Problems with burned playlists audio format

I was doing fine, burning and burning without any issues. Not sure if something got updated to cause this. One day I'm playing an audio CD in my car that I burned from a playlist in i-tunes and it sounds like a "skip". then another. I pull the clean, brand new disc out and clean it off, go back it's still there. Same deal on other cd players also. Since that day I've burned about 15 discs from a couple of playlists and only 1 has been without these errors. There are usually about 10-12 per CD and they sound like a quick skip or dropout and they repeat if I go back in time on the song, they are there each time. The song data in i-tunes and on the ipod is perfect. I've tried a couple of brands of CD-R's. Same issue. I've tried with and without sound check. With and without other programs running. I've tried to update the burner driver but couldn't find an update. I've run a disc with many of these problems in "EAC" a bootleg burning freeware to see if they show up as errors, they do not. Here is what I'm running Itunes 6.0.4.2 driver 2.0.4.3 DLL 2.0.3.2
Confused. Thanks for any help.

Oh, and a couple more observations. The "burn disc" yellow/black wheel doesn't spin smoothly like I thought it did before, and the burn hangs up at the "burning disc - finishing" stage, I have to manually quit it. The disc plays, but with these little dropouts.
Thanks for any help!

Problem with Burning DVD/Audio

iMovie HD version 5.0.2. I have been editing movies and burning DVDs for more than a year and have not encountered this problem before. When I play my latest movie, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the music that I imported in only one of the audio tracks. However, when I try to burn a DVD, the video encoding proceeds as usual but the audio encoding stalls when it appears to be about 90% complete. I have produced movies that are 2 hours long and have not run into this problem. The current movie is a little over 1 hour long, so I don't think the length is a problem.
Background info: As in the past, the source of the movie I am editing is a DVD that Walmart converted from old video films. I CINEMATIZED the DVD which I have done in the past to be able to edit the movie. When I copied the WALMART version of the movie, I only imported/copied the video portion and NOT the audio.
I hope this explanation of my problem is detailed enough. I am not very technologically educated so I am limited in my ability to explain the details.

Hi
May be this applies.
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin:
1 Imported audio from iTunes:
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
Before burning the DVD:
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If OK:
• Make Your DVD - or -
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool - and at an as slow speed as possibly eg x1
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Problem with burning DVD's

I have Roxio Toast Titanium and I have a problem with burning DVD's. When I put a blank DVD-R in my superdrive, select the files and go to burn; the advanced recording options will not let me deselect the check in "close disk". It is shaded. But when I use a CD-RW I can and so far the Roxio help has...well has not been help at all. I mean why would I spend the money to buy a software package that lets me do the same thing as the basic OS-X disk utility would let me do? Drag a file, burn it and close the disk from any future use....
Sorry if this does not belong here, I did not see a area for general software questions way back in the main forum area not one here.
Rob

Donald,
Hi and thank you.
To give you more details on what I am trying to do; I am trying to burn in Mac & PC format. I am mainly trying to back up all my assorted college files (I am a college student), these files are lecture notes in Word with embedded audio recordings, standard Word documents such as essays, etc., spreadsheets, PDF documents, etc. The files I am attempting to burn should not be larger than 4.7 gb and Roxio has not given me a warning that it would be.
I am just frustrated that when I put in a DVD-R or -RW I only have one option, and that is to close out the disk when it is finished burning it. I have also gone to the recording tab, on the menue bar, to uncheck the "close disk" box after I put in a blank DVD and before I select files to burn. The option is shadded preventing me from even trying, which is not the case for a CD!
Thank you!

My sound is like echo and i can't solve the problem with realtek hd audio manager

HP G72 notebook
Windows 7 64 bit
Sound is like echo and can't solve problem with Realtek HD audio manager

It's a Qosmio X300-16M (windows 7 64bit)
I downloaded the last toshiba's sound driver (for win 7 64bit), but it's as if it doesn't contain MaxxAudio anymore... (but the file maxxaudio.dll is still in realtek directory)
It worked correctly after Windows 7 update, (that's why I tried to reinstall the audio drivers which were in the DVD... but it does not have resolved the problem.)
And all my system restore's points have been lost after a wrong bios update or something else (but this isn't a problem anymore)
Now, my computer works correctly, my only problem is that the MaxxAudio tab (from Waves Audio) in the realtek audio manager disappeared... (It just makes a better sound...)
And I just want to know if it's a curent problem or not... and if someone can fix it

