Quicktime TOAST VIDEO CD export, mpg files, audio sync out

I used the TOAST VIDEO CD option from my FINAL CUT PRO 3.0 version to make mpg videos to upload to my website, so it seems to be the easiest format where a PC platform and MAC platform can both run this file...
well lately, i can't remember what i've changed, if anything, but the files that I export, become out of (audio) sync when they become mpgs. However, I can do mp4 and its fine, or any other format. But when I do video toast cd (.mpg), and I play the file on the laptop, its audio is out of sync. I am running QT 7.0.1 downgraded from 7.0.4, that i was using earlier... with Final Cut Pro 3.0, and running Mac OSX 10.3.9
please someone help me with this, its driving me nutso!
please

It sounds (no pun intended) like a Toast problem.
QuickTime doesn't export to MPEG-1 or 2 formats and it isn't involved with the conversion. Maybe you can find an answer in a Toast user forum (if any).
I've never had any issues using the steps you use but my conversions were from original QT formats (not .avi) and the files were under 5 minutes.

Problems importing iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5 - Audio sync out

Hi there,
I am currently experiencing problems trying to import iPhone 4 video into After Effects CS5.
Firstly i'd like to note that the video plays perfectly fine on the iPhone, VLC and in Quicktime Player. The audio and video is in sync.
When I add the footage to After Effects the video becomes slightly out of sync with the audio. I have noticed this in RAM preview and also in renders I did just to test.
I also want to note that, both my iPhone and After Effects have latest software updates.
Thanks for your help

Thanks Rick and Mylenium
Thanks that worked!
I thought that changing the frame rate in the composition settings would have worked.
Instead what I should have done is to go the the footage in the Project Panel then right-click on the footage > Interpret Footage > Main... then Conform to frame rate: Frame rate: 23.986607 (or whatever more accurate frame rate your footage actually is)
I used the more accurate frame rate reading from VLC which went to 5 decimal places. I got that info from the top menu in Tools > Codec Information
Its a shame AE doesn't pick up on the more accurate fps. It seems that all the videos from my iPhone 4 have slightly different frame rates and I guess I will have to interpret each clip properly.
I hear that the frame rate on the iPhone 4 is different depending on the lighting? I wonder why that would be the case?
Hope this helps anybody else that might face this problem.
Cheers

How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in elements 11 ?

How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in Premier Elements 11 ?
The source files are VOB files, and there is no problem with those source files. But after creating the mpg file, the audio can be out of sync by 1 second or even 10 seconds, and sometimes zero seconds (ie perfectly OK). That varies. The variation might be linked to some of the VOB files. ie. some are OK, and some are not.
Can I fix this automatically in Elements 11, or am I doing something wrong ?

Hartwood,
First, Premiere (both Pro and Elements) do not handle MPEG Audio perfectly - they like some files, but not all files with MPEG Audio. That makes a VOB a less-than-perfect source file. Still, with a bit of work, one should be able to edit it just fine. One of the factors is that there is a very slight block-size difference between the Encoded Video Stream and the Encode Audio Stream in a muxed MPEG-2 file. That often does not play into things, but can cause slight OOS (Out of Sync) issues. Also, both Premieres need to create all I-Frame files for the Video Stream, which is in GOP (Group of Pictures) structure, so what one sees on the Timeline is really a proxy of the MPEG-2 file's Video Stream. The Audio Stream must also be Conformed to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 32-bit floating point, to be edited. That Conforming is perfect when one has PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit for the Audio Stream, but requires more work, when the Audio Stream is MPEG (one reason that some MP3's do not work well in Premiere). Several factors involved here, and a fair amount of work for the program. That is why DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio works so perfectly.
Now, fixing OOS might be easy, or might require a bit more work. This article goes into some workflows, that might be helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0
I can feel your pain, as I almost went crazy trying to fix OOS in a client's Project. They ONLY had the finished DVD, from which to work. The disc met the DVD-standards, so everything ripped/Imported fine, and when the simple edits were done (IIRC, there were four scenes, that had to be shortened, and then several Titles added), everything played fine in the Timeline. However, when I Transcoded that Timeline to be authored in Adobe Encore, two scenes went OOS. I went back to Premiere, and checked - all perfect there. I tried to judge the number of Frames that the Audio was out, in those scenes, and nudged them, tested, nudged, tested, and no matter what I did, I could never get the output files perfect, when Imported into Encore for authoring to DVD-Video. I tried DV-AVI, and letting Encore set the Transcoding automatically (usually a great way to work), I tried manually setting the Transcoding in Encore. I tried outputting to MPEG-2 from Premiere, and Importing that. No matter what I did, those two scenes were just OOS, and I could not even seem to improve them - it was like they were just locked OOS. I finally did some more editing, to break things up a bit, added a cut-away shot here, and there, and minimized the perceived OOS, but could never get it perfect. It was like trying to pick up quicksilver with a pair of tweezers!
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere pro will only exports 2 files Audio and Video

Hi i'm jared i have a serious problem premiere pro is exporting 2 file an audio and a video file I've tried to use multiplexing and it wouldn't work please help.

