No stereo when DVD plays back on DVD player

I create a fair amount of photo/slideshows and then burn it all with music onto a DVD.
In the past, the playback was always in stereo, but now the playback is in dismal mono sound!...
I could be my new HD digital television set and I'll just have to explore that also. But when I did get ready to "burn" my dvd, I was given a "prompt" that gave me the choice of "how" I wanted to do this.
I recall it asked me if "a data burn" was okay. I do recall that I also saw an "MP3" option also.
Could this be the problem. I'm not sure if this audio prompt came from "idvd", itunes, or "imovie"..
Any suggestions?.
thanks...

Another possibility is, the TV that you have has all the color taken out. To find out I would see if the TV plays anything else in color. If it plays cable TV input and the input from the DVD Player in black and white then the problem is probably a setting in the TV. But if the black and white problem is only occurring with the input from the DVD Player the problem is either 1)Mac-onga is right and the plugs are put in the wrong inputs on the back/front of the TV OR 2)there is a black and white setting on the DVD player.
Hope this helps,
TC

DVD freeze when play back on dvd player

Hello,
I create a DVD with DVD SP 3.01, When I play back the dvd in 3 brand of dvd player it freeze after 12 min of playback for about 2 sec and after continue to play to go to an other freeze about 10 to 12 min after. It does that in dvd with 25 min and more. If I do a small dvd of 10 min I see no freeze. I ckeck the MPEG2 file made by FCP and there is no freeze inside of it. I also put the QT directly in DVD sp ( encode it before burn ) and I have the same problem. Any idea...
thanks

It may be the brand of disc. Try Verbatim DVD-R or Verbatim DVD+R DL.

Disc I Made With iDVD Will Not Play Back in DVD Player

I used iDVD to burn DVDs I made with iMovie. The DVDs play back without problem on my home DVD player, but when I try to play them on my Mac G5, the computer keeps ejecting the discs. How can this be? Sureley the discs are compatible with my system or they would not be burnable. Please help!

Hi r
No this is an often described problem.
To make a DVD playable to as many devices as possibly there are some alt ways
to go,.
1. From iMovie to iDVD: I don't use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie.
I drop my movie project icon (with a Star on it) into the open window in iDVD.
2. After done necessary adjustments I go to File/Save as a Disk Image.
3. This disk image I burn with Roxio Toast™ but You can also use Apple Disk Util tool.
4. AT AN AS SLOW speed as possibly eg x1, x2 or x4 => Less errors in burn process.
5. I use Verbatim DVD-R. There are other High Quality brands - this I use.
DVD+R or +/- RW I don't use !!
This DVD should play on nearly all devices.
Yours Bengt W

DVD won't play back in bluray player

I just created a DVD in DVD SP, about 5 mins long with audio. It plays back beautifully on the computer, but my sony bluray player doesn't recognize it at all. I haven't tried on a standard DVD player, but I don't see how that would help. A previously made DVD plays fine on the player. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Shelley

Dear Shawn,
Still no good. In a render last night, weirdly, even in my Mac the disk was unreadable and the warning said it was blank, but I rendered again and it works fine on the Mac. But on my SONY player, nothing.
I changed DVD SP to standard in the Preferences and re-created the project from scratch. I used the DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes setting with no changes. Here is the breakdown:

I am at my wits' end. I have two weeks to get this done for a memorial for my late father so you see my desperation.
Do you have any possibilities left? I'd go ahead and sign up for the Pro classes at the Apple Store, but in NYC I'm afraid I wouldn't even get to see anyone in time for FCP and its suite.
Thank you for any advice.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

As im recording videos on Photo Booth, my movements seem late. then when i play back the video, the sound comes in really late. how do i fix this?

theres like a 5 second delay from when i say something to when the sound of my voice actually comes in when i play back movies in photobooth.i tried restarting my computer and even turning on *auto flip new items. when i turn that on the problem is fixed for only one video. when i try to record the next one its back to the delay. is there anyway to trouble shoot this? or do i have to take my mac to the apple store. to top it all off ive only had my computer for 5 days. help please !!!!

