Missing some sound in burned DVD

When I play my burned DVD the music sound track is there but when the music is ducked for the vocals, the vocals are not there.

I have been trying to make a dvd with a sound track. I checked the sound and saved as mp3 format placed sound in sound box, tested it with slide sow. All is well, then I burn it, and when I play the burned disk I find there is audio drop out each time i remaster it. Is the conversion from mp3 to mp4 during the burning process failing causing the drop out?

Poor quality sound on burned DVD - Any help?

Hello,
I am experiencing the following problem: I export videos from Premiere Pro as m2v and wav, repectively. I import them in Encore and let Encore transcode the wav file into AC3. In the preview on the computer, the sound seems OK. When I play the DVD on a set-top player, the sound quality is very poor.
I tried to use PCM encoding in Encore and the result was the same. Any solution? Do I have to look for another AC3 encoder? From what I gathered searching this forum, the encoder in Encore should work fine.

Thank you Stan and Bill for taking time to reply.
I did some tests and here's what I found:
When I play the burned DVD in my computer (using Power DVD) the sound is acceptable. The problem might be that the set-top DVD player/recorder (Panasonic), or the sound system in my TV set, or a combination of both, are too sensitive to the quality of the sound track. There are no sound problems with the system however when playing commercial DVD or a DVD recorded with the Panasonic recorder. I re-edited the movie in Premiere and I exported audio as AC3 with the SurCode encoder, using all the free trials (the DVD had 3 timelines). I burned a DVD with this sound file and the quality was significantly improved when played on the same system. Conclusion: It seems the Encore AC3 encoder is not of the same quality as the SurCode. Are you of the same opinion?
Thanks again,
Harry.

No Sound in Burned DVD

Hi,
I burn a DVD, which looks fine, but there is no sound in the movie. There Was sound in the movie in the iDVD file!
I am in a huge time crunch and despite looking through all sorts of documentation and in every nook and cranny of iDVD, I cannot figure out what to do to fix this.
A couple of weird behaviors that might be involved: This DVD project is 168 minutes long, so I am burning it to a dual-layer disk. When I go to burn, the message comes up that it would fit on a single-layer disk (which it would not!). It offers me the choice to "eject" or "proceed". If I click "eject", it doesn't eject the blank dvd, it just acts as if nothing happened and goes back to the iDVD project. If I click "proceed", six hours later I'm presented with a burned DVD with no sound.
Help?

Yes, I'm using 5.01.
(I downloaded 6.04 but apparently can't install it without an intermediate update?)

Hello,
I have a problem with a movie i encode for a DVD. The movie begin with no sound, and around one minute begin but with "white noise" (in fact background noise). When i encode the aif files in AC3 this background noise disappear (in fact the sound begin only 5 second later with the first voices)

Plays ONLY some songs when burning dvd

Can anyone help me out here? I have 4 songs in our play list for the dvd...when we preview they ALL play, when we burn only 2 or 3 play. What is up with this?
Thanks,

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Importing from burned DVDs

Hi,
I'm about to buy a Canopus ADVC300 to import old VHS home movies into FCE, but I'd also like to import footage from some full length burned DVDs so that I can add effects, titling etc. (They're school plays, so no copyright protections, etc.) Can I also use that device to import the DVDs? I'm not sure if it will work since the DVDs are technically already digital, but I'd like to be able to use the Canopus to clean up the inevitably shakiness and bad audio quality. Will this work? Can I just plug my DVD player into the Canopus the way I would a VCR? Is there a better solution that will maintain/clean up the quality?
Thanks!

Yes, you can plug your DVD player into the ADVC-300 just the same as your VCR.
An alternative which will be faster is MPEG Streamclip to directly convert the DVD video to DV or AIC for editing in Final Cut. MPEG Streamclip is free and exellent. However you may need to purchase the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple ($19.99) if you don't already have it installed on your Mac. (The conversion is faster because the ADVC works in real time as you play back the video on the VCR or DVD player; MPEG Streamclip can directly convert the video and audio from the files on the DVD).

Troubles burning dvd ?

