Low audio levels on itunes purchased music video's

Can anyone tell me how to boost the audio levels on purchased itunes music video's ?
I have purchased a few videos lately from the itunes music store and occasionally I find the odd one which has very low audio levels. I assume that itunes has not monitored some video/audio files closely enough when importing them into the in tunes system itself and the audio levels have fallen a little low on certain tracks. Have a look at some of the Eurythmics songs - 'Angel', 'Missionary Man', or 'Best of You' by the Foo Fighters for example.I have boosted these tracks by 100% within the in itunes track options, but its still a very low level compared to some of the other tracks I have downloaded.
I tried to import one of these video files to Mpeg Stream Clip to see if I could use the audio boost function within that program but it didn't like the video file ? I presume because it was an itunes purchased video, therefore a protected file.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or what setting I should be using, doing with Mpeg Streamclip to fix this problame if this program can fix this issue ?

TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
Help please!!!

Downloading audio portion only of Purchased Music Videos

I have purchased a few music videos from the ITunes store.
Does anyone know if it is possible to download the
audio portion only onto an iPod nano ?

found a temporary solution, but it still strange. for each clip I did "get info" and changed the media type from "video clip" to "films". Now they play just fine.

ITunes Purchased Music/Videos Not Playing On iPod

Hi All..
Long time reader, first time 'post-er'..
I have a problem that is starting to annoy me.. All my purchased music and videos from iTunes will play in iTunes and transfer to the ipod, but when I go into play these from the iPod.. It starts to play (on videos the black screen comes up) then just jumps back to the menu.
My videos that I have converted from DVD are perfect, and songs I have imported are also perfect.. Its just everything from iTunes wont play on my iPod.. But I obviously cant convert my iTunes videos because they are protected.. To get my purchased music on my iPod I need to burn and import.. Annoying isnt it?!
Anyone have any ideas??? Would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks Again!!

ITunes Match music videos are ineligible, how can I get them back onto my iPod?

Hi,
I subscribed to iTunes Match earlier today, turned it on and did the same on my ipod touch but have now discovered all my music videos are ineligible and can't be tansfered via iCloud. It wont allow me to sync my iPod via USB cable. Is there anyway I can get my videos back onto my iPod? Thanks

I'm looking into this as well. Most of my videos were purchased from apple and showed up originally. But, I had a lot of problems with the tags in my regular music and had to more or less purge my iCloud library. Afterwards, I had the same problem as you. iTunes would no longer match the iTunes purchased music videos.
Anyhow, there is a quick way to get them transfered to your iPod.
Right click on the videos and use "Get Info" to change them to a "TV Show."
You can also set the "Show" to something like "Music Videos."
I also set all then music videos grouping to "Music Video."
Created a smart playlist that just listed all things grouped as such.
Make sure Sync TV Shows is checked.
I may have left a step or two out. But, you should be able to handle the rest from there.
This is what I'm doing at least until I find a better solution.

Very Confused about iTunes-purchsed Music Videos in iTunes and on iPod

I've searched and searched but can't seem to find previous discussions that address my questions about iTunes-purchased music videos.
I would call myself an experienced iTunes and iPod user. I have no problems working with music, movies, TV shows...
Here are my music video comments and questions:
Why don't I have a Music Video playlist on iTunes but there is one on my iPod.
How can I create a music video playlist?
Why does my iPod Classic show multiple copies of the same music video in the music video playlist and in the general music list?
That seems like a good start. Any and all comments, suggestions, etc...GREATLY appreciated.

*How can I create a music video playlist?*
In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist. Match the rule "Video Kind">"Is">"Music Video"
Check the box "Live Updating"

TS1717 iTunes stops and shuts down when I try to play a purchased music video clip, any ideas on how to fix.

