No Sound From DVD Player

I received my new (refurb.) 15" PB today. Everything works great except I can get no sound from Apples DVD player. CDs, iTunes, system sounds etc. all work correctly. Audo output is set to System Sound Output in DVD Preferences. Using VLC I get DVD sound but lots of dropped frame errors. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. I can play the video part of a DVD but no sound. Audio CDs and Windows sounds work fine. Does this mean I'm missing a DVD codec or is there a software setting I'm missing. The Nvidia codec costs money. Is there a free codec that will fix this? This is with Windows XP and Audigy 2 LS.

Ok I figured it out. I downloaded the Nvidia codec and it works fine. Shouldn't all the sw be aailable with the soundcard though? I really don't want to pay $40 for a codec I do not have the spdif bypass selected.....
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Could i play sound from DVD Player to my stereo?

I have iBook with Airpot Extreme card. I want to buy Express station. Is there is somebody who did try to broadcast sound to express station from something different than iTunes? May it is just impossible?

Before you buy one for this purpose, you must realize that you're liable to be frustrated trying to get the audio to sync with the video. In fact, you'll have to use an app other than Apple's DVD Player in order to get the sync halfway close, and even then you'll likely never get it perfect.
VLC is one possibility. You'll need to use the audio delay option with a negative offset to advance the audio ahead of the video a couple of seconds to compensate for the Airport Express prebuffering delay.

Can't record sound from DVD player

I just built a new DAW with a Gigabyte MoBo that has the Realtek sound chip on board. I installed an M-Audio external Fast Track Pro connected to the computer with USB 2.0. With the two sound devices I can play Band in a Box (my main band) through the Realtek and out put to my mixer. I then use my Line 6 Pod XT as a preamp to my guitar that also goes to my Behringer mixer. I connect the main out (R&L) from the mixer to the 1 and 2 inputs on the M-audio. I set Audio Hardware setup in AA3 to use the M Audio device for input and am able to record mixer output to tracks in AA3. I tried several configs and this is the only one that I found that works. All is good so far.
I installed a SATA DVD player (Lite on 24x) that works fine, but it plays through the M-Audio via USB, bypassing the Realtek chip, and the sound does not show up in AA3. I'm thinking I need to route the DVD output to the mixer to use the channel that is already set up. I've been trying to output the DVD player through the onboard Realtek but can't find any way to direct it to do so. I don't necessarily need it to play through the Realtek, but I want to be able to record from the DVD player.
So, does anyone have any idea how to direct the output of the DVD player to the sound card of choice? I'm stumped.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

G5 with no sound from DVD's

Here's a strange new problem...
I CAN play a CD thru iTunes.
I CAN get tones for clicks, beeps, etc when I change settings on the Sound Preferences panel.
But, when I work on a DVD Tutorial, I can't get the sound from the DVD. And it's not one DVD... it's several.
What's happened?

I no longer have sound with DVD Player. I checked the audio output setting under preferences - there really wasn't much to select. Audio output was set to System Sound Output (the only choice) and "Disable Dolby dynamic range compression" was not selected. I have a MacBook, OS X 10.4.11. The DVD Player is version 4.6.5, Framework version 4.7.0. Was working fine and then when I tried to watch a DVD that I had been watching the night before, there was no sound. The video part if fine. The DVD is fine on a standard DVD player. Sound is fine using iTunes. Any suggestions appreciated.

Did you already reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, try to set it up as new device, explained here:

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

Why no sound from DVD drive H/Phone sockets ?

Hello again folks,
Just a little niggle here. I have just noticed that I am getting no sound from my 2 DVD Drive front headphone sockets. One is an MSI the other a LiteOn, both have Headphone sockets and volume controls but not a sound issues forth, even though i have no probs getting sound from my mobo audio outs and the S bracket. Any idea of which box i haven't ticked ??

Interisting case, it must be a compatibility issue.
Test it with other DVD movies, run it with different software, i.e QuickPlay, Windows Media Player, VLC etc.

