No audio on dvd after burning

iMac 10.6.1./iDvd 7.1.2. I can see that there are 2 files in my movies folder, 1 for audio and the other for video. The video is there in its folder but there is no audio in the folder, it's empyt. 1 1/2 hours of writing from iMovie to iDvd then another 3 hours writing to a dvd disc to have no audio with the video *****, hellllppp please

Once you have the project as you want it in iDVD save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • No audio in dvd after burning.

    So I've burned hundreds of projects before and have never had this happen. After encoding the video the project goes straight to writing to disc. Skips audio encoding altogether and therefore I have no audio on the disc whatsoever. It's not a menu audio problem or anything, just the actual audio that matches the video.
    If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I have tried twice for this project same thing happens.

    Hi t
    a. most common origin is - music/audio from iTunes.
    Way around - copy out audio as .aiff to eg. an audio CD. Use this in Your project.
    b. Try to do a DiskImage. Play it with Apple-DVD player. OK ?
    If OK then burn with Apple Disk Util tool or if You got Toast™.

  • How do I verify a DVD after burn?

    How do I verify a DVD after burn? I know it can be done right after the burn, but this has been burned long ago. How is it done? I need to know it will play in a DVD player all the way through. I have several DVds and dont want to watch them all...
    Thanks

    Just FYI, when I first started burning DVD disks, I always did the burn verification process after the burn. It took a long time, and I wasn't sure what it was really doing. I posted a question to one of the early iDVD users here, like Leonart , Len Goff, who said he never verified and all his DVDs burned fine. So, I stopped doing it and have not had any burn failures.
    For your old DVDs, follow Leonart's excellent recommendation.

  • Audio drop out after burning to iDVD

    I am running FCE 2 and checked all of my audio (mixed it down and everything). Plays well when I run FCE. When I burn the clips to iDVD, I notice that the audio drops out in certain scenes, and it's the same scenes. Ruined 5 dvds so far after trying to a few things.
    I am using all internal HDs (Extended Journaled). Any suggested would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi
    a. Audio from iTunes - has to be used by a work around
    I do - create a Playlist in iTunes with needed audio
    Burn out as an Audio-CD (.aiff) Not .mp3
    Use this audio in Your FinalCut project
    b. I do from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME Conversion (Important)
    c. To get iDVD to run OK
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk ! (others of no importance)
    • I use Verbatim DVDs
    • DVD-R
    • Burn speed set down to x4 or x1 (only relevant to newer iDVD)
    (Instead download the Hack (Hurz and Pfurz) that makes it possibly to do a DiskImage with iDVD4
    if earlier iDVD versions - forget this
    then save as a DiskImage - test it with DVD-player tool and see that it runns OK
    THEN do the actual DVD burn by using Disk Util tool from this DVD image You just did.
    AND Here You can set down burn speed to x4 or x1.
    • iDVD 4 disc image burning can be enabled through the patch Hurz and Pfurz - search the net.
    Good luck Yours Bengt W

  • DVD simulates fine, no audio on menu after burn

    This is a problem that has been driving me crazy, I've spent weeks authoring a DVD package consisting of three films, bonus features, and the soundtrack.
    I wasn't sure how to approach the soundtrack, I ended up making it up as a set of menus, so that you can easily navigate next track, prev track, back to menu whist listening to the songs. I've set these up exactly as I have every other menu, and everything works perfectly when I simulate it within Encore CS5. Alas when I burn the DVD the music will play for the first track, but not for any others.
    I've tried this with .aiff .wav .ac3 same result each time. The part that really has me stumped is that the first track will play, and every menu is set up in the exact same way.. therefore I can't see what i'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    And use normal black text on a white background.  I can't even read the problem.

  • Audio Sync issue after burning DVD

    This is a strange one. I have a DVD made up of several videos of various length. One 15 minutes, One 7 minutes, and the rest under 5 minutes & 17 seconds. The problem is that the two longer ones are out of sync on the burned DVD (and even the build playing in VLC) even though they are fine throughout the rest of the process (FCP, DVDSP timeline, & DVDSP simulation). The rest of the videos are also just fine. I have no idea what to do about it.

    They were all encoded in compressor and all are about 7.6 Mb/s. The thing is, only 2 of 14 have the issue. Granted, they are the 2 longest, but not by that much. And it is out of sync for the entire program, it doesn't gradually get out of sync. Also, opening the Video_TS folder (on the computer, not the disk) in VLC shows the same problem, so its not the player, the disk media, or even the burning process. It's somewhere in the "build" process. I will try a lower data rate for those two, but it should be fine for less than an hour of material.