Has anybody had this and know a fix?
I try to play a purchased music video clip and iTunes shuts down or windows 7 shuts it down as an unexpected error.
This only started when I updated to 10.7.
re-loaded, reset, repaired.
Still no go.
Thanks

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

ITunes crashes when I try and play a purchased music video

This is a new problem and appeared out of the blue. Any suggestions how to fix?

I'm having a similar problem (see thread below) - my purchased music videos used to play until I tried to move my library from my old PC to my new Mac. The restore kept failing as soon as a video file (.m4v) was encountered. Had to manually import blocks of music and avoid the videos. Now have my music again but iTunes just crashes when I try to play the music vids I bought from iTunes.

ITunes Purchased Music Won't Play

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I sync my iPhone and it gets all the music I had selected. But I've discovered a number of songs that won't play...and these just happen to be iTunes purchased music! My regular mp3's will play.
Now I know the purchased songs work because they play on my Nano and Shuffle2. The purchased songs also play in iTunes.
Any ideas?
And a second question...I've downloaded a few TV shows which play fine in iTunes but do not play on the iPhone. Is there a "trick" to playing my purchased music and video on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi!
I discovered that my purchase music and videos stopped playing when I went into a Tully's coffee shop and attempted to access their Wi-fi network. I don't know if this was the cause of me losing access to my purchase music, but this is when the problems started. When I got home today I unloaded all the music playlists off of my iphone using itunes, and then I added them back in and re-synced. This seem to do the trick. I can now listen to all of my purchased music and watch my purchased videos. Give it a try. I hope that we don't have to do this sort of thing all the time.

Purchased music videos completely white PLEASE HELP!

I purchased quite a few music videos from the iTunes Store and since i upgraded about 6 months ago (this is the first chance I've had to look into it!) I've had so many problems with iTunes.
Every time I try to watch a purchase music video- all I can see is a white screen with a yellowish outline of objects in the video. The sound is kinda alright, a bit crackly, but still unacceptable considering the videos are $3.69 each!
Can someone please help me out? Or just tell how I can re-download these videos for free?
THANK YOU!
peace

Hi, Jen the Hen.
Have a look at this Apple Support page , in particulat the section A purchased video looks or sounds bad.

Low audio level in encoded ac3 file

When I export from FCS 2 using Compressor, audio ac3 file has a low audio level. I was trying change settings in compressor but no result. Therefore I export audio from FCP as quick time movie - AIFF audio file. Then audio level is the same as in FCS. But file is so big. It takes so much space on my DVD when authoring with DVD Studio Pro. I make DVD - PAL. Anybody with the same problem?

I'm glad you mentioned the preset, Silal. I kept meaning to bring that up, but forgot.
Set Preprocessing to None. That will keep high level short duration sounds, like drums, etc., from overtaking your dialog, and crushing it.
The way DIALNORM is intended to work, you set it to the average level of your dialog from your editing app. If you're working in FCP, then that might be something like -12. That setting will cause the player to attenuate the level so dialog is attenuated by 19dB (-31 minus -12 = 19dB of attenuation by the player).
That, in turn, allows the ridiculously loud music and nat sounds in the film soundtrack to sound "more natural", as they blast your ear drums into bits. "More natural" means "much louder than dialog, just like they are in real life".
Bah, humbug! Let me hear what the talent is saying. I don't care if I can hear every nuance of that rock ballad, I just want to be able to follow the story, the plot.
Hey, I'm an old dude, you whippersnappers.
But back to the point, by setting DIALNORM to -31, the player works out the math like this:
-31 minus -31 = 0dB of attenuation
So, your level should be exactly what it was before the compression/conversion. Why it isn't is a mystery, still.

Converting iTunes Purchased Music to MP3

I have been reading the posts about not being able to changed the iTunes purchased music to MP3 format. I understand that the only way to do it is to burn the purchased music to a disc and then once it is burned, import it back into iTunes. I can't get it back into iTunes without the protection. Do you go to iTunes then to import? Help!!