Yes that is correct: video files (mp4). They are not separate.
Just export and see what you got.
Start with a small segment of your timeline.

Quicktime SANYO Xacti MP4 movie file Audio Sync Bug..

Hello. I am awkward in English.
Quicktime SANYO Xacti MP4 movie file..
Audio Codec AAC, Sound Sync Bug
audio and video files they are not in sync.
KMPlayer Problem without Play..
Thank you for any help you can provide..

Open the movie in the QuickTime Player and Select Export -> Sound to AIFF.
Drop the exported AIFF file into iTunes.
Make sure the iTunes CD Import Settings in Prefs is set to the MP3 encoder.
Right-Click on the AIFF file in the iTunes Library display and select Create MP3 Version.

PLEASE HELP! Quicktime Pro with iMovie and .MPG Files

Hello. Please help me. I'm on a G5. 10.5.3. iMovie 7.1.2 (577) I have a series of .MPG files that I need to import into iMovie to edit, arrange and then export over to iDVD, etc. iMovie does not see the .MPG files. The Apple site states that iMovie sees only MPEG-4 files and DV files. I also own Quicktime Pro 7.5 (149.5). When I open the .MPG file in Quicktime Pro, even though the file plays perfectly, when I select "Export to MPEG-4" so I can create a readable file by iMovie, I get an error message that say's "Failed: Export process terminated unexpectedly (10). Complete frustration. Is there another way I can convert these files so iMovie can see them? What's wrong with my Quicktime Pro? I bought DivX Pro last night. I thought maybe that program would make an iMovie readable file. No luck. I used DivX to convert and it created a DivX file with NO SOUND. Wasted money.
If anyone has any solutions for my problems noted here or possible alternatives so I can achieve what I'm trying to do successfully, PLEASE ADVISE as soon as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and THANKS, in advance, for your help.

You'll get a ton of ideas from others so, by no means, don't think that mine will solve your issue. I, personally have fallen in love with [StreamClip|http://www.squared5.com>. It does a ton of stuff.
As for your Error 10, hopefully that's just an "out of space" (on your drive) error and not an I/O error (a problem with the drive reading/writing)
But, you said you have Quicktime Pro and you're going to iMovie so I'd try to make your .MPG files a DV Stream...I think that's what I movie likes.
Anyway try that,
Tom

Aperture crashes upon trying to play video. Exporting .AVI file wont play.

Hi,
I uploaded my holiday pictures and 4 videos into Aperture and when I try to play the videos I get pretty bad beachball with no playback of the video. When I export the file I am presented with a SAM_xxx.AVI file. (SAM from Samsung camera). I have tried to play the file with Quicktime, VLC & MPlayer X. I ran the 4 files through DivFix++ and I am given the error, "Input file is not .avi"
Any thoughts as to whats going on? Aperture shows a thumbnail for the videos and VLC shows correct length but no playback.
Thanks

I have both an iPad and iPhone connected to my Mac. I disconnected both, then restarted my Mac and Safari. No improvement. Used Lion Recovery System to reload Lion. Interesting thing, Safari 5.1.7 was installed rather than Safari 6. This made me happy, as Safari 6 has been nothing but trouble for me. When I opened Safari, it took me back to apple.com, even though my homepage is yahoo.com. I was immediately confronted with the infamous Steve Jobs video, that has crashed my computer every time it's popped up on my screen. This time, however, it didn't crash ... I just got the spinning beachball for about 30 seconds, then the Quicktime thermometer at the bottom started moving and I was sure it was going to work. After the thermomter passed about one-fourth of the way over, the screen blanked and the Quicktime thermometer started all over again. This behavior persisted until I got tired of it and went to my home page. However, I can open Quicktime and watch videos again, even the YouTube ones that were crashing every time. Now I just have to figure out how to never let a Software Update stick me with Safari 6 ever again. If it does, I'm simply through with it and will make Firefox my default browser. Thank you so much for getting me this far. I will keep monitoring these discussions to see if Apple ever gets Safari 6 to the point that I'll give it another trial.

Rendering while editing vs while exporting mpg file?

If I render my project while editing it (before exporting it), does it reduce the render time that occurs while I am exporting my final movie to mpg file?
To me, it seems like the two rendering steps are unrelated. So for simple projects - with no special effects - it seems it would be faster to NOT render the timeline while editing, but simply export the move. Is this right? Or am I missing the point?
[I'm still using PE v2 - it does what I need]

Well, yes and no.
It will make a difference to a point, since the program must digest and assimilate everything you put into it as DV-AVIs before it can output anything. (Even if you're putting in MPEGs and getting MPEGs out, it still becomes a DV-AVI while it's in the program.) So, by manually rendering, you can speed that process significantly.
But the program will still need to encode the MPEG you're outputting once the DV-AVI rendering is done.