  • No Sound on parts of DVD after Burn

    I have created a movie in iMovie, brought into iDVD and when I play the DVD IN iDVD, it works great. But after I burn it to the DVD the menus have sound, but the Movie does not. I'm stumped, any ideas?

    f you recorded your video in 16-bit and not 12-bit and you're sure that's not the problem here, then check that this is set correctly:
    In utilities
    Audio MIDI Setup.app
    then set
    Audio input/Format to 44100.0 Hz
    Some programs reset the Audio, & it must be 44100 for iDVD
    Or you could try to File Save As Disk Image. Then use Toast to burn.

  • Project is dropping audio and connections after burning

    A project was created on an Intel machine running Tiger, then modified with all new assets on a PowerPC G5 with Tiger (10.4.11). When burned to disc, some menu audio is missing, and some connections (button links, menu timeouts) are non-functional. This has happened before and the solution has been:
    1) Delete all the PAR files on the PowerPC
    2) Copy the project file to the Intel machine (now running Leopard)
    3) Build and burn the project.
    This is not working, nor is deleting and re-creating the offending menus. Short of rebuiliding this numbingly complex project, does anyone have a clue as to how to solve this or why this would be happening?
    Disc functions perfectly in Simulator and Mac's software DVD Player; only the burned disc drops features. Both machines are running the newest version of DVDSP 4 (newer than the DVDSP 4 version that created the project file).

    I started getting this exact problem when playing The Crew with my ZXR card. Audio channels start going to the wrong outputs within 5 minutes of playing the game every time. I ran the channel test after playing and stopping the game and they were still screwed up. After rebooting the PC, the problem is fixed again.
    This is the first game I have noticed this problem with. This is the first game that has been this demanding on my PC and graphics cards (SLI, both running at 100% to a 4K monitor). I am wondering if the PCI bus is getting hammered too hard.
    I have ordered a Sound Blaster X7 to see if the problem goes away. If not, I will be sending that back and going back to onboard audio.

  • Audio levels of added audio go wonky after burn

    My final stage of imovie production is adding the soundtrack. I have done this with great success using idvd 4 and 5 in the past. However, I recently upgraded to 06 and problems emerged.
    When I preview my imovie, everything is perfect, audio sounds great with nice audio fades and mixes. BUT, after I send it to idvd and then burn it, those fades and mixes are no longer smooth. In transition between clip, the audio level of the added material jumps way up then abrubltly goes away. As well, as an added song fades away to zero level, at the end it momentarily jumps back up to full volume and I cant even see why this is happening when I go back to imovie and look at the levels.
    I have tried not fading songs through clip transitions, but I still get such problems, as I just described. This is very puzzling as I have faded audio through video transition in the past with ease. As well, I have a small side buisness where I sell my finished product and I haven't made a movie yet, since I 'upgraded' several months ago without experiencing these extrememly frustrating audio problems.
    I hope there is some advice out there that will help me solve this.
    Steve

    Hello, steviesteve,
    John is right....in the iMovie discussions there are lots of messages regarding sound problems in burned DVDs. Sound is fine in iMovie....no fixes, some work-arounds you might try. Sorry I don't have the exact links, but you can do a search in iMovie 6.

  • Losing audio from dv after burn

    created project in imovie 4.0.1 and shared to idvd 4.0.1. Previewed in idvd and audio is fine, burned a dvd and the audio from the dv camcorder is lost. Not all of the dv camcorder audio is lost but probably 75% of it. Any ideas on how to solve this problem. All voiceovers and music that was added came through fine.

    I would like to piggy-back off of kwinst's problem and request additional info from Shippey:
    I, too, just created an iMovie (probably my 20th) in 4.0.2. It consists of 5 minutes of video taped footage, a few titles, and two songs from iTunes. It plays beautifully in iMovie. Everything's intact. Furthermore, when I slip the burned dvds of it into other Mac drives, the movie plays in the viewer just fine...
    The problem is that the burned dvds (burned using iDVD) lose the audio that is part of the video footage when played on an actual DVD player. The iTunes songs play fine. It's just the audio embedded withing the video that is nonexistent on the DVD when it's played on a DVD player (such as one that is hooked up to a t.v.).
    Aside from needing to know why this is happening, I'm wondering if THIS has anything to do with the problem: the original video footage came from a Sony camera that I do not believe is digital. It was on a larger cassette, possibly a super 8? I hooked that camera up to my Sony digital camera (which I have used numerous times for iMovies), and copied the footage onto the digital camera. That little tape played back fine, plus all audio was intact in the iMovie, so I'm guessing the dubbed footage imported into iMovie is just fine, too.
    So why is it that when I burn a dvd of the iMovie, the songs play well but the audio embedded within the video is nonexistent/just BARELY audible when the t.v?
    is turned up to the hightest setting. When I dubbed the super 8 footage into my digital camera was I supposed to select a 16 or 32-bit option? Where do I find such a setting on a camera?
    Please help me. I am at the end of my rope!