I FINALLY figured it out!!!! Sometimes I am sooo
slow! Thanks for your help!
Its not your fault. The French are considering making Apple
behave responsibly and allow use of iTunes music on any
audio player.
The requirement to burn to CD and re-import just so I can
use a non-Apple music player....well, it looked good to legal
and why should Apple care about anything else.
It's not really fair to expect a company with Apple's reputation for
innovated ways of serving generally accepted needs to keep it up
forever. Or is it?

Apple TV - How to purchase Music Videos on ATV?

I see that I can rent movies and TV shows but don't see how you can purchase Music Videos on Apple TV ...... do I have to purchase them first in Itunes on the computer then watch it on Apple TV? I have the new Apple TV device (the small black hockey puck)
(Also Are the music videos HD sold in Itunes Store?)

Yes, it's crazy - AppleTV 1 was an ideal vehicle for browsing music videos (even if you bought them in itunes), it makes no sense that they'd leave this out on teh new model.
Send feedback - i would like this restored too:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
The SD/HD weirdness is all down to the media companies and their licensing - I'm sure Apple would love to offer all combinations but they can't. I'm more frustrated on a slow broaqdband connection that many titles can be rented in HD on AppleTV but not in itunes with a view to AppleTV playback.
I also assume for rentals you are aware AppleTV 2 only shows either HD or SD depending on your selection in Settings whereas ATV1 offered either if available with no fiddling in Settings.
I found a couple of movies for the kids in HD the other day in iTunes, and was going to buy them - we already have SD versions on DVD - then just like that they'd gone and only available in SD again. Crazy. Saved me a few pounds.

ITunes wiped all but iTunes purchased music from my iPad mini and my iPod nano instead of transferring the cd uploads into iTunes. Is there any way of recovering my music. Very disappointed!

Initially things worked fine. I was very pleased. I had my music library in itunes, on my Ipod nano, and a thumbdrive to back up most of my music.
When I tried to sync the music from itunes onto my new ipad mini last week it deleted the albums in itunes leaving me with only purchased itunes items in the account, On the new Ipad mini CD's from my collection could not be played but they were in fact listed. My new mac will not read the music files I backed up onto a thumb drive or show the uploaded CD music collection. Additionally when I logged into itunes with out any devices connected from my PC the itunes account was completely up to date with my CD's and purchase items in Itunes. As soon as I tried to sync it with my Ipad mini that virtual access to the collection was wiped out leaving only purchased items.
By trying to upload CD music from my Ipod nano into Itunes (originally uploaded into itunes from CD's and synced to the ipod nano in the first place, taking more than a weeks time), I am prompted to reset the entire ipod nano to factory settings (it gives no other option). I was following the instructions emailed to me from the applecare team. This was my only recourse for recovery of the lost music files, the only device left that had my album collection aside from the owned CD's. Now the ipod nano is being wiped clean and left with only the itunes purchased music ( same thing that happened with the itunes account and now the Ipad). When I disconnect the ipod nano to see if there are any albums still left on the device, it gives me an error that it was improperly disconnected.
I just wanted to add the music from itunes to my new mac and the new ipad mini. Instead I have lost all of my uploaded CD's and now have only purchased items in itunes, the new ipad mini, the new mac, and the ipod nano. I have to re-upload my entire music library into itunes/icloud from CD's again and hopefully be able to then sync it with my new devices.
However it may be better to buy the itunes purchased music on CD's from a store, Cut my losses while I can and never buy anything from apple or itunes again. Atleast I will not have my entire music collection wiped out for moving it between my own devices. Itunes match doesn't do **** either. I have wasted alot of hard earned cash on devices products and itunes purchases by converting to apple products and services.
What a big mistake.
Very dissapointed with the interface. Very Very Dissapointed!

Had the same issue when I changed computers. I backed up my I-tunes files, including CDs, but I-Tunes will not recognize anything but Apple purchases now. There were 300+ CDs in that original catalog.
