Please help with audio problems, thanks!

Hi, I'm relatively new to DVD studio Pro and so far the manual has been useful but i've run into some sound related problems. I'm a composer/sound designer and this DVD is to be my reel so these are fairly integral issues to its success.
First, I want to add a sound effect to each of the roll over states, so one sound for the "over" and one sound for the "down" state. Currently i can only add audio as the backing track for each menu.
Second, whilst most of the items on the dvd are movies that include my music, I also want to have a page purely of audio tracks which play when pressed without changing the page. How can i do this? The only DVD i've seen this done on is "The Thin Red Line" extras, promoting the soundtrack to the film.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum/discussions CC!
Sorry to have to inform you, but unfortunately layered menus aren't supporterd with audio in DVDSP, and technically what you're attempting is a layered menu-type function - although it just may be possible with scripts, I doubt it.
Your second request can be done however and there's several ways to go about doing it.
I like DVD@ccess but others would recommend a method of simply placing the audio files in the built file of the DVD making them accessible to users.
Another method I could suggest is to make a menu page exactly like the one you want to look the same and have the song you'd like to play as the music track for that duplicated-menu in question - set the target of the link for the song in the menu to go to the menu that has that song as the music track. Repeat that for the number of songs you'd like to have this feature.

  • Please help with slideshow problems!

    Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing.  Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened".  How can I save a
    slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow?  I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
    have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not.  Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
    question?  I am trying to add audio to slideshow.  I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
    message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message.  What type of file do I need and how can I add
    multiple songs to one slideshow.   I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
    it fills slide show. 
    Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

    Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
    You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
    Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
    You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
    If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
    -- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
    -- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
    -- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
    It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing.  Save each Project with a unique name.
    After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
    Note:  you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :

    2-Open lqn.model.
    There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
    The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.

  • PLEASE HELP with Audio for YouTube!

    Hi,
    I KNOW YouTube is not the best for quality, but I absolutely HAVE TO post a couple of videos there!
    So.... having used Standard footage & the regular preset for DV-shot footage, does anyone KNOW which Encoding conversion to use (and I assume bitrate selection as well) that will allow me to post them on YouTube and actually hear something which even resembles the professionally Mastered recordings I am using.  So far I have tried WMV, h264 & a few others with various bitrates and most all of them sound horrible once YT converts them.  I was fine with the WMV video but the audio is way to disgusting to even listen to (especially compared to what the audio actually really is).  I have read some posts here suggesting FLV, WMV, etc, & I am truly at a loss and in major need of help here.  I have read Eddie's article link, & still the audio once YT does "it's thing" is ridiculous!
    The audio sounds great (good enough) on my computer after Encoder does its thing, but if anyone has encountered this and has the answer....PLEASE - what conversion & WHAT BITRATE should I use to make YT NOT ruin my recordings (and sound good on there)?!?!
    I even considered importing an already converted AAC or mp3 audio file into Pro, & then exporting it via Media Encoder but don't even think that's possible (or necessary).
    Please help as I HAVE to post it on YT yesterday already!
    As always, thank you for you help!!

    I never really had problems with sound quality on youtube...but I just use stereo pcm/wav mostly in editor. I think you should post what your using in your project and what you are exporting it as...cause its too vague to really give much specific advice re: helping you. also, say whether you have any sound codec packs or anything loaded...anything other than the original program codecs...and say what version of the product you are using...premiere pro what ??

  • Please help with AcroIEHelper problem

    Hello,
    I had perfectly running laptop. Now, with no reason every time I turn on my laptop I get a messege that Windows Installer is preparing to install something. Then Installer asks me to insert a disc with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. When I insert the disc installer tells me that it can not access a file. Exactly:
    Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional
    Error 1304: Error writing to file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll.
    Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I checked that directory and did not find such file. Sometimes, this messege appears when I try to open C: or folders on my Desktop but not always. Once it showed up when I tryed to start IE. Ater I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat this messege stopped showing up. But when I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat it started again.
    I have tryed almost every anti-malware I could find - McAfee, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, Superantispyware, AVG 8.5, Dr. Web - all these programms I ran in both normal and safe modes. I even went to BIOS Setup and returned to factory settings. Nothing helped. I went to malware forum and people did not find any malware in my logs.
    Then, I installed WinPatrol that seems to be able managing startup programs. After I desabled SC-Acrobat.exe and Adobe Gamma Loader I do not have this annoying Windows Installer for Adobe Acrobat warning any more when Windows starts. But it still shows up often, but not always when I open C: or folders on my Desktop. I have Windows Vista Home.
    So could you please help me with this problem? Thank you.

