Losing audio on long play out to tape
FCP 4. I am playing out a 2 hour long project in two chunks onto two 63 minute Mini DV tapes on a Sony camcorder. After about 30 minutes into the first play out the audio starts coming in and out, then halfway through the second chunk it goes altogether and doesn't come back.
Any thoughts?
Hello Ned, and welcome to the Forums,
Are your media drives all nice and clean and tidy? Are they getting very full? Are they Firewire drives? 400 or 800? This sounds like the drives aren't quite able to keep up with the layoff...
One other note - have you upgraded your FCP 4 as much as it can go? IIRC FCP 4.5 HD was a free upgrade to FCP 4, and was quite a bit more stable.

Need Audio help! Interview audio won't play out to tape.
My voiceover and Soundtrack audio sounds great, but my interviews sound terrible when I play out to DV to record to the camera.
I checked the item properties and noticed that all the good audio is at 44.1khz while the "bad" audio is at 48khz.
What can I do to make this play out?
Thanks!Hi(Bonjour)!
What is the sequence's audio format? It should be 48 kHz as it's standard in video editing software.
Did you capture audio interview from camcorder? What is the audio sampling format in audio menu? (32 or 48 kHz, 12 or 16 bit?)
The audio mixdown render may resolve this problem but it's always a good thing to resample each audio file to match the sequence sample rate:48 kHz.

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?
H-SPhoto
That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

[iPhone4 4.2.1] Video audio no longer plays when put to sleep
I have a video of a concert on my iPhone 4. Before the update, I was able to play it, put the phone in sleep mode and listen to the audio only. Now, whenever I try to do it, the audio just stops.
Is there any way to fix this? I liked being able to pop the phone in my pocket and just listen to the live versions of these songs without having to worry about accidentally tapping something with my fingers or wasting battery on playing video I'm not even watching.<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658709&tstart=75>

Can no longer play audio files embedded in a PDF
I can no longer play embedded audio files in PDFs in version 11 for Windows XP (though I could on an older version). The audio will not play on my Mac either. How do I fix this?
I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

Flash Player 11.2.202.228 no longer plays my audio flv

Netstream.Play.FailedOk, here is my ugly perl script I used to re-encode my flvs so that they work. You need to have ffmpeg and ffprobe in your current dir, specify the directory that you want to re-encode, and create a dir 'processedaudio' where it will put the processed files, and also have an image button_blue_play.png in your local directory. Basically, it makes a video out of the png of a few seconds longer than your audio (I found that necessary, to prevent cutting off), then adds the stream to your .flv. (it skips files that already have a video in them, and writes a list of those to 'videolist.txt')
use File::Copy;
$dir = $ARGV[0];
opendir LOCALDIR, $dir;
@dirlist = readdir LOCALDIR;
close LOCALDIR;
open(VIDEOSFILE,">videolist.txt");
foreach $file (@dirlist) {
if ($file =~ /flv/) {
print "got file $file\n";
$thisfile = $dir . "\\" . $file;

Playing out an HD sequence to SD tape
Hello,
can someone help?
I have an HD sequence ( 1920 x 1080, 1080i)which I am trying to play out to an SD tape (don't have an HD deck at mo).
The playout seems to freeze on one shot but the audio is fine. It also seems to be letterboxed.
Can someone suggest what I can do so it plays out normally (16:9) to SD tape?
thanksYou have to make a DV anamorphic sequence and put your edited HD sequence in that. It should not be letterboxed.
The camera needs to be set to record DV anamorphic so it will play back properly in 16:9.
Make sure everything in the sequence is rendered to full and that the audio is mixed down. -
A movie I bought a while ago will no longer play, instead it just shows a black screen and no audio. All of the other movies in my library play fine. Any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix it? Thanks for any help.
Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have similar problem, my apple tv which has always worked properly with my Samsung tv will no longer play any audio after the latest 5.1 upgrade. Very frustrating as it was working perfectly before. I am starting to not trust apple upgrades until proven for example ios6 on iPhone with that stupid map app instead of google maps.
I just want to buy and hear my iTunes music and videos on my apple tv, could before cant now. Thank you apple. Time to pack up the apple tv and start torrenting without the ios-bs.
Disheartened apple fan.Welcome to the discussion forums.
Try going to synching in the sources menu on your tv and selecting 'change itunes library', when it gives you the passcode check itunes to see if the tv is showing up as a new device, if so try entering the pass code. It may be that your tv is seeing itunes as a different library because of a recent upgrade. -
Flash Player 11.2.202.228 no longer plays my audio flv either
Audio flvs that previously would play fine no longer play. I get "NetStream.Play.Failed". This occurs when progressively playing over HTTP, i.e. starting NetConnection.connect(null) and then NetStream.play("http://url_of_my_flv");
Regular RTMP playback still works.
So, I've seen two posts with similar issues in the last day or so:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4307125
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4308222
However the fix mentioned in one is not useful since I don't use FLVPlayback component.
Any ideas?Hello,
This issue was resolved using Adobe Media Encoder, see this forum post for more infromation.
Please let us know if you still see issues.

If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!
wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review -
my iphone 4S no longer plays music output to speaker after updating to version 6.1.3. I am unable to reset the phone to an earlier version! How do I get my audio output to speaker back? (music, audible, youtube, netflix)
So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes. -
How do I get my speakers to play the Apple TV? My TV is recognizing the Apple TV and the sound is playing out of the TV speakers, but even though I plug my speakers into my TV, it does not play what the TV speakers are playing. Do I have to plg the speakers into the actual Apple TV unit? If so, do I need an "optical audio" plug in?
appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video -
I'm having problems with video play back in itunes 10.7.0.21 for windows 7. Video was playing fine, but now I'm having audio issues. Audio cuts in and out. Also video pauses and fast forwards. Does anyone know what would cause this all the suddenly? More importantly does anyone know how to fix this?
All sorted now. Thread can be closed!

ITunes 11.3 no longer plays AC-3 surround sound / audio.
I run iTunes in Windows, and upon updating to 11.3, the surround sound option (AC-3) no longer plays audio. Stereo works fine, but no surround sound plays at all. It worked in 11.2, but when upgrading to 11.3 it no longer works.
Possibly related: even in 11.2 it would work "inconsistently", meaning sometimes I would select the surround option and iTunes would either freeze or the sound would not play. 11.3 it won't work at all
Help?I have had this same issue, and my problems started about the same time (three weeks ago). When I started experiencing the program I updated to the latest version of QuickTIme, but it has not helped the problem. Seems I have no audio on MPEG1 files. I can open them in iTunes and they play fine. QuickTime doesn't even show that there's an audio file when I look up movie properties. GeneLC65, have you found any solutions yet?
Oh, also the audio files embedded in Director presentation files are broken. Anyone got a clue on this?
