Unable to Hear AC3 Files
I made a video in FCP 4.5, and exported the video/audio with Compressor. Output to .M2V and .AC3 files. The video looks great, but when I loaded the files into DVDSP4, the files are silent. They take up space on my drive, and the longer the file, the larger the file.
I can't can't hear them. (Yes, I am hearing other things out of my computer, just in case someone wants to suggest my speakers are turned off.)
Thx,
Mike
Man, a lot of people have this same problem... And A.Pack crashes on my dual G5, so what else is there to try...?

Compressor on Intel Macs create byte reversed AC3 files
A co-vendor's MUXing application is unable to recognize my .ac3 file created by Compressor. I have a file inspection application from Manzanita Systems that also fails to recognize the .ac3 file.
I found this on the web:
- - - - - - - - - - - QUOTE - - - - - - - - - - -
another user had a problem with an AC3 recently as well. In that case the file was created with a wrong (well, it's not actually wrong but it's unusual for Intel PCs) byte order which makes it impossible for ProEx to handle the file. DVD Studio Pro sees it just fine.
If you've got a hex viewer you could find out by yourself. The first two bytes of an AC3 must be 0B 77. If they are shown the other way around then the byte order has to be changed.
- - - - - - - - - - - QUOTE - - - - - - - - - - -
I looked at my .ac3 file with a hex editor and it starts with 77 0B.
Then I looked at an .ac3 file that I created with Compressor on a G5 in back in October '06. It began with 0B 77. It was also recognized by Manzanita's MPEG-ID application.
I can't find anything on Apple's website regarding this issue. No Knowledge Base article; no update; nothing.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Anyone using the latest version of Compressor on an Intel based Mac to create AC3 files having problems sending them out to people who are NOT using DVD Studio Pro to handle the files further?
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4) + stuff
PBG4 Mac OS X (10.4)I'm afraid you're right.
I just created a brand new DVDSP test project. The three new files created with Compressor work. The same files that didn't work in the project where they were PPC created AC3 files.
I was lost in many possibilities, since I had also notice that if I go in DVD SP 4 Preferences, in "Simulator" (I'm french and I don't know its real name in english...) then in "output of player" (same for my french translation) in "Audio" and that I select "numerical output - sp/dif" I have no sound played. If I select "Integrated output" then I can hear back my ac3 created with Intel Compressor.
On this same computer, with my other project, AC3 PPC created or recently created on my Mac Pro with my old A.Pack software (from DVDStudio pro 2 or 3, I think), are read without difference between these two outputs.
Finally, Do you suggest me to re-encode all my files ? or should I use A.pack instead of Compressor - maybe Apple Developpers will correct it one day ?
I'm also upset because, I has a .DTS from a trailer that was accepted and perfectly integrated in my previous DVDSP version, and that I can't use anymore ! -
How to open .AC3 files in Audition CS5.5
As the latest Adobe Audition 5.5 does not have the codec/plugin for opening .AC3 files, I need to download and install the latest QuickTime player for the required codec/plugin.
However, after installing the QuickTime Player, Audition 5.5 seemed to open the .AC3 file I've selected but the whole duration of the AC3 file is blank and has nothing in the waveform. I could not hear anything during the playback.
The fact is that when the AC3 file is playing through the Windows Media Player 12 with AC3Filter, the file can be heard and has no error.
Does anyone know the solution to this issue?The D7000 was first supported in Camera Raw 6.3.

Your Answer Tech Shayne M has ended your chat session. Thanks for visiting Answer Desk.Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

I just installed DVDSP from the FCP studio (universal binary) on my new quad G5. I used Compressor2 to encode video and audio from FCP 4.5. The aiff files sound fine, but the AC3 files are silent. When I take the aiff files to my old G4 and encode them using a.pack, the resulting AC3 files sound fine.
Why isn't Compressor2 giving me AC3 files I can hear? They aren't DTS, so I shouldn't need a decoder. I've even tried building the DVD with the silent files but they are still silent when played in Apple's DVD Player.
4X 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)have you tried burning the pproject and playing back on a set top player?
that is the ultimate test, however, i do find it weird that your *.ac3 is silent.
please burn a disc, and play from a desktop and let us know.

