Video plays fine in iMovie but not in Web Gallery ?

Hi
I managed to import some small video clips to iMovie 08 using Streamclip (converting to .dv files).
The movies play fine in iMovie - no problems. However when I publish to Mac Web Gallery (I only published "mobile" size), one of the videos always hangs at the same point. The clip starts playing but you can see the clip stop loading and then it stops playing at the exact same point about 3 minutes in.
The Web Gallery says the clip is 4mins 36secs long but it never plays it in full. I've removed from Gallery and republished. I've also deleted the project and started from scratch. Both have failed to cure it.
Also tried it in Firefox 3 and Safari - same result.
Why is Mac Web Gallery struggling to play all the clip?
Thanks for any input!

Which version of iMovie?
If you are on version 8.0.6, this is probably due to the use of speed changes like fast motion or slow motion.
If you have speed changes in your project, you need to stick to the pre-set tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc. If you use a custom percent like 58% or 139%, you will get weird audio behavior in your final product.

  • Video plays fine in iMovie but is messed up on DVD?

    I made a 15-minute video using iMovie. I then made a DVD using iDVD; however, about 5 minutes in on the DVD, stuff gets weird. There are clips where I muted the video and had a voiceover, but for some reason on the DVD you can still hear the audio from the video clip. Voiceovers are getting jumbled up and playing over each other. I tried burning two separate DVDs, and it happened both times. I also tried just exporting it to my desktop, and it happened again.
    Does anyone know what the problem could be, and if so, how to fix it? Thank you.

  • Video plays properly in iTunes but not on AppleTV via Airplay

    I converted a few AVI files to MOV using Quicktime X and then imported the file into iTunes. The videos play just fine in iTunes, but they cannot be played on my AppleTV via Airplay. All the videos appear to load onto the AppleTV (control/play bar at bottom of screen appears), but one video does not play at all and the others only play audio. Again, they all play perfectly in iTunes.
    Video info:
    Kind: QuickTime movie
    Codecs: XVID, MPEG Layer 3
    Audio channels: 2
    Total bit rate: 1,422
    Thanks!

    Try Using Handbrake (free) to transcode to M4v or mpg4 files....... thay are supported by ATV2 nand will appear fine. .avi is an old compression scheme and is not suppoted on ATV2

  • Only parts of my songs from itunes match are downloading onto my phone.  The full song plays fine on computer but not on iphone

    I recently purchased Itunes match to download some of the songs from my library onto my phone.  Everything downloaded fine.  At least I thought, until I tried to listen to my music on my phone.  I found that some of the songs that were downloaded from the itunes match are not fully there.  The full song plays fine on my computer, however on my phone it will only play a part of the song and then immediately cut off and skip to the next song, while the display still says the other song should be playing.  I tried turning off the itunes match and just re-synching the music from my computer itunes library to my phone but still encounerted the same problem.  Is there an easier way of fixing this, or do I have to basically restore my whole phone?

    Did you let the scan in iTunes finish before you enabled the service on the iPhone? If not you need to. Disable iTM on the iPhone, then launch the Music app and let the content clear out. Once the scan is complete in iTunes re-enable iTM on the iPhone.

  • Disc playing fine on DVD, but not MacBook Pro

    Hello - I have authored and burned discs, and they all play fine on my DVD player on my TV set, but are not playing on my MacBook Pro. I put the disc in after Disk Utility shows it's been burned successfully, and after a few 'tries', it pops out, never even mounting on the computer. Might there be a 'fix' for this? Thanks so much...

    I would start to troubleshoot by trying a commercial (rented or purchased) DVD and make sure it's not the drive itself. It would be strange for a DVD to work in a set top box but not your computer, it's usually the other way around.
    And did you really mean to post this in the Final Cut forum?

  • DVDSP DVD's play fine in macs but not in standalone players...

