No Audio on finished DVD

I created a movie with iMovie. After creating a DVD menu using iDVD, there is no audio when playing the DVD. I've tried everything the doc below mentions.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303550
I already have iDVD 6.0.2. The article says to upgrade to 6.0.1. Did 6.0.2 introduced another bug?
I've tried to burn to a disk image.
I've tried to delete the encoded assets.
I don't have any weird items in the QuickTime library.
I have created a new project.
When iDVD "Processes" the project, it hangs a long time on "Encoding Audio". I'm trying to remember if previously the screen actually showed all the songs it would go through as it was rendering. It doesn't do that now. If I go to "Force Quit Applications" the iDVD application is "not responding".
The only thing I've done differently this time (this is my fourth movie) is that this movie is the longest (one hour and one minute long).
I tried both 6.0 and 5.0 Themes.
I've read some older posts about using certain audio formats from certain video cameras. The music in my video is from iTunes (most of purchased through iTunes).
I'm a fairly new Mac user (one year). This is amazingly frustrating. I have a movie I can't share with anyone (unless you're hearing impaired...sorry, no subtitles).
I'll try converting the movie into QuickTime format to see what happens... Maybe I'll try converting it to iPod format, too. Not sure what insight that will provide but it's worth a try (if nothing else, I can share it in that format).
Help please!

The drive is pretty large, 140GB. I'm just running out of space. Do you recommend a particular internal drive for a second storage unit?
My 250GB main drive has 98GB free, so I'd be running out of space too.
All of my internals are Seagate. I just put a Seagate in an old G4 that's going to be donated to a school. Guess I like Seagate. My LaCie 250GB external has a Seagate inside.
BTW, do you recommend a certain DVD type to use on the Mac?
Stay away from Memorex and TDK based on what I've seen around here over the last couple of years.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
My reliable DVD-Rs have been: Apple 4X (Maxell ID), RiTek 4X; Verbatim 1-8X, RiData 8X, and PioData 8X, all white inkjet printable. The RiData and PioData checked out to be RiTek-made.
Verbatim is reliable and can be found in many stores in the USA. They even make a special grade for medical records.
You can buy the RiTek, RiData, and PioData at:

Verbatim may be available in your neighborhood Office Depot store, or:
http://www.taperesources.com/
http://www.newegg.com/
Apple brand can be purchased from the Apple online store.
You can check the manufacturer's ID by using DVD Media Inspector: http://homepage.mac.com/raktajino/dvdmediainspector/dvdmediainspector.html
b Here's some discussion about formats: http://www.macintouch.com/dvdproblems5.html#oct03 Be sure to read Joel Lingenfelter's experience
Here's a great site: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
You could wade through this: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia
From that database: Five brands and who actually manufactures the DVDs:
TDK = TDK, RITEKG04, RICOHJPN, MXL, CMC, MCC
Memorex = CMC, RICOHJPN, PRODISC, INFODISC
Imation = CMC, MCC, Ritek, Prodisc
Sony = MCC 01RG20, Sony04D1, TYG01
Fuji = FUJIFILM02..4X, FUJIFILM03..8X, ProdiscF01..8x, ProdiscS03..4x, PVC001001..2x, RITEKG03..1x, TAIYOYUDEN..2x, TYG01..4x, TYG02..8x
This can result in "mixed" experiences...
My friend used TDK on his Mac and it wouldn't play in his 5 year old Sony DVD player. All of mine play OK in his "antique" Sony. Update: He finally gave up on that antique and bought a Sony DVPNS775V which also plays double-layer DVD+R.

No audio on finished DVD or disk image after upgrade to QuickTime 7.1.3

I have iDVD 6.0.2. I routinely burn iMovie output to a DVD a couple of times a week. Yesterday I was getting ready to burn a DVD and got a software update alert for QuickTime. I installed 7.1.3. The DVD I burned after that update doesn't have audio. I deleted the encoding and made a disk image. No audio on that either. Until the QT update I had never had any problem burning DVDs. The iMovie output plays fine in iMovie and iDVD. The only plugin in my libraries is AppleIntermediateCodec.Component (v1.1).
Thanks for any help!
MacMini G4 1.42 ghz 512mb Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I also had an audio problem with a iDVD6 for project I was working on last week (I have latest QT update). I added 2 different iMovie projects into iDVD6 Dual Layer project using submenu pages. Total size from Project Info was close to 7.7 GB limit using 'Best Performance' option. I selected 'Best Quality' option and it showed over 4 GB. I used this option and saved a disc image of this project. After done, I relooked at DVD size from Project Info and it now showed close to 7.7 GB. When I opened image file with DVD player, first movie played fine with audio. The second movie had video, but no audio.
After skimming some of the posts in this discussion group, I found one suggesting that if audio problem occurs, export your iMovie project with transitions, etc, as full quality DV, then bring back in as new iMovie project and re-establish chapter markers. I did this for the second movie only, and readded to original iDVD6 project. After recreating a disk image, I opened in DVD player and the video and audio was fine for both movies. Burned disk worked fine too.
Sooo ... if you have no audio problem with your iDVD6 project, if you recreate your iMovie project using procedure above and bring it back into iDVD6 project, maybe ... the audio might be there. At least it worked once for me.
If this trick works for anyone else, please post here for all to read.

My finished DVD has wrong audio

On IDVD3, I'm only burning one quicktime file which has it's own sound, somehow the finished DVD has sound from a different source. Can't find anywhere on the setting where this audio is coming from.

Hi Martin
How did You go to iDVD ?
- from within iMovie and Share/Export to iDVD function
- working with FCE/P and had QT.mov files that was dropped into iDVD a theme.
If from iMovie do like this instead.
a) Close iMovie
b) find the project icon/folder
c) Ctrl-click on it and Show package.
d) in this there are a folder -> Shared Movies -> iDVD
e) in this there is a QT movie nnnnnnn.mov
- You can test this with QT-player so that this is OK -
f) drop this into an open theme in iDVD and save it as a desktop image
(if iDVD prior HD/5 You have to add a hack to make this possibly
named HPfurz and install it)
Test this with Apple DVD-player - OK then burn it with iDVD
or Toast if You have and dont want to re-code the movie.
Yours Bengt W

Turning Off An Audio Track From Finished DVD Menu

Hi, Folks. I asked this question a couple of years ago, perhaps it has been included in recent upgrades.
I use Premiere Elements 11, happily, to make family activity videos. I would like to have a menu option on the finished DVD to turn on or off the narration track. I see other uses, for example, the music or background noise could be optioned for viewer preference. If PE will not do this, is there a comparably priced alternative? Or, could I make the video in PE and author in another program? I imagine a high end program would include this feature, but there is no income in this for me, so I'd rather spend money doing things that provide footage to make movies of instead of software purchase.
Thanks in advance.
Duke

Duke
Nothing has change with regard to Premiere Elements (any version) and obtaining from it a DVD-VIDEO on DVD that gives the viewer the option to listen to it with or without narration that was included in the project. You would do best to do a 2 disc production for this - one with and one without narration.
The idea to have both versions on one Timeline is possible (and we can give you detail how to on that for an appropriate Adobe menu design), but it is space consuming especially if you are dealing with a large project. Are you prepared to go from DVD disc spec'd at 4.7 GB/120 minutes (in reality 4.3 GB) to DVD disc spec'd at 8.5 GB/120 minutes (in reality 7.95 GB) to accommodate this approach?
As for alternative video editors and their disc menu options, I am not aware of one that could do what you seek.
Please let us know if we can be of assistance with a step by step on setting up Adobe disc menus (as is) or customized to deal with the two versions on one Timeline idea.
Thank you.

What's the simplest way to edit the audio on a DVD using a Mac?

I appreciate you taking the time to read/respond to this post.
Here's the deal:
My church records its service on DVDs to pass out to members. This past weekend an annoying, high-pitch hum found it's way on to our DVD. We also record audio versions of our service to pass out on CDs, and (scratching my head) this week's CD turned out just fine, no hum.
Is there an easy way to detach the "bad" audio from the DVD and replace it with the good "audio" from the CD? I know I could do what I want using iMovie, but every time I do something like this using that program, the picture quality on my new DVD looks worst than the original, plus it takes a ton of time converting and reauthoring.
Your help and suggestions are most appreciated.

I've never really used IMovie cause I have Final Cut, but I'm surprised its degrading your video , This makes me wonder what format your movies are in , are they .dv ( digital video ) ?
You may even take a look at your burn settings in IDVD , I cant think of anything else outside of video editing software that will do what you are trying to do, in short its your only real option..

Recording audio from a DVD

How do I include the photos in a imovie project to the finished dvd so the users can have access to them?

I've included alot of old photos in an iMovie project and would like to include them on the finished DVD I create with iDVD. I woud like the users to be able to have access to them so they can print them, store them on their own computer or whatever they would like to do. How would I do this?

You do this by creating a DVD-ROM section on your DVD. See this explanation from iDVD Help.
Adding files to the DVD-ROM portion of a disc
You can let viewers copy files directly from your DVD by adding the files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc. These files are burned onto the DVD and are accessible when the disc is viewed on either a Windows PC or a Macintosh computer, but not a DVD player.
You can add any kind of file to the disc. For example, if your disc contains a slideshow, you can add the image files to the DVD-ROM portion of the disc so viewers can download them to their own computers and print them. You can also add a file containing your movie production notes and other “extras.”
To manually add files to the DVD-ROM part of your disc:
Choose Advanced > Edit DVD-ROM Contents.
The DVD-ROM Contents window opens.
Click Add Files, or click New Folder first if you want to create a folder to put the files in.
Browse to select your files or folders, then click Open to add them to the disc.
You can also drag files directly to the DVD-ROM Contents window. When you are done, just close the window.
When you add a file to the DVD-ROM portion of your disc, before you burn the disc the project contains just a reference to the location of the file on your hard disk, not the actual file. So if you delete a file from your computer or move it from its location after adding it to the DVD-ROM contents, you get a “File not found” message when you try to burn your disc. You can either remove these missing files from the DVD-ROM contents or find them on your computer and put them back in the original location so iDVD can access them.
As you add files to the DVD-ROM contents, be sure to check the DVD Capacity meter in the Project Info window to find out how many gigabytes of disc space are being used. The Capacity meter shows the disc space taken up by the video portion of the disc as well as the DVD-ROM portion.

Missing media in finished DVD but not missing in Timeline

Dear Gurus and others-who-know-far-more-than-I-do
In my latest video, exported from PPro (CC 2014) via Media Encoder and Published with Encore CS6...my finished DVD has a number of red "Missing Media" spots, but going through the PPro timeline there does not appear to be ANY "Missing Media". I've never had this problem before. Any ideas, anyone?

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Extract audio from a DVD how to

Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
Thank you

Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.

Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

Importing Audio from a DVD Concert

I want to import the audio from a DVD concet into iTunes.
I've tried MactheRipper and MAC3dec to do the conversion but the main concert file was 1 hour and 15 minutes long and it only imported the intro which lasted about 45 seconds.
What I'd really like to do is import the entire concert then cut it up into songs to import into iTunes.
So my questions are:
1. How do start with a 1.3 hour audio file on DVD and end up with 16 song files in my iTunes library?
2. Is it possible to do this with AudioHijack or a similar program?

The software is capable of extracting audio only at the chapter level. Using a DVD I mastered myself, I can use the Mode button, then select Title - Chapter Extraction, click the D button, and then the Streams button becomes active. Clicking that opens a drawer where all the various audio tracks are available, and they can be extracted one at a time using the SChpt and EChpt drop-down lists.
Again, please be sure that whatever you're doing with a DVD is legal in your own case. I am not suggesting that you use any particular software for any particular purpose, but just explaining how to navigate through a confusing interface in a program you already seem to have.
EDIT: I've read through your posts again, and you mentioned that you bought the DVD. Of course I can't be sure about this, but if it's a commercial DVD, it is most likely encrypted. In that case, you really must be sure that you have the right to extract audio tracks from the disc (or even to use the software in question)--even though you're not "copying" the disc by working only with the audio portion, it may be the case that even the audio on the disc is protected in some way by copyright. So, I can't emphasize enough that I in no way am encouraging you to do anything outside the scope of fair and legitimate use of your DVD product.

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter

or some such terms.
Good Luck!

How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

Hi guys,
I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
George

I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.
