No sound in dvd players

I need your help to understand and solve this problem. I have no sound problem in FCP. I export the sound and the video as a QT file. The sound is fine. I encode my files with Compressor, the resulting ac3 file plays fine. I transfer my files to DVD Studio Pro, the sound plays fine in there. I create the file ready to burn. I play the file with the DVD Player program in OSX, the sound is fine. I burn the files with Toast Titanium. The DVD plays fine in the computer's DVD player, the sound is fine. I want to play the DVD with 2 different DVD player connected to my TV and then some sections have no sound. I can't find oout where the problem is. I have already tried to reencode everything and the problem is always at the same places. HEEEELP! Please

Try opening the video_ts folder in apple DVD player (or similar app) BEFORE you burn the DVD and see if the missing sound is in the original MPEG file. That way you can determine if it's an encoding or a burn issue.
You could also try just dropping your QT export MOV straight into toast and burn a video DVD again to check the problem.
I don't understand however why you export as a QT from FCP then encode from compressor from there. Why not just export to compressor direct from your FCP timeline and prevent another round of loss and compression on your video material?

  • Sound on DVD players, but not computer??

    I had to switch from my mac to a PC in order to burn a DVD. I can get the DVD to work in a regular DVD player, but in PC's there is Video but no Sound?
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks All!

    I had the same bizarre problem. Burned DVDs would play with sound on commercial DVD players, but not on my PowerBook through the DVD Player application. Attempting to solve the problem, I used Handbrake to rip the DVDs. The ripped files would play fine with sound if placed on my 5G iPod, but not on my Mac through QuickTime (still video only, no sound). This fixed the probem: launch Audio MIDI Setup (it is in your Utilities folder) and check the volume output sliders. One of mine was set to zero output, even though I had never before launched Audio MIDI Setup. I moved the output slider controls to maximum. Problem solved. Good luck.

  • Burning discs that work in low-end DVD players

    Hi everybody.
    Situation: I'm burning DVDs of a rough cut of a documentary for festivals and various interested parties. I'm burning with DVD SP. I was using Memorex 16X DVDs. The resulting DVDs work on computers and most DVD players. But they don't work on mine, a cheap Toshiba (SD-2109).
    So I switched to Verbatim 4X DVDs. Same result. They work on computers and most - but not all - DVD players and not on my DVD player.
    Should I switch to a different brand/different burn speed? Or is it impossible to burn DVDs on DVD SP that are reliable everywhere? Do I need to be burning with Toast so I can match the burn speed to the disc speed AND use a higher end DVD such as verbatim? Memorex 16X DVDs burned with Toast set at 16X do not play on my DVD player either.

    Assuming that everyone who had a failure reported it, that is 4% from burned DVDs from a computer using Memorex, which does not sound that bad believe it or not.
    The SD-2109 is a rather old player and some older players can be difficult, there is a difference between a replicated DVD and a burned DVD in how they work/made.
    If possible you can try this:
    www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/making_dvdcopies.html
    and burn in finder using a slower speed. Also if could be that the media is not playable
    But before you do that, look here for the media playback issue for your machine, it is listed as an issue on a couple of sites - in other words it looks DVD-R/Player issue more than a DVD SP issue.

  • How do you burn a slideshow to a DVD that will play on DVD players and PC computers?

    I burned a slideshow in Aperture onto a DVD containing about 40 photos with a sound track from iTunes.  The disk will play on my iMac but not on my wife's PC or on two of our DVD players (less than three years old.).  What am I missing in the burning sequence that causes the problem? 

    What Shutttleworth says is the way to go however you might run into one gotcha, iDvd is no longer available if you bought your current machine with Lion on it.
    iDvd use to be part of iLife but is no longer offered as either a seperate download from the App Store or as part of any App Store bundle. If you can still find an iLife boxed set iDvd will be on the DVD in the box. Other then that you'll need to look at thrid party solutions.
    Of course if you upgraded to Lion and had iLife before the upgrade you should have a copy of iDvd.
    good luck

  • Help, I'm drowning...movies play on computer but not in DVD players

    a problem i seem to have with my videos is that when I am done, they play on computers using dvd player apps but when I burn them to a DVD to play in a DVD player they do not play correctly. It drops frames or looks like they skip or something..For instance they play for a couple of seconds, stop, continue to play, stop, continue to play...this goes on throughout the entire video.
    What causes this to happen? I've experimented with different compression formats and get the same outcome. I also tried both DVD studio and Toast to burn the DVD and get same results with both.
    Is there a basic setting that I am over looking? What is the format that everyone uses when using Compressor? Currently I go from FCP, to Compressor, to DVD...I have nearly went through all the compressor formats and still get jerky,stop/play/stop/play video when going to the DVD format....
    HELP...what am I over looking??

