Music video on IDVD - distorted audio

I just finished editing my music video on final cut express hd 3.5, saved it as a ipod video, dragged it into idvd's "media" folder, burned the dvd, and my audio/song was quite distored. I imported it into final cut as 16-bit, 48khz audio. This is correct, right?
when Iplayed it in my regular dvd player, the audio was quite distorted, yet in the apple's dvd player, it played fine. What's going on?
Should I instead save the video in FCP as a .mov (quicktime) file?
Also, what is the best quality I can save it to without creating too large a file to fit onto a dvd? (The video is 4.5 min. long.)

Welcome to the forums.
In highest quality mode, DVDs hold an hour of video so you have plenty of room to spare and don't need to worry about producing a small file size. iDVD cares about the length, not the file size, but some file formats (like DV Stream - .dv) are more compatible with iDVD.

Playing YouTube or iPod music videos no longer outputs audio to car stereo.

My car stereo is a Pioneer DEH2200ub
Since the 4.2.1 upgrade on my iPhone4 something has changed from <4.1
Previously, I could play a YouTube favorite, connect to my head unit, and it'd play just fine out my speakers and display the video.
Although now with the update, whenever I plug in my usb my iPhone stops playing the video on screen and gives me a message that says something like "This device is plugged into an external display" and shows the little TV out icon. At that point no audio comes out from the car stereo.
This also happens when trying to watch a music video in my actual iPod library.
Does anyone know the specific reason this is different now or a solution?

Music Videos in iTunes have audio, but no picture

Recently, I noticed that when I click on a song in iTunes, the audio for the song will play, but not the picture. I have found, however, that by going to View > Video Size, and then clicking on any of the sizes, the picture for the video will appear, but I don't want to do that every time that I want to watch a music video... I'm just looking for a way for me to watch videos by simply double-clicking on the name of the video.
Also, I would like to note that my music videos work perfectly fine on my iPod, it is only iTunes that I'm having a problem with. The only things that I can think of recently for having anything to do with this would be either upgrading to iTunes 8.2 or buying several new music videos.

OMG Kevin thank you so much, I was having the exact same problem and was advised by iTunes Store Support to uninstall iTunes - with a 38 CD backup that would have taken some time, your fantastic solution has saved me so much time - THANK YOU!!!

2.2 Music Video Playlist problem-no audio (every other MusicVideo)

I updated to 2.2 over the weekend so that I could have MusicVideo Playlists (plus all the other enhancements). BUT, the audio on the musicvideos only plays on EVERY OTHER musicvideo. Each one works individually. The playlist works properly on the iMac that syncs to the AppleTV, but the audio only plays on every other one.
I've tried mucking with the Audio settings (the auto-level check item), but to no avail. If I start on the first one, only items 1, 3, 5, .... have audio (video is fine). If I start on item 2, then the even numbered videos have audio.....
Any idea what's going on here? Suggestions?

just my 2 cents...but i have about 550+ and I havent seen (heard) a problem w/ any of them yet. Encoded almost all of them with either iSquint or VisualHub on the mp4 setting...with or without h.264

Organizing music videos

In iPhone 5 OS7 Video app my Music Videos are separate not by artists then their videos is their a way to fix this problem? Example Katy Perry I have 4 Music videos of her's downloaded on my computer and added to iTunes liberty but when I sink the Video app just puts them all together with my over 400 personal music video's that I have put into iTunes and scrolling down through all that without a Search or Alphabet key is daunting.

There are 21 music videos and then the audio commentary at the end. I bought it from iTunes as a music video album. The commentary lasts through all the videos in album order, which is why I wanted it that way. Thanks to you both for your help!

ITunes update 8.1 has removed all my music videos

Since upgrading to iTunes 8.1 all my (iTunes)music videos have dissappeared, the audio file remains but no video! I have just downloaded a new music video and it is also missing. The update included Front Row which I don't use could this be the problem? Any help appreciated!

