S-Video and Audio Question

Hello, last night I hooked up my Powerbook to my tv using an S-Video cable. The video looked great and crystal clear, but I had no audio except for my laptop speakers. Is there a way to have audio come out from the tv? Is it a tv setting, a powerbook setting, or is s-video not made for this? Thanks for your time!

Hello, Patrick.
S-Video connections only carry video information. They do not carry any sound information whatsoever.
To have your TV play back the sound, you must attach the headphone jack on your PowerBook to your TV's Audio Inputs. You can buy a "Y-connector" from your local electronics store (Radio Shack, WalMart, K-Mart, Sears, etc.) to attach a (male) Mini Stereo Headphone jack to (male) RCA Left and Right plugs. It should cost about $6.00. Your TV must have audio inputs for this to work, however, so verify that you have appropriate inputs before investing the money.
Alternatively, if you have an audio amplifier attached to your home theater, you should attach the audio cables to an input on your amplifier. (There are certain situations that would require different wiring, but they are less common and probably won't apply.)
In the absence of such a connection, the video is sent along the S-Video cable, but the Mac "sees" no audio connection, so it plays the audio through its own speakers.
Hope this helps!

Video and audio transmission from MacBook to TV

Since I really get mixed up with various posts about connecting MacBooks to a TV set I would love to get simple answers to the following questions:
How can I connect my MacBook to a TV so that I have video and audio rendering? My MacBook has a mini-DVi output, my TV set has VGA, HDMI, and audio inputs. Since to my knowledge HDI carries no audio signals I suspect that I need an extra audio connection. Is this true?

depending on your macbook model you may need a "converter", meritline.com/mini-hdmi-to-cvbs-converter-adapter---p-83103.aspx?source=fghdac& gclid=CO7J9NSU67QCFWGnPAodRBsAAw similar to this. Use a mini DVI to HDMI apple adaptor. if you have RGB connectors on your tv you want http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?seq=1&format=2&p_id=8125&CAWELAID= 1329456201&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CKW25beg67QCFaGPPAodRHAAfg

Getting Ripped DVD Video and Audio Into Encore

Do you have previously authored DVDs that need rework? Do you want to add menus with greater impact and functionality? Do you want to add some additional program or supplemental material? Does a client want their product demo DVD to be updated to reflect the capabilities of the new and improved version, but the source files no longer exist? Using Adobe Encore DVD and a freeware utility called DVD Decrypter (DVDD), you can accomplish this quickly and easily.
Disclaimer: I do not support the illegal copying and/or distribution of copyrighted works. The authors and distributors of the software I use have made it clear that they do not support illegal copying. This guide is intended solely to assist you in ripping and copying DVD video to which you have the legal rights. Any use of this guide to infringe the copyright of someone else’s intellectual property is prohibited.
This guide is based on Adobe Encore DVD 1.5.1 and DVD Decrypter version 3.5.4.0. Let’s Begin!
Place the DVD to be ripped in your DVD drive and launch DVDD. If you have more than one drive (e.g., a DVD-ROM and a DVD burner) make sure the one with the disc is selected in the Source dropdown list in the main program window. Now we need to set up DVDD to extract video in a way that is “Encore friendly”. This is the toughest part of the whole exercise. Click on the Tools menu item and choose “Settings…”.
Settings
General Tab: You can leave these set at their defaults if you like. Personally, I specify a custom Default Destination. I put my ripped video assets all in one place anyway, and having a default destination means I have one less thing to do when I rip a DVD.
IFO Mode Tab: Make sure that “Select Main Movie PGC” and “Enable Stream Processing” are checked. “Uncheck Suspect Cells” is probably a good default safety check. If your hard disks are formatted as NTFS, set File Splitting to “None”. I leave “Copy IFO File” checked with the default sub-items checked. Make sure that “Patch M2V Timecode” is unchecked. The items in the Create Additional Files section are purely optional. The author of DVDD has been kind enough to list which programs need which files; notice that Encore DVD isn’t listed as needing any of these extra files. I do keep the “Stream Information” box checked. DVDD generates very informative file names, but I like to keep “Include PGC Number” under File Names checked. Be advised you will get some lengthy file names after DVDD is finished ripping.
Stream Processing Tab: Since we enabled stream processing in the IFO Mode tab, we need to tell DVDD how to process those streams. To save yourself time and confusion later, check the “Convert PCM to WAV” box. Earlier versions of Encore required a Demuxed audio stream and a Raw video stream. Encore 1.5.1 can accept either type of video stream (Raw or Demuxed) but it does still require a Demuxed audio stream. However, I still recommend using Raw video and Demuxed audio, if only because it seems to be somewhat faster to process in DVDD. This workflow is also backward-compatible with earlier versions of Encore.
So let’s set up the Stream Processing tab now. In the Demux box, enter “0x8? 0xA? 0xC?”. This ensures that all audio streams in the selected PGC, whether AC3, PCM or MPEG will be set to Demux. In the Raw box, enter “0xE0”. This ensures that the video from the selected PGC will be set to Raw.
Additional Notes about the Stream Processing Tab:
1. For those of you asking the question, “What the heck is a PGC?” it’s just DVD-speak for the titles in a DVD project. And I’m not talking about the opening or end credits, either; I’m talking about the titles that result, for example, from the timelines you create in an Encore DVD project. There is a subtle difference between a PGC and a VTS (title set), but that's not important right now.
2. Happily, recent versions of DVDD create a WAV file after ripping that will import directly into Encore. Versions prior to 3.2.0.0 would create a WAV file that had to be imported to, and exported from, a sound editing program like Adobe Audition, Goldwave or SoundForge before Encore would recognize it.
Events Tab: For convenience sake, I recommend setting “Set Program Mode” in the Startup section to “IFO”. That way, whenever you launch DVDD, it will look familiar to you. You may safely ignore all of the other tabs in the Settings dialog.
Ripping
1.Under the Input Tab of the main program window, select the PGC you want to rip. You can only do one at a time.
2.Switch to the Stream Processing Tab. Verify that Enable Stream Processing is checked.
3.Check or uncheck any or all of the video and audio streams that are listed. Highlight each one to verify that all audio streams are set to Demux and the video stream is set to Raw.
4.If you didn’t select Default Destination in the General Settings Tab, then you need to tell DVDD where to put the ripped files now.
5.Click on the big DVD-to-Disk icon.
6.DVDD will announce, quite loudly, when it has finished. At that point you can rename the files or import them as is into Encore.
I hope you find this guide useful and that it helps you get the most out of your investment in Adobe Encore DVD.

OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

Fastest way to transfer video and audio from MacBook to TV?

Hello All,
Thanks for visiting my page. I would like to transfer video and audio from my Macbook mid-2010 (specs below), and would like to do so with minimum lag. I m aware Apple TV has a feature which allows me to do that, however considering it is connected via either wi-fi or bluetooth (not sure which) I feel streaming an HD movie or playing an MMO will cause significant lag and/or a distorted picture.
So with that said, what is the best way to transfer video and audio with minimal lag?
Also, as a part II of the question, will the picture be distorted regardless if my TV is 60 inches?
Thanks for the feed back!
Macbook Specs:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

The easiest and most reliable option is to connect your Mac to the TV wired. Just buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable to connect your MacBook to your TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241 Image and sound will appear on the TV automatically.
If the adapter and cable are OK, you won't get the picture distorted. Your Mac will try to use the maximum resolution the GPU allows in order to adapt the picture to your TV. It may not support the maximum resolution of the TV, but picture won't be distorted

How to align or sync video and audio?

In Premiere 13, once I have added a video/audio clip and then either slow down the clip or add photos in between the clip causes the video and audio to be out of sync. How does one re-align or re-sync the clip once it has been edited? Thanks

mrsndmn
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
There are several ways to avoid disturbing an existing Timeline when you are adding to it.
1. Using what are called keyboard modifiers, such as Ctrl or Alt (Windows).
2. Grouping block of clips so that the clips move together
The following video tutorial is offered for informational and not promotional reasons
Premiere Elements: Arranging clips on the Timeline using modifier keys | lynda.com - YouTube
It uses a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 13, but the principles involved are the same.
The video and audio that are going out of sync.... are they linked or grouped before the addition to the existing Timeline?
After the fact, you will need to move the Timeline components back in place.
If the video and audio are not linked or group, you can
(a) highlight the clip, hold down the Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 1 frame per tap nudge of the clip.
(b) highlight the clip, hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main
keyboard and tap the appropriate arrow key for a 5 frames per tap nudge of the clip.
Please review and consider. If questions or need clarification on the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Video and audio STILL Stopping after 2 seconds

I am running Premiere Pro CS3 for Mac. For some reason, regardless of whether I capture direct fromDV cam or import a video or audio file. Occasionally (3 out of 5 times) the video and audio stops after 2 seconds. I hit space bar and it does it again. Ay ideas why?
I am running this on a brand new Mac Pro too.
Thanks,

How to sychronise a streaming video and audio?

