Playback speeds up intermittently on first scene when played after build

Hi
I have a problem with playback on apple dvd player after completing the build? When I play the authored project on apple dvd player after the build, after clicking on the play button in the main menu, the first scene (about 1 min. long) playback speeds up intermittently-normal speed then fast for a second then normal then fast-jumpy I guess might describe it. This only happens on the first scene with all the other scenes after this point in the timeline playing fine. I placed 2 new clips (different assets-scenes) to replace the first scene & the same issue happens with different asset clips being used in the same position (first) in the track timeline.
The scenes I used are pans of a running deer, which play fine anywhere else in the track timeline except the first position. When I play the project it's fine in simulator mode & in the project itself...this only happens after the build when playing on apple dvd player from VIDEO_TS folder. This is a test project for some footage so it's only 10 minutes long with bit rates at 5-6 ave. & 6-7.4 max.
-2 pass VBR-best motion.
Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm using DVDSP 2 with Jaguar 10.2.8.
Thanks for any help.

Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!

ITunes skips the first milliseconds when played from the beginning..

I have created some songs from my DAW that I wish to playback in iTunes.
But it seems skips the first milliseconds when played from the beginning.. Probably the first 100 milliseconds.
It plays correct in Quicktime Player.
Anybody suggestions?

Sorry, if you restored your iPhone from a backup of your iPod then your iPhone will end up looking just like what was on your iPod. Everything else will be deleted and, if you have no other backup, it is just gone.
The restore function is not incremental. It does not add or merge content. It simply replaces every thing on the restored device with what is in the backup.

Titles get cut off when playing after the burn

The title created in the movie are too wide and get cut off when playing it in a DVD player into a TV. Is there a setting I should use before burning?
Any help is appreciated.

You should turn on the TV Safe Area and make sure that everything that you care about is within this area. Anything outside the area is subject to the over-scan of TV sets.

Video freezes when playing after ipod updating

My 60GB ipod video freezes up after a few minutes of playing video. It was operating fine until I installed the latest IPOD updater software "2006-01-10". I have tried reseting the ipod, but it makes no difference. When the freeze occurs, I found that returning back to the main menu is the only way to get the video to return to playing. Otherwise, I tried fast forward and it sometimes plays, but without sound.
This is a new IPOD, so I can return it today for a full refund from the apple store.
Any ideas?

playing video.
The only way to fix it is to go back to the previous updater. You'll lose everything on your iPod but you can sync again afterwards.
1) Uninstall the 1.1 updater from your computer.
2) Install the 1.0 updater onto your computer. It's on the CD that came with your iPod.
3) Plug in your iPod.
4) Run the 1.0 updater.
5) Select 'restore'.
6) Follow instructions.
7) Resync with iTunes.
Good luck.

Movies stall or hang up when playing on DVD player

I've used both IDVD 5 and iDVD 6 but the problem continues. DVD's tend to "hang up" or "stick" at multiple scenes when playing on a DVD player. The same problem occurs on all sorts of DVD player of family and friends. This issue does not happen when playing the DVD on a computer. The movies are created in iMovie and the sent to iDVD with Themes added and then burned. I've tried disc immaages vs a burn - same result.
Any ideas what is causing this problem and how to overcome?

My iMac G5 is 2 months old, so probably not an issue. I am currently using Memorex 16X DVD's, but get the stall, hang up and freeze problem when playing on DVD players. This is not an issue playing back on computers. I started making movies on a Dell a year ago using Microsoft Movie Maker and experienced the same problem. Totally different systems, different applications...but the same issue.
All sorts of makes DVD players both in the U.S. and England and Canada have problems playing my DVDs.
I have tried saving as a disc image and the burning, but not a solution.
Is Toast better than using Apple's iDVD or disk utility to burn DVD's. Is there any way to control burn speed? Does Toast allow different burn speeds? Should I use 16X DVD's or 8X or whatever?

MPEG 2 is not an editing codec.
Convert that into Prores as well.
i'm not sure what my sequence settings are, where can i find them, what should they be?
With the timeline active select Command 0 (zero), or menu: Sequence > Settings.
Tell us the settings.

