Video and Audio 2 frames out of sync: DVCPRO HD 720p60. Can you help me pl?
Hi,
I'm capturing DVCPRO HD video 720p60 [shooted with a Panasonic VARICAM (AJ-HDC27)].
I'm using a Panasonic AJ-HD1200A videorecorder (by the Firewire port):
on the Final Cut Pro (5.1) timeline, video and audio are out of sync (audio comes two frames before video). Why?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks a lot.

This is normal when capturing DVCPRO HD via firewire. Happens to me all the time. I simply slip the audio back two frames when I drop them into the timeline. Only way to fix this is to get an HD capture card like the Kona LHe or Decklink Extreme and capture the footage via HD SDI as DVCPRO HD. Doing that will eliminate the sync issue.
It is all FIREWIRE's fault...

Video and audio slowly go out of sync
im trying ot make encore dvds the first one I made worked fine but now whenever I make a dvd the video and audio slowly drift apart as it plays.
ive tried converting the audio to AC3 but it did not help. Ive also tried various formats like vob, mp4 and avi.
does anyone have a solution?This may or may not work but give it a try. I'm not sure what software you used to create the video file that you sent to Encore
but I'll assume that it is Premier CS3 or CS4.
Here's what I would do.
1) output your sequence two ways. a) seperate Mv2 & Audio file, b) One single AVI file. Use media Encoder, DO NOT USE DYNAMIC LINK!
2) Import each one into encore. NOTE: The mv2 file will NOT have to be transcoded.
3) Set each one up on a seperate timeline.
4) Play each time line. See if they go out of sync. If they do, make sure that you perform the following.
5) Place each timeline onto a menu. label each one so you know which is which (i.e., MV2, AVI)
5) Burn the project to an image file (don't waste a DVD).
Next try playing the DVD using a seperate DVD player (NOT ADOBE)
Test each timeline. See if they work or fail.
It sounds like a lot of work but once you know which way works, stick with it! -
DVD encoded video and audio progressively get out of sync
Hi Compressor professionados,
I've been trying to finalise a DVD I’m creating but keep having the same show-stopping problem where I just can't get the timing of the audio and video right after encoding it to MPEG-2/ac3 for DVD Studio Pro. When I lay it into the track in DVDSPro it plays fine at the start of the track but as the clip gets longer the audio and video gets further and further out of sync, by a few seconds (eg. for over 1 hour length footage).
I've seen similar posts online about timing issues with Compressor but nothing I saw has hit the nail on the head for me. I also posted my problem on Creative Cow but didn't get the help I needed to fix my problem.
Here's the specs:
FCPro X 10.1.4
Video project: 1080i (@ 25i)
Audio 44.1 kHz
Render: Apple ProRes 422
Length: 01:13:05:02
Compressor 4.1.3
MPEG-2 Setting (only what I think is important... or I don't know)
Format: Elementary Stream
Stream Usage: DVD
Retiming: Set duration to: 100% (shows 01:13:05:02)
Video Frame Rate: Auto (25fps)
Field Order: Same as Source
GOP: greyed out at 12
ac3:
Sample rate: 48kHz (the only choice)
Data rate: 224 kbps
DVD Studio Pro 4.2.1
PAL DVD-9 project
From FCP I send my project to Compressor and when I drop both a DVD Audio and Video codec onto it they both show as Retiming 100% (and the length looks the same) but the results are still unsynchronised at the end of the clip when they are placed into the Track in DVDSPro. I've also tried changing different settings, like MPEG-2 Retiming duration to "So source frames play at 25 fps", but I'm still having troubles.
At one point I managed to get the A/V timing right for my track and I then ran what I thought was the same settings for all my other tracks in the DVD but they ended up with a similar outa-sync problem so I deleted everything to try again and realised I'd deleted my good files. And I just can't seem to replicate it again. I’m not sure if it was an accidental mistake that worked or I hit on the right settings. Either way, it shouldn’t be this hard to get it right, for heaven's sake!!!
Also, strangely, when I open the MPEG-2 file in QuickTime Player (10.4) it shows 01:10:30 long but if I open the same file in QuickTime Pro 7 it shows as the correct 1:13:05. And DVD Studio Pro shows 01:13:05:02 for both the audio & video assets but their sync is still out at the end.
This problem stopped me from producing the DVD last Christmas and I tried to pick it up again to give it to the family for this Christmas but ended up having to bail yet again - not impressed!!!
I'm hoping it's a simple solution of getting the settings right but it may also be a bug! Apparently, my bro-in-law has had similar problems and has ditched the DVD route altogether. I already have all of my menus etc. set up and I'd hate to have to ditch all that hard work.
Thanks in anticipation,
BrettThanks so much Russ & Tom!
It was as easy as changing the sample rate in the FCP project from 44.1 to 48 and sending it to Compressor again. I think it was set to 44.1 because I had the project set to automatically assign the parameters from the first video dropped into it. I haven't checked yet but the audio from my camera is likely 44.1.
It would be nice if Compressor produced a warning message when you set the codec up for DVD audio that the original is set to a different sample rate & may cause timing problems when resampled to 48kHz.
Anyway, again THANKS lads for solving what has been a year long problem for me and now I can complete my Christmas project, albeit late!
Virtual chocolates to you both!!! -
I'm on OS X 10.6.8 and have a .mov file which plays on QuickTime 10.0 but with choppy video and the sound is out of sync???? File details are Video Codec: DNxHD (AVdn) Resolution 1920x1080 Audio Codec: PCM S24 BE (in24) Bitrate: 1536kb/s. Any ideas?
Question: Is all the source footage shot in 16 bit audio or is some also shot in 12 bit?