Hello everyody,
I created a player application which plays a streaming video together with a sound. In the beggining it starts ok and sychronised but later video goes slower than sound and as a result they are totally out of sych at the end. I believe the problem is that the video file is bigger than the sound file and it buffers more so the video always stays behind the sound. Is there any way to fix it and have my video and audio always sychronised? To have the sound embeded with the audio is not an option.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".

Working with Video and Audio...Please help (i am not a coder!)

Hey all. I am currently working on a project in Flash (CS3
action 2.0)
It is an animation and it includes a layer mask of a TV
screen, which shows a precut quicktime movie on the screen.
I am working with multiple scenes (11 to be exact) they are
all my different cut points.
The animation consists of 1st scene- VO (voice over) and BG
SFX. When I hit Apple+Enter this part plays sync'd up correctly.
However as the scenes progress on the sound gets out of whack.
Scene 2 consists of the quicktime movie (Video and Audio)
mask playing on the screen. All sound heard is a part of the .mov.
For this one the timing is also good.
Here is where it gets fluky. The next scene consists of a VO
and BG SFX. (and only those things) However, at this point of the
movie i hear the sound of the next .mov i have embedded in the file
(from scene 3). This is all happening well before that scene even
shows up in the preview.
I hope i explained it as clearly as possible. Anyone have any
ideas?! I would greatly appreciate it!
btw- i have set the frame rate to 29fps to match that of the
quicktime movies that are embedded.

Hi Brian, I don't mean to nit-pick but this is an
actionscript 3 forum, so you'd probably have better luck with the
general forum for non-AS3 questions.
There could be a couple of things that are causing a problem,
its hard to say without actually having your project on hand.
It almost sounds like your movie is taking longer to load, if
thats the case you could simply start the audio a little later in
the time line to sync it up.
I know you don't want coding solutions but you can probably
have flash "wait" for the movie to begin playing, and have that act
as the starting point for the audio.

FME Firewire Video and Audio Support(not from Camera)

I can't seem to find any definitive answer on weather FME can
support both video and audio from a single Firewire connection that
is coming from an analog to digital Firewire converter box. I want
to take the analog audio and video feed, convert it to a Firewire
feed (using a Canopus DV converter) and feed that into a laptop.
Seems like that should work and both audio/video would be
present...
That being said, I have found a few conflicting reports on
weather or not both the audio and video will be recognized. I also
note that others have been having issues in FME with PCI cards (no
audio when it should be there) so I'm curious if anyone has tried
Firewire (not from a camera). Will it work in FME v2.5+? If not, is
there an elegant laptop analog to digital conversion solution (that
doesn't require using the crapy mic in or line in ports)? (RCA
connectors would be preferred.)
Thanks so much!
P.S. I'm disappointed with Adobe's lack of support on this
encoder. They claim Firewire is supported but I've only found a few
3rd party sources that say 'video only' and nothing concrete at
that (even in the downloadable manual). I'm also disappointed at
Adobe's lack of e-mail support for 'pre-sale' product questions.
Not supper great customer service!

FME should support audio and video from Firewire
source.

How to combine rtp data containing video and audio?

Hi
I have a problem. I was examining with AVTransmit3.java and AVReceive3.java. I found that AVTransmit3 sending video and audio with different ports. It's okey as it is done as JMStudio. but my question is how can I receive this packets as raw bytes and combines them into one media file to play at a time in a player. May be very fundamental question but tough for me as i m novis as jmf programmer.
waitin for repply...................

Look in the JMF Guide regarding multiplexors and demultiplexors. It give the whole breakdown of how this works (and I think examples).

Independant video and audio tracks separate

I am using Premiere Elements 12 on a PC. I am working on a multimedia project combining video, stills and audio. Independant video and audio tracks separate when I insert a still image on another track. The tracks are not grouped or linked together. I do not know how to prevent this happening. The manual suggests pressing the Alt button when inserting but this does not work.

skinnymurray
Holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard does work and works well under most ordinary conditions. Please practice and refine your Alt technique with care patience. But....
Have you tried keeping certain parts of your established track content together by using the Group command after selecting a
bunch of clips all at one time?

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.