    This might be attached to my previous problem, but I thought I would give it a new topic as it is now a new problem.
    The DVD's I have made in DVDSP play as they should in DVD Player when inserted into the two iMacs we have, however when we insert the discs into a standalone/set top player, the DVD plays the main track first and THEN goes back to the menu.
    What should happen is that a short intro video plays (first play) then onto the Menu where, of course, the viewer makes their selection.
    If I stop the DVD by hitting th STOP button on the standalone player several times, I eject the disc and then re-insert it, the DVD plays as it should; showing the first play video and then going to the menu.
    Would anyone know a solution to the problem apart from telling the client to hit stop first, ejecting and then re-inserting the DVD?
    Cheers,
    Spookola

    I can only tell you what I'd start doing because I don't know what is happening here any more than you do. First I'd buy some other brand -R dvd blanks. Next I'd make some minor change to the DVD SP setup and burn a new set. You should know that burning dvd's on a Mac or PC is not as foolproof as commercially burned dvd's. You CANNOT guarantee compatibility. If you sell 50 copies you WILL find some people that can't play yours because of compatibility issues. For them you can try burning a +R dvd or buy another external burner and try that too. No single solution will guarantee compatibility when burning from a computer and playing on a commercial dvd player. some folks "never have a problem" but in general I think that's because they don't burn that many dvd's for that many people. sooner or later most folks that burn dvd movies on their mac or pc will find somebody that can't read their dvd.

  • Plays fine in iMovie but the sound disappears once exported to Quick Time

    I read through all the little support things in the iMovie '06 help and nothing worked. No matter how many times I try to export my project to QuickTime everything works but the audio even though I've made sure the audio settings are correct. In iMovie the video plays and the imported song does as well but exporting loses the sound.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Some possibilities:
    Check out this thread for a possible solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7305234&#7305234 Perhaps renaming the file would help.
    I don't know if ithis has an effect on the file, but why is it saved in documents rather than music or movies?
    Also, are you using iTunes to convert the file to .aiff? Here is the procedure from iTunes help:
    *Choosing AIFF and WAV custom import settings*
    If you use AIFF or WAV encoding, you can use custom settings for greater control over the quality and size of imported files.
    To choose AIFF and WAV import settings:
    1. Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Importing.
    2. Choose AIFF Encoder or WAV Encoder from the Import Using pop-up menu.
    3. Choose Custom from the Setting pop-up menu.
    4. In the dialog that appears, choose settings:
    Sample Rate: The number of times per second the music waveforms are captured digitally. The higher the sample rate, the higher the quality and the larger the file size. Don't choose a sample rate higher than the rate used to store the music originally or you'll waste space. CD quality, for example, is 44.100 kHz, so choosing a higher rate when you're encoding from a CD is unnecessary. In general, the best choice is Auto, which uses the same rate as the original music.
    Sample Size: The number of bits used to store each sample taken as the music is encoded. The higher the sample size, the better the quality and the larger the file size.
    Channels: If you don't have stereo speakers or if your audio files are monaural (mono files are about half the size of stereo files), choose Mono. If you'll be listening through headphones or a stereo system, choose Stereo or Auto. Auto converts monaural tracks into mono files and stereo tracks into stereo files.

  • Music plays fine in iTunes but not at all on iPod

    I have a few songs that I created in Soundtrack Pro that I have imported into iTunes. I have all of the music I created in one folder on iTunes. I just uploaded 4 new songs and they will not play on my iPod. When I click on a song (the ones I created) they skip to another song. What is causing them to skip to another song? Is it a QT thing? I saw where I do have an update waiting for me. Could that be the issue? I have other songs that I created that play with no problems. Those songs are AIFF files. I even tried converting them to AAC files and they still won't play on the iPod. I did notice that songs are getting exported from Soundtrack Pro as .m4a files and that could be why but I am not sure. I just know they play with no problems in iTunes and not all on my iPod. I DO have the latest version of iTunes as well the latest update for my iPod.
    Thanks!!!

