Strange Sony VDU file audio problem

Files are in Hard Disk Portable Sony DSR-DU1 registered from a Sony DSR-PD170 in 16:9 format
Before to entry in Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 I can see correctly all my files in QuickTime Player
When I open Log and Transfer window I can see all my 16:9 files in 4:3 aspect ratio and the audio is correct
After the logging I put my files in timeline and the audio of every clip glitches so is unusable
Please help me I need to work with the PD170-DU1 setup
Thanks, Maurizio

One similar, potential problem, that can develop, is when the Conforming process is interrupted, before it completes 100%.
A quick way to rule that out, would be to navigate to the Media Cache files, and Delete the CFA and PEK (Waveform Display) for that Clip, outside of Premiere Pro. Then, when you launch PrPro and Open your Project, the program will recreate both of those files. There is a little progress bar, that many do not notice. Let it complete 100%, before even touching the computer. Test.
I hope that it is as simple as that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Import Sony HDD video/audio problems

I have tried to import video footage from a Sony Handycam DCR-SR82 hard drive camcorder into Premiere Pro CS3, but it only imports the video...no audio. It works fine if I import it into Premiere Pro 2. Thanks for any help you can provide. OS - Windows Vista. All updates to Premiere CS3 have been installed.

Here's the original message I read with the fix:
There is a fix!!!!!
If you have Encore CS3 installed...just copy the file ad2ac3dec.dll from the Encore CS3 directory and paste it into the Premier Pro CS3 root directory. This will allo PPcs3 to accept mpeg files with the ac3 extention. If you already have files imported in your projects...you will have to remove those files and re-import them. So far there are no side effects to this process. Have fun all you damn sony camcoder owners.

It works brilliantly. Unfortunately, once you get that fixed you will find yourself with another problem...random red frames in your projects. We use SR-82s at work and I have a Sony SR-1. Both cameras' mpgs will give you the red frame problem in CS3.
As a workaround, you can convert your mpgs to avi or re-encode with h.264 codec before importing into CS3. That worked for me.

Vob file audio problem....what the heck.

whenever i import a vob file for some reason it plays audio from a past imported vob file instead of the audio that belongs to the video i just imported.....what can i do to fix this its freaking annoying!

Are the .vob source files in unique folders, or all together? As .vob files from a DVD always follow the same naming convention, quite likely that your two .vob files have the same name and that is confusing Premiere. Perhaps go into Windows and change the name of the .vob file and re-import again, what happens then?

SONY VGN-FW270 Audio Problem

The volume/sound of my laptop goes up and down on its own, and sometimes just completely goes silent for a good amount of seconds.
I purchased the laptop about 2 months ago, and I've been experiencing this problem ever since.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this?
Thank you!

Audio problem: Strange "watereffect" when balancing audiolevel to centre.

I listen to music on my G5 a lot, using a headphone.
Recently my G5 started to make strange noises when playing audio files over iTunes.
It sounded a bit like your were listening to music under water. I looked at the sound preferences, I found something strange: in the output settings are the balance settings for a device. When i set these to extreme left or extreme right the sound seems to be alright (it sound like mono over my headphones but still both channels produce sound...) When i set the settings to the middle the "water noise" effect comes in. The sound is all distorted. My headset seems to be alright. I'am not sure if this is system, itunes or maybe quicklime related is. I haven't installes new software that i can remember and making an new account doesn't seem to improve the soundqaulity. Does any of you have had the problem before?

Jaky07IT,
Have you run the updates for your install of Snow Leopard? If not run the following.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Have you tried other headsets other than the iPhone? The iPhone has a 4 conducter conector, as opposed to a regular set which has 3. (the 4th is for the microphone on the iPhone set).
Also try a NV/pram reset.

Audio problems when exporting files from Premiere Pro CS5

I try to post in English.
I have audio problems in Premiere Pro CS5 when exporting a film.
I cut an interview. The sound seems not to be synchronized when exporting a file. It doesn´t matter what file format I export. On cutting points the sound is different to the sound I hear in premiere. In premiere the audio sounds very good but in exported file I hear cracks on cutting points.
When I reimport the audio file an put it in the timeline the synch point is correct but the interview differs about 2 frames to the original audio in premiere.
The material was filmed on Sony ex3. The files are XDCam HD. I have updated the production suite.
Thanks for answers
Frieder

Also, make sure that you check the box marked "Export Audio" if you want a MP4 extension.

Audio problem when importing video files.

