Quicktime Pro audio synchronization problem when recording

My hardware is an Intel Based Macbook Pro with the latest Quicktime Pro S/W.
I have just upgraded to Quicktime Pro and I am trying to record video from a DV source (Canon camera acting in AV in/DV out mode). The problem I am experiencing is that the video and audio are out of sync by around 1 second, th sound seems to be in advance of the video.
Are there any setting which will affect this?
Has anyone been able to solve a similar problem?

I don't know what causes the problem, but I can give you a way to solve it:
Open your DV file with latest version 3.0 of SimpleMovieX and open the tools panel, go to Audio, and resynchronize it.
The do save, either as mov or reexport as dv format, depending on your workflow.

QuickTime Pro audio sync problems

Hi, when I edit my videos in QuickTime Pro, the more I cut sections out from a video, the more the audio is out of sync from the video as it progresses; so at the start it is fine and in sync, but at the end the video and audio is not in sync at all. The video is fine before I start editing with no sync problems, it's only when i cut parts out. How can I get around this problem?
Thanks

ok, I output a lot of footage using quicktime conversion so I can edit in after effects or output for the web. I usually use the animation or h264 codec but the problem still persists regardless of which codec I use. < </div>
If the relationship between the tracks does not change over the length of the clip, that is, the audio doesn't drift more, your clip's tracks are actually in sync. One of the tracks, video or audio, has been set to start sooner or later than the other. I have no idea how that can happen, sorry, but I'm going to suggest the solution is going to be much less complicated than you might think: it's going to be a simple user error. We all have them.
It's a binary search, then, no way to shortcut it.
You try to find a good export and figure out what's different between a good one and a bad one.
Hope you get better advice on how to debug it.

What do you see instead of video, bobby? A green screen, pretty colors, something else?

LOGIC PRO - problem when recording guitar

Hi,
So I am having the following problem as I plug in my guitar in the interface (yamaha) and then into logic pro. I manage to record in the AUDIO track for some time, about a minute or so, and then I always hear a strange scratching sound and the guitar suddenly stops recording. I have tried it over and over and it always happens. I thought it was because the PHANTOM button on the interface was on, but even when I turn it off it still happens.
does anybody know what I am talking about and what is the solution to this problem?
thank you.

these things didn't work. I think that the problem also has to do with the interface on my guitar (not sure it's called that way. What I mean by it is the electronic little box ON THE GUITAR that works as a tuner and needs to be turned on when you are connected to a speaker), because that's what turns off as I am recording. so I am wondering, is there a way to record the guitar without having that little box thing turned on, by any chance? the yamaha is a AUDIOGRAM3
thanks!

Realtek HD audio problem when recording

Hello guys;
Been trying to do some recording for the first time since the OC was rebuilt. New specs as below.
(By the way, I couldn't get any sound at all until I reinstalled the UAA bus driver..., so it's thanks to this forum that I got sound in the first place!)
Anyway, the problem I now have is that basically the record level is way too high. I use Steinberg Clean 5.0 and was finding that although I could change the levels in the software, whatever level I recorded at I was suffering extreme amounts of clipping/distortion. (I should mention that the input is from a good quality hifi, I used it for many years for recording with my previous PC incarnation using my KT6 delta rig).
After much trial and error, I found that the only way to stop this is to have the recording sound level in volume set to - well it isn't numbered - it would be about 10%. I also discovered that although master recording level is adjustable the others - CD, mic, line, mix are greyed out.
The master level is really difficult to set (as I write I just discovered it's still distorting and I'll have to edged it down another couple of % towards zero), so I really want to change the "line" record level, but as I said it's greyed out.
In Realtek sound manager it's similar, in the record section there's an overall level control but no individual adjustments for record, only playback.
Incidentally playback works just fine!
Realtek drivers are latest 5.10.0.5928 downloaded yesterday from Realtek.
Anyone got any ideas please?

I think the audio out must be fine as it works just fine for general listening to CDs, LPs (!!), whatever played from the hifi. No distortion even with volume level (in "volume control") set at 100% It's only the record level that's weird :-)
I'll try the headfone thing later, just trying to record something now!
Sorry, I'm not sure if this will help, as I haven't used Realtek HD audio for some time (always used add-in cards). But in my experience, most sound controllers have an option in mixer to select the recording source (e.g. Mic In, Line In, S/PDIF-In, Wave, CD, etc). In particular, many offer a recording source option for "What you hear" or "Stereo Mix". Essentially, this would combine and capture the audio from every available source, rather than from just a single source. I'm guessing it's a long shot but maybe you could change your recording source to this "mix" type (hopefully, something similar is available). To reduce noise you'll probably want to MUTE other sources (Wave, MIDI, CD, etc.), though you could leave them enabled as well (try to avoid things that would inject noise).
I'm only suggesting this approach because you mention that the playback from your hifi is completely fine. Only recording from line-in is distorted. So perhaps, you can work around the problem by recording the mixed playback. It shouldn't make any sense for this to be happening but maybe you'll be lucky?? My (worst-case) thought is that maybe your realtek HD's ADC is damaged and therefore playback is flawless but recording is flawed...
Another thought I had is mixer settings are often stored within an ini file. If you or someone else could identify the file(s), then you should be able to view, and in turn, modify the numeric playback and recording levels. That should aide you in adjusting the levels more precisely, rather than guessing levels via the obscure gui sliders.
It may turn out that none of my ideas are helpful, but I wish you good luck all the same.