Problem with burning audio CD's in iTunes 10.x.x

Just had a situation where I had to burn three sets of CD's, each with similar (but not exactly the same) audio tracks. I labeled the discs CD_01, CD_02 and CD_03. The files are recorded .mp3 music tracks. I was sure that each playlist I created for each CD in iTunes contained the correct cuts, though after they were burned as music CD's, the Mac Pro computer and iTunes seemed to get confused about which CD # and playlist was loaded. iTunes apparently did not burn the correct playlist that was selected.
I re-burned the discs and when I thought they were finally right, we tested the master discs on our car stereo, and we could see all the track information fine and that the CD disc numbers were correct. However, when we made duplicates of those master files, once again the computer and iTunes again appeared to be confused! The disc master that had been confirmed to be CD_02 was now coming up as CD_01!! And when I loaded the discs into a different computer with iTunes 11, none of the track information that was once visible could be seen! The disc was called "Audio CD" and each track was reduced to just a number. Now my fear is that I have sent out discs with all incorrect versions on them !
Has anyone else had issues similar to these when burning audio CD's?
Thanks!

I also seem to have problems burning with the new iTunes 7. I thought it was neat I could backup my whole collection and that worked fine. But just burning an audio CD seems to be a problem. I've successfully burned one and this was accomplished by deleting one song from the playlist. I'm not trying to burn multiple CD's from a long playlist.
iTunes.
1. Checks media Ok .
2. The message says it's initailizing the disk.
3. The first song starts to burn and it stays there showing NO progress. It never burns.
What I've tried also is lowering the burning speed, unchecking and rechecking boxes in the burning preferences (like including text). I've used different media.
Seems to be a bug.

Problems burning playlist (audio cd) - multiple cd's; 7.7.1.11

Hi,
I've been trying to burn playlists that have more than 1 CD worth of songs. I have encountered multiples issues:
1) Insert a blank cd and the burn hangs. Can't eject cd inside iTunes or from windows. A reboot is necessary. The cd is partially written and now unusable.
2) Multiple times, it will write 1 cd (or more) and then partially write a subsequent cd. One did 9 of 16 songs (inserting the cd, it appears that all 16 are written -- they show up from windows and in iTunes) -- the 10th song is skipped and all subsequent songs are as well. The cd then will not eject (see 1 above) at this point.
The CD drive works fine with Roxio (same batch of cd's) and is up to current firmware.
It's pretty frustrating to not be able to burn long playlists to multiple cds. I've wasted alot of time and CD's in trying to do this.
A side note -- I am doing this since Apple will not allow mp3 cd's to be made of m4p's bought in the itunes store. Our family has 6 ipods and I am trying to convert these to use in slideshows of pictures that I have -- which I prefer to have in mp3 format -- for personal use. It really is stupid to me to not be able to do this for things I have legally purchased and intend to use solely for personal use. Why won't Apple let their aac/m4p's be converted to mp3 (and saying it's to avoid piracy is silly -- yes, some people will do this, but a vast majority of people are honest -- well maybe not vast majority but a majority at any rate). It's frustrating -- and I dont' want to pay $30 to get a virtual cd to do this -- I already paid for the songs and don't want to pay to convert them.
thanks,
greg

+"It's pretty frustrating to not be able to burn long playlists to multiple cds. I've wasted alot of time and CD's in trying to do this."+
That feature of iTunes has always been buggy. Don't trust it. Break the playlist into individual playlists that will each fit on an audio CD.
+"Apple will not allow mp3 cd's to be made of m4p's bought in the itunes store. Our family has 6 ipods and I am trying to convert these to use in slideshows of pictures that I have -- which I prefer to have in mp3 format -- for personal use."+
Don't buy M4Ps. Downloadable songs in MP3 format are readily for sale at the *amazon.com MP3 Download Store* and other online stores. The Apple protected files are only for use in Apple products, and clearly that limitation does not suit your purpose, so don't shop there.

Problems with burning an ipod playlist

Every time I try to burn a playlist a window comes up halfway through and says: An error has occured: 4261. I don't know what this means but it is stopping me from burning playlists to CD. I am using Sony CD-R discs which I believe are the write discs to use. Before attempting to burn the playlist every song was ticked. The songs were from my own CDs as I have had no joy burning downloaded songs to disc either. Of the playlist that is made up from my own CDs, I made ten attempts to burn this playlist but to no avail. The only time it did burn the full playlist I took out the CD and put it into my CD player. But this was no good as every track was skipping and the CD had become scratched in the burning process. There is nothing wrong with my CD player as it does not do this to my other CDs and I have had no problems playing CDs on my computer. It's just that itunes won't let me burn to CD. Any help would be appreciated.