Hello everyone,
I just started using FCP X a few days ago for a university project and I seem to encounter an audio problem when importing videos in .mp4, .mov format or via the import from camera option.
Indeed I need to import videos in .mp4 and .mov format into FCP X. The import in itself is normal I can see my videos into the events/clips library and if I play them from the library I can hear the sound quite perfectly.
However, when I want to edit my videos and put it in the timeline, there is no audio. As a result I started to think that my videos could be the problem so I tried the option "import from camera" option using the Isight camera of my macbook pro but the same things happened. I could hear the sound from the events/clips library but not from the timeline (I can't see any audiowaves in the timeline).
I found a solution using quicktime and extracting the audio of the video in .m4a then importing the videos files and the audi files corresponding but it's a long process and a waste of time as FCP X should be able to import the audio of my video into the timeline directly. Especially if it can read it from events/clips library.
I hope I explained myself clearly and you could help me resolve my problem.
Cheers
Christophe
PS: I'm using FCP X version 10.0

Update to 10.0.5.
You have an incorrect setting when you edit. Try trashing your preferences. Post screen shots of your timeline and toolbar.

Strange audio problem with my MacBook Pro

Hello everyone,
first of all I should say that this is not the well known "no-audio-from-internal-speakers-and-red-light-burning-on-microphone-jack" audio issue on many MacBook Pros. However, I still hope some of you experts can help me.
Here's what happens. At some point of the last few days, I realized I was not getting any sound from my Mac's internal speakers except the typical boot sound on startup. Then I opened the System Preferences/Sound window and saw that I have only one output option: "Headphones - Headphone port". No internal speakers at all. This doesn't mean I can use my headphones at all... When I connect them to the computer with my System Preferences still open, then the option "Headphones" change automatically to "Digital out" and no sound comes out of them. If I take them out, then I can see the red light for about half a second, then it's off. Ironically, I still can hear some sound (even perfect audio) out of my headphones when I don't put them completely into the jack but at some very unstable point at about 90% of the connector's size.
I can use the function keys F10-F12 to mute or turn up and down the sound... Everything seems to work - still no sound comes out. I thought of course of a hardware problem but I can hear the mac startup din-dong effect like always and I even let the AHT run with no negative results. I also tried repairing the hard disk permissions, as I read somewhere, with the Disk Utility. Still no results.
Anyone to give me a clue what's happening on my Mac? I bought it about 2 months ago, and the software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.6).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Luis

Hi friends
I too have a macbook pro running 10.6.6 and an odd audio problem which has recently shown itself and although different to Luiscv's problem, may well be related.
My audio works fine through the built in speakers but gets all fruity with some but not all audio as soon as I plug in the headphones. I get crystal clear audio when playing mp3's through quicktime whether I have the headphones plugged in or not.
youtube flash movies through Safari and VLC .mkv files are problematic. I do get audio but the stereo sound somehow gets split so the dialogue gets very quiet and fuzzy and the musical soundtrack gets louder.
If this is a codec/decompression issue why does the sound come good when I unplug the headphones? Why are some files totally fine with both headphones and internal speakers?
I have updated perian, zapped p-ram, repaired permissions all to no avail.
Thanks in advance to anyone able to solve this one.
Best wishes,
Wayne Batistic

Strange audio problem playback

I have what's probably an easy problem but can't find an
answer anywhere here. When using "Play" or using the return key to
preview my project in Flash 8 on OS X, I can't stop the audio. The
audio is an MP3 voice over.
Pressing "Stop" or using the return key again stops the
playhead, but the audio continues no matter what I do. I can go
back to the beginning and play it again, and now I'll have two VOs
going on at once. The only way I can get the audio to stop is by
closing out the project.
This is making timing my animation to match what the VO is
saying very difficult. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem, but only after reinstalling XP
and all my software on a new hard drive. My previous hard drive
hadn't had a fresh install of XP in three years and was giving me
intermittent problems. However my swf's work properly on the old
drive but not the new one. I'm guessing it's one of my updates of
Firefox, flash player (was using 9,0,28,0 but now am 9,0,45,0). My
scenario is complicated because I'm using Flash Media Server, but
again it works on one drive and not the other. The odd thing for me
is that if I create my swf on the new drive with 9,0,45,0 and then
play it back when I boot from the old drive, it still has the same
double audio problem that plays similar to you. My play/pause
button has no effect and the audio just keeps going. If I do pause
the audio and wait for my audio to finish and then hit play again,
my scrubber bar moves but nothing plays until it gets to the end
and starts over. I was also getting double audio at times as well.
Could this be the new player??? Have you figured anything out since
you posted last? I'm using XP, flash 8, Firefox 2.0.0.4.

