No Audio on iPod Video playback

hello, I've tried to resolve the problem myself by reading the boards and various "how-to's" but never really got a straight answer.
My concern was (like many others) a problem with video on my iPod. I had no problems tossing a video into my library and converting it to work with the iPod...it also gets thrown on the device with no problems what so ever. But, when i play the video back in my iPod...I dont hear the audio. Its just the video (it looks great so i have no problem with the quality) but...its just...silent lol. Thanks in advance for those who help out.

How to Set Left/right audio channel while Video playback

how can I controlling the left / right audio channel while video playback, I can't find any method or class for this in JMF, anyone that can direct me how to do it?

The way I found to control two stereo channel is to implement a plug-in Effect that will control two volumes (left/right) indipandently.
You can start from the example GainEffect from sun, and implement your control.
For eample, if you want to mute the left channel, simply set to 0 all the odd samples (or even...I don't remember exactly, try it).
You have then to add you plug in to the processor chain... again see the examples.
More complex effects (panning etc) can be done in the same way, but it seems to me that it's quite CPU intensive.

Problem with iPod video playback

I have a problem with some of my movies' playbacks on my Nano 5g. Though working perfectly fine on both my computer, and my iPod video, on my Nano some videos are slightly cut off on the right of the screen, I'm missing about 10% of the video due to the cut off. Though technically I should still be able to watch the movies fine, it niggles me and inhibits my full enjoyment of the videos. Is there any way I can crop or rescale the movie so it will fit properly on my screen? Thanks
(I have already tried both wide screen and scale to screen size on the iPod)

Go to the video settings (iPod nano) and turn off fit to screen.

Best settings for ipod video playback on TV

I would like to know which video format is the best for a very good video playback on TV using ipod video ? And which settings choose for the video to have the best possible quality on TV, while still being able to store a lot of videos on the ipod.
I use a 1.67ghz powerbook, and the convertion process is so long, is it normal for it to be that long. I thought that powerbook were suppose to be really fast. Would buying more ram help ?
thank you

If you're using QuickTime Pro's "Movie to iPod", then you're getting very good video quality. The reason why this takes so long is that instead of just compressing the video, it first examines the entire video looking for places that may be a little more difficult to encode (cross fades, cuts, high motion) then spending more time on them in the second pass. So, yeah, it's normal to take that long, but, in this case, that's how you get the best output.
Depending on your source (if it's from a VHS tape or something like that) you might want to download MPEG Streamclip and try H.263 or H.264 with only one pass. It's a bit faster and the results still look pretty good so that may suit you as well.

Audio issue on video playback

Hi there
Since upgrading to Lion I have noticed that when I playback a video, using whatever application, itunes or quicktime there is a noticeable tapping or rsping noise in the background of the audio. I've tried many different videos and still the same. It has only recently happened. Any ideas?
Thanks

So....
Finally flashed the 3.2 Firmware for my CPU and
the problem still exists.
Now i|m really desperate...
So you originally had 3.2 and flashed to ? 3.3. It looks like 3.3 updates the VIA 8237 contoller firmware version.
"Support ATI9800SE AGP card" No mention of fixing the SATA problem. Seems strange because the 8237 is the south bridge and I would think has nothing to do with video.
Or did you flash to the latest 9.4 series bios?
I see no mention of SATA fixes on any bios updates. MSI has a warning about the 9.1 version "This BIOS Supports dual core and E6 version CPUs. We propose to use BIOS v3.xx for system stable if you didn't install these two CPU models." Unsure about the Bios version jump. Seems kind of fishy.
Could you list complete system specs?

IPod Video Playback

I just got my IPod 60G for Christmas and I love it. I can load and play music no problem, and photos are a breeze. Unfortunately however, I cannot watch videos! I have used different converters on different file types (actual DVD's, AVI's etc...) and I always get the same problem: The video saves to iTunes, loads to the IPod and plays perfectly for about 2-5 minutes, freezes for 1 second, starts playing again seamlessly for the remainder of the video BUT without audio!
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem. Thanks

I used ImTOO IPod Movie Suite for the DVD and AVI as well as Videora for the same AVI.