Hi,
I just reinstalled Arch after I accidentally broke my pacman database, and I have some troubles with burning dvd : neither graveman nor growisofs in console works. As soon as I launch the burning I get an error (input/output error). What's very strange is I succeeded two times in burning, but it's not reproductible (I tried something like fifty times).
So if someone has the same problem and/or knows a way to get it back to work, your post is welcome
Thanks for helping.

many people have been having this problem after recent updates. You may want to have a look here:

TS2289 Audio in iMovie 11 files but missing in sections when shared to iDVD. The movie and audio plays fine in iMovie but my burned iDVD movie is missing some audio .

I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD. Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?

Hi
Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
two notes
No Audio in iMovie
Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
Work around -
• Select needed audio to one new playlist
• Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
• Use this in the movie-project
Other origins are
1. strange / alient file formats as -
• .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
• Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
• Close iMovie and other programs
• Start GarageBand
• Make a new GB-project and play some notes
• Close GB and Save
• Now try iMovie again
3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
without me knowing why.
4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
• Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
Stuttering audio and video
1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
Mix down to one audio clip
3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
•OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it
Yours Bengt W

Imovie sound loss during dvd burn

Hey there people of the orchard!
What should I do if imovie has sound during imovie but when I burn it into dvd form in idvd the play back has no, as in NO audio!??? I tried to turn minidv footage into a dvd for play back during a family reunion with idvd- but all the burned copies had no sound. i had to resort to playback within imovie, which was ok until screen saver kicked in 1/2 way thru... sheesh, and I was all set to drop the big apple pitch on various relatives. I have reinstalled both quick time and imovie and still no audio onto burned discs.
Any ideas greatly appreciated-
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Aaron
Just random shooting and scanning the forum:
- audio from iTunes - make an audio CD .aiff - use this in iMovie project
- mp3 sound gives problems - use .aiff
- low free space on internal hard disk = problems of various kins
- 12-bit sound and OneStep DVD
- version mix: Mac OS X.4.10, iDVD 6.0.3 and QuickTime 7.1.6
Update:
Followed all the directions on this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550
Re-installed quicktime.
Problem persists: good audio in iMovie HD, share it with iDVD, good audio on preview, but when burn to DVD or save as disk image = no audio
Update:
•Problem still persists: no audio on DVDs made/burned from iDVD
But, I have some work-arounds:
#1. If I drop my iMovie project file into the "Toast DVD-Video" window it the result is a DVD with audio.
#2 "MovieGate" also makes and image that has good audio.
Still hoping very much that there will be a solution to this problem posted here
Stu
- more - my thinking
Media type
- I use Verbatim DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
- I save a Disk-Image and burn it with Roxio Toast™ at an as slow speed as possibly
(This can also be done with Apple Disk Util tool)
Also to try
- Deleting iDVD pref file
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
- or start a new account - log into this and re-try (do a new iDVD project)
AND I would also
- Run: Repair permisions: Apple Disk Util tool (on hard disk/Applications/Tools/Disk Util tool
and I would also
- Run: Repair hard disk: Apple Disk Util tool - to do this You need to start from
CD/DVD or external hard disk !

Apack sounds fine - Simulator/burned DVD definite audio pumping

Can't understand why after many days research/testing/fiddling I cannot seem to get the AC3 audio to play cleanly in DVD SP 2 simulator or when burnt to DVD...the FCP 4.5 audio is set between -12 and -6 (peaks), export as aiff files, compress in Apack at 192 kbs, stereo, -31 dialnorm (return entered), sounds great/fine when played back in Apack...import into DVD SP 2 and there is definite gain pumping or whatever one calls it throughout some tracks. Host will be speaking, at certain points, the volume will rise up, then the level will dip down for a second or two, then rise back up a bit even increasing the background hiss just a bit, then remain constant for a while, then rise up/down again...at least this always happens in the same places.
Wonder why only in DVD SP/burned DVD does this happen, and how does one overcome this? Very annoying.
Thanks much

Just to be sure - are you hearing this in DVD Player or on a set top player?
If you look in the DVD Player preferences, have you got the disable dolby dynamic range compression checked or unchecked?
If unchecked, this can give you the same effect as you describe... so try checking it and playing the disc again.