Thanks for that. The answer was really quite simple! For some reason with iTunes 8.1 it is necessary to turn of Airport Express speakers in order to watch music videos on the computer: before the videos played normally (without audio through AE speakers).

Problems watching movies on iTunes -- lagging video, distorted audio

Hello. I have a black MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) and iTunes 9.0.2, and I'm having some problems. It's been going on for a few weeks now, and is worse some days than others, but the overall trend has been downward, so I wanted to try to get some help before it gets any worse.
The problem occurs when I try to watch movies on iTunes. I haven't had any problems with any other aspect of iTunes, although I don't really use any other aspects of iTunes at the moment besides the iTunes Store (I don't listen to music through iTunes or anything). Anyways, here's the problem:
Sometimes, when I'm watching a movie on iTunes, it will randomly (or seemingly randomly) glitch on me. I use the general term "glitch" here because the problem can manifest itself in one of a few different ways:
1.) The picture will freeze for a quick moment (less than a second usually) and skip forward real quick to catch up, and then sometimes, after it does this, it will go back to normal and keep playing the movie correctly. Other times after it does this, however, it will continue playing the movie, but with lagging video. When I say "lagging video", I mean that the video is slowed down, as if in slow motion. The audio remains normal. This only seems to happen in full screen mode (although I don't really watch movies any other way), so when it happens, I can generally hit escape to go back to regular viewing mode and it will fix itself, although sometimes I have to quit out of iTunes and reopen it.
2.) On rare occasions, instead of the video lagging problem, the picture will freeze all together, and if I recall correctly, the application always freezes with it.
3.) Less commonly than the video problem, the audio will become distorted. This usually occurs separately from the video issue, but can occur simultaneously as well. When this happens, the audio gets really scratchy and distorted, as if it was being filtered through a low quality children's boom box microphone. iek the video problem, this problem occurs randomly in the middle of watching the movie, but unlike the video problem, this problem persists after I quit out of iTunes. Quitting iTunes does not fix the problem in this case, unlike with the video lagging. When I quit iTunes, the distorted audio remains an issue an any application I use, and I have to wait awhile for it to go away on its own. So, unlike the video lagging, this audio issue seems to exist outside of iTunes, although it always starts with iTunes.
Can anyone help me figure out what is going on here? I've looked for patterns in other applications that are open during the times these problems occur, but haven't found any. I do have Norton AntiVirus installed on my computer, and I did notice awhile ago that any time I try to watch a movie on iTunes while I have a virus scan going on, I always get a glitch on iTunes, so I stopped running those two applications at the same time a long time ago, but I still have the problem. Should I try reinstalling iTunes? If I do this, will I lose any of the music or movies or apps that are in iTunes? I would assume not, but I just want to make sure I don't need to back anything up if I want to reinstall iTunes.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Not sure why this question is labeled as "answered" since there are no answers in the thread?
I'm having the same issue with the extremely distorted audio track on itunes video. It's worst on the speech, which is hard to hear, garbled, a lot of scratchy noise overtop of it; the music tracks are somewhat better (and much much louder). This started a bit ago and was intermittent at first, now very bad, can;t get rid of it.
I have a lot of itunes video, and since it is all protected, to my knowledge it is not playable through any other player... so this is a real problem. Reinstalling itunes (9.2.1) did not help. Sometimes VLC also distorts sound (on other video), more often that's fine but itunes is not.
I would love to have a solution to this-- my video library is not much use.

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
Restore the iPod

Can I use a DRM-Protected Music video in my IDVD project.

Can I download a DRM protected music video to a IDVD project and burn a DVD. The music video is not showing up in the media window in IDVD. Only ITunes Plus songs and videos, make it to the media window. I can't drag the video directly off ITunes. They say, I can burn a up to seven copy's of the DMR protected video/music, but how.. Thanks for any help.