Loosing audio chunks & no video playback

I have a fairly new cpu (3 months) that I spec'd out from newegg. I am editing in HDV. When I started editing it was working very well. No problems at all. Well as closer as I get to finishing this short film, I am having major issues. I am loosing whole chunks of audio in certain scenes. Video is not playing back. Video is always there, just only playing the first second then freezes (just the video freezes and I can herar the audio) and the timeline bar is moving. I have not changed any file locations or names. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

no known fix of which I'm aware
Actually, there might be. Per Harm's suggestion, details on:
1.) System
2.) Assets
3.) Project
4.) Operations being performed
might help someone spot a common aspect and a solution will likely be forthcoming. If not a solution, someone will definitely have a workaround, until Adobe can address the issue with an update.
In the meantime, you might want to file a Bug Report, but do be ready to furnish all of the details, so that Adobe can replicate the problem.
Good luck,

DVD Player freezes video playback, but audio continues

Whenever I insert a DVD into my Macbook Pro, DVD Player starts playing the DVD's audio, but the video playback will only run if I have my mouse positioned at the bottom of the screen. If the mouse is moved anywhere toward the middle of the video, it freezes on the image while audio playback continues. This has happened with multiple DVDs and all run fine on any other player (VLC, etc).

I have the same issue fairly regularly with DVDs when played back using the Apple DVD Player app. The same DVDs work fine with VLC.
While rebooting helps, it doesn't actually fix anything. The same goes for resetting PRAM and other stuff. The problem persists, albeit intermittently. I've rebooted and have had a DVD exhibit the same exact problems right away. And then I try VLC and it runs fine.
There are three variables that I can point to...
Apple DVD Player application... as noted above, the issue does not occur at all with VLC
Memory... it's possible that the Apple DVD Player app hits on a bad stretch of memory, it causes this kind of problem. Still this points to the application as the issue does not occur in other playback apps.
Video Card... on my macbook pro it's the NVIDIA 320M. Again, the playback is fine in other playback apps, so this still points back to the Apple DVD Player app, but it's possible that it has issues with the video card
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I hope Apple will fix the problem, and I'm OK with using VLC until it gets fixed, but there is at least one feature of Apple's DVD Player app that I love... it remembers exactly where I was at even if I take the DVD out to play something else. VLC Player does not appear to have that functionality (at least not that I've found thus far).

Audio waveform causing choppy playback

Having issues with nearly all Premiere cc 2014 (8.1) timelines where playback with audio track expanded to show waveform causes bad, choppy playback. As soon as i collapse the audio track playback is perfect. Not very useful when cutting interviews and needing to see waveforms.
Running a late 2013 mac pro 3.5ghz 6 core intel xeon e5 32gb ram all footage stored on a lacie 6tb thunderbolt.
Any fixes or help appreciated
Thanks

Everything's on the internal drive - a 320 gig 7200 rpm WD. Still has ~120 gigs free. The thing that's really getting me is that when I unplug the USB audio adapter, the video playback is fine.
There is an external drive for TM backups, but I just unplugged that to see if it was part of the issue and it doesn't seem to change anything.

Does update 1.2 update ipod video decoders?

Hi guys, tried searching for this but gae up after 4 pages of results.
Basically i would like to know whether update version 1.2 for the 5th gen video 'pod updates the video decoders so that we can now watch H264 or MPEG4 movies encoded at 640 x 480 rather that 320 x 240.
OR.. do i have to buy the new 30 or 80 Gig video ipod (which would b seriously cruel/mean thing for pple to do).
Thanks in anticipation.

It updates the iPod so that "low-complexity" H.264 encoded using the increased data rates can be sync'd to the ipod. (I.e., files encoded by current third-party converters using the improved H.264 specification will not sync.) Playback on the iPod is, of course, scaled to 320 x 240 for display on the iPod screen. They can even be chaptered, but while chapters work in iTunes I have not been able to get them to work for iPod video playback.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Video Playback Problems (iPod Classic 120GB)