Problem when recording from the AUX phono output using creative x-fi elite

Hello everyone?Hopefully someone will be able to help me out here, as I've tried everything, however nothing seems to work. I am using the x-fi elite pro on a windows vista ultimate PC. When recording analogue material, from a tape Dec, for instance, I am using the creative audio console which accompanies the x-fi elite pro. I am using the aux phono input on the back of the box, and everything has gone smoothly until a few days ago. When trying to record from my tape Dec this last week, I suddenly noticed that the sound was very distauted in the left channel. Right channel was fine.Of course the first thing I checked was the level, and this was absolutely fine too, both channels were set to around 50% in the sound-options control-panel. I then checked the cable and then tried it on other equipment as well, and everything was also fine here. I then re-connected it to the audio consul, but got the same results. Fine sounding audio in the right channel, but distauted in the left. I then tryed re-installing the newest vista-driver to see if this would solve my problem, however it didn't. Now I've only got audio in the right channel, but no audio at all in the left. Has somebody inhere experienced anything simurlar, and if yes, can you please tell me what could be wrong??All the best from Allan

On certain mobo/graphics card set ups and some sound cards there is an issue with bus latency. In short while playing back audio you will hear a frequent crackling of the audio. That is not the same as the slight click the Elite pro makes when changing modes. It has been a Creative issue for many years but is only present with certain combinations of hardware. I have experienced that issue myself but several years ago. My current Elite Pro/PC set up does not have this issue.

QuickTime Pro audio exporting error - help please!

So I've got Perian installed to read 1080p HD movies and I opened up .mkv files in QuickTime Pro and allowed it to read the files into memory (let the grey bar go for a few minutes). Once that was done, I wanted to export the DTS 5.1 surround sound audio track to .AIF format and do a pass through encoding of the video only. After this, I use MAX to convert the .AIF file into an AC3 file which I add back into the video only to create the final .mp4 file with 5.1 sound. I've done this successfully before and I prefer this method to downconverting the 5.1 audio into stereo sound when converting the .mkv to .mp4. This time however, QuickTime Pro miserably failed. I have Avatar in 1080p and The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1080p as well and I wanted to convert them to .mp4 the same way I've done before. All of them failed with the same error. When I tried to export the audio, I believe it said, "qtKiterrorcatchall (-1309)" and it failed. It said this for all of the videos and strangely enough, it worked great with another .mkv movie I had perfectly with audio and video tracks in the same formats. Does anyone know how I can fix this and export the audio track so I can preserve the surround sound and put it back into the .mp4 video file? Many thanks...

I'm having the same problem. Were you able to get an response or and answer to this problem? Thanks

Sample rate/quicktime pro audio/video

Hi all:
Have a few questions related to Quicktime pro on mac related to sample rate of audio and video...any help understanding much appreciated...
I am a music composer using logic pro and recently started working with filmakers who send me quicktime files of the video to score to...
regarding sample rate of audio as played back in quicktime...I'm a bit confused....
When playing back either an MP3,wave,Aiff at 44.1k or 48k
seems that quicktime plays at the right speed and pitch of audio...Does Quicktime use it's own audio processor to convert sample rates in real time at playback?
When I play a video track with audio recorded at 44.1k or even an MP3...and playback on my soundcard set at 48k...it does play at correct pitch...even though theory of audio tells me that the sample rate is very inportant especially when playing back...sample rate needs to be the same on both the soundcard audio clock and the software...
Is this part of the magic of quicktime or am I missing something.
Even a bit more confused when I got a dialog file from a filmaker attached to his quicktime file that he thougnt was in 44.1k...was actually 48k...so when taken out of quicktime and put in another enviornment for editing that became really important and avident that the samplerate audio rules outside of quicktime applied...
Am I correct then in my understanding that when working only in the quicktime enviornment that the rules of audio sample rate do not apply?
Thanks for thoughts...
regards

All you may ever want to know about QT, audio and OS X:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Reference/CoreAudio/index.ht ml
QuickTime 7 is a major re-write and it now has many more options for audio. Multiple channel support (up to 24) and sample rates of double DV Stream settings.
Magic is how it works.

QuickTime Pro 7.1 hangs when trying to export a movie.

Hi There,
I just installed the Key for QuickTime Pro on my Win XP laptop. Now, whenever I try to export a movie, QT just hangs there, using 99% of the CPU. The buttons in the dialog box seems to be active (change appearance when I hover them) but clicling any of them (including OK or Cancel) does nothing. The only way out is to kill the QT task.
If I just click OK in the first export dialog, CPU usage jumps to 99% and hangs. If I select "Options" in the export dialog, the "options" dialog itself hangs and the CPU usage jumps to 99%.
I did not try all menu options but it looks like the hang and use 99% CPU is pretty general since I was attempting to do an "Update Existing Software..." From the help menu and QT hang there too. But I can open de preferences, set them and close them without problems though.
Looking in the Application even manager, this is the error reported:
"Hanging application QuickTimePlayer.exe, version 7.1.0.210, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000."
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
I purchased QT Pro today because I need to convert a sequence of files into a movie. Right now I cannot do that.