Strange audio problems

For about a week now I've been have a very, very peculiar problem. Putting it as simple as I can, while watching videos online (in a browser of any sort) the audio turns off then immediately turns back on, the audio symbol in the top right of the screen turns gray then black then grey then black a couple of times. As far as I know this only occurs when I watch videos online, it doesn't make a difference if I have speakers plugged in or headphone plugged in or if I'm using the internal speakers.
I wouldn't mind if someone could figure this out fast as it really is starting to get on my nerves. Thanks!

Hello,
As a musician myself, I definitely understand you're frustrations with audio problems. Would you mind giving us a few more details about your problem?
1. How often does this issue occur, and when did you first start noticing it?
2. Have you verified if this issue occurs in a test user
If the issue is present in both users, there are a few simple troubleshooting steps you can try. First, run SW updates. Try resetting the [PRAM|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379] and [SMC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US]
I also recommend cleaning out your headphone jack with some compressed air, which you can buy at most electronic stores.
I hope those tips get you on the right track. You may also look at brining your computer to an [Apple Retail Store|http://www.apple.com/ca/retail/>

IMovie HD - Urgent Audio Problem!

I've been working on a video for my Chinese final and iMovie HD 5.0.2 has been working until now. No matter what I do, all of the audio is skipping. The audio I'm using is either embedded audio imported from my HD Video Camera, a music file, or a sound effect clip. The music and sounds are all .mp3.
The sound gradually started getting worse and now nothing I'm doing is making a difference. I can't find an update that will fix my problem. I've already ordered iLife 09 so I can use the newest version of iMovie, but I need this to work right now. This project is due tomorrow and it would have been done if not for the audio problems. Again, I have iMovie HD 5.0.2
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your help. I didn't realize I was so far behind on the iMovie series. I downloaded the newest one and it worked great as far as importing the video without bars. The video was from a Sony widescreen SD video camera and I used MPEG Streamclip to confirm the video was true 16:9 but for some reason iMovie HD just squished it to the right. Anyway, I noticed on the new iMovie it only has the option for 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. So is it not as good as iMovie HD even thought it's newer? Oh well, guess I'll cross that bridge when I get an HD camcorder.

Premier Elements 8 Audio Problem

I just got a new Dell laptop last week that came with the Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and Premier Elements 8 bundle pre-installed.   I’ve never worked with Premier Elements before and thought I’d try my luck with it yesterday. I edited several movie clips that were taken with my Sony camera in MP4 format, joined the clips into one movie with transitions between them, and rendered the finished product in .mpg format.
The video plays fine in all programs, but the audio is a different story. It is silent in Windows Media Player and Real Player, yet plays well in Windows Media Center and Windows Movie Maker. It also plays on my Dell PC in Windows Media Player (the same program that silences it on my Dell laptop).
I'm a senior citizen and have worked a little bit with Windows Movie Maker but that is all - nothing more intricate than that program. I’d like to burn my new movie file to DVD but would first like to know what is causing the audio problem. I'm hoping it's something simple and that this aged brain can understand the "fix". Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help you can offer me.
Anne

Hello Hunt, and thank you for helping me.
Yes, you have described the problem correctly. In PrElements, all was
well with video and audio - and still is OK in two of the video players I have
on this new laptop.   However, there is no audio in the other two programs
- but only on this Dell laptop in Windows Media Player. There IS audio in
Windows Media Player on my Dell PC. That's what really confuses me.
Yes, the original file from the camera was mp4 and was exported as mpg
(MPEG). I don't remember the settings I used; I think the only thing I
changed was a quality setting. Is there a way of going back and looking at the
original settings to jot down what they were?
I think that the free version of Real Player has improved over the years
and has a few more "goodies" now than it did in previous editions.   For one,
I was able to capture an internet video in its entirety last year, and
very easily. I wanted this video (a show trailer) for a slideshow I was
creating and couldn't figure out how to get it with any other application.
That's the main reason I installed Real Player last week on this new laptop -
"just in case" I want to do this again.
I will take your advice and look into the two free players...
And, in response to your second post, WMM has given me a good start but,
unless I'm missing something, it does not have the capability of burning a
DVD. I will check out the resources link and the Training Series that you
describe, and thank you so much for your help!
Cordially,
Anne

