No Sound After DVD is Burned

I used a song from iTunes and when I look at the asset window the audio file says its protected. Is this why there is no sound when I burn the DVD? If yes how do I change the audio from mp4? Tried to convert it in iTunes but no luck.

iTunes will not convert protected files (bought from iTunes Store) to any other format. It is impossible to use those songs in DVD Studio Pro in that format.

  • Only hear 8 mins of audio after dvd being burned. help please

    i keep trying to burn an avi file to idvd, but once its burned only the first 8 minutes of audio can be heard after that video looks fine but it becomes a silent film, i called apple and they said to go to advanced and click on delete encoded assets and that should fix the problem, but it didint. Has anyone had this problem and if so did you find a way to fix it?
    id appreciate any help!
    Thanks in advance

    There's a known issue with 12 bit audio and iDVD. But its issue is syncing when encoded. It's unlikely that's the issue but it might. That's out of my area. See these topics: Re: Audio not in sync, Re: Audio sync problem when burning to DVD and So many audio problems.
    They might have a suggestion you can try. Have you tried the disk image route yet?

  • Sync Goes Out on Several Clips AFter DVD Pro Burn

    This problem existed on several clips that were relatively close together in timeline. As this is a 52' video with many cuts and multi-tracks, I tried using the audio mixdown render in FCP and then burned again. There was an improvement, but I still have one clip out of sync.
    Any ideas on what else to do?
    I'm exporting to QT Conversion and encoding as high as I can push the DVD Pro encoder - to around 7.2.
    FCP 5
    DVD PRO 4

    I'm correcting what I reported earlier. The sync goes out on the output from FCP. This is NOT a DVD STUDIO PRO problem! I'm using the QUICKTIME CONVERSION option on the output.
    I'll repost in the FCP forum.

  • Poor image quality after DVD is burned.

    Hi,
    Project is fine in FCP and in iDVD before burn but when the burned dvd is played some of the images have lines or large pixels. The large pixels are very obvious in bright or white shots. Haven't had any other problems with the Mac for 4 years.
    Any suggestions or solutions?
    Thanks

    Hi
    a. Can it be so that Your movie is in PAL (25fps) and iDVD in NTSC (29.97fps)
    No good way to do it - I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert
    b. I do from FinalCut Pro 6
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - IMPORTANT !
    This file I import into iDVD
    Else read my list on DVD-Quality
    1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    2.Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
    This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario

  • No sound when movies are burned onto DVD

    I have sound in my movies when I preview the project before I burn it but after it's burned the sound disappears from the movies... The theme music is there but no sound from the movies. Was I suppose to import sound or something? Please help.

    Hi, am not an expert like the others are, but I too had the same problem and read somewhere in this forum that this happens (no sound) if you had chapter markers on your iMovie and you placed the chapter mark at a place that doesnt exactly align with where the music for that chapter starts. So what I did was to go back to my iMovie project, i deleted the previous chapter marker, made sure the music for that chapter started exactly where the chapter started, and then added a new chapter marker. then when you open iDVD, it will prompt you if you want to update your "assets", say yes. then go to Movies and drag that same project in.
    I hope it works for you. It did for me (but unfortunately I found out there was no music in one of my chapters only after I had already burned 10 copies!!). Hope you are luckier.

  • Incorrect chapter playback after DVD burn

    Hi, I'd appreciate some help with solving this issue. Thanks.
    I created a movie using iMovie 6.0.3 on my older PowerBook G4. I burned 2 DVDs using iDVD 7.0.4 and everything was perfect. A week later I wanted to burn more DVDs of the same movie using iDVD without changing anything! But when I play the movie after it was burned it starts playing from Chapter 5 (I have 10 chapters in the movie)!
    Why would it do that?
    I didn't change any settings anywhere. I checked the project in iMovie and everything looked right. I also checked the DVD Map and I think all was right there too. The burned DVD will play from the beginning only if I click on Chapter 1.
    Thank you,

    Thank you very much! Problem resolved.
    I had my movie already saved up on iDisc as a QuickTime file (with all chapters already marked). I downloaded it to my MacBook Pro then imported it to iDVD and burned from there with no problems.
    This time I wasn't getting the message "Update or Cancel" after returning to iDVD for some more burning later, where iMovie 6 on my older PowerBook G4 was giving me that message and even when pressing the "Cancel" button it would still not allow me to burn the DVD without the updates.
    Cheers,

  • Hey Guys, I have a IMAC G5 and I just uploaded Ilife 08 to it,  the problem is, when I create a DVD it sounds good until I burn it. About 1/4 of the way through it the sound stops..  What's going on with it?   Is it the encoding proocess??  I'm stumped...

    Hi
    A. iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choice if one aim to do a DVD as they all discard the quality of the picture by discarding every second line in it. NO way around this due to that it happens between Event's and Project's so as soon as it is being edited - Quality is lost.
    B. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut
    C. if iM'08 to 11 is a must - THEN DO NOT - Share to iDVD - BUT - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (or ev. Medium)
    THEN DO - Save as a DiskImage and see that this plays OK and ALL SOUND
    D. if added audio from iTunes - then instead in iTunes - Collect all needed Audio into a NEW PlayList then BURN this as an Audio-CD (.aiff - NOT .mp3 or other) - Then use the Files on this CD in Your Movie Project's (I do)
    E. I only use .aiff audio - 48kHz 16-bit (miniDV tape Camera) or 44.1kHz Audio CD - NEVER .mp3 or .wma or other file format - ALL is converted first into .aiff - ALWAYS ! - I have very few problem with Audio in my projects in iMovie or FinalCut !