I just made a music video on final cut pro x. My first scene looks fine when i watch while editing but once i export it to anything the first scene begins to jump like it is hung up! ive tried everything and dont know how to fix it! Help please

Did you try tapping on the downloads tab in iTunes? If it will not let you navigate anywhere else in the app, quit and the app and then go back.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close iTunes by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the iTunes icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Tap the Home button and then launch iTunes again and see if you can go to the downloads tab.

Does Itunes 8 fix playback speed issue when downloading

Does the new Itunes 8 fix the slow playback speed issues whenever you are downloading music or a podcast within Itunes?

For the record, the reported issue seems to have been solved.

Playback is intermittent from my iPad when going through the stereo

This happens even when I directly connect to the receiver (Denon 1713) via USB port. It does not happen when playing music through the iPad speaker, and it does not happen when playing other audio, such as streaming netflix or Pandora. It is definitely an issue of communication between the iPad and the receiver. Any thoughts?

From pp. 78-79 of the iPad User Manual:

QT7 Playback Speed

The audio playback speed setting in QT7 is a manual slider. I have been unable to discover either a keyboard shortcut or a menu setting that would allow one to precisely set the playback speed/pitch of an audio file (e.g. decrease speed by 10%). I have also noted that pitch changes cause stuttering in mp3 fiiles. This is critical because I am using QT/ iTunes for dance teaching and like to slow down the music at first. I used to do this with a variable speed cassette deck but was hoping to do it with QT. Would QT7 Pro help here?
Thanks for any secret keyboard shortcuts or advice.

The additional audio controls appear when you are playing music and tap the now playing screen.
The additional audiobook and podcast controls when you are playing _an audiobook or podcast_ and tap the now playing screen.
In either case, tapping the screen while the additional controls are showing will hide them.

Saving playback speed?

Hi, I'm using Quicktime Pro and i noticed that you can change the playback speed in the A/V controls, however I can't seem to find a way to save it like this? I have a video I want to speed up and save that way. I first did this in iMovie HD, but when I saved it, the quality was noticeably worse than the original, so I was hoping maybe there is a way to do this in Quicktime.

Basically there are two strategies here -- 1) rescaling the player duration in QT Pro or 2) re-scaling the time reference in an application like the JES Deinterlacer (free).
1) In the first method, simply create a new QT player having content whose duration is a fraction (less than 1X length for fast motion) or a multiple (greater than 1X the length for slow motion), copy/paste the original content to the new player using the "scale" option, delete the track used to reset scaling, and save the modified file.
2) In the second, you simply rescale the timing reference scale for the movie playback and re-save the file under a new name.
Since no re-compression of the video track is performed, the original video quality is not changed as such.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?: When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

Thanks Erik,
If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
As an aside....
I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...) were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

My computer has been crashing when i am using firefox. I was watchung a new video first, then when i was trying to update my flash player like support suggested

It started the first time when I had Firefox. I would be watch an online video and the picture would stop and the sound would become a buzz or a slow buzz and the sound trying to play. It became more and more. I chanced to chrome for a while. I wanted to try out fox again but it started all over again. It also happen when it looked up possible fixes and tried to update my flash player like suggested. It got to the point where it was downloading and the computer crashed. the only thing I can do every time is do a hard boot and start my computer all over again.
I don't think I ever had to do that with chrome. Help me, I really do like Firefox a lot but I am going to have to go back to chrome. Also, another thing that is happening is my firewall program is popping up more with a TCP warning.

Video playback speeds up automatically?

Hi all,
I have a number of short cartoons for my cousins on my iPod nano (7th gen), but the longest video is giving me some trouble. It starts off fine, but about 10 minutes in, it starts to play as if it was on fast forward. Is there some kind of length limit to the video playback for the nano? This particular file is 26 minutes long, while all the other files that play normally are under 8 minutes in length. Does anyone have any ideas where I can start to troubleshoot?
Thanks!

Playback speeded up

I have an iTouch. I imported a cd with meditations on it into my computer. They all play just fine. I created a playlist on my iTouch, and put them into it. When I play the playlist on my iTouch - 3 of the 4 are in fast mode...I deleted the playlist, and tried it again - same thing happened... Any suggestions on how to fix. The iTouch is up to date, as is the iTunes on my computer....

Go to the play screen with the three fast content. On the right and slightly below the scrubber bar is there a ox with 1/2X, 1X or 2X? Those are the playback speeds that appear with podcasts and audio books. To change the playback speed, tap the box to cycle through the speeds.
