Synching audio/video across AirPlay & other devices

I have a AppleTV-equipped television ("TV") as well as a separate audio system that uses a MacMini as a dedicated processor ("Sound System"). The Sound System has a separate DAC, amplifier, etc. as well as an Airport Express for streaming audio.
My goal: watch Internet content (audio and video) on the TV while also hearing the audio through my Sound System.
My options: (1) use the MacMini to play the audio content directly through the Sound System while at the same time beaming the audio/video from the MacMini to the TV via AirPlay/AppleTV; or (2) use a separate Mac device (e.g. my iPhone, MacBook, etc.) to beam audio/video to the TV via Airplay while at the same time streaming the audio to the Sound System via the Airport Express.
The problem: nothing works, even using a third-party app that allows streaming to multiple devices (e.g. Porthole or Airfoil) because of the audio and visual delays with Airplay/Apple TV. Thus, even using Airfoil to sync the audio between the TV and Sound System (which it was able to achieve), I'm still left with the video being out of sync.
Any good suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Vazandrew, your solution works to send video to my TV and audio to my Sound System (via AirPlay setting on Apple TV), but it does not allow me to play the audio on my Sound System and TV simultaneously, which is what I'd like to do.

Synching audio/video malfunction

When I synch audio/video I get either a file with audio only or a graphic representing a compound clip. Anyone have any thoughts?
It would be great if I could choose two clips and let FCP X synch them with a click, but that's not my experience at all...

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. It seems clear that you have issues with your setup, and before you blame FCP X for it it is worth figuring out what is wrong. Otherwise you may end up spending money for nothing.
To begin with: which model, how much ram, os version, fcp x version? Which hard drive and how is it connected to your mac? How much free space in the system drive?
You say "practically nothing works properly for me". Your problems are real, but you probably know that FCP X works extremely well for a lot of people. No two setups are equal, and that can make troubleshooting hard. But we have a great community of people here that can help!
Please give us the information above.
Also, I suggest you try out FCP X running from a new user account. If it works well there, as it might, this will suggest that some settings in your own user account are involved in the problem.

Is it possible to stream Video to Apple TV (via Beamer with no real audio output) and at the same time stream Audio to an Airplay compatible device? (Bose Soundtouch)

I currently have the following set-up:
Ipad Mini Retina (with Airplay)
Beamer without proper audio output (picobeamer)
Bose Soundtouch (with Airplay)
Apple TV (3rd Gen)
When I stream a video via the Ipad, I either have the sound on my Soundtouch or Video via the beamer. Is there an option to have both at same moment? It really looks like I cannot have both at the same moment?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, you can't split the Airplay stream as you would like to.

Using Markers to Synch Audio & Video?

Hi,
I am new to GB. I have been using FCP to work on the audio. I went to a mac store event about podcasting and how you can use GB as a scoring tool.
I'm using GarageB to do the audio on my reel but having a few problems ...
My situation is that I have a point in one song that I would like to precisely cue up to a point in the video. I can't seem to find any marker tool under the editor window to add a marker to where my playhead is in the audio track.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Actually I have a video that I want to add audio to. I could find the marker button for the video track but nothing for the audio tracks. Say I have video of a shuttle launching and I want to cue my music track to where it builds in intensity with the liftoff. I would mark the liftoff on the video but can find no may to mark the music track with the swell. What I ended up doing was just to split the audio tracks as an ad hoc marker and line them up with the marker on the video. Once in synch, I reunited the tracks. Any easier way?

Split audio/video using Airplay and Apple TV?

I have a MBP and a Vizio TV hooked up with my ATV. They are in the same room in my living roon. The computers on my MBP are great and the speakers on my Vizio TV suck. When playing a movie in iTunes and clicking Airplay to send it to my ATV is it possible to send only the video while keeping the audio coming form my computer speaker setup? Thanks!

Sorry, that's not possible.

Since updating to maverick I am unable to share new music across my other devices. suggestions?

how to make this work please

Settings
Click on your wifi network (on the arrow to the right of your network name)
there is a button that says auto join turn it on (the button will be blue)
Then it will connect.
Evidently the update turned off auto join or something like that.....This worked for us.

Anyway yet to video call between PB & other devices?

I know Skype doesn't work, why they don't there must be some reason, licensing issue or something, but is there any other way to video chat between a playbook and an Android phone for example yet?
I hear this all the time and thought it would have a solution by now. I've ordered a second playbook as think there really great little tablets, but need to video chat between other devices to
Cheers

Use www.faceflow.com This programme is exactly the same as skype but better, It has video conferencing. Both the sender and receiver must log into the site, become 'friends', same as skype. That's all there is to it. Oh, by the way it is cross o/s as it uses the site through a browser. Hope this helps

Audio/Video encode & decoding

I am very new to mac environment,
and have a background as a linux developer. I worked mostly with avcodec and avformat api's (from ffmpeg project) to manipulate media. I could reach media devices/streams using oss, alsa, v4l or v4l2 interfaces/drivers and encode/decode them with avcodec API. Now I switched to mac and I want to get audio/video frames from input devices and encode/decode them as I want. I already took a look at QTkit and QT related topics but there is no codec variation and also no control of frames which has taken from input device/file. There is no flexibilty with almost just one way to encode media (h264 and AAC, with predefined bitrates). I am using snow leopard with Xcode 4 so AVfoundations is avaliable just for IOS env. and not for Mac environment.
I can not find any detailed media encoding/decoding document or usable(flexible) framework in mac developer central. Please help me to find or give me some advice about mac environment.
Thanks in advance .