  • Recording a surround sound cd/dvd for home theater

    I am trying to burn a 5.1 surround sound cd/dvd with different audio in each channel.  I have created the file without any problems and it will play on my computer in surround sound.  When I burn the cd/dvd (I have tried both) all of the audio plays in all channels. How do I burn the file onto a disc so that it will play correctly as surround sound in my home theater?

    I know this question was asked ages ago, but I'm sure others are probably looking for an answer too (as I was over a year ago, when I started working with Audition 3).
    In my experience, there is no way to directly export a functional 5.1 file from Audition.  You can surround mix a file using the surround panner, but you can't export in the file format used by most home theater systems (.ac3 - Dolby Surround Sound).  My solution was to track down a standalone encoder, although there may be pugins available to allow Audition to do this.  After surround mixing, I export to 5 mono wav files and then drop them into this absolutely ancient program called Soft Encode, which creates a single, interleaved .ac3 file out of my source files.  Then, I take the .ac3 file, create a blank video the same length, and use my video editor to burn them to a DVD.
    From what my research turned up, the reason Audition does not have the capability to export in .ac3 is because of the expense of licensing with Dolby.  I would love to see a more sophisticated surround panner in AA4, as well as the ability to natively export .ac3 files, but by the same token, I don't want to see a skyrocketing price, so I'm waiting to see what happens!

  • IMac Duo shuts down when trying to encode a DVD for burning.

    Last night my Imac Duo 17" with one GB of memory shut down and wouldn't eject a DVD after encoding and burning a DVD with iDVD. The upper LEFT hand corner of the iMac was very hot to the touch. I checked the temperature with CoreDuoTemp before it shut down and it read 170 degrees F.
    On restart...all I got was a white screen...without the ability to get a startup screen or eject the DVD.
    This morning...after leaving the machine on for about five minutes...the DVD ejected itself and I got a startup screen. Now everything seems to be working fine. It seems to me that the machine shut down because of the heat.
    I reported this to Apple and they said that even if I had applecare they couldn't do anything without a specific hardware issue to report and probably wouldn't repair it. They said that overheating and shutting down wasn't enough to request a repair. That the machine was too hot to touch in the upper left hand corner didn't seem to concern them.
    This makes me wonder if it's worth getting Applecare? What has happened to Apple that an overheating problem doesn't merit a repair or replacement of a two month old iMac?
    Does the machine have to actually start on fire before they will do anything about it?

  • Keynote to quicktime movie to iDVD, no sound on dvd

    I know this has been asked a million times, however I (a relatively recent Mac convert) absolutely can't believe that Apple would not allow this to work.
    I have a keynote slideshow with music. I "send to iDVD" as well as "export" into a quicktime movie. Resultant files are movie and soundtrack. I bring into iDVD. Sound plays in iDVD. Burn dvd from iDVD, no sound on dvd.
    C'mon, the instructions are there, the menus are there. Apple can't expect us to "import into iMovie, match movie and soundtrack" or "burn using disk utility" or otherwise do anything other than take a keynote and make it in to a dvd.
    Worst case, can I just burn a CD or DVD that automatically plays the keynote with sound and doesn't have the cool DVD Menu?
    Again, sorry for the "same old question", however I have not found a fix that worked nor do I believe that Apple means for this to be so difficult.
    For those experts out there that have seen this question before, I really have spent a significant amount of time researching the problem and haven't found a fix that worked or an official response from Apple.
    Thanks again.

    I am not running this on an intranet, I am creating a video for my students and posting it to my Internet web page. So if I were to post the keynote file itself, 4/5 of my students would be unable to open it because they don't have Macs. Some do not even have desktop computers and view stuff on their smart phones. I solved the issue, at least partially, by saving the presentation as html and posting it to my site that way. It works but it is a bit buggy. Would still rather make it into a movie.

  • Changing target directory of sound effects, DVD templates etc.

    My Adobe Premiere 13 works fine but I want to change the target directory of sound effects, DVD templates etc. Default setting is C:\ .... In Adobe Organizer such option is not offered. How can I change this target directory?

    newbie Sue
    Premiere Elements 13/13.1 have content download located in the Online Folder...
    Please see

    I have found that once deleted the Online Folder will regenerate in the same place from which it was deleted.
    So, try it if you must, but I would discourage you from doing so.
    Please explain what the Elements Organizer has to do with all this. Are you trying to get Sound Effects and Movie Menus into the

  • Alignment Issues with Buttons after disc is burned

    I have a Widescreen project that I set in iDVD 6, and everything looks great on the preview. Once I burned it out to a disc and played it in another DVD player, the highlight marks for the buttons were distorted out to the left or right, depending on the original placement of the button. Is this a glitch they fixed in 6.02, or is there a button setting that controls this?

    Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
    Is this a glitch they fixed in 6.02,
    You should always keep all software up-to-date!!! Including QuickTime.
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Audio gets out of sync after export and burn to iDVD - works in iMovie

    I've burned my DVD show twice on iMovie and iDVD and the audio music tracks slowly get displaced over the course of the show (15 min) after exporting and burning to iDVD. It gets pushed back so that it starts later each new track...I've locked the audio to the playhead for each new audio track - however, there are some empty gaps between the tracks, does this have anything to do with the displacement? Or should it not matter since the tracks are locked?
    I had it all synced up in the playback on iMovie and had it aligned with visuals, however, after burning, it gets displaced and everything gets off...
    Any help would be appreciated, thank you