If the songs on the iPod aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back there in order to burn them to CD. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

Problems with burned DVD in iDVD - Works in some players, not in others

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with a DVD I burned in iDVD.
I have a disc image that I made in iDVD and then burn the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders to a DVD.
I burned to a Memorex DVD+R.
The video pops up fine and plays on my computer after it burns, but if I eject the disc and try to re-insert it, the DVD preview says "Supported disc not found". It did this same thing when I tried it in my Macbook.
It works fine in my standard DVD player, but I also tried it on my Playstation 3 and it did not play.
A few things I am going to try is buring directly from iDVD instead of first making a disc image, and also using DVD-R, although I heard that DVD+R is generally a better format to use.
Someone also told me that DVD+R does not play on macs, which I question.
If anyone has any other suggestions or might know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. It is an important project that needs to be done soon! Thanks.

The disc image option is within iDVD: File > Save as Disc Image. If you switch to DVD map map mode you can drag your movie to a spot prior to the menu so that the movie plays automatically when put into the player. Under advanced, you can set the movie to loop.... otherwise I think it goes back to the menu when done playing. BTW, all DVDs MUST have a menu it is part of the DVD specification. It is just a matter of whether you see the menu. As far as exporting your project back to tape... you won't loose any quality and your audio, along with your video and any editing to each will export back to tape. However, a MP3 is not generally considered a higher quality file (although perhaps the recorder was closer to the source?). As a matter of fact, if you are editing your audio I strongly suggest using a file sampled at at least 16-bit/48Khz, AIFF (or WAV or anything lossless).
In regards to the slow burn speed: I agree that a slower burn speed is better than the fastest burn speed (due to error corrections ect). However, I would choose a middle of the road burn speed. If my choices are 4x, 6x, or 8x, I would choose 6x. If it is 2x, 4x, 6x, I would choose 4x. And yes, quality of blank media can effect the playback of a disc that played once just fine.

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.
Don Wilson

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Having problems with burning - need help please!

when I try and burn a disk itunes says no recording
software found. Everytime I start up itunes it says the drivers associated with burning are missing. It ask me to
reinstall the software which I do and I have the same
problem. I have other burning software but cant burn any
itunes Ive purchased do to the format. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The german note is:
Achtung
Die Registrierungseinträge für die iTunes Treiber zum Import und Brennen von CDs und DVDs fehlen. Diese kann Folge der Installation einer anderen Software zum Brennen von CDs sein. Bitte installieren sie iTunes erneut.
Could anybody please help me??

I need more information about your hardware configuration. Run the iTunes Help menu -> Run CD Diagnostics... command and post the results here.
I'm assuming that you're not running 64-bit windows.
It sounds like the driver didn't get installed. You could try doing a repair install on iTunes --
Windows Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Add or Remove Programs
Select iTunes, Select Change/Remove button, Select "Repair" radio button, click OK.
If that doesn't work, you might try downloading just the CD drivers from :
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
Get the first link, not the second one that talks about gearsec compatibility.

I have a unique problem with my playlists. Can someone help?

The playback of the playlist is fine, as far as I know the music files are fine, but my problem is when I go back to listen to a playlist that I was listening to last, it skips backwards in the playlist.

optical is only going to give those speakers 5. on content that is encoded in dolby digital. That is pretty much limited to dvd's. You either have to use Dolby Digital Li've when converts everything to Dolby Digital or use the analog connections. If you are using a X-Fi you can buy or use a optical cable and buy the <a target="_self" rel="nofollow" href="http://buy.soundblaster.com/_creativelabsstore/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?page=product_detail&category=Software&pid=F 2222DDN6Z2H2ADDEZD">Dolby Digital Li've Pack. The analog way will cause you way less headaches. In the Playback tab of the Windows Vista sound panel there should only be 3 options there. ATI HDMI, Speakers, SPDIF. All the other connections you saw were in the Recording tab. If those are being detected it's most likely because the pins on the front bay aren't aligned correctly. If you installed the drivers from the website none of the other software is included with it and you have to download it seperately. You can still change modes with the Creative Audio Control Panel. That should be in the Creative listing in the programs menu. If you want to enable EAX you have to download and install Alchemy for games that use the Directsound3D engine. Games that use the OpenAL engine don't need it. Here is a <a target="_self" rel="nofollow" href="http://connect.creativelabs.com/alchemy/Lists/Games/AllItems.aspx">list of games[/url] that require alchemy to work.