HELP! AC3 Files from compressor (FCS2) in MPEG Streamclip!
I'm having a problem - I'm creating 5.1 AC3 audio files with Soundtrack Pro/Compressor. The files are playing back fine, but when I import them into MPEG Streamclip, it is not recognized. Normal (downloaded AC3 files from Dolby, etc) work fine - it must be a setting I am using, but I have tried everything. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've got a project due that I need to be able to stitch together MPG video with AC3 5.1 audio into one MPG2. So far, streamclip is all I have found to do this...I am using Final Cut Studio 2. Any help is SO appreciated!!
Aaah, I wish I could help! I have exactly the same problem! I was going to post about it, but since there's this workaround, I didn't want to take up bandwidth with a problem that was not a total showstopper.
Indeed. I have stopped doing what I used to do before. Before, I used to select "All" in compressor - the files generated were the video, the aiff, and the ac3. Well after burning a few coasters through DVDSP 4.1 where there was picture but no sound, I realized that I needed to drag the aiff file to compressor again, and use that - at that point everything is fine. So, right now, my workflow is to export just the video from FCP through compressor, let it encode. Then export the aiff separately and encode it to a3 in compressor, then import the video and ac3 to DVDSP for good results. In short, no more exporting "All" from FCP through compressor, it's a waste of time.
But as to why, I have no idea, and I'm eager to hear what folks have to say! Anyhow, just letting you know you are not alone. Btw. my set up is: FCP 4.5 HD, compressor 2.1 and DVDSP 4.1.0... what's yours? -
Unable to hear sound when playing Music Sampler from website
Hi
I am unable to hear any sound when trying to listen to music samples on Amazon (for example) and also other websites. I have enabled Firewall to all the internet player, which does launch and start playing but there is no sound.
The volume is definately up on the speakers and I have tested Windows Media Player and it plays radio and other music on my pc perfectly well. So I am unsure as to why I cannot hear the music samples from websites now (I have done in the past).
An example of a link which has music sample is http://www.amazon.ca/Madeleine-Peyroux-Careless-Love/dp/B0002NRRAG
Please can you let me know your comments about this problem.
Thank youHi
Did you check if the Wave volume control in the Sound and audio devices was set to higher level???
This control is responsible for the sound volume of any music files. -
Best way to burn m2v and ac3 files to DVD
I recently compressed an exported final cut movie into DVD files - an ac3 audio file and an m2v video file.
I used Toast to burn them to a DVD but it did not finish correctly. I can hear the audio, but there is no video on the disc...just some graphic.
What is the best app to use to burn these files to a DVD? DVD Studio Pro? I don't need a menu, all I need is for the disc to play when it's inserted. I find that DVDSP is somewhat complex for burning a simple DVD.
I am going to try doing everything in Toast this time, but I've read that Toast is slow when it comes to encoding. Compressor was able to encode my 1hr 40min video in under 30 minutes....My guess is that you added the .ac3 file directly to Toast and ended up with a Toast music DVD. The setting to use in Toast is DVD video in the Video window. Add only the .m2v file. Toast automatically adds the matching .ac3 file if it has the same name except for the extension and is in the same folder. If Toast can't find the audio it asks you to locate it.
You can choose Save as Disc Image and then mount the disc image for preview in DVD Player. If all is good burn the disc image to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window. -
Low audio level in encoded ac3 file
When I export from FCS 2 using Compressor, audio ac3 file has a low audio level. I was trying change settings in compressor but no result. Therefore I export audio from FCP as quick time movie - AIFF audio file. Then audio level is the same as in FCS. But file is so big. It takes so much space on my DVD when authoring with DVD Studio Pro. I make DVD - PAL. Anybody with the same problem?
I'm glad you mentioned the preset, Silal. I kept meaning to bring that up, but forgot.
Set Preprocessing to None. That will keep high level short duration sounds, like drums, etc., from overtaking your dialog, and crushing it.
The way DIALNORM is intended to work, you set it to the average level of your dialog from your editing app. If you're working in FCP, then that might be something like -12. That setting will cause the player to attenuate the level so dialog is attenuated by 19dB (-31 minus -12 = 19dB of attenuation by the player).
That, in turn, allows the ridiculously loud music and nat sounds in the film soundtrack to sound "more natural", as they blast your ear drums into bits. "More natural" means "much louder than dialog, just like they are in real life".
Bah, humbug! Let me hear what the talent is saying. I don't care if I can hear every nuance of that rock ballad, I just want to be able to follow the story, the plot.
Hey, I'm an old dude, you whippersnappers.
But back to the point, by setting DIALNORM to -31, the player works out the math like this:
-31 minus -31 = 0dB of attenuation
So, your level should be exactly what it was before the compression/conversion. Why it isn't is a mystery, still. -

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?
The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later

I am unable to hear anything on my iphone unless I have it on speaker.
I am unable to hear my iphone at all unless I have the speaker on. Has anyone experienced this before? How did you resolve it?
Try disconnecting the headphones and then adjusting the volume, does it say headphones?
If it does, there might be something in the headphone jack, maybe lint, dirt, or something else in there.
You can try getting it out by connecting the headphones 5-10x or spraying compressed air into the jack.
If it doesn't say headphones or there isn't anything in there, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.
