Out of sync audio when burning a DVD with iDVD

Hello Folks,
I'm trying to burn 3 - 1 minute quicktime files to a DVD using iDVD 7.1.2 and everytime I burn a disc the sound is out of sync. It seems to speed up and finish about 10 seconds earlier than the video. When previewed all is fine. I have checked the 3 quicktime files and they are perfectly in sync when played. Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Hi Bengt,
Thanks for replying ! I spoke with tech support and we tried everything including saving it as a disk image but after the burn it still was out of sync.
Then we tried creating a project in i Movie and then imported (shared) the project into i DVD and it worked !
This was a frustrating issue to tackle but I'm ready for it if it happens again.
Thank you very much for your help. Have a great day.
Best regards,
Joe F

How can I increase resolution when burning a dvd with elements 11 premiere

How can I increase resolution when burning a dvd with elements 11 premiere
I am trying to generate a slide show DVD....the pictures on the TV are poor quality

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve points out, a DVD-Video is set in resolution, to 720 x 480 (for NTSC), in either Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9. That is as good as it can get, and is not a limitation of PrE, but of the DVD-Video specs, which were written a long time ago.
The best that one can get is to play that DVD-Video on an up-rezzing DVD player, or most BD players, that also have up-rezzing, to an HD TV monitor. Those players have dedicated chips, JUST for up-rezzing.
Then, and per Peru Bob's questions, I attain the ultimate Still Images to DVD-Video, by doing my Scaling in Photoshop, and using either the Bicubic Sharper, or Bicubic Smoother Scaling algorithms. I Scale my Camera RAW Images to match my Project's Frame Size, and Crop, where necessary to match the Aspect Ratio of my Images, to the Aspect Ratio of the Project, i.e. if going to a 16:9 Widescreen, I will lose some pixels top and bottom, but I account for that, per my asesthetic.
Note: some PrE users insist that the Scaling in PrE is as good as Photoshop's, but my critical eyes point to using PS. Also, I do NOT use JPEG, which is a lossy, compressed format, and will Save_As PSD from Photoshop, for ultimate quality.
Good luck, and please let us know the pixel x pixel dimensions of your Images.

How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

Move your iPhoto Library and/or your iTunes library to and external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run them from there. Be sure to try the libraries on the EHD before you delete them from the boot drive.
This should easily free up the 25 GB minimum needed for iDVD to create and burn video DVD efficiently.
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.

Gaps in audio when burning on dvds and cd

When I burn a dvd and add audio, I have gaps in the playback on the audio only.

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

Converting HD to SD to burn a DVD with iDVD

Hello,
I bought myself an HD-camera with a Hard Disk (Sony HDR-XR500E). The native format is AVCHD.
When I transfer the video to my iMac (Intel Core Duo 2,16GHz) I can see the video in my Final Cut Express where the video is transcoded in Apple Intermediate Codec AIC format.
The editing works fine. The pictures are sharp and there are no visible artefacts.
I can export the timeline to Quicktime Movie, and the result is a rather big .mov file.
When I playback this file it appears automatically in a FCExpress window, and I have no problem playing the file.
When I use that .mov file to create a DVD with iDVD the there is a problem. When there is amore than a little bit of movement in the picture, the vertical transitions become distorted (jagged). It looks like I see an interlaced picture where both frames are displaced a little bit. This effect is very good visible when I stop the movie playing.
I see the same effect when I playback the same .mov file in the Quicktime player.
What am I doing wrong?
I see no place where I can manipulate settings in iDVD or Quicktime.
It is strange that I don’t see this problem when I export my timeline using Quicktime Conversion to create a file for the internet (eg Broadband high).
Who can give me a hint?
Thx

