Sound - No Image

When I import AVI images from my Pentax Digital Camera and preview/play them in iMovie I hear the sound but there is no image. In the Clip Viewer area they have just a white screen.
I can import video from our video camera, but can't import these files. I have tried using a converter to change the files to MPG, but have not had any better luck.
I can play the clips through VLC, so I know there is sound and image.
I have done a bit of a search on this topic, but have found most people have the problem of image without sound.

that indicates, your .avi contains some mpeg2 ... you need the 20$ *mp2 playback component* from apple.com/quicktime to make Streamclip accomplish this task ..
another excellent 'cheap' (23.32$) converter is VisualHub ..
people on this board recommend a free open source tool called ffmpeg.. which is imho not Mac-like/convenient enough for the average user (=as me) .. too many options..

Synchronizing sound and image for splash screen.

Hello all,
I have a peculiar request. ...
I have a sound file (about 137KB) and an animated gif (about 134KB).
I would like to use this as my splash window before my app starts up.
I know how to load these 2 to a screen but my problem is how do I synchronize the sound to go along with the image when it starts up? (Its a gunshot sound, whcih is looped with the animated image showing the bullet holes ;-)
I've been investigating using the Timer class but no success to date.
Currently, the sound file loads up, starts and then a few seconds later the image..
So.... How do I:
1. Load the sound first.
2. Load the image.
3. Start both of them synchronized.

This is actually pretty involved...
Are you using java.applet.AudioClip to play the sound? Are you loading the animated gif as a JLabel or something using ImageIcon?
If you are using AudioClip for the audio, I suggest that you cache the sound and image before playing the sound... otherwise you'll probably hear pops or the sound will pause. To cache the sound, do this:
AudioClip clip = Applet.newAudioClip("somefile");
Unfortunately, java really sucks at handling animated gifs. On slower computers, I've seen it take about 15-20 seconds to load an animated gif that's around 90k in size... totally unacceptable! If you have a gif that just plays a once (or a few times) and then stops, you'll have to flush the graphic to restart the image. This will reload the file and cause the long delay every time you need to replay the gif.
It seems like the best thing to do is to break up the animated gif into frames (either put each frame in its own file, or place each frame into one large image file and use clip rectangles to retrieve frames) and handle the animation yourself with your own thread. Alternatively, you can use the GifDecoder utility available at http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html, but be careful when using GifDecoder, it eats up a lot of memory for larger Gif files. When you handle the animation yourself, things should work properly. Again, make sure to cache the images by doing something like:
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon("somefile");
Once everything is preloaded, things should be pretty much synchronized if you play the sound and then show the image.
To have more control, you may have to use an object with synchronized methods... like if you want a sound to play on the 3rd and 10th frame of animation. Another option is to use Quicktime for Java.
If you need more info, let me know!

Interval between sound and image!

Hello all!
I didn't see that question on the FAQs or in the most recent topics...
On burnt DVDs via iDVD 5.0.1, I surprisingly notice a half-a-second interval between sound and image (the latter earlier), approaching the end of a long movie (45 minutes), should the movie be captured from the camera as a single clip, or should it be split into several clips in iMovie.
As if the sound encoding would result in a longer sound tape as the video tape, the movie perfectly begins and the interval progressively installs...
Any explanation or idea or tip to fix that?

they may have been in a 12-bit format!
12-bit seems to be the industry "standard" for camcorders. Both of mine came set to 12-bit. I learned about switching to 16-bit with my first one, because I read the manual. I wanted the best audio.

I'm sorry, but from your description I have no idea what you are trying to do. Ok, I see that LV is doing something, and that you want to acquire sound and images, and that the web is apparently involved. But,
How is Excel involved?
What is the web interface doing?
Where are the buttons you talk about pressing located?
What are the sound and video sources?
What version of LV are you using?
What is the network you are using?