    DVX100Shooter,
    I am having a very similar problem, except it is happening to ALL of my music. For your case, perhaps you could try exporting to WAV from Soundtrack Pro (not sure if that is an option), and then let iTunes encode the audio in whichever format you choose. There shouldn't be any loss in quality in doing that.
    As far as my situation, I have updated my iPod (5th Gen 80GB Video) to the latest firmware (v1.3), iTunes is completely updated, OS X v10.5 is completely updated. I have restored my iPod on both PC and Mac, but no luck. Basically, no matter what songs I put on my iPod (MP3s or Apple Lossless), nothing will play on the iPod. I can fully browse the library on the iPod, but when I select a song to play, it just sits at 0:00 forever. If I hook the iPod up to a computer, I can play the music off of it just fine, which indicates that the hard drive is working just fine. Adding however much music I want to works just fine. I even stumbled across the Diagnostics tests, all of which passed with no errors. To me, it just seems that the iPod wants to play the song, but for some reason the compressed data isn't getting through the decoder....or....the music is decompressed OK but won't go through the digital-to-analog converter. Anyone have any suggestions for either my or DVX100Shooter's case?

  • Video plays on Root folder but not in Cgi-bin folder...Help!

    Hello-
    I just transfered my entire website content form one domain to another and for some reson my videos will not play on the new domain whereas they played correctly in the cg-bin folder of the old domain.  I do not understand why and need your help to figure it out since I am not a flash guy.
    Here is the link to the videos that are not working correctly.  http://www.healthywaterlife.com/cgi-bin/d.cgi/phil/videos.html
    My cgi guy says that all of the cgi is working correctly and he has stated that the problem lies within the code of the html.  So here is the html code for one of the videos...
    <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="605" height="350" id="FLVPlayer1">

    </object>
    And yes, my server, codero, supports all of the cgi as the old domain worked well and was operating on the codero server.
    Thanks for your help!

    Are you sure that all the files have been uploaded?
    The player.swf, the skin.swf, the actual .flv video file, and what about any javascript files used for Flash detection? So that could be as many as 4 files.
    To test, paste the entire absolute address to each of those files directly into your browser address bar, like this:
    http://www.healthywaterlife.com/videos/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
    You should not see ANY file not found messages.
    After verifying that each file exists on the server, then it's only a matter of correctly pathing all the Flash assets, and pathing includes correctly spelling file names (upper or lower case.. must be exact) as well using correct folder names.
    To review Flash pathing:
    Pathing issues
    Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
    You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
    Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location.  So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
    In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
    So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

  • Video Plays on local computer but not web

    My video which is a mp4 plays on my local computer fine but when I upload it to the web server godaddy to be specific it doesn't work in IE 9 but works fine in the other browsers. I have been trying to figure this out but I can't here is the web address for the site gologisticsusa.com

    I know this might sound like a cop out answer but I do not check in IE 9 yet because it is not fully used by everyone. I would just forget it and leave it till you can get a better answer.
    Eh, what? By that reckoning you shouldn't be testing on ANY browser as none of them are "fully used by everyone". You should be testing on EVERY browser available to you - most errors can be fixed with proper coding.
    In this instance, it looks like you are trying to use the HTML5 <video> tag, but it has not been properly used. As such it doesn't work in FF and/or some IE. IE will show mp4 files but only if the encoding is correct - H.264. if it's in this format, you may need to set the MIME types up on the server. FF uses OGG or OGV for their video so you should look into FireFogg to convert it.
    To set up the HTML5 <video>, it should look something like the below:
    <video id="movie" width="200 height="200" preload="auto" autobuffer autoplay controls>
      <source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
      <source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
      <source src="videos/INSERT_FILE_NAME.mp4" />
    <!-- Include Flash fallback here if you like -->
    </video>
    You can include a flash fall back file afterwards for all browsers that don't support the HTML5 video tag -  such as olde IE.

  • MP3 plays fine in AS2, but not AS3

  • TS2289 Audio in iMovie 11 files but missing in sections when shared to iDVD. The movie and audio plays fine in iMovie but my burned iDVD  movie is missing some audio .