Regular problem with video playback & audio video sync

So, I am regularly having two problems (I wonder whether they are connected) that I cannot solve and am hoping someone can tell me if I am out of luck or if I need to do something or add something.
For example, because it happened again today. These are details about the file stuff:
Type:AVI
Bit Rate:133kbps
Dimensions:624x352
Audio format: LameMP3
Frame rate: 23 frames/second
Data Rate: 1131 kbps
Video Sample Size: 12 bit
Video Compression: XVID
First Problem: If I play the file - I use Media Player Classic - it plays fine. Open it in Windows Media Player and it plays fine. Try to edit it in Premiere and the file loaded into Premiere is filled with what I believe are called audio video sync problems, so I have to constantly unlink audio and video and adjust it. It loads and does not need to conform.
I have the same problem on my laptop(Windows XP Home) and desktop (XP Pro), the desktop with twice the RAM. I have the K-lite Mega codec pack installed. I would call myself a beginner when it comes to video editing. I understand generally what codecs are but I am not capable to making any tweaks to the K-lite Mega codec pack (if I should have) so it is setup as installed.
Second Problem: The video in the playback box never plays back normally. I have tried adjusting the playback settings: have changed the aspect ratio between the software and harware option and adjusted between the three desktop display options. Occasionally it is "ok" but most of the time not and never just normal.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

I tried this already and then we had a blackout so going to try again and hope it goes through before a second one...lol
Hello:
Thank you Robert J. Johnston, the_wine_snob, Paul_LS and SteveGrisetti for your help so far.
So this is where I am at now:
Files all seem to be of the same type, so I will just say "the file" for the one I am working with right now.
Loaded file into VirtualDub. I like that program. Well done, whoever made it. Did some basic cutting of unwanted stuff. Saved as AVI. Saved both a Direct Stream Copy and a Full Processing Copy.
Opened the FP copy in Premiere Elements and it plays without audio sync problems that I can see. Have edited it some so far and still no problems.
Before I do any more editing work, I decided to save it (SHARE) in different formats to see what happens.
Goal: Looking for no audio sync problems. Best quality I can get with a 1GB file size limit.
Saved as DV-AVI: plays fine. no audio sync probelms. love the video quality. 2.95GB, so too big
Saved as Flash: Do not see any audio sync problems. Do NOT like the quality (flips back and forth between clear and all pixely (is that a word). 32 MG
Saved as Mpeg: Media Player won't play it (thought Media Player with KL Mega Codec played everything?) (It loads it but doesn't play?); Quicktime won't play it. Windows Media Player just did. Do not see any audio sync problems. Like the video quality. 631 MB.
Saved as Windows Media: Do not "think" there are any audio sync problems; if there are, they are very subtle. Not crazy about video quality. Better than flash video option though still flickers between two types of qaulity (if that makes sense) . 52MB
Any suggestions as to what I should do at this point to meet my stated goal. I assume [share]ing is what I should do? Is there any exporting or any other options I do not know about. Without your help I figure I will Share to MPEG? Not sure why Media Player won't play it and Windows Media Player will?
Any thoughts on the best choice for me? Thanks for your help.

Premiere Pro CC Problem With PNG MOV Quicktime Format

A While Back, i posted a problem with Premiere Pro CC that it would not open MOV with a PNG Type Format. the Error was always "There is No video or Audio Stream".
Frustrated, i reverted back to Premiere Pro CS6 in which the files opened fine. i had Forgotten an effect i used in PRO CC so went pack in and surprisingly the files opened. I finished my Project and moved on until Last night, when editing, the same thing happened in Premiere Pro CC, it wouldnt impoort the PNG Format MOV files i have for traqnsitions (Rampant Media Color transistions) Curious, i again opened PPRO CS6, and low and Behold, when i re-opened PPRO CC, the files were read properly.
So there appears to be some form of Bug in PPRO CC on a windows 7 64 bit Ultimate? i can reproduce this over and over againj. i am just throwing this out there incase this happens to anyone else. hope this helps, i hope Adobe Premiere Pro CC Engineers see this and can fix this bug. thanks, have a happy too da looo, i shall blow you a fanfare!

Please submit a bug report, complete with a sample file, or at least attach a sample clip here.