  • Bad DVD after burning

    I have created a photo presentation (for watching at TV) based on iDVD and burned with internal iMac tool. But the result is a DVD with very bad photo quality. I tried it with diffrent types of DVDs (DVD-R, DVD-RW). What was wrong?

    I have the same problem exactly: iMovie project looks great on my iMac, but after Media Browser (HD 1080p) is done and I burn it on iDVD the result is of very poor quality. Can someone at Apple give us some answers??? Thanks.

  • Audio drops out after burning to a disk.

    I just finished my Final Cut Express project and used iDVD to burn it to a disk. Half way through the slide show, the audio drops out.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Last week, this song played fine on the burned copy.
    Is this problem now showing up in the iDVD preview mode? Or is it with subsequent burned DVD's?
    Go back to your project in iDVD. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. The disk image will show you how your project will appear when played on a standard DVD player. See if this problem is repeated. If everything is fine, go ahead and burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
    I hope this helps.

  • Slight pixellation on faces at end of DVD after burning in DVD Studio Pro. Can you help?

    I am appealing to those much more expert than myself. I have burned a DVD of my short film in DVD Studio Pro.
    Original file: Apple Pro Res 422 HQ (PAL 25fps)
    I put this into Compressor: Best quality DVD 90 mins.
    Then I imported this in DVD Studio Pro and burned a DVD
    The DVD looks great until the end where the faces start to go pixellated in an outdoor scene every second or so for a second.
    The thing is that this only suddenly started to happen. I had originally done the compression and burned dvds and it all looked fine, but then suddenly when I burned some extra DVDs I noticed this had happened. I recompressed the files, and it had the same problem in exactly the same place. (The original file doesn't have this problem.)
    The thing is that in between I had made a new separate DVD Studio Pro project in NTSC and imported my compressed 29.97fps Apple pro res file of the film. I'm not sure how this would have affected the original PAL project or if this has anything to do with it!
    When I originally burned the PAL DVDs I also did a second version where I exported from FCP a PAL QT of the film 720x576 and then imported this into DVD Studio Pro and let DVD Studio Pro do the rest of the compression. I am trying this again to see if this makes any difference.
    Any advice?

    Hi Christina, thanks for this. I am a bit confused exactly how many and where to put.
    You see the shot in question is a static two shot. It is used several times in the scene, but the only place I have a problem is the final time we see the shot. It is at the end of the shot and over the final 13 seconds, the faces pixellate slightly every now and then for like a frame. How many compression markers should I put in do you think?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Cannot burn NTSC DVD after burning PAL DVD

    Using Adobe Premiere Elements vers.10, I created a video which I need to burn onto DVDs, in PAL format for European users and NTSC for North American recipients.  I successfully burned (to folder) in NTSC, and then in PAL.  Produced two sample DVDs from those two folders and reviewed them.  This highlighted the need for a few corrections to the project.  I carried these out, burned the revised film to folder in PAL format, and then wanted to do the same in NTSC format.  The computer appears to work on the task, but produces no folder and no files.  I am no longer able to procude a DVD in NTSC format, either by burning to a folder or burning directly on a DVD.  What is the cause of this problem ?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide with this issue.
    Paul

    Paul,
    I do not recall any issues, where the program gets hung up, though as a precaution, maybe clear the Media Cache in the Scratch Disks. I know that Encore (sort of the authoring "big-brother" to the authoring function in PrE) can get confused, when it has some older Media Cache files. It assumes that things have already been done, when it needs to "start over."
    Also, I would create a new, empty folder, with a unique name, and direct the Burn to Disc to THAT folder. Since all that one gets is the VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS (empty), and then another folder, whose name I cannot recall (Encore does not write anything but the VIDEO_TS folder and IFO, BUP and VOB files), it's easy to confuse the output. Just thinking here.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How do I finalize a DVD after burning photos from Aperture??

    I have made a slideshow on Aperture and exported it to my desktop. I have burned a DVD-R but there is one problem...I need to finalize it. How do I do this to be able to play on my DVD player?

    jd261808 wrote:
    Well the .mov file was on the desktop, and I went to finder/new finder window/ and made a new folder. Put the DVD-R in the recorder and clicked "burn". The .mov file burned successfully to the disc but cannot be played back on an external device.
    What is the external device you are trying to play the DVD in? Just burning a .mov file to a DVD doesn't create DVD that is playable in most DVD players.
    If you are trying to create a DVD that can play in a DVD player take a look at iDVD.