    I imported a movie into iMovie 11 from a Canon Vixia HFR 300 SD card with no problem. I have a new iMac running OsX 18.8.4 I think. I added chapter markers and shared it with iDVD. And burned it to a DVD.  Towards the end of this 30 minute movie the sound just stops. I do remember some screen came up when I wanted to burn DVD that said something was wrong with files but I couldn't figure what do to fix it and allowed me to continue. Any ideas?

    Hi
    Either the problem is in iMovie or in iDVD
    two notes
    No Audio in iMovie
    Most common origin is use of audio from iTunes.
    Work around -
    • Select needed audio to one new playlist
    • Copy out this as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3)
    • Use this in the movie-project
    Other origins are
    1. strange / alient file formats as -
    • .mp3, .avi, .wmv etc
    • Convert them into .aiff 48kHz 16-bit and use this
    2. the Mac is set wrongly in regard of midi -
    • Close iMovie and other programs
    • Start GarageBand
    • Make a new GB-project and play some notes
    • Close GB and Save
    • Now try iMovie again
    3. No audio when playback in iMovie 1 to HD 6.
    a. in iMovie pref. - deselect ” Playback via Camera”
    b. in System preferences - see that Audio out is not set to zero. Mine often does this
    without me knowing why.
    4. iMovie’08 & 09 & 11
    • Toggle audio-scimming by cmd-K
    Stuttering audio and video
    1. FileVault is ON - Turn it off
    2. More than 50 audio files in a movie-project
    Mix down to one audio clip
    3. Project is stored on one (USB) external hard disk - should be a FireWire one
    4. the External hard disk is not Mac OS Extended formatted - but
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange and this will not work for Video.
    5. To little free space on internal boot hard disk.
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space when project is imported and edited and this goes for
    4x3 SD Video. For 16x9 HD my guess would be about 5 times more at least.
    Neither Mac OS, iMovie or iDVD can address any other hard disk than the boot drive for it’s
    scratch files. (Unlike Final Cut Express/Pro where You select scratch disk/s)
    6. Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin.
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. 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.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    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’s Disk Utilities application
      •OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • Videos plays fine on camera, but stops when capturing

    Hello again folks, I have recorded about 18 minutes of talking to camera in a tuition situation and when I play it back on camera there is a small section that has got 'lost'*, but the following plays just fine for the rest of the video.  When I capture that 18 mins clip, when it gets to the bit that's lost, it freezes for several minutes and the rest of the footage and the audio are totally out of sync.
    * I assumed either the camera, a Panasonic NVGS330  mini DV machine, needed the heads cleaning, and I've bought and used a cleaning tape, and/or the tape itself has had too much use, and I need to get new tapes!
    First question; is it possible to rescue the rest of the video, given I could do without the few seconds lost as seen on the camera?  I'd like to use the rest if possible because its always hard to recreate the talk a second time...
    Second question; is it likely to be either or both the heads or the tape?  Cleaning the heads in itself didn't clear the problem.
    Umpteen thanx as always...
    Stephen

    Yes.
    Toggle the menu/Display so you can see the timecode display.
    Look for a section that returns to 00:00:00:00 after it's been counting up, this is the most common form of timecode break.
    On rare occasions you may have two numbers doubled up which also may get FCE in a twist.
    Timecode breaks are usually caused by cueing and reviewing footage on the camera and not being aware of the consequences such as TC breaks.
    Srtiping the tape with TC is one way to avoid problems. This means recording the whole tape with the lens cap on and audio to 0.

  • Video plays on iPhone 3G, but not iPhone 2G or iPod Touch 1st Gen

    Hi all,
    We're creating videos to be played on iPhones and iPod touch's. The videos are working fine on my iPhone 3Gs but won't play on my iPod touch 1st gen or a 2G iPhone. I've had a look and the supported video list is exactly the same on all iPhones and iPod touch's so I'm at a bit of a loss.