Video out to Sony A1U: Sound, Still Image

I'm sure someone has had this issue and I know its old, but I gotta get this TV show out for tomorrow and I"ve had a plethora of problems tonight. I've played DVNTSC material out to my Sony A1U before with no problems. I now shoot on Canon 60D and I edit in Pro Res LT, then export that out as a 16:9 DVNTSC file so I can record to my A1U. I created a new project with easy setup that is all DVNTSC 3:2 Anamorphic 16:9 and then imported the DVNTSC version of my show for playout. The A1U is getting sound but only a still image or frame of the video. Even with View/External Video/All Frames, I get the same thing. I changed the camera settings to match as well. Same thing. Anyone have any ideas? I would love to not stay up all night just to play out a video to tape. I'm now trying iMovie as a playout strategy. HELP

Hmm... are you playing the DV-NTSC movie from the Viewer window? Or, do you have it a Sequence that's at DV-NTSC settings?
What you've described usually happens when the video is not compressed with the DV/DVCPro-NTSC codec.
But, I'm just taking guess.

Photo booth not working correctly/ sound and image wont record at the same time

Everytime i record a video on my photobooth, the sound doesnt record at all. Either its that, or it does record but it doesnt record accordingly, so the sound is ahead of the video when i play it

Hi Mark,
From your example, it looks like you're implementing a JSP application? I'd strongly recommend using interMedia Java Classes for Servlet and JSPs. Using this Java library has many advantages over using the Web Agent. For example, you can write a single, integrated, pure Java application, without the need to manage a separate component, such the Web Agent, to handle the multimedia data. Another advantage over the Web Agent is better support for HTML forms, including textareas, field values greater than 255 characters, and so forth. Its also much easier to provide a better user interface, where text-based and media data can be mixed in one upload form, then validated and processed in a single step.
The Java class library ship with the Oracle9i 9.0.1 CDs. You can download a copy for use with Oracle8i 8.1.6/8.1.7 from the interMedia software page on OTN. Alongside the software download link, on this same page, you'll also find links to the README and the online Javadoc. In addition, there's also a link to the sample application kit. There's a servlet example and a JSP example, both of which implement a simple photo album application and illustrate how to use interMedia Java Classes for Servlet and JSPs to upload, process (create thumbnails) and retrieve images stored using the interMedia ORDImage type.
Hope this helps.
In order to better understand the variety of ways in which our customers are using interMedia, we'd be very interested in knowing a little more about your application, the interMedia functionality that you are using, and how you are developing and deploying your application. If you are able to help us, please send a short email message with some information about your application, together with any comments you may have, to the Oracle interMedia Product Manager, Joe Mauro, at [email protected] Thank you!
Regards,
Simon

Add sound to image button (in swf to add to Dreamweaver)

Someone
PLEASE help...
I have been trying to do what I thought would be a simple
task. I am creating my first website (www.crypticart.com) in DW8. I
want to add short sound clips I have recorded of the bells and
chimes to the images I have created for the top navigation;
specifically here:
http://www.crypticart.com/intro.asp. I have tried every way
I can determine in DW without success.
I found a reference on Adobe's website which suggested
creating in Flash a .swf file that contains the .mp3 or .wav sound
file, then importing this into DW8.
Unfortunately, I cannot find instructions that are clear
enough for me to accomplish (I am very new to Flash). I have tried
a DW extension (insert sound), but that didn't work.
It seems like this should be something easily to accomplish.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated![b/]
email: [email protected]

tliszt,
Couldn't you just re-create the navbar in Flash? Then, you
could just use the "Linkage" option. I used this method to play
music when the mouse is rolled over a movieclip. Here is my music
page:

Hope that will help. I used Dreamweaver & Flash8

Airplayer sound no image

When I use the Airplayer. I can get sound on the TV, but no image. using mirror and it will flash the image on the iPad but then turn black?
Any help would be appriciated

OK,
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Clicking Sound When Images Load