Hello Tom,
Sorry for the late reply but the last few days I had other things to my mind.
In the meantime I realise why I was confused, … and you gave me the understanding or the missing link to understand what was happening.
My original problem was burning a HD project I made in FCE on a DVD in SD.
I thought that:
1. FCE made an export in a HD format, … and this is right.
2. iDVD could only accept a movie file in SD, … and this was wrong.
That’s why I was looking for a method to convert my HD-movie in an SD-movie to feed iDVD.
So my problem is solved.
Bringing a HD movie from FCE to iDVD is very simple: It’s the same as bringing a SD movie to iDVD. iDVD recognizes an HD movie, and does the conversion to SD automatically. So my problem is solved. I produced a DVD starting from my HD movie and it looks as good as the movies I made in the past with my old DV-camera.
It’s a pity I couldn’t find the workflow, to turn a HD movie made by FCE into a SD movie on a DVD using iDVD, in the documentation of FCE or iDVD.
Why was I confused?
When I was looking at the playback in the canvas window I saw rather good pictures (no artefacts).
When I was looking at the exported movie with my QT player I saw a lot of interlacing artefacts. That’s why I thought there was something wrong with the coding of the exported video, … but it wasn’t.
Your explanation about looking at the canvas window in 100%, and the fact that viewing at any other than 100% was showing a reduced resolution (with interpolation, using only one field) made me understanding the problem.
I did a few tests to verify my thinking. In FCE I used de-interlacing on the video. In the canvas I saw a rather good picture nearly the same as the original (without de-interlacing). When I exported that de-interlaced video and viewed this file in QuickTime, the artefacts were gone.
So, my conclusion is: Don’t use QuickTime to control an exported movie from FCE, because QT is using an interpolating scheme with both fields. The result is absolutely bad especially when there are fast moving objects in the movie.
Tom, thanks again for your help.
I was just wondering what kind of education you have in video, because you seems to know what you are talking about.

Scan lines appear when making a dvd with idvd

Edited footage in FCE...exported to quick time, everything looks fantastic...made a dvd with idvd, and final product shows scan lines, or jagged lines...does anyone know what caused this?

I'm seeing the same thing in some photos but not all and not in video clips...

Missing Audio When Burning A DVD For Grandma

I've created a short 8 minute video with an audio track on top of it. The 8 minutes consists of a 2 minute video opening created in quicktime. 4 minute slide show imported from iPhoto and 2 minutes of closing credits created in iMovie. The 8 minute soundtrack was created in garage band using several iTunes tracks. (I'M TRYING TO BE ALL APPLE!!)
Everything looks great when I preview in iDVD. However, when I burn the dvd the audio drops out about 3 minutes into the video and then starts up again at the very end (out of synch of course).
I've tried everything I can think of - created an image in iDVD and burned using disc utilities , swapped out the audio tracks, changed the photos...still nothing works.
Any suggestions?? We have a first birthday coming up and we really want to get this to Grandma. Thanks.

Hi
Can be audio from iTunes or strange file formats eg .mp3 etc.
iTunes - Copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff
Other audio formats - convert to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
Use this and it most probably works.

Out of sync audio when trying to capture from digital 8 camera to quicktime, please help

Just trying to capture hi 8 tapes using a sony digital 8 dcr-trv355e pal into quicktime;
great clear video but audio becomes out of sync like a bad kungfu movie,
contacted apple they tried to help, but they dont really understand issue
there are lots of people out there that are trying to digitise old analog video;
I have fcpx and imovie they both play the old video via the digital 8 camera but cannot capture;
that is why using quicktime; thanks!!

Yes i think its something to do ith the fact its a wmv file, when i use mpeg footage it exports fine.
basically, no matter how long the video, the video is out of sync...its weird
i've decided the best thing to do is leave quicktime and export using windows media instead, that seems to give me a better looking picture witha small file size anyway
thanks for your help though!

