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!

  • No audio when files (recorded off of digital camera) were copied to iMovie

    I attempted to import video clips taken with my sure shot digital camera to iMovie. The video transfered just fine but there is no audio.
    I then uploaded all the video clips from the camera to iPhoto and when I opened those files thru iPhoto, quicktime plays the videos perfectly with audio.
    What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do so that these video files play audio when in iMovie?

    Hello 112969nole,
    the clips from your digital camera are likely to be in a muxed MPEG format. In order to edit them with iMovie you'll need to convert them to DV format.
    Find some more info in Dan Slagle's Unofficial iMovie FAQ:

  • My audio gets out of sync with my video after capturing from Sony XDCAM

    Everything was fine. I captured content from my Sony XDCAM, created pieces, no problem. Imported a .mov from my older FCP (5.1.4). FCP told me I needed to change my settings in order to use the .mov with my current timeline. I said OK, fine. Now, when I capture from my XDCAM some of the audio is in sync but it goes out fairly quickly. Any Ideas? I noticed in the bin the clips which are out of sync have a different data rate then the good ones. HELP!

  • 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

  • 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,

  • Can only get audio when trying to AirPlay from Dish app

    Since updating to IOS 6 I only get audio when air playing from my Dish Network app on my iPad.  I can get audio and video when mirroring; however the quality is horrible and it doesn't fill my screen.  I was able to get audio and video both before updating my iPad and Apple TV.  The recent updates have been a disaster!! 
    Apple TV and AirPlay were  great products before. I thought updates are supposed to make Apple products better....not worse. Please help if there is a solution

    Usually these types of limitations are added by the app developer, especially with media apps like these. However I would first try Resetting the devices. I found the best way to reset the iPad is to close all apps in the recently used app list. Double tap the Home button to reveal the list at the bottom then tap and hold one icon till they wiggle and display a minus button. Tap the to close all apps them press the Home button to get back to the home screen. Hold the Sleep button till "Slide to power off" appears. Once it has shut down completely press the Sleep button till you see the Apple icon.
    The procedure is similar to resarting your computer when it starts acting flaky. iPads are just a hand head computer and rarely gets shut down or reset so it would be similar to running your computer for months at a time without shutting it down.

  • I am getting ERROR -50 when trying to export my 3 minute video. PLEASE HELP!  I have 11G on hard drive, but comp seems to run slow on start up.... can I export or copy it in some other fashion?  Desperately need help.  THANK YOU!

    Oops, Looks like I said most of what I wanted to in my title. Sorry ppl, my first time here.
    So, my vid won't export.  And I need it soon.  I'm kind of in a panic.  First time I've had this problem.  The music from iTunes also aliases at times, but I can get it to play without that problem on occasion.  (What causes that?  That does happen with frequency, but then goes away at times.)
    BUT, is there ANY WAY TO EXPORT or move a copy of the video somewhere else?  (How, if so?) 
    And what does ERROR -50 mean?
    Also, please know I am fairly computer illiterate, so if one could speak in the simplest terms possible, I would really dig that.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
    FF

    Hi
    This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
    Error -50 = paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
    If so it Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
    Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
    • So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
    Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
    Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
    Yours Bengt W

  • Fatal Error when trying to download from new camera

    I have Elements 5.0 with Windows Vista HE.  I've added a new camera (Nikon Coolpix S630).  When I try to download from this camera via USB - first my Adobe Photo Downloader does not open as it does with my other 2 digital cameras when connecting, second - when I open the downloader and choose "get photos" it lists the new "S630" but then gives me a fatal error (c0000005) when I select "Get Photos".  What can I do to try to get this new camera to act like to other cameras for downloading?  (Right now I have to download into Windows Gallery - save to a folder - then open Elements to get photos from folder.)  Thanks for any help!

    You should be able to download the 5.0.2 update for running on Vista from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Windows  if you do not already have it installed.

    Look at the folder created by the download in to Windows gallery. What types of files are on the camera card ?

  • File Error - Unknown file when trying to import from HDD camera

    I recently purchased a Panasonic SDR-H80 and am trying to get my widescreen footage into FCP. I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake, and they play and look fine in the Finder. However, when I try to move them into FCP, I get a dialog that says "File Error - Unknown file." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Can anybody help?

    I converted the .MOD files to .m4v files in Handbrake .... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here
    What you're doing wrong is using Handbrake and trying to use .m4v files in FCP. Neither is the correct process in preparing for editing.
    Try using MPEG Streamclip and a format that actually works natively in FCP. .m4v is a final delivery format- not for editing. A search on this forum would have revealed that to you in a matter of seconds: http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c206&search=Go&q=handbrake

  • DNS Error when trying to connect xbox360 to WRT54G wireless network, Please help!!

    I recently purchased a new router (WRT54G Ver.6) and the initial setup went well. however, when I try to connect my xbox 360 to this network, the DNS does not resolve and it fails every time. what should I do?

    Hi…..
        Well in this case first make sure whether the computers which are connected [wired or wireless] to the router are able to get online.
    If the computers are not able to get online through the router then you will have to configure the router. And if the computers are able to get online then in order to resolve the DNS Error in order to get the X-Box360 working you can assign Static DNS Address to the X-Box
    The Static DNS Address you can use can be 206.13.29.12 and 206.13.30.12

  • Weird thing when trying to post to a forum... please help

    Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but as this happens mainly while typing in Safari maybe someone can help. Sometimes while typing a post I do some accidental combination of keys that erase all the text I've already typed. It happens with my iBook, my G5 and my MacPro as well, both in Tiger and Leopard, so probably doesn't have to do with the OS or with the equipment. Also it happens with different websites, so maybe there is a hidden shortcut that I don't know of.

    Unfortunately, things like this can happen when you try to use current software on a 6 year old product.
    The solution is exactly as the message states:
    You will need to use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update the firmware on the AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 can be installed on a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC. If you do not have access to one of these devices, you might be able to take the AirPort Extreme to an Apple Store to have them update the firmware for you.
    Once the firmware on the AirPort Extreme has been updated......then..... it will be possible to administer the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility 6.3.1.

  • Out of sync audio six channels

    Dear All,
    I have not had a problem with this before, but suddenly I have out-of-sync audio when mixing six channels in FCP. Using my Canon XL1-S, I recorded 4 channels of audio in 12 bit mode, 32 khz. I then added another two channels of audio from a separate Sony digital recorder into the FCP edit. First I set the sequence settings to 32khz and ran everything in 32 bit mode, converting all of the audio through Quicktime pro. The 4 channels from the Canon XL1-s are in perfect sync, but the two channels from the Sony digital are playing at a faster speed and are drifting as the movie progresses...the length is 1:25:00. I then went back and converted everything to 48khz and changed the Sequence settings accordingly, but the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels. What am I doing wrong and how can I bring all of the audio together? Thanks. I'm working with FCP 6.0.6 on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.6. Barbara Smits

    What is the format of these Sony files?
    . . . the Sony audio is still drifting and playing more slowly than the other two channels.
    Unless you are timecode locked between devices, it seems reasonable to me that there will be sync drift if the Sony external recorder is not locked to the video signal.
    You might try selecting the Sony audio clips on the timeline and adjusting the speed slightly, such as 101% and see if that gets you closer to sync.
    Hope this helps