Exporting to HD - audio is out of sync

Hi
(I'm using Elements 4 and Vista.)
I've completed my video and all looks great on preview and in timeline - however, when I export to the HD (whether it's windows media or mpeg etc) the audio is out of sync? It seems to be in slightly different places too...
(I have rendered etc).
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Z

It's most likely related to your source video. This is especially common with video captured by a program other than Premiere Elements.
What type of video files are you using as your source -- what kind of camcorder did they come from and how did you get them into your computer?

Premiere 6.5 mpg-import audio-sync problem

I use a Sony Cybershot digital still camera (DSC-P41/P43) for my films (it's all I have currently). Before I bought a 2 GB memory stick, according to the manual it recorded in mpeg-1 in "standard" resolution only (imports as ".mpg"). With the 2 GB stick, however, it now films mpeg-1 in "FINE" resolution also.
I was using WMovieMaker just fine for "standard", but after beginning to use "fine," WMM began to crash with only 1-2 minutes in the timeline, and took forever to load projects and mpg files.
So I permanently switched to using Premiere 6.5, since, although it seemed to be too heavy of an editor for my PC (with Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 and an AMD-k7 processor, 698MHz, 640 MB RAM), I discovered it actually handles the files without crashing.
HOWEVER, after rendering to avi, the AUDIO IS +/- 15 FRAMES AHEAD of the video. I've tried reading through all the forums, adjusting all settings to match, etc., to no avail. Any suggestions?
2--Although I don't do any direct captures in Premiere because my camera's so simple and I just copy its files to a folder in Windows, then import to Premiere, there's a serious problem with my capture settings windows, settings viewer, etc.
Every time I click on the Premiere capture settings box, the program crashes completely, to the point of having to reboot the pc. I just can't understand this ...
Any words of wisdom are most welcome.
Thanks in advance for taking time to read this.
Don

Don,
OOS issues are common with MPEG-1 & 2 files in Premiere.
Now, it's usually a constant OOS, and not a "drift," in that once you fix it, it does not change later in the Duration of the file. That is good news.
Please hang with me, as I do not know Pr6.5, so some of this might have to be interpolated.
First thing that I'd do would be to add 02 sec. of Black Video to the Head of the Clip. I'll tell you why in a moment. Now, turn Snap off. Look for something in your Video, that will have a sound to go with it. A CU of a speaker is ideal. A slate/clapper is even better, but you likely do not have that. Once you have found your "sync point," zoom in on the Timeline quite a bit and Alt-click on the Audio Clip and slide it in the direction that you "think" will improve the sync. Test. Slide again. Test. Repeat, until you have it nailed down. Once you have sync, you should be good to go. Note exactly how many frames you nudged the Audio. Repeat with other Clips and start with that amount of nudge.
The reason for the 02 sec. of Black Video at the Head is so that if you have to nudge the Audio to the left, you want a bit of room. Once done, the Black Video can be removed. If you did nudge to the left, you will want to address the Audio portion there. Most likely, you can just trim it.
You can possibly get around the OOS problems, if you convert these files to DV-AVI Type II in a thrid party conversion program.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] I see that Eddie has posted the link to file conversion programs. Many in there are freeware, and most get very high marks. Those links will help you, if you choose the conversion route and that is a better workflow in most instances.

Jittery HD Video in CS4 After Updates - Audio Sync Before Updates

I just got a new laptop, an Asus G73JW. I loaded up my Adobe Production Premium CS4 suite, opened a project in HDV 1080i setting, but the audio was out of sync. I checked it in WMP and it appeared fine. I did the Adobe updates and the audio sync issue was fixed, unfortunately, the video is now jittery and looks horrible. I would much rather have audio sync issues, as least I can fix that, even if tedious.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit OS and all updates are done in both Win 7 and Adobe. I captured the HDV in HDV Split and they are .m2t files.
Any ideas what the jittery video issues are? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Aaron

Well this is ebarassing, but it works fine now after a reboot. I just had the OS reinstalled after corruption issues in the original install. I forgot to turn Windows auto update off this time and I didn't realize that Windows was updating in the background as I was working. It is turned off now, and I went through my settings more carefully.
I am editing HD with my new laptop now with no isues and it works great.
Sorry for he false alarm, and thank you for the help Bill.

Codec : icod
I generally defer to folks like QuickTimeKirk on these sorts of matters, but I think that's the source of the problem. That's the Apple Intermediate Codec, an editing codec used on Macs:

... and it won't display on a PC:
