Need more than 8 Audio Streams - Possible solution

Referring to this topic (now archived so cannot reply): http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12870874
Wikipedia DVD entry "DVDs can contain more than one channel of audio to go together with the video content, supporting a maximum of 8 simultaneous audio tracks per video. This is most commonly used for different audio formats—DTS 5.1, AC-3 2.0 etc.—as well as for commentary and audio tracks in different languages."
I thought I better reply to the post above as it this work-around might not be obvious at first. In the post jasdipBoy asks is it possible to have more than 8 audio streams (i.e. languages) on DVD Studio Pro. Unfortunately you can't as the Wikipedia entry says, but as a possible work-around you could always have the same video twice - on two different tracks and split the audio/languages between the two.
The issues you should be aware of is the lack of being able to select each language while playing the video (as some of the languages will be on another track) and if you can actually fit the video twice on the DVD as this method will take twice the space.
But most DVD consumers select the language in the DVD menu anyway so as long as you build that selection into the menu, you should be covered.

Hi,
You could make a two disc set and split the language options,
They make a two disc case that would hold it and look profesional.

Need more than 8 Audio Streams

Is there anyway to get more than 8 audio streams for a track? I was thinking there might be a work around for a story to access another tracks audio, or something like this.
Any creative ideas?

Creating more than 16 Audio Tracks

I am working on a project that needs more than 16 Audio Tracks. Then I click on the track, then go to Audio Tracks, there is only 16 available, and they are all being used. I went into Preferences --> Audio --> Drivers, and boosted the Max. Number of Audio Tracks up, but there is still only 16, and my 16, I mean 16 different Channels. I know there has to be a way to do this. I have gotten more the 16 using Garage Band. Thanks in advance.

You need to learn to use the Environment.
In the Environment there is an audio objects page, and there it is where you have to manually create the new 17+ audio tracks you need.
Now, go crack open the manual, and go to the Environment chapter... it will enlighten you.

Is it Possible to Play More than 1 Audio File Parallelly ?

Friends,
Is it possible to run more than 1 audio file at a time using Player or Processor ???
For example, i have
Audio1.MP3, which play for 2 minutes (which has only music).
Audio2.MP3, which play for 1 minute ( which has only voice).
I want to start with Audio1.MP3 and when it reach 1 minute, Audio2.MP3 should parallelly run with Audio1.MP3, so that 2 audio file should finish at same time.
I want my music and voice should be mixed... (i.e) i want to mix two audio tracks..
Is it possible thru JMF ????
Regards
Senthil

I dont know if its possible with JMF, but it is with javax.sound
You write a method to play a file, and then you create two threads where each one plays a different sound file, and tell one of them to wait 60000 millis.

[Help !]Exporting more than 2 audio tracks impossible ?

Hi all,
I am trying to export a sequence with 6 audio tracks using *Menu->File->Export->Using Quicktime conversion...* and it seems to be impossible to export to more than 2 audio tracks !
If I use the option Export->Quicktime movie I can export my 6 audio tracks but I don't want to export to .mov file...
Can anyone confirm or has a solution ?
Thanks in advance.
Tom Douce

Nope, Red is correct on this Tom, unless I'm misunderstanding your question. Regardless of your audio hardware, to export more than 2 channels of audio you must define those extra channels by creating additional "audio outputs" for your sequence ... basically the number of audio channels in your export is equal to the number of audio outputs in your sequence settings; additionally you must map the audio tracks in your sequence to those audio outputs ... you do that by right clicking on or around the audio track lock icon / auto select icon for each channel and using the context menu to assign the track to a given output (you can also do this in the Audio Mixer toolbench window). This is the workflow regardless of whether you are exporting to a file or exporting to tape or otherwise.
For what its worth tho, in my own quick hardly conclusive tests earlier on, exporting a correctly configured multichannel sequence "Using Quicktime Conversion" always resulted in a stereo downmix being passed to the chosen export component, so I still think you're likely to end up needing to use the private export component API to get around this.
Hope I'm wrong tho, as it would surely make life a lot easier for you

NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

Hi,
I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
Had I been aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
I cant also user java Scrip heck as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Dharmendra

Thanks Natasha,
I got your point but as for as I know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to menu instead of getting all options on mouse right clk
I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
Once again thanks for suggestion.

Dharmendra

GB can only record 8 tracks at a time, however that is 16 channels, so with some extra effort you can get the outcome you desire, see the second tip here:

View more than one audio instrument midi window at same time Logic 7

Hello,
Is it possible to open up more than one audio inst midi window at the same time?
It would save me so much time if I could view what is going on ie on the guitar & piano tracks on 2 separate tracks at the same time.
I know it is possible to double click on the grid of an audio inst midi window to view all midi in one song at the same time but because I have a lot of audio insts in my songs it gets really confusing. It would be ideal if I could pick and choose specifically which audio inst tracks are displayed within the same window when doing the double click thing or be able to view 2 tracks at once.
Thanks in advance.

Are you refering on how to be able to view the Matrix Editor/Piano roll of 2 Audio instrument tracks in one window?

More than two audio tracks?

Is it possible on iMovie to have more than two audio tracks? Is there a way I can add more? If so, how?
Thanks so much,
-Rachel

At the recommendation of Matthew Morgan and others in this forum, I took about twenty minutes and checked out garage band.
You can click on a movie tab, in which you can import your imovie project. Garage band gives you the option of, at least, 8 simultaneous tracks. You can record from your mic, mind you that's a bit tricky, you'll have to read the garage band manual, but like I said, it only took twenty minutes to configure everything.
Once everything's recorded, you can export to imovie. I didn't try that, but I know it absolutely can be done, and it shouldn't be hard. That will give you 9 tracks at a minimum, plus your video's sound as a 10th. Pretty cool stuff.
FYI, it's not enough to have your mic selected in sound preferences. You'll want to go to Utilities and audio/midi setup and choose your mic AND choose it again in the Properties For tab. Once that's done, go to Preferences in Garage Band, click on audio/midi and choose your mic. Now, you're good to go. (I found this out under an "imic" microphone question in garage band help.) Awesome app.
Hope this helps.

PS CC Says I need more than 512 Vram ...

I was using Photoshop last night just to prep a couple of photos for class submission (3 pictures, just reducing their size for web consumption), and I got the message stating that I needed more than 512 Megs of Vram, which was odd to me, as I have 1024 Dedicated available on my video card. I don't run a dual monitor setup any longer, but I do have an ASUS PBs278 that's running at 2560 X 1440. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 6800 HD, and my windows 7 system is running on 8 gigs of ram. Up till within the last week, CC has worked just fine, but the other day on boot, it took an unusually long time to get into the software. It eventually did, and I'm wondering if that was an update or some such that's now made the software decree that if it doesn't have the 512 it thinks it should have, the 3d functions won't happen. I don't know if it's a consequence of the larger quantity of pixels being pushed, or if it's the video card getting too old to support CC at such a high resolution now, but some help would be amazing.

Windows 7, 64 bit. I haven't been able to replicate the error, but I have the new drivers as well. I hope this just ends up being a fluke.

How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.

Hi, I use licensed Adobe Connect. Earlier in the meeting could involve up to 100 people. Now only 25. How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.
Thanks for your help.

The purchasing option through adobe.com only allows up to 25 attendees. If you need more than that, you will need to purchase through a reseller. You can find one that is able to sell in your part of the world, here: Adobe Connect Partners. Just reach out to one of the Global Partners.

I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this?

I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this? Once I reach 30 profiles and I try to add one - it just deletes one automatically thus only allowing a maximum of 30. Please help.

You are talking about 30 Firefox Profiles on the same Windows Logon User Account?
I never saw that as a limit myself. I had 53 Profiles at one time, although I haven't done that since Firefox 3.0. It was causing an extended launch time and I started using "remote" Profiles that weren't controlled by the Profile Manager and weren't in the '''profiles.ini''' file; launched by command line. Like this in the Target line for the desktop shortcut: <br />
''' "C:\Program Files\Firefox_4.0_zip\firefox.exe" -Profile D:\Mozilla\Active-Profiles\4.0_10-15-10-N '''

Need more than 90 minutes of continual video

,Need more than 90 minutes of continual video? Hi all,
I'm using the Vado HD [first gen] as a "hidden cam" type of thing for a play that I am filming. I have 2 normal cameras set out in the audience, but I want to mount the Vado HD above the stage for a bird's eye view of a sword fight scene that I can cut to when editing footage. The problem is that the fight scene happens near the end of the play and there are no intermissions.
Since the filesystem used on the Vado HD is FAT and not NTFS or HFS+, I run into the 4GB limit and the camera simply puts itself to sleep about 45 minutes into recording even though there is more space on the dri've and the battery is fine.
Can I reformat the Vado HD with HFS+ or NTFS? [i use a Mac but can run windows via VMware Fusion if need be]. Is there any way to squeeze 90 minutes of video in one file on this camera? If I reformat the camera, will it mess it up? [i don't use any of the apps that were installed on the camera - i moved them from the vid camera to my laptop actually, so i don't care about losing anything valuable on the vid camera].
Thanks for any tips you might have!

Could the reason be that you are capturing to an FAT32 format hard drive and it is only allowing you a limited maximum file size? Not sure but I think it is 4GB which would equate to 1/3 of a DV 13GB hour ...or about 20 minutes.
If that is correct, and you should be able to tell because the capture window will display the file size limit as space available during capture, you could do one of two things:
* reformat the drive as NTFS which removes the file size limitation (I have just done this on an external drive for exactly the same reason), but do look up online instructions for this and do it carefully.
* if the material is not long continuous shots of over 20 minutes, switch on Scene Detect during capture; it's wise to cut material up into smaller chunks in any case as huge files become very unwieldy and handling them could slow your machine right down.

Am I able to use more than 1 audio file in IDVD?

Am I able to use more than 1 audio file in my IDVD project? I want to have different songs in my subtitles.

Yes. Each menu had an info/settings page that you can add a different audio track to:
When you add a track to a menu the the playing time should be set to 30 seconds or 1 minute. If you leave it at the full lenght that full length will apply towards the 15 minutes total allowed for all menus.