I had the same problem since my moutain lion update, too.
I fixed it in the following way.
-Search for utilities on the HELP option on the top taskbar
- Go to utilities and open your audio-midi-setup.
- check your input and output properties
- Change input and output 44100khz and 16-BIT for both.(these are the most common properties)
my sound and video are not ouf sync in photo booth anymore.
let me know if it works for you!
cheers

When i play back an mp3 dj mix i,ve burn,t to cd in my car when i turn the engine of and then restart the car the cd starts back from the beginning how do i solve this problem so that when i turn the engine on end off the cd plays from the same place

when i play back an mp3 dj mix i,ve burn,t to cd in my car when i turn the engine of and then restart the car the cd starts back from the beginning how do i solve this problem so that when i turn the engine on end off the cd plays from the same place it did before i turned the engine off

It could be that the CD player will only playback "Redbook" CD's from the previous position.
And starts mp3 type CD's from the beginnig.
However.. it's not Logic related.

When I play back newly burned disk the video is cut off on each side of the screen. It shows the entire display area in the pic window before i burn it.How can i fix this?

Idvd
when i play back the newly burned disc, the image on the tv set is cut off on each side.( there is still room on each side of the tv set for the image to show but it is as if the movie was cut about 2-3 inches off on each side) but not when i play it back on my computer?? Why is this and what can I do to fix it?

Also the tv set has wide and normal modes this does not change the loss of size. (I guess you can say it is cropped.)

No Audio when I capture (mac) but it's there when I play back???!!!

Hi all,
I've just got premiere for MAC and have a slight problem when I capture.
I can see the image, but no sound.
When I play back the captured piece, the audio is there, it's just a hassle having to capture a whole tape when I only need one sound bite.
Any ideas?

What camera are you Capturing from? What is your Project/Sequence Preset?
I also wonder if this is a Conforming issue, as you do end up with the Audio, once done. Conforming can take a bit of time, predicated on the power of one's computer, the Duration of the file and the Audio stream source.
Good luck,
Hunt

Since nobody here can possibly know what is included in "majority suggestions posted for this problem" then your next step would be a trip to an Apple Store and ask for their help.

What is wring when you play back movies and get no sound?

What do I have to do to get sound when I play back movies purchased from Itunes?

Help! DVD is pixelating when played back on household player

Help please! This is driving me mad...
I searched the archives but couldn't find the answer, and if I don't finish this wedding video by Monday my mate is gonna litterally string me up!
I've cut the project in Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 - exported as a quicktime file and I'm rying to burn it onto DVD using a Lacie external DVD +/- rw double layer drive. I've been trying to do this using toast 6 lite.
The finished product will play back fine on my iBook, and my mate's powerbook, but when I try and play it back through the telly on a normal DVD player it keeps pixelating - almost like a pulse.
Any ideas? Will save a friendship....
I've been using bog standard sony DVDs, and burnt them at 16x. I'm going to give it a bash at 1x as I've heard this might help - but there seem to be two options in toast - 1x and 1xDVD.
Thanks, Paula.

Paula:
You didn't post any information about how you authored/burned your DVD, but this is a general basic workflow:
- From your sequence timeline in FCP select Export > Using Compressot
- In Compressor select the DVD: High quality 90 min preset (or the preset that match your sequence lenght!) and use the MPEG2 preset for your video and the AC3 for your audio.
- Select a destination where to locate your finale files.
- When completed, import thos .m2v and .ac3 files into DVDSP and create a track with them
- You can build your menus or just select that track as First Play and burn your disc.
- You can check this tutorial about Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site). It's a good procedure for safe burning.
Hope that helps!

Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings. I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD. This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV. I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size). Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720. I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
Here are the export settings:
Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player. As you'll see everything looks very clean:
I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD. I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room. Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer. These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
Are my WMV settings correct? Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)? I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A DVD is 720x480 so anything larger must be scaled down to be legal according to the DVD specification