Why not try updating your QuickTime software?
Most current version is 7.4.1

Monitoring problem when recording

Greetings. I have a Presonus Firebox which I'm using in conjunction with a 2.0 GHz MacBook with 2 gigs memory and Logic Express. I've run into a problem when attempting to monitor an audio (mic) input. When recording a mono source, I can only hear my signal in one side of my headphones: left if recording into input 1, right if into input 2. This is, needless to say, very disorienting. I don't have the same problem when playing back the track. While I'm currently using Logic Express, I have the same problem using the Firebox in Garageband. I did not have the problem when using Sonar 6 under Bootcamp on the same machine. I've checked all of the settings in Logic and they seem perfectly normal (proper inputs and outputs selected, mono inputs panned center, etc.).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Trent

Hey Trent,
Since your channel strip is in Mono (logic) right?
open you Presonus FireBox Mixer, and zero the
pan (mic1) or Playback to Phones or
the Mix button to phones.
regards,
Jorge

Can anyone help with Quicktime Pro audio prob?

I've been trying to compress an audio/video file shot on my Cybershot so that I can upload on a contest website. Every time I copy into I-Movie, I have no audio (although it plays fine on my desktop). I was told I-Movie does not support muxed streaming. At Apple's recommendation, I upgraded to Quicktime Pro.
The audio and video both work fine when I play it in Quicktime Pro; but when I export it from Quicktime to either MPEG4 or Quicktime Movie, I get no audio. (Also, the audio setting area is grayed out.) Any suggestions? I need to send the file 320X240 around 15 mb by midnight tonight.
Thanks for the help...

Use the "Export to DV" option. (Any of the sub options will work.) Split into segments if needed for older versions of iMovie.

Audio tracks hissing when record enable is engaged

Hi guys. I am having a big problem with hissing when record enable is engaged. I've discovered that when I click off software monitoring the hiss goes. But then I cant add effects like reverb for singers who want to record with reverb whilst they're recording. It shouldn't be the case, but any enlightenment and I would be grateful. Thanks.

Audio sync lost when recording

I have another problem after the latest update (besides the applescript).
When recording a movie the sync between audio and picture is lost.
I use a canopus ADVC 110.
Using iMovie still maintains the video audio lock.
This update is just horrible, how could apple release this crap?
Henning

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
>1. Does the sync problem aggravates over time or does it remain constant from 3rd min to 30th min?
It aggrevated over time. You can't really notice it until around 3 minutes into the video. I watched it again and it looks like it the sync fluctuates slightly. Goes out of sync, gets back in sync (or nearly) and then goes out again. Listening on headphones I hear tiny, split second drops outs or glitches (related?).
>2. Did you observe the sync problem in the live stream also?
This time didn't even do a live stream. Had similar issue two weeks ago that was live stream and file save. Assumed the issue was due to network issues.
>3. Can you reduce the file split time to let's say 5 min and reproduce the problem again?
Will be trying this today or tomorrow.
>4. Which audio device are you using? Is the audio and video device coming from the same device?
It is from the same device (I think.) I am remotely troubleshooting for someone so I'm not 100%. It's a Polycom CX5000. The first one we have. We previously had a Microsoft Roundtable which is the same device. The device names come up differently though so that's why I'm not positive. The Video device is currently listed as Integrated Webcam (which must be correct as I'm getting the right picture). The audio though lists "Microphone Array (IDT High Def..." something.. That might be the laptop's built in microphone? If so, that might be the issue.
>5. If you have a different audio-video devices, please try with them and come back with the result.
Will let you know.
I'm hoping it is #4 as that would be an easy fix. I would find it hard to believe Adobe released a product that couldn't keep audio and video in sync, right?

Problem when recording the data using BDC for Tcode CJ02.

Dear Experts,
When i am trying to record the data for TCODE : CJ02 i need to enter the project Definition and enter the WBS element it takes me to the screen then i should select the WBS element and attach a file for that selected WBS element . The option for me to attach the attachment of file will be available on the application area(Services for the Object).
Now the problem when i try to do recording in SHDB this option like create attachement is not visible in the recodring . Kindly suggest me what can i do such that i attach the file for the particular project def and WBS element.
Either suggest any function module or other procedure .......
Regards,
Sana.

Hi,
in BDC each and every action is recording. If your press enter in same screen that also recorded once aging may be this is your case repeating field values will appear. we can solve the problem for repeat fields like below.
suppose in your excel having repeated field X1 X2 X3 the X2 contains repeated field X3 means delete the X3 field.
Now In your itab having X1 and X2 fields. While in the LOOP the ITAB pass the X2 field to repeated the fields.
LOOP at ITAB to WA.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = 'RM08M-EBELN'.
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." 1st time pass the X2 fields
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." pass the same value to repeated field
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
Endloop.
Hope you can understand.

Dhina..