Very strange problem with sound in dvd player

Hi
I have a strange issue which I am cannot resolve. I recently purchased season 2 of NYPD Blue on dvd, region 1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008YGRR/qid=1151702794/sr=1-3/ref=sr13/103-1409159-4182204?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130). The season is spread over several discs. The region of the dvds is the same as that of the superdrive on my 1.25 factory spec 15” pb running 10.4.6.(always has been region1) On playing the dvds in dvd player, the sound is very quiet, and you can hear a slight hissing noise (picture is fine). However, if I set the balance of the speakers in system preferences to the left (as far as I can) the sound becomes louder and the hissing disappears. Hence the sound is normal, other that the fact that it is unbalanced. The same happens if I set the balance to the right. Hence the hiss is only there when the balance is set to the centre or around it i.e. slightly to the left or right. This problem is true of all the dvds in the set.
Fair enough, the nypd discs are defective.
However, I then played them in a standalone dvd player without any fancy sound settings etc and no problems at all. Hence I then thought that the problem was with my pb - the only different thing I have done lately is use handbrake to put some of my other dvds (not these NYPD ones) on my iPod, so I thought that handbrake had done something (although I don’t know see how it could have done anything). However, today I tried some other commercial dvds in my pb (produced by the same company) and they sounded fine as has been the case for over two years. Hence, there is something about the nypd blue dvds which affects the quality of the sound output in my pb when the balance is centred. However, whatever this is it doesn’t seem to bother standalone players, nor is it something that anoth of my other dvds have.
Any ideas on what exactly is going on here, as it has me stumped.
(I don't have any other season of nypd blue, so I can't see if these have the same problem as well.)
Thanks

DVD

Is it possible to export a video clip from DVD player to iMovie '09?

If I load a homemade DVD onto my iMac using Disk Utility and then import either the entire disc or portions of the disc into iMovie, that works just fine. However I noticed that some clips are missing in iMovie, even though they are on the iMac in form of a .dmg file on the desktop. The same file that was used to import in to iMovie. If I look at this file using DVD player, everything is there, but some of these clips are missing in the event window. So I created a video clip in DVD player of those pieces missing in iMovie and now how can I get these into iMovie?

Hey, best way to import video from a DVD video disc for editing is to acctually have a simple video file. Use Handbrake or MPEG StreamClip to read the disc and create a video file off the video stream.
You could also set in and out points anc manually create several clips, which may help with playback and rendering for editing. I don't know how extensive you're going to get in your editing with iMovie...
Hope that helped.

How do I get good audio feed from DVD player to my MBP using an optic cable

I have successfully recorded audio off of concert DVD's using Sound Studio 3 by connecting my DVD player to my MBP using left/right outputs to a 35mm input. I purchased an optical cable, connected it to my DVD player and used a 35mm adapter to connnect it to my MBP input. All I get is a weird popping interferance type sound instead of clear audio. Any tips on what is going on? I have correct settings in system preferences (recognizes an optical connection) but all I hear is noise?
Thanks for any help!

I just use mac the ripper with the following instructions
http://www.ripdifferent.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1249&sid=de5cc9506c05b6ba98d6 530884489333
It gives you a few options for audio, I generally save as AAC though you can rip as AIFF and then encode into just about anything with quicktime.

Screen Captures from DVD Player?

I'm using the Apple DVD v3.2, and am wondering if it's possible to catch screen captures (to use for my desk top)....from movies.
I just read the Quicktime question for screen captures, but that didn't work for the DVD player.
Thanks,

No Audio from DVD Player

Mac Pro
OS X 10.4.8 - QuickTime 7.1.3 -
Having a strange problem when trying to play DVD's.
DVD Player plays the images but I get no audio.
I've fiddled with the DVD's language options and
the DVD player controls but still nothing.
So far I've had this problem with all twelve DVD's I experimented with.
CD's, QuickTime, MP3, etc. files play fine - no problems so the problem seems to be DVD Player.
Thanks

I am having the same problem with my G5. It just started today. The most recent update I have done was yesterday to the latest version of iTunes. I have also updated my Powerbook but it hasn't seemed to have affected it yet. I have tried playing DVD's in the VLC media player and at first I get no audio as well but if I change the audio setting from "built-in (encoded)" to just "built-in" it pays back the audio fine. Any ideas?

Doing grabs from dvd player

I've only just started learning how to use the Grab function.
Is it possible to do a grab from a movie I am playing on the dvd player?
A salesman at the local Apple store told me it's doable,
but when I tried just now, a window popped up
and said that 'Screen grabs are unavailable during DVD playback,'
and to 'Quit DVD player first.'

Hi Eustaquio Villafranca,
As far as I know it is not possible and you will need to use a third party app to accomplish it. Have a look at this topic with its accompaning link for a list of applications that are compatible with your OS.