Trouble encoding audio when burning to dvd

I have finished editing a nearly 2-hour long wedding video and all is going well, everything encodes fine until....it comes to my audio. I have now tried to burn this movie 7 times to dvd and EVERY time it freezes when it reaches the stage of encoding the audio. Any tips?
Message was edited by: Bri

Hello, trouble,
Welcome to the discussions. Sorry you are having so much trouble burning your DVD. What exactly do you see when you think it is freezing? Does it just look as if nothing is happening? Do you actually get a message that says there is a problem with the burn?
If you are using any version of iDVD prior to iDVD 8, I suspect that your audio is encoding fine and not really 'freezing'. It will LOOK as if everything has stopped, because the those versions did not include a 'time remaining' notice. You can see a small thumbnail of the menus encoding, and you can see the video of your movie as the video encodes, but when audio encoding is occurring, there is only a black square. Depending on your computer system, the process can take some time. I recommend that you just leave it alone, maybe overnight, and see if it is fine in the morning. On my older iMac, a nearly 2hr movie might take over 12 hours to finish encoding/burning.
I do recommend that do a 'save as disk image' for every iDVD project.
If you are not familiar with this process, it is the creation of a file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. The encoding looks the same as it is occurring, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several reasons to do this: It can save you from wasting disks if there is something wrong that prevents a successful burn; you can view your disk image on your computer using the application DVD Player to view your project and see if it is ok; you can use the disk image for burning disks through Disk Utility (or Toast); and you can control the burn speed--should be 4x or less.
And, you now have a self-contained image file that you can save and from which you can burn disks in the future. Because it is self-contained, you can safely delete your iMovie and iDVD projects, thus saving drive space. Even though you can burn another DVD using one that you already have burned, the disk image file is a better backup. DVD disks can crack, break, melt, etc. and if you lose your copy, you will not be able to burn another.

AVCHD to Blu-ray yields out-of-sync audio when not using TS

I have a need (won't go into too many details) to render my AVCHD project as separate M4V and WAV files; I can't have the output be multiplexed as a TS. However, the audio is horribly out-of-sync unless I output as a TS. For example, if I load up a timeline with ~40min of clips from my Sony HDR-CX12 AVCHD camcorder and render as Blu-ray H.264 1920x1080i, non-multiplexed, with PCM audio, the resultant WAV file is a full four seconds shorter than the M4V file! Ouch!! I'm guessing each AVCHD clip has just slightly less audio than video, and that it just adds up in the end, but why can't Premiere accomodate this? Is there a way to have it introduce delay at each cut? Obviously, the packetizing/multiplexing process for a TS accounts for this, but again, I can't use a TS; I need a WAV file that's in step with the video.
I also tried rendering a TS (which plays fine and doesn't have sync issues) and then demuxing with xport.exe, but this leads to the same problem.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Aaron

> Could this be a DF versus NDF issue?
Hmmm... every setting and Properties window shows 29.97... anything else I should look for?
> use a Time Stretching effect
I'll keep that in my back pocket for now. Doesn't seem like I should have to go to that length, however, but... Assuming the error in the source is relatively constant per AVCHD clip (maybe not a valid assumption, but seems reasonable), then the stretch effect would result in audio that was more or less out-of-sync depending on the density of cuts on the timeline.
Is it possible to create an audio-only TS using Premiere? Something that preserves the timing information? Seems not, but maybe there is. When I uncheck "Export Video", the option to create a TS seems to disappear :-(
Cheers,
Aaron

When Burning a DVD from IDVD it does not encode Video

I am having trouble burning a DVD that will not freeze. All of them come out and are read by DVD players of all kinds, but it gets about 3 minutes into the video, and it freezes. I saved as Image to Disk, and it went through the Burning process flawlessly and played through in its entire contents, but then when I tried to burn it to a DVD, it made the menus fine, but when it came to encoding the video, it skipped that part and went straight to encoding audio and it did not work. It came out with just a little video on there, but it did not use the same process as the Save Disc to Image did. When I saved Disc to Image it played through the whole project in kind of a slow motion. The Burning to a DVD did not do that at all.
Please HELP!

