No audio on my DVD slideshow

I have iDVD 3. I followed all steps, and included audio with my slideshow from iPHOTO. In preview the song plays, but after burning, I only have the slideshow. I tried on my computer and a DVD player. New to all of this and I have a brain injury, so please be detailed. Thanks so much.

Sue,
I'll assume the same response would work for this issue?
After having made many movies and disc images that work fine, I decided to make a slideshow in iPhoto, then send it to iDVD to burn a disc.
The pictures show up--minus the random transitions that were set in the slideshow--and there is no music. Though the music plays in the iDVD preview, there is no sound on the slideshow when I play it through a DVD player, or even if I try to play the disc on my Macbook.
I've got two shiny new drink coasters as a result.
What am I doing wrong, or not doing?
Losing the random transitions from the original slideshow is also annoying.

  • Photos stored in DVD-ROM section of DVD Slideshow

    I have created a DVD Slideshow using 50 pictures from iphoto and I checked "Add image files to DVD-ROM" box. I have done this several years ago but am totally baffled as to to link these images to a button which will allow access to them from the finished DVD. HELP!

    Hi cputzi
    You can do this w/in DVDSP.
    Did you already check out the iDVD Help Menu Procedure?
    To create a slideshow in iDVD:
    1. Click Media to open the Media pane, then click Photos to display your iPhoto albums.
    2. Drag an album to the DVD menu. A button is created that links to the images. The button has the name of your iPhoto album and automatically displays the first slide in the slideshow.
    3. If you want to change the button label, select the button and type a new name.
    4. Double-click the button to open the slideshow editor.
    5. The slideshow editor shows thumbnails of the photos in the slideshow. Drag the slider to change the size of the thumbnails, so you can see more slides at once, or fewer slides with more detail.
    6. Add, arrange, or delete slides from the slideshow to create the sequence you want.
    • To add other images, drag files or folders from the Finder to the slideshow editor.
    • To reorder the images, select the slides you want to move and drag them to a different position.
    • To delete an image, select it and choose Edit > Delete.
    7. Click Settings and select the settings you want for the slideshow:
    • "Loop slideshow" makes the slideshow repeat continuously until the viewer moves to a different part of the DVD.
    • "Display navigation arrows" shows navigation arrows on the screen to indicate where the viewer is in the slideshow.
    • "Add image files to DVD-ROM" adds copies of the slideshow images to the DVD disc so viewers can download them to their computers.
    • "Show titles and comments" lets you add titles and comments to your slideshow images that are visible in the slideshow.
    8. Click the Transition pop-up menu and choose a transition to smoothly move from one image to the next.
    9. Click the Slide Duration pop-up menu and choose the length of time you want each slide to stay on the screen. Be sure to allow enough time for the transition you selected.
    10. To let the viewer advance through the slideshow manually using a remote control, choose Manual.
    11. Note: If you're adding a soundtrack, you don't need to set the slide duration.
    12. To add a soundtrack, click Media to open the Media pane, then click Audio to find a song in your iTunes library or GarageBand that would make a nice background for the slideshow.
    13. Drag the song or audio track from the Media pane, or from another location on your hard disk, and drop it in the audio well in the slideshow editor.
    14. iDVD automatically adjusts the overall duration of the slides to match the length of the audio clip. The slide duration is changed to "Fit to Audio." You can change the duration if you want.
    15. Drag the "Slideshow volume" slider to set the volume. You can check the volume when you preview the slideshow.
    Note: When you add RAW images from iPhoto, the RAW files will appear in the slideshow as JPEG images. The RAW files are placed in the DVD-ROM portion of the disc if you choose that option.
    Hope this is helpful

  • DVD, slideshow, editing, maker

    hey everyone
    Has anyone ever had to make a DVD slideshow before?
    What programs are out there?
    I have been asked to create a slideshow of images (possibly some video). I have currently downloaded 'imagination' from the AUR it is quite ok, it is very simple and easy like described but dosn't have as much control as i want. After a little playing around I don't think it is possible to control audio tracks very well, insert videos, or export directly to a DVD (or ISO). I have also tried bombono-dvd but it dosn't really do what i want.
    I want to know if anyone has any experience, or knows any other programs that are worth looking at.
    cheers,
    marno

    You have several possibilities.
    I use openshot, kdenlive, then you can export them to the file you want.

  • Audio jumps in idvd slideshow

    On my G4 pwrbk, I created an iDVD project with a movie from iMovie and added some photos from iPhoto to My Slideshow in iDvd. Its about 30 jpegs and I scored it to one audio track lasting about 3 minutes. I put transitions between the photos, and in preview, before I burn the disc, the slideshow is sharp. Seamless. Glorious.
    After the disc is burned, I view it on a Dvd player and now there are audio glitches in the slideshow only, when the pictures change(the music pauses inbetween the picture transitions). Now all of a sudden, the slideshow is stunted and lurching! Never had this problem before, the movie itself plays without flaw.
    Of course I imagined it a fluke and reburned it again. Repeat failure. Next I changed the audio track. After that I changed the transitions between photos. Now more desperate, I scratched the whole iDVD project and started over from iMOVIE and iPHOTO. After creating a whole new iDVD project it still does it. I am out of ideas and have 5 less blank DVDs.
    Helplease.

    as far as the 12/16 bit is concerned, i believe it is 12 bit
    That could be your problem.
    First reset the camera so all future filming is with 16 bit.
    Look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61636
    There is another workaround by taking the clips and doing extract audio from the advanced menu in iMovie.

  • 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..  

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it 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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

    is there any way to import the photos from a DVD slideshow I made in 2007? they are set to music and there are quite a few photos on the slideshow. I didn't back up the photos on a separate DVD/CD so the photos are all there but i don't know how to import them from a musical slideshow. Help!

  • 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
    b dvd audio ripping
    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.