No sound when playing burned DVD with Windows Media Player

Hello!
I made a 10 minute movie which I burned , tested and delivered today.
But it turns out that when playing the DVD with WMP, there is no sound.
I had tested the movie playing it with powerDVD, and it worked as it should. When playing it with a normal DVD player and TV it works allright.
But I had not tested it with WMP. And sure enough, when playing it with WMP there is no sound!
The ones who will show the DVD will do it from a computer to a video projector, and maybe they don't have a "proper" DVD program installed. But I heard that there was sound when playing with "VLC" which is a relief.
But I feel the need to get to the bottom of why there is no sound with WMP? Any clues?

In NTSC-land, one has but two choices: PCM/WAV or DD AC3, which is a particular "flavor" of MPEG. In PAL-land, one does have the option of MPEG (not DD AC3) as an option, but that seems to be falling out of favor.
When MS was re-tooling WMP, they wanted to add back the functionality of commercial (pressed/replicated) DVD's, but sought to limit any burned DVD's. Do not know what the mindset is now, so much could have changed with a few iterations of WMP. I have to admit that I just do not reach for it that often.
In the Project, or Disc, menus, one can tell En which Audio Transcoding to use. As John T, suggests, I would definitely do a test with PCM/WAV, and X my fingers.
If your client(s) is/are set on WMP as the player, there is hopefully a scheme that you can get to work. Also, remember that some older versions of WMP might not play the DVD at all, unless one finds the right plug-in, that basically hacked the intended setup in those older versions. Just like when delivering to a client, and not knowing their systems' calibration, or setup, trying to cover every base in a particular player software might involve a lot of work, and prayer.
Good luck,
Hunt

Some sounds missing in Windows 8.1

Hi...Some months ago, I downloaded an update for IDT High def codecs via Windows Update in Windows 8. . Soon thereafter, I noticed that some sounds in some games were missing. I rolled back the drivers and the sounds were working again. Now with Windows 8.1 these sounds are missing again because 8.1 comes standard with the updated drivers. I would like to install the previous drivers but don't know where to find them. Or, if there is a workaround, i would sure appreciate any help anyone can give me.
This question was solved.

Burned DVDs skip on some Home Players

I know this is a topic that has been thrown around for some time, but is there any new info out there that can help the playback on the DVD home players that skip when you play burned DVD's (DVD-R & DVD+R). A group of us are trying to fix this problem. We have used different brands of DVD's as well.
One person suggested changing the bit Rate???
What do you know???

supposedly the DVD standard says bitrates of up to 10 Mbps are allowed. in practice, standalone players don't handle this. particilarly older players have problems.
first, the bitrate is the total (video + audio + subtitles). i had a video (miniDV) which i imported into FCP4 did some minor editing and sent it off to Compressor 2.0.1. in the MPEG4 panel, if i used anything higher than 6.5 for the peak bitrate for video, the disk would not work on a playstation 2 (the audio part i used dolby and it was only stereo). same dvd worked fine on Macs, XP and an high end dvd player.
so, yeah, the solution is to make sure the bitrate doesn't exceed 6.5Mbps. it also helps to burn at a slower speed (perhaps) and to use decent media (i've been using both TDK and Fujifilm w/o problems).

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? They play fine on computers but not on dvd players. Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times). Created in DVD studio pro.

Hi
Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
• BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
• Type of DVD - matters
- DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
- DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
- DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
I only use DVD-R
• BURN SPEED - matters
- Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
Yours Bengt W

DVD: black screen, some sound..

I bought my Mac in august 2010. Yesterday i was watching a dvd, everything was ok, but after 40min the dvd just stopped. Nothing i did helped, so I tried to restart. Since then, when I put in a dvd, there are a lot of starting sounds, I hear some music from the dvd, then the screen goes totally black. After that; nothing. Is there anything I can do or is it broken?

I've got a similar problem: I had it working, but had terrible sound problems with various components (DVD etc). I updated my HK firmware and that seems to have fixed all the problems with the other components but create new ones with ATV2. I'm running HDMI 1.4 from the ATV2 to the HK 255 amp, and no matter what I try and do, I can't seem to get any picture OR sound...
Does anyone know of a solution?
thanks