Greetings,
I am getting a faint clicking noise whenever images load onto the screen - such as on the internet, or when an application opens. Also, I get the sound when I scroll on a web page with my external mouse. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Albert:
• Are you able to detect the location of the clicking sound? That is, does is come out of the speakers, or from somewhere else on the computer, like under the keyboard etc.?
• Do you have the original HDD in the computer? While booted from the computer go to Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info > Hardware > ATA. On the right pane at the top you will see ATA device tree. The first ATA Bus entry is your internal HDD. Select it, then go to the second section and doubleclick on the ID, copy and paste is in your response.
The sounds you describe are most commonly associated with the internal HDD and we need to eliminate that as the cause. If it seems to be coming from the speakers, turn the sound off, and see if it makes a difference.
Good luck.

Shift between sound and image ?

Hi there!
I have a weird issue on my computer: there is a tiny shift between the sound and the image: the image goes faster than the sound, which is very annoying, especially when the movies are long. Sometimes it works perfectly and it seems to be because the computer is busy doing something else in the background. Otherwise when I'm just running quicktime, the shift appears... But I am not sure this is because of that actually. Any idea ? Thank you a lot !

Any idea?
Afraid I don't fully understand your question. If you are asking why this occurs, the reasons most frequently are:
1) Camcorder audio recorded at 12 bits is converted/captured by harware/software that expects audio to be in a 16-bit format. In this case audio data is processed in groups of 16-bits where only 12 represent a discrete unit of coded sound.
or
2) "Muxed" source file using custom/non-standard bit rates and/or VBR audio is converted to a "frame-to-frame" sync format file. In this case, audio and video is "demuxed" to individual intermediate audio and video streams before final conversion to the target format. Once again, the intermediate audio usually expects a fixed/constant number of bits to represent a discrete unit of coded sound.
Basically, what's happening is that the audio and video streams of information are no longer of the same length when laid out side by side (i.e., "frame-to-frame) and, thus, the audio and video are "out of sync." Specifics may vary. It all depends on the actual source formats, as well as, the manner in which the final streams are merged. Most frequently, the audio track ends up shorter than the video track. If they are merged by starting both tracks at the same time ("added"), then the audio gradually diverges from the video more and more throughout the movie and by the end of a long clip can be noticeable "out of sync." If the tracks are merged by "adding and scaling" one of the tracks, then the problem is somewhat more difficult to define. In this case, the beginning and end of the movie may be nticeable "out of sync" while the middle may almost seem to be "in sync."
Now, if you are asking about solutions, then those depend on the source of the problem. Where the problem is merely in the camcorder setting, change it. If it is in the conversion/capture by hardware/software and user settings are available, then change them. If no such user settings are available, consider changing your work flow. (E.g., capture/convert using different hardware, software, or methodology such as digital-analog-digital double conversion where all else fails). Lastly, you could attemtp to "fix" the problem in "post-production." While is should be a last resort, many good editor applications do allow you to analyze the audio graphically and scale (compress/expand) tracks in order to "re-sync" them. While I have yet to try the utility myself, a dedicated application called "Movie Sync v1.0" is currently available for Mac machines. This utility allows the user to loop audio at a desired point in order to "locally" re-sync audio and video. (I can only assume a localized "scaling" is being performed.)
Does that help?

What adapter must i use to make a projection of an m4v-file (sound and images)

I have to make a presentation from an m4v-file. What adapters shall i use for sound?

PrintStream doesn't like the FileWriter, it's all squiggly. Oh, and I found the right event so that it updates every time i type a letter. So, what is this you say about making a FileOutputStream an attribute? I don't know what that means. I'm also not sure what you mean by listener, is that the PrintStream?
private void jTextPane1KeyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
FileWriter out;
PrintStream p;
try
out = new FileWriter("myfile.txt");
p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println (jTextPane1.getText());
p.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Error writing to file");}

HT1414 my ipad is 5 weeks old and yesterday i was using it and it quite. i have tryed two different chargers and it is completely dead. no sound or image. can i get this running again?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless... Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