I cannot play the m4v movie (Linear) I downloaded with the U2 album "No line on the horizon". I have the latest versions of itunes and quicktime. I have a windows 7 computer. Can you help.
Hi whatisitagain,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If the movie you downloaded from the iTunes Store is not playing in iTunes for Windows, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:

All the best,

Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

my safari and my app store don't open in yosemite. Can you help me?...
You probably ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -

I am unable to authorise my iPod Classic on my new hard drive. All previous hard drives have crashed or been repaired and I never deauthorised the iPod at the time. Can you help me to authorise it please?
Hello zoefromoranmore,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to deauthorize devices which you no longer have, you will have to use the deauthorize all command, found in the article below.
Deauthorize all computers
If need to deauthorize your computer but you can't access it, you need to deauthorize all computers. After you authorize 2 computers, you'll have the option to deauthorize all computers for your Apple ID. You can deauthorize all computers once per year.
Why should I deauthorize all of my computers?
To make sure that only you can play your content, or to free up authorizations used by your old computers. Here's when you should deauthorize all computers:
Your computer doesn't work anymore
You sold or gave away a computer and didn't deauthorize it first
What happens when I deauthorize all computers? Will I lose my content?
Just like deauthorizing a single computer, you won't delete anything if you choose to deauthorize all computers. You just won't be able to play content that you bought from iTunes on those computers until you reauthorize them. You need to have the computer to reauthorize it.
How do I deauthorize all of my computers?
Using one of your authorized computers, follow these steps:
Open your account in iTunes (you may need to sign in with your Apple ID). Or open iTunes, click Store > Sign In, and enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Deauthorize All.
The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means you only have one authorized computer.
I deauthorized all of my computers. What should I do now?
Reauthorize each computer that you want to use with iTunes. Go to Store > Authorize this computer and enter your Apple ID and password.
Deauthorize your computer using iTunes

I have upgraded iphone from 4 to 5s inserted the sim followed the screen instructions BUT I have no service can you help?
The iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s use different sized sims. So you can't simply have inserted the 4's sim into the 5s.
If you got a new sim, was that sim activated without your carrier?
You need to contact your carrier if you wish to have your service on the 4 transferred to a sim that the 5s can use. -