Anne,
Welcome to the forum.
Just to make sure that I am following you, I will restate what I think you
are experiencing, and then please correct me. Along the way will be a few
questions too.
You have created a Project in PrElements, and have Imported Video (with
Audio) into the PrE Project. The files from your Sony are in MP4 format.
In PrE you have your Audio, correct?
You have then Exported/Shared that Project to an AV file as an MPEG. Do
you recall the settings chosen for that MPEG?
That Exported/Shared file plays with Audio in some players, but in others
it only plays the Video, but not the Audio. Is that correct?
Knowing the settings used to create that MPEG file might explain why some
player software does a good job, where other players have an issue.
This is an aside comment - I find that WMP, especially the later versions,
is not a good choice for a player. It seems that MicroSooft has done as
much as possible to strip it of most capabilities. Instead, I recommend two
free players,
http://gofree.com/download/Video/Media-Players/vlcmediaplayer.php?gclid=CLW6soS44KkCFQoBbA odO3L2Xg and
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/. Both are excellent, and will play files, that some other players struggle
with. Again, both are free. Because all players are not created equal, I
just go with what works. If you were distributing these files to a client,
that was locked into WMP, especially the newer versions, then addressing the
issue would be worth the detective work. If that was the case, then I
would explore Exporting/Sharing to WMV format, rather than the MPEG.
I have not used RealPlayer in about a decade. I found it to be nearly
useless then, and rather ill-behaved. I will not let it near my computers,
though it has possibly been improved over the years. If you have any RealMedia,
MediaPlayer Classic HC, can be modified with a free plug-in, to allow
that. If you do not have RealMedia files (usually designated by .RM), then I
would not worry about taht. Only install what you need, when you need it. I
would just ignore RealPlayer, since it is installed.
Good luck, and hope that this was helpful. Let us know a bit more about
the MPEG settings, please.

IMovie to iDVD audio problems

Hello,
I am using iMovie '09 (version 8.0.4). I have created a movie with mp3 audio files playing in the background with the clip volume at 0. The video clips are interspersed with some images every now and then as well as transitions. The movie plays quite well when i preview it in iMovie.
I then share the movie with iDVD (version 7.0.4). When I play the movie in iDVD, almost the entire thing plays perfectly except for this one little part. In that little part, audio from some clip starts playing along with the background music.
More things about my project:
1. I am using audio ducking only once, I know where it is in the timeline and it is working just fine
2. Where the problem occurs, I have looked if I might be doing something wrong in precision editor. Turns out I am not using precision editor on the clips where the audio problem occurs at all
3. All video clips around where the porblem occurs are at a volume of 0
I am confused. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
4. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Audio Problem with new Apple TV: Audio Optical (Toslink) to RCA

Hi guys,
I just set up my new Apple TV but don't have any audio so far (picture works).
It's probably because I connected the HDMI to DVI, as my Sony TV only has DVI.
Now I am thinking about getting audio by connecting the optical audio of the Apple TV to my stereo receiver to solve this issue.
Problem: my Sony STR-D315 receiver only has RCA connectors ( looking like this: http://media.photobucket.com/image/receiver%20rca/xyphon112/IMG_1701.jpg not sure if this is digital or analog)
Now I figured out that there would be converters:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/advancedsearchresult.php?keywords=toslink+converter&sid=moqhnqo7m5eup531h3dp3l62g4
Do you think this could solve my problem? I am little confused atm, but would I need the "toslink to digital coaxial(RCA)" or the "digital coaxial (RCA) to toslink" product?
My shopping list atm would basically be:
- the converter
- optical cable ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/TR841LL/A )
- this RCA cable ( http://www.daydeal.com/files/images3/blkrcacable.jpg )
Do you think this might work?
My goal is only to get sound, doesn't need to be super quality
Feedback from a cable expert would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Martin

Jim, thank you so much for your answer.
That's what I was worrying about, I also think that the audio inputs of my Sony STR-D315 receiver are only analog. My Sony TV has audio input but unfortuntately it's not optical
A "TOSLINK to analog RCA converter" really sounds like the only solution. Would this be an appropriate one?
http://www.canadacomputers.com/productinfo.php?cPath=5_72_73&itemid=032471
I really like the new Apple TV but want to avoid buying a new receiver (or even TV). So thanks a lot for your help.
Have a good evening & all the best,
Martin