    "....and you still haven't converted your audio to Dolby2 as I've suggested since my first post."
    YES It was converted in compressor to a Dolby/ac3 file this morning when i mentioned it in my last post .."that I re-compressed it again as a "Best Quality 90...." and said that it fixed about 95% of the jerkiness..."
    And since your first post i've only been at the project since this morning...not last night.and it was the first thing i tackled (and tried) when i got in ..When I posted the issue i was at home and not at the office, so Iwas not able to try anything until this morning
    So let me re-explain what I have done to the file since 7:30 this AM..
    I re-sent it to compressor, compressed at Best 90/Dolby ->AC3....I then opened DVDsp...I dragged both files...(the Mpeg file and the AC3 to the DVDsp window...Simulated and burned..I burn two copies. one for me, one for the client...we use two different DVD players. He says its still a lil jerky...I reply saying yes I saw it on my disc as well.
    SO with being said and the file IS currently a dolby AC3...why would it still be jerky?
    Would it have anything to do with footage being ripped from another disc?
    I really appreciate the help you offering but it sounds like you are being condescending trough your answers and making it seem as though i am not doing what you suggest.

  • Burned DVD plays in computers, but does not play in DVD players

    I found a discussion of a similar problem from back in 2010, but in that thread the only reply was suggested burning at 1x and trying different media. There was no further correspondence so I can't tell if that suggestion resolved the issue. I tried burning again at 1x and using different media (we're using Verbatim) without success, so I ask again.
    The problem is with menu navigation in DVD.
    The main menu has the probelem. It has four buttons arranged in a 2x2 square that send viewers to 4 submenus. Each submenu has three buttons - play without subtitles, play with subtitles, return to main menu.
    In any computer (we've tried it in 8: MACs and PCs) navigation of the main menu works perfectly using the mouse (although not the up/down left/right buttons on the keyboard... is THAT normal?).
    But in the four DVD players in which we've tried it we cannot navigate to the button on the lower right using the buttons on their remote controls, although the other three buttons work just fine.This happens in our ancient $29 DVD player, in our brand new $1,000 blu-ray player and in everything in between.
    I've looked at the programing and cannot find any difference between the buttons that work and the one that doesn't. The design preview perfectly and to add confusion a previous version of this disc (I had to link one timeline to new media) plays perfectly in any player.
    I'm stumped. I'd be panicked except for the fact that, post sign-off, the client has decided to make just one more little change in the video, so I have another couple of days.
    Thanks, JP

    Misters Simon and Jones - THAT WAS IT !!!
    I'm a newby and self-taught with a long way to go.
    I had stumbled across this screen while working on another project weeks ago, but at that moment I was working to deadline and did not pay the least attention to it. Of course, when I tried to go back to the screen I hadn't the faintest idea where it was or what the screen/process was called and, so, had no way to look it up.
    It wasn't until you said "Button Routing" that it clicked. THAT sounded like it was exactly the problem, so I trolled HELP and found the answer. Thanks for the very useful stab in the dark.
    My test DVD hasn't finished burning, so I'm not absolutely sure myproblem is solved, but I am very confident you have directed me to the solution.
    I'm working studio production today and through the weekend, but before I go incommunicado for 4 days, I wanted to say "Thanks a bunch".

  • DVD does not play back on all computers and DVD players after burning

    I have built and formatted a dvd using dsp but it will not playback on laptops even though it works fine on dvd players macs, and pcs. On some laptops there is no sound others just crash. Is this a problem with the laptops or how i have formatted the dvd?

    suggestion 1
    If you are trying to playback on a PC laptop running windows:
    Do not use Windows Media Player to play back the DVD, it wont work, it is not a DVD player.
    Use the software supplied with the DVD drive such as Win DVD or Power DVD.
    suggestion 2
    The disc format is incompatible with the DVD drive:
    If the disc you created is a DVD-R and you play on a DVD+R drive, or a DVD+R disc played in a DVD-R drive then the disc will not play.
    suggestion 3
    the drive is a CD drive not a DVD drive

  • Alternative to Blu-Ray and HD DVD players?

    I just watched The Keynote presentation for 2008 and saw that there is a new software update that revolutionizes the Apple TV. The first idea that came to mind is the battle between Blu-Ray and HD DVD. With the HD capabilities of the Apple TV now and Dolby Digital 5.1 support, would it be safe to say that, if one wasn't worried about having a hard copy of the HD movie, the Apple TV could be an alternative to the battle of the current generation of formats?
    Could one say that the Apple TV does the same job as these high definition players? Let it be noted that I haven't experienced movie quality in iTunes yet.