I do not have 20gb free on my start up drive. I will once I delete the bulk of the project. How can I save the project to make sure that when I delete the big project, the parts that I have edited and want to not get deleted?
As for my Imovie, It is a 22 minute long home video that does include 5 chapter markers, including the one that starts the movie from the begining. There is music for every clip from my itunes. The theme i chose is the first one listed on the list. It starts in from the right side, and then scrolls across at the top. All of the menus work fine when i play my burned DVD. In fact, everything works fine except for that one part when it freezes up.
I do not understand what you mean by adding my movie to a drop zone and not to the background. The way i started it on Idvd was by clicking, create an Idvd from the menu on imovie.
I made a new step of progress and i got the encoding of the video, but it still did not work. It froze at 3:03 instead of 3:27, 3:38, or any of the others. This is the second disk i have made though that will play on my Powerbook. It freezes on everything else though.

Sound problems with film made in iMovie when burned to DVD in iDVD

PLEASE HELP!!!
I have upgraded to iLife 09 and for all the bad that people have to say, I actually like it a lot. Anyway, it gave me the encouragement I needed to play with some old home movies I had stored with the aim of producing DVDs to give to my friends, and hopefully showing off the slick production values I have come up with.
So after spending a week getting to grips with iMovie and editing an old holiday film with all the cuts, transitions, chapter markers and music etc that I wanted, I ended up with an hour long movie that I was happy with.
Then to iDVD. After trying out all sorts of ways to go from iMovie to iDVD to ensure the best quality, I have finally given up trying to replicate the on screen quality of the movie in iMovie with the finished DVD, and just opted for the easy to use 'share to iDVD' option. The quality is not great, but then the footage is old anyway so not too much of an issue.
Then I spend another few days playing with and learning iDVD and again end up with a finished product that I am happy with, with nice looking menu's and a slideshow etc.
So I come to burn the final DVD, for which I pick the 'Professional burn' option which takes 4 hours but I am happy to wait if it means the best quality possible, and my DVD is done.
I then play the DVD to discover my problem - the sound in the movie is not right. To explain further, in my movie I have reduced the sound of some of the film clips to nothing and placed music over the top. When played and previewed in iMovie it works fine - the music plays and the sound that is attached the the video does not. When previewed in iDVD it works fine - just as I had edited it in iMovie. But then when I burn the DVD, some of these sounds are present again which completely wastes all my hard work at the editing stage.
I have searched and searched for help on this but am unable to find any.
Sorry for the very long description and story behind my issue, but it is massively frustrating. Basically, at some point during the 'burn to DVD' stage in iDVD it decides to completely ignore most of the sound edits I have made on the movie in iMovie.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks. Looking at that thread it looks like there are a few others having the same issue as me. Might be to do with not using the predetermined rates for clip slowdown and inputting my own.
The frustrating thing is that I have only done this once right at the start of my hour long movie and if I change it now it with though the timing of my whole film out.
Not much else I can do though I suppose.

Error #-34506 when burning a DVD from iDVD 5.0.1

Hi everybody,
Everytime I try to burn a a finished iDVD project (a big QuickTime movie), I get a message : "There were errors while multiplexing and burning", error#-34506. In reality the project wasn´t burned, the DVD is empty. When I burn a short slideshow - no problems. I tried different manufacturers of DVD-Rs to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. I am running a brand new iMac G5 2ghz with 10.4.2 and iDVD 5.01 and QT 7.03. I have tried it by importing my DV and MOV files into iDVD. Same failure with differnt media, even skipping one clip that I thought might be problematic.
Have further tried it with different compression settings in preferences... high quality vs. high performance. Same error.
Imported movies into iMovie and tried to run iDVD from there.... everything crashed. After a reboot, tried it again, and this time at least got a description of the error... something to the effect of "there was burning error but the disk has been untouched and can be reused, please try again..."
Am no trying to reimport clips into imovie, and export as one movie in both DV and MOV formats, to try it again..
Apple help couldnt even find the error number much less offer any other help..
IDEAS??