Hi! I recently purchased my new iPod Classic 120GB but I'm encountering problems regarding video playback.
I downloaded a *music video* from the internet, and the file format is *mpeg video*. I then purchased an iPod Video Converter and thus changed the file to the appropriate one in order to play it in my iPod.
I played the music video first in my iTunes to check whether the video has any problems, but there was none, and it wasn't corrupted. As for my other videos, I have used the same iPod video converter and they were all fine. I then transferred the music video in my iPod.
Problem is, the quality was good and everything, but there are some *slight glitches in the music video*. There wasn't anything wrong with the audio, but with *some of the scenes* in the video itself. I then replayed it, then the *glitch transferred to another scene in the video*.
I then removed the said music video from my iPod, re-converted it, replayed it in my iTunes, then transferred it to my iPod, but the same video still has the same glitch.
So far, I have transferred 10+ music videos in my iPod and they all worked just fine, but I have 6 other music videos that are encountering the same problem with playback.
Does the problem lie with my iPod converter, or in my iTunes, or in my iPod itself? I would like to know.
I would really appreciate some help with this! Thanks!
For additional information:
iTunes - latest version 8.1
iPod - recently bought, Classic 120 GB
video converter - Allok Video to iPod converter
video itself - mpeg format, 204 MB

unfortunately its hard to tell where the problem lies... it depeneds on what type of glitch you are talking about. i really hope you didnt actually pay for a video converter... try "ipod video 9" which is absolutely free... top quality and VERY VERY easy to use!!! this program has never caused issues for me. if the issue is with your ipod it may be a delay in information transfer from your ipods hardrive. try defragmenting your ipod like you would your computer in the "my computer" window on windows, this does actually help your ipod read the information on its hardrive faster and should slightly--->drastically improve your ipods performance depending on factors such as how fragmented (jumbled) your files are, how many files you have on the ipod, the size of each file etc.
these are the only things i can think of!!! try both... see how you get on.

Problem with video playback on Ipod

I am having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I was given a 30GB Ipod for my birthday. I am running Windows Vista on a 3GHZ machine with 3GB of ram. I downloaded and installed the latest Itunes and Quicktime. I have no problem syncing all my music files, those synced and play properly. When I had Itunes convert some videos I had and sync them, the Ipod does not playback the video correctly. I get about 1 frame every 5-10 seconds. The audio on the video is fine and sounds normal, just the video is freezing. I loaded itunes on my XP notebook and converted and synced the exact same video and it plays great on the ipod. It appears that itunes is corrupting the video during the conversion on my Vista machine. Has anyone else ran into this and if so what is the fix?? I called support and the gentleman told me he had heard of the problem before but said their database was down and he could not access the article. He was supposed to email me the article but I never received it. Thanks for your help in advance.
Gary

Just an update, I think I may have found the problem, but not a permanent fix. I failed to mention I am running a raid striped array. I tried inserting a 2gb usb drive with my video file into the computer. I then went into itunes and changed the itunes directory to the USB drive. I then proceeded to have Itunes convert the file for ipod, synced the file and then it played properly on the ipod. I do not have a external drive large enough to hold all my videos. It is either a problem with the raid array or the fact the files are on the boot drive. Anyone have a fix so I can you my computers hard drives??????????
Gary
P.S. Support still has not emailed me the article they were suppose to send. I have 7 days to return the ipod and if I do not get a answer back by then I guess I will return it for something else.

This message recently popped up on my PC - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." What does this mean and how to fix ??

Hi Everyone - recently this message popped up on my PC, when I was trying to import cd's into the iTunes library and then onto my iPod - "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly." Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it ?? I am not fantastically PC savvy, so any information explained fully and all steps to follow to get my music playing again would be great !! Thanks, SC

Hi B, thanks so much for helping me troubleshoot !!
Ok, so when I went in to check the Audio tab of the Sounds and Audio Device Properties, I found the following:-
* Sound Playback Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* Sound Recording Default Device = No Playback Devices.
* MIDI Music Playback Default Device = No MIDI Playback Devices.
All text in this drop-down box were light grey, and therefore unable to be selected or altered.
I also tried playing a cd through Windows Media player, to see if I could get sound a different way. When I put the cd in and clicked on Play, the following message appeared, "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your PC, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functoning properly."
Any ideas ? I had sound previously, but then a work colleague re-built the PC to add more space to the hard drive, and since then, no sound. I know this may now not just be an iTunes issue, but I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
Thanks again,
Shell