    There are 3 separate issues here.
    First, the monitor quality and capability:
    If you have 1920x1080 resolution monitor that can display 1080p (progressive scan), then ATV will be significantly inferior than BRD or HD/DVD player sending 1080p signal natively to full HD monitor. If your monitor is less than that (say 1366x768 or 1280x720 and can handle only 1080i (interlace) or 720p), probably not all that much different than ATV displaying at 720p (which is 1280x720). The only thing is the amount of bitrate (data per/second) that ATV content provides versus BRD or HD/DVD content.
    Second, all BRD and HD/DVD players "upscales" 480i DVD (Stand Def) content to 1080i/p, which can be quite good. I've not been impressed with ATV's ability to upscale 640x480 content (iTune SD content) to large monitors. Also, SD DVDs are actually encoded at over 800x480 for widescreen content these days and bitrate is much higher than 1500 for iTune movies.
    Third issue:
    The audio on ATV HD content is 5.1 whereas DolbyHD and DTS equivalent are 7.1 - which if you have setup your room with 7.1 system (like I have), 5.1 is a bit of a disappointment. Further, SD DVD from iTune store is still DD2.0, and while most receivers can handle that into DD-II/IIx, it is simulated and not discrete sound output. SD DVDs have 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 depending on content/movie.
    So the long answer to being BRD or HD/DVD player alternative is it depends. One must tradeoff the benefit of a dedicated player in addition to ATV (or MacMini for that matter).
    Certainly cannot debate about the convenience, if one has a decent broadband connection and n/g router setup.

  • DVD studio Pro compatibility issues in DVD players?

    Greetings folks,
    I thought I was done burning DVD's with DVD studio pro of a dance reception I taped last month.   Only tested my product on MAC machines.  When I got a call from the client they said they cannot get them to play on their windows 7 machines.  Is there a certain type of codec/reader they should download?
    Or does it sound like I need to bust out the burning discs again?  If that is the case where is the best tutorial for formatting discs so they will play in basically every machine?
    thanks,
    Mike

    First make sure you didn't inadvertently burn an HD DVD.  HD DVDs will play in most later model Macs, but not in DVD players or Windows computers.
    If that wasn't the issue, ask the client which DVD player software they were using.  Windows Media Player is a terrible app for playing burned DVDs - they need to use an actual DVD player app like WinDVD or Cyberlink's PowerDVD.

  • DVD's Created on T400 can't be read on DVD Players

    When I burn a DVD on my T400 (XP-Pro, Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ862A), it can't be read on most DVD players.  I have tried different brands of DVDs (Memorex, Verbatim) and still no luck.  Any ideas what I can do?  Or do you know where I can download an updated driver?  Thanks.

    I guess you would call it a video DVD.  It is just a homemade movie made from a slide show from Windows Movie Maker.  The DVD's I burn on my T400 do play on my son's DVD player which is brand new, and they seem to play on other computers.   But they do not play on either of my DVD players, one of which is about a year old and one is about 3 years old.  If I use the same procedure and same software to burn the DVD on another computer, it plays fine on both my DVD players.  Seems to be something about this DVD drive that has limited compatibility.  Thanks for your help.

  • DVD Plays on computer drives, but not on dvd players

    iDVD 06 - This is a new problem, just happened two days ago. Previous dvd's burned with idvd 06 work just fine on old and new dvd players. I always test them after burning. However this new project will only play on computer dvd drives (mac or pc) but not on my dvd players. The menu screen shows up, but when the play button is pushed it never starts. Disk is clean, re-burned dvd, re-exported the video and re-did the entire dvd, same issue. I have not changed any settings in iDVD 06.
    Yes, I even re-installed idvd 06, but then somehow I lost some of my old themes (which happened to be the ones I wanted to use) I did back up my previous copy of idvd 06 which has my old plain themes that I love to use in the package, so I do have those. But if I bring them into the newley re-installed idvd 06, all the features do not work. Such as being able to change the type size on that paticular menu.
    I am using Verbatim 8X DVD-R's and have successfully used these just the other day on another project! And those work just fine on an old and new dvd player!
    I had to get these dvd's because my burner would not burn on the 16X DVD-R's that I recently bought.
    DVD Burner information is:

    Any suggestions???

    No rhyme or reason... but tried one more time after putting back my old copy of idvd 06 with my oldest themes in it, and I now have DVD's that will play on regular DVD players!
    Now, if Apple could just get us a firmware update for the SONY DVD RW DW-U10A which came with my G-5 and then maybe we could all burn disks at the new 16X speed! Instead of limiting our possibilites.
    Oh and yes, I did contact Sony about firmware updates. They informed me that this is really an OEM drive (whatever that is) and that Sony does not support it!

  • DVD players won't recognize my DVD

    I recently made a DVD slide show and both on my son's portable DVD player and my own fixed DVD player, the DVD continued to "load" as an endless loop and could never be played. I have a new IMac with IDVD 6.0.3. I have made movies (with the new computer and current applications) and burned them to a DVD and nobody in the family had trouble playing them. I use HP DVD-R 16X and I burn at maximum speed. What am I missing? thanks, Dr.Steve

    I use HP DVD-R 16X and I burn at maximum speed. What am I missing?
    High speed burns tend to result in more burn-errors which result in problems playing the DVDs in set top DVD players (usually such discs will play in computers, because computers have more error correction than set top DVD players).
    iDVD doesn't give you burn speed options.
    The only way (other than finding low-speed media) to keep the burn speed at 4x or less, is to make your DVDs in two steps: Step One Create a disk image of your completed project (it's an option under File) and Step Two Use Apple's Disk Utility application to burn the image to writable media. DU will give you burn speed options.
