't gradually get out of sync. Also, opening the Video_TS folder (on the computer, not the disk) in VLC shows the same problem, so its not the player, the disk media, or even the burning process. It's somewhere in the "build" process. I will try a lower data rate for those two, but it should be fine for less than an hour of material.

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

After burning to dvd, using idvd, movie stops on frame but audio continues

After creating imovie which works perfectly, and also after trasferring to idvd works perfectly, i have problems when playing back dvd after burning to disc. The movie stops but the audio continues. I altered the clip but same thing happened in next clip after next burn. I don't think its a corrupt clip, but maybe something to do with WHEN it occurs in the movie. Any suggestions? After 4 goes and many hours burning I am stumped!

Hi Tomma1
And welcome to apple discussions. It's good you chose to use 16 bit audio for all of your source material. And assuming this is accurate info .... From what I can tell, you are doing nearly everything correctly. However let me ask you a few questions.
1. Are you using the boot volume (the hard drive where iDvd and Leopard are actually located) to encode your dvd (yes/no)?
2. More importantly, does the disc image also go out of sync when played thru apple's dvd player app? or does it only happen on the burned dvd-r?
3. Are you using Verbatim Dvd-R or an alternate brand? if it's the latter, then for troubleshooting purposes while on this forum; please use Verbatim Dvd-R. (it helps us eliminate additional / possible variables). Thereafter feel free to use the media that works best for you and your mac.
4. Have you tried an alternate encoding setting other than pro quality setting? and do you get the same results?

After burning a audio CD, the Create LightScribe Label window does not show

I found burning a LightScribe label after burning with iTunes directions. It says that iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler. After burning the CD, a Create LightScribe Label window is supposed to appear. It does not. Why? Help!!
HP Pavilion a1220n Windows XP
HP Pavilion a1220n Windows XP

No one answered his question. On HP it says:
Creating a LightScribe label with iTunes
iTunes works with Sonic Express Labeler to conveniently burn labels on a data CD or audio CD from iTunes. The playlist you create in iTunes to burn a disc is automatically imported into Express Labeler so that this information is available for you to use on your LightScribe label.
NOTE: To use Express Labeler from iTunes, the data or music tracks in the playlist your are using must fit on a single CD.
Click Start, All Programs, iTunes, and then click iTunes again.
Burn a data or audio CD with iTunes. When the burning process is complete, click Yes on the Create LightScribe Label window.
Make sure that Disc Label is selected in Step 1: Select Project.
Select a label template by clicking the left or right arrows next to Layout and choosing a layout.
NOTE: The various layouts show different amounts of playlist information. Some show only the playlist title, others show the playlist title and track names. You can edit the playlist information by clicking Disc Title to open the Edit Disc Title window.
Click Tracks to display the Edit Tracks window. Click New to display the Track window. Enter text to identify the first track or file (you can optionally enter artist and date, or length), and then click OK.
Repeat step 5 for each track or file on the disc.
Click the left or right arrows next to Background to select design elements for the disc. The selections you make are previewed in the disc window.
NOTE: If you use a color image, LightScribe burns it as a greyscale (monochrome) image.
When you are satisfied with the appearance of your label design, insert the LightScribe disc (label-side down) into the disc drive tray and then click Print.
From the Disc Label menu, select LightScribe 12cm Disc.
Select a Contrast Level and then click OK to begin burning the label. The estimated time to complete the label is displayed, along with a progress bar. You can continue to work on your PC while LightScribe is burning the label.
NOTE: A sudden bump or vibration of the computer during the labeling process may affect the quality of the label.
His question is why this does not happen. What version of iTunes are you using? Is an upgrade to the newest version needed? I woul dlik eto hear form others who use lightscribe with itunes and how they do it.

After burning a slide show, I get a skip in audio

After burning a slide show, II get a skip in the audio about every 5 min. of run time. I imported the pictures from i photo and the music from an itunes play list. When I play the entire thing in preview it runs fine with no problems, but after burning to a dvd, I get a skip every 5 min. I burned to hp DVD-R (16x) and Memorex DVD-R (16x). Still the skip. I have burned to Best preformance, High Quality and Professional Quality. I have even slowed the burn time to 4x. Still the skip. I noticed the bar at the bottom of the screen always reads 5 min. for the audio duration and when it goes back to 0 is when it skips. The run time when I put the cursor on the audio well reads the correct 3min:35sec.

SlideShow function in iDVD - is limited to 99 photos per show.
Creating the SlideShow in iMovie HD6 or FinalCut - doesn't limit this but offers 100% control over process (audio and transitions)
Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - will degrade picture quality as they only deliver every second line over to iDVD.
I never use "Share to iDVD" in any iMovie version.
• iMovie up to HD6 - Just close it and import movie project from within iDVD
• iMovie'08 to 11 - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD) will give as good quality as they can do