First of all thank you xnav. But I already searched for AVFoundations and related sample sources. I do not want to change my operating system and I do not want to believe that MacOS has not got a framework embracing the media related functions at all before Lion. As I mentioned in the text above I am using snow leopard.
By the way I want to reach full control over media streams/frames and codec parameters. I want to be able to decode media stream/frame if it is encoded (for example: a web cam streaming jpeg captures using hw codec) I want to decode and resize it, maybe view it in a frame and encode it again and store it in a file or directly stream over rtsp. Is it possible ? Does't Apple have such a framework which I can find in open source environment easily (for example: ffmpeg - avcodec - avformat - avdevice). Device/driver level tools and codecs can be inside different frameworks but there must be some tools for it.

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Central

Vado audio out of synch with video when I transfer it out of Vado Centralk I have a very important video I took that runs fine in Vado Central. However, when I try transferring it anywhere else (Facebook, Photobucket, iMovie) the audio speeds up and makes my son sound like a chipmunk.
My computer is a MacBook OS 0.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB memory, which should meet the system requirements.
I've been going back and forth with customer-no-service and their last suggestion was that there's nothing wrong with the camera or Vado Central and that Facebook, Photobucket and iMovie must all be independently having the exact same problem
I'm very frustrated and unhappy. This camera is only 2 months old, but it's too late for me to return it and right now it's worthless to me. Worst of all, my very important video is ruined. Anybody have any suggestions

Yes, it sounds the same (too fast) no matter what computer we try it from. I've tried burning a DVD every way I can think of and when we try to play it on our DVD player we still have chipmunk audio.
I am BEYOND frustrated with Vado's customer-no-service. They keep insisting that since it will play in Vado Central I don't have a problem. I bought this camera so that I could share video with my family that's across the country. What am I supposed to do now, mail them the camera?! It's absurd!

InstantOn DVD - Audio out of Synch with Video

Hi
I have a MegaPC 865 Pro. I am having problems with the InstantOn DVD Player. The Audio is out of synch with the video. (the Audio is slower than the Video). It happens on both analog and digital spdif out modes.
CPU: Celeron 2.66
RAM: 1G
Optical Drive: LG GSA-4081B
HDD: 40G Seagate
Audio and Video are the inbuilt ones that came with the MegaPC 865.
In Windows XP Media centre, it works fine (the audio/video synch works fine, the 5.1/7.1 audio mix mode has problems, but thats a different topic!!)
Can anyone offer any suggestions?? Thank you.

How to use rtp to transmit data other than audio / video

hi all,
as you all know the jmf is based upon a specific paradigm:
data source -> player (processor) -> renderer.
i am not being very precise on this but that does not matter.
i want (for testing purposes) to create a tool that transmit some custom data
(maybe even nonsense) over the rtp packages.
so as you may now see this would not work quite right with the mentioned
paradigm since there would be no audio/video to play-process-render.
so how would i go about to utilise the rtp abilities of the jmf without adhering
to the whole player-whatever shebang.
what i have figured out is that there is a way to transmit custom rtp-payload.
there is even an example on the jmf solutions page but even this one uses
an audio format (pcm).
i hope what it is clear to the dear reader what i want to do and maybe some-
one can help me with this.
p.s. i am not one who wants to get the whole source code (like so many
others do on this forum) for a project someone may have done on this, what
i need is a hint in the right direction.
thanks for your attention and thanks in advance for any useful hints.

Hi, I would like to make some comments that may help
you to find out how to manage your problem.
If you have a look to the JMF 2.0 API, Guide,
"Understanding the JMF RTP API", Figure 8-2
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/guide/RTPArchitecture.html#105171
you can notice that the processor is not essential.
In this pciture, the processor is inserted between two datasources,
to let you perform some operations on the media that is read from
a file or a capture device.
But the SessionManager just needs a DataSource.
With what you say, I can imagine that you want to transmit
real-time data that is not related to standard media formats.
In principle, the only think you must do is to extend the
javax.media.protocol.DataSource abstract class and implement
it at your own convenience.
Once your custom class is written, you can call the SessionManager's
method createSendStream(DataSource ds, int streamindex) passing
for argument an instance of your mentioned custom implementation.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck ;-) !

I can get video on airplay anytime but i cannot get audio all the time. in sound output i select airplay but it only reverts back to internal speakers. same if i try earbuds. the only way to fix it is to restart computer. what do i do to fix it,

I can get video on airplay anytime but i cannot get audio all the time. in sound output i select airplay but it only reverts back to internal speakers. same if i try earbuds. the only way to fix it is to restart computer. what do i do to fix it,

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

Airplay only plays audio - video is black screen with subtitles

On my 5th generation IPOD Touch, after downloading a movie from Itunes, I only see audio. The video is all black, with subtitls only.
After many attemts to fix this - i.e. reboot Apple TV, Reboot TV, Reboot IPod touch, Reboot WIFI Router, I still saw this problem.
This is with IOS 7.01. Has anyone seen this problem? So annoying and frustrating!

I suspect you are out of luck based on this:
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Synching audio from GarageBand to video in iMovie

I'm a musician, and I'm recording a song in GarageBand. I'd like to make a simple music video of me singing with guitar, but that requires that I be able to synch the audio I've recorded along with the video. In other words, I want the words in the song to come out of my mouth at the same time. Anyone?

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...
