Problems with sound sync for HDV import (MPEG file)

I've imported a one hour tape from my Sony HDR-HC3 (HDV import), and within a few minutes the sound and video get out of sync when I play it. I have elements v4 and also tried version 8 (trial) which was better but still a second out of sync vs 4-5 seconds for v4. The imported files for both versions both play perfectly in Windows Media player with no sync problems.
I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with 4GB ram and a 4 core AMD processor which isn't struggling. In searching the web I've seen some old workaround solutions for similar problems which involved deinstalling quicktime, installing streamclip and a quicktime alternative and then converting the files imported by Elements. I am hoping there is a more straightforward solution within Elements which avoids having to go through this workaround.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks for the pointer Neale. I tried converting the file with Streamclip (quite slow - about 1/3 play speed) and noticed there were some errors reported near the beginning. I reimported the HDV into Premiere Elements 4 but this time in a number of smaller sections. I think it may have been related to those errors because when I cut to a later section the sound was in back in sync where it previously had been out of sync. This seems to have solved it for me. If I get some time to have a play with the converting solution I'll post the results back here, but for now I can catch up with the video editing which has fallen behind a bit.
Thanks again.

Problems with sound only on video not audio files

Hello
My first post here. I am having some problems with sound on video files. It is almost no sound, and the sound that is there is only crackling noise. I have the Creative X-treme audio soundcard and have installed the Vista codec pack and the K-lite codec pack. I have also updated the soundcard driver. The thing is that these problems only occure on video files, not on audio files such as mp3's. Can anyone help me?

About alsa dmix, and for the record:
On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, the following are my finding about
quality/cpu when mixing two streams at 44khz:
a snippet from my .asoundrc
#converter "samplerate_best" # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
#converter "samplerate_medium" # almost perfect: 6%cpu
#converter "samplerate" # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
#converter "samplerate_linear" # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
#converter "samplerate_order" # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler
Here is the reference topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942724
I may be wrong, but in an opensource world (code reusing), i really doubt pulseaudio could lead to better quality/cpuuse tradeoff.
Pulseaudio, being just another layer atop of alsa, could only lead to higher cpu usage.

Help with Premiere Pro freezing after importing MPEG files

I have
had some files sent for me to edit which are MPEG I believe. They will import, but
as soon as I try and do anything with it, the whole thing freezes for several minutes! It is unworkable. I have tried waitin
g for the audio file to conform. I have tried rendering the work area. None of this helps. If it does play, it lasts for a few seco
nds with sound playing at what appears to be twice the speed! I normally wortk with DV files and these are fine. By the way, the files I am struggling with do play in media player/real player etc. I cant believe that premiere would not support this format. Even Movie Maker just about manages it! When it does freeze, it really freezes! As in it wont even let me shut down without literally ripping out the power cable!! Please help with simple English if possible, and sorry if I havent given you specifics that you would need. But I honmestly dont know as these were just files sent to me on a memory stick. It was filming from a camcorder, but not sure what type. The thumbnail says MPEG and the properties just says movie file. It is about 2GB for an hour I think. Thanks for any help. My version is Premier Pro 1.5

Genuinely sorry that I dont know all the technical things that people need
to know. I always try to find out when I am asked specifically and told how
to find them. I did look at the link, but that just seemed to be a lot of
stuff about posting ettiquette, nothing about MPEGS. Perhaps I got the link
wrong. All a bit hard for me as I have a visual imp[airment. Thanks again

ITunes 7.71 problem with cover art for 24 bit AIFF files

I am unable to add cover art to 24 bit AIFF files. Was able to do this with iTunes 7.7.

I think I have discovered the same problem (no solution, unfortunately, though) working with some shared files from GarageBand, which I believe are 24 bit AIFF at this point. I will have to check when I get back to the computer with my stuff on it, but at least I don't think I'm going crazy when I tried to save.
I could put artwork into the "info" area, and it would stay there so long as the track was playing, but once the track re-played, the artwork was gone. I have even synched my iPod and iPhone, and the artwork has shown there, but I have to try synching when the track is NOT playing to see if it is only capturing the artwork while it's on the file. But, I thought that was weird as well.
I will keep coming back here until hopefully a solution is posted. Here. Or somewhere. Any similar experiences, please also post. I feel better knowing others are experiencing the same or differing but similar difficulties.

I still have a warranty but it will be out in a week. i previously have a sound distortion problem with my mac for months and suddenly it just fix itself. what should i do? i'm worried that it will comeback and i dont have a warranty anymore.

JoBautista,
you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.

HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals. We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time. Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while. We have tried everything we could think of with no avail. I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same. Done trying we need to fix this! Help! Any ideas?

First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

Try A and B
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

[SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

Hello good society of Arch
Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
Thanks

Problem with sound in games requiring quicktime

I recently purchased CSI 1. I installed the game and the latest version of quicktime player. As soon as the game starts and the first character starts talking the game pauses as if loading and then plays for a second and pauses again for a few seconds. This intermittent sound problem makes it impossible to play the game as the freezing stops everything from functioning. I tried another game that requires quicktime to be installed and that game is pausing the same. Has anyone else had this problem? I have all the latest drivers installed for Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you get any problems with sound in other (older) games? You didn't mention which drivers in particular you updated, but make sure the graphics card's ones are included.

Problem with sound in games

Hi all welcome as you can see I'm new to your forum. So I have a problem as it concerns the sound in games.
Namely, I bought a Creative Headset HS-800 Fatality everything good in listening to music, etc.
But when I go to the game, I turned the sound (someone shoots to the left I hear him right, and vice versa.)
Yes, in all games but mostly it is felt such a battlefiel or call of duty.
At first I thought that this is the fault of my sound card but it's not because I was in a mate and in him was the same ... This recently replaced the computer and the same thing.
I came across the net to reverse the channels, but unfortunately I do not know how to set it up.
Here, the data on my computer:
Sound Card Speakers (Realtek High Definitie
Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (Realtek
Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (RCA) (Re
Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
I would add that in tests Realtek win7 and everything is fine.
Regards and please help as soon as possible.

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

Problem with sound after update

Hello
After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

Hello!
My problem is summed up in this topic.
Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
I hope for a sollution soon.
Thank you.
*edit*
Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Name: Shockwave Flash
Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
Version: 11,3,300,257
3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
I hope this helps.

Problems with mobileme syncing ...

Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data. Despite me overriding it. I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want. Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received. Its doing my head in! Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud! Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi Chhayank,
the problem is not the exported xls. If you have a look inside with Notepad or something like that, you will see that your leading zeros are exported correct.Excel-settings occurs this problem, it is all about how to open the document. If you use the import-assistant you will have no problems because there are options available how to handle the different columns.
Another solution might be to get familiar with ABAP2XLS-Project. I got in my mind, that there is a method implemented, that will help you solving this problem. But that is not a five minute job