Didn't work, Window came up saying "Could not be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats. I was able to burn it to a DVD, it came up as a MPEG 4 file. Then I first went to the ITunes tool bar Preference>Advanced>importing>importing using>Aiff Encoder. Then tool bar again File> import. Music video imported another copy to ITunes library. Right mouse clicked second copy> convert selection to Aiff. Then "Could not convert" window came up.

ITunes 7.6 No Audio When Playing a Music Video or Movie

I just installed iTunes 7.6.0.29 (It was released today).
There is no audio when playing a music video or a movie that I've purchased. Movie trailers and music videos in the iTunes store have no audio either. Videos from iTunes University that I've downloaded (such as an MIT lecture) play fine w/ audio.
Music audio (such as tracks I've purchased or tracks on the iTunes store) play fine.
QuickTime videos, such as a QT video on my desktop play fine. Windows Media Player works fine too.
So, why don't music videos and movies play (w/audio) on iTunes 7.6??

I'm experiencing what appears to be the exact same issue. I just installed iTunes 7.6.
Video but no audio:
Purchased iTunes TV episodes
Streamed video trailers in the iTunes Store
Works fine:
All music files, including protected files purchased through iTunes
The standalone Quicktime player performs normally with MOV files. Windows Media Player still performs normally.
I found an old support doc complaining of a similar issue with a previous iTunes release and tried the suggested fix: Uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it using the standalone installer (Quicktime 7.4). I also reinstalled iTunes. Neither solved the issue.
I'm very disappointed that I can no longer access the files I've purchased. I hope this is fixed very soon.

How to replace audio on a music video with final cut pro x

How do I replace low quality audio on a music video to a higher better quality audio with final cut pro x?
I have the new audio on cd which I can rip and replace the original audio.
Some audio and music videos are not of same length, In cases like this how do I sync video to the newly replaced audio?
Is there any tutorial, link or where to look for this in the manual?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Providing you don't need the video synced or cut to a beat, all you need to do is place your music in the primary storyline
Connect your video above.
While your video is connected, hit CMD+R on your keyboard and stretch the video to the length of the music
If you were to cut the video to a beat, simply add markers on your music track, then connect and trim clips to your markers.

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 ?

yes i have exactly same problem. Was all working fine till I upgraded to iTunes v8.1.
TV shows, everything works fine... its just music videos dont show the video, no matter which setting I choose?
Help please!!!

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

Converting a Music Video to Audio only (music)

I have a music video (mpeg4 format I believe) and I would like to convert it to audio. It is a clip (video) of a song from YouTube and I would like to just listen to it on my iPod. I was also wanting to add lyrics to it but seen that I could not add lyrics when I go to "Get Info" to a music video.

Hi njrichardson,
You can only add lyrics to songs, not music videos. I don't think iTunes can convert music videos into songs, so you'll have to use an external software or website to do that.

Want to lock video to audio, NOT audio to video--I'm making a music video

Hi
I'm making a music video--one long audio clip which I'm cutting video to.
I've got Pogue's book and it explains how to pushpin audio to video, but the reverse doesn't seem to work.
I've got one long audio clip and I want to lock video segments to it to preserve the synch between video clips and the audio track.
Help doing this would be greatly appreciated. Also, is there a good breakdown somewhere of how to make a music video in iMovie?
THANKS!

Steve told us at the keynote, iM08 was done by an engineer who's a Scuba-diver ... so, audio+iM08? forget it ... the audio skills are in vers.0.1. almost zil.
plus: in iMHD≤6, you are allowed in timeline to drag clips 'to the right' to create 'holes' in the video timeline.. (=black clips) .. iM08 doesn't support that. and: in iMHD≤6 you can 'crop' a clip from the clippane easiely BEFORE adding it to the project's timeline.. frame-precision selection is 'tricky' with iM08 .. (see my site, iM08Tricks)
.. iM08 is extremely fast to 'glue' some clips together; for serious video-editing it keeps some most interesting concepts (skimming), I would like to see in any forth-coming vers. of FCE .. but: 'videos' with iM08? .. not for me ...