  • Please help with audio and video not syncing.

    I'm using Encore 3, and have already authored a DVD a month ago without a glitch. The following are the same steps I used, but this time around, the video and audio in Encore are not syncing.
    Here's what I've done.
    1) I export my Final Cut projects to .mov using the following settings (Share > Master File).
    Format: Video and Audio
    Video codec: H.264
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Audio file format: Quicktime Movie (AAC)
    Include chapter markers: Unchecked
    Roles as: Quicktime Movie
    2) I run the .mov file in Compressor using the "Disc Burning" preset.
    3) I then import the .ac3 and .m2v files that Compressor created into Encore.
    4) In Encore, I select both files and go to New > Timeline.
    In the Timeline window, the durations on both are the same. But I don't understand why the audio and video are not synced when I preview or when I burn a test DVD. The audio comes in just a tad late.
    Video Clip:
    Source In: 00;00;00;00
    Duration: 00;02;33;29
    In-Point: 00;00;00;00
    Out-Point: 00;02;33;29
    Audio Clip:
    Source In: 00;00;00;00
    Duration: 00;02;34;00
    In-Point: 00;00;00;00
    Out-Point: 00;02;34;00
    What's puzzling is that two of the 10 videos I've import to Encore are synced perfectly -- same export settings from FCP, same settings Compressor.
    Please help.
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Hi Mark.
    Do you have any situations where there is more than one video file in a timeline?
    Secondly - why are you using H264 HD files for a DVD? This is using lossy compression to make the H264, which is in turn then scaled & even further bitrate reduced for M2V.
    I would give it a try rendering an SD video file for use in Encore - not the H264 - and starting out with Dolby Digital or LPCM audio, not AAC.
    As with all DVD authoring programs, Encore works best with DVD compliant assets - which you are most definitely using - but I still think you are over-complicating things by using H264/AAC at all.
    Eliminating this may help.

I already exchanged the phone and had the battery replaced (third battery) I used my 8830 with the same applications and the most it would be by like 50-70 percent.  I dont know what to do. The curve is SUPPOSED TO  get better battery life! but actually is not. Its become a non realiable phone for me. Its still under my 30 days. Even though i already swaped it once. I do not want to get rid if this phone. I love the blackberry i just need the battery to last me either the same or better than the 8830 as blackberry promised....

  • Please help with some problems with my N96

    Hi there,
    I have spent a fair bit of money on my Nokia N96 and unfortunately it is out of its warranty etc.And I have few issues with it.
    So can anyone advise me as to how about I can overcome some issues:
    Firstly, in my message inbox only the numbers display instead of the names (e.g.. +447770260.. Instead of Peter), has anyone had this issue or can help with this? I have gone into the message setting and nothing sticks out and says click me for number or name to be displayed.
    Secondly, the vibrating device doesn't seem to work at all some days and other days it seems fine? Is this a common fault or is it my phone. Also, is there anywhere on the phone to adjust the vibrating force which maybe getting in the way?
    Many thanks for any advise or for merely looking, and grateful for any help.

    read the above thread in regards to the contacts issue. it is a common issue for the s60 phones no fix as yet and it has been few years now.
    there is no way you can adjust the vibration force. its either on or off. the vibration should work at all times if you have it set to work. it should not be random. you might want to take it to nokia care for them to have a look at it despite the fact that it is out of warranty.

  • Please help with publishing problem

    hey everyone, ok heres my problem, I am running leopard, latest version of everything, and I created a multi page website, nothing special. I am a MobileMe member and everything is functional there, but when I go to publish in iWeb, it creates all the pages, and then gives me this error message: "publish error: an unknown error occured". I have tried publishing on different networks, and plugged into ethernet, no dice. It publishes to a folder just fine, and I cant think of why this is happening, so any help would be awesome, thanks in advance!

    Look around, this has been discussed in other threads. The standard suggestions are to install the latest iWeb update and to do a Publish all to MobileMe.
