White flashes in iDVD

I made a huge iMovie in HD--1:25 in length. When I first sent it to iDVD, the audio sync was off near the end. I was able to fix that, but now when I preview it in iDVD there are two places where the screen goes white for a second. When I check my iMovie, the white flashes are not there! The white flashes are not at transitions or chapter markers, but after a title put over a clip. I sent the iMovie to iDVD by dragging it. Anybody else experience this and have an explanation?

Sometimes the Preview function in iDVD doesn't work exactly right. Try Saving as a Disc Image from iDVD and then use Apple's DVD Player to see if the video functions correctly. "Save as Disc Image" creates a virtual DVD on your desktop that you can Copy to a physical disc using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility.

  • White flash during iDVD transitions?

    Whenever I apply a transition to a button (play movie, select chapter, etc.), I get a short, white flash before the next video plays. Doesn't seem to matter what type of transition I apply (fade to black, push, etc.).
    How can I alleviate this issue?
    Many thanks.
    Jeff

    Thanks Sue... not sure that's it as I don't think I'm working with a slide show. I simply choose a theme to start... import a video (or two, etc.)... then select a transition for the button. If the transition takes me to the start of the movie (be it dissolve, fade to black, etc.), there is a momentary white flash, then the movie starts. Kinda annoying. I'll read up on the slide shows.

  • I get one bright white flash in iDVD

    After I import a Quicktime movie into iDVD and then play it, I get one very short white bright flash in the beginning of the movie.
    How do I get rid of this flash?

    You might try removing the first frame or two from the beginning of the QT movie and add it again to the iDVD project.  Be sure to remove the movie from the project before editing it.

  • Black/white flash at end of iDVD transition

    Why am I getting a black (or white) flash consistently after a transition from iDVD menu to movie?

    One thought. Take a look at your timeline in your original imovie project. If your audio comes first without any video attached to it, that can cause the flash. If that's not the case, try shaving one or two frames off your video, then reimport your project into idvd. That might take care of it. Good luck. And let us know how it turns out.

  • White flashes in qt7 playback

    hello all.
    I've noticed recently when I'm watching video in qt7, all avi's I'm pretty sure. there's randomly every so often a white flash, very quick, like a flash bulb. I've gone back in vids to see if it's in the vid itself, and it's not. I haven't timed them out yet to see if it's happening at regular intervals, I'd say it's no more than every 10-20 min at most. figured maybe someone here would have some info.
    thanks.

  • White flash when previewing movies on full screen

    Sometimes, when previewing my current editable movie project on the full screen I see a brief white flash at the end. Any idea why this is, please, and can it be avoided? No problem, I guess, if it does not appear in the final iDVD version or on the burnt DVDs. Thanks, Keith.

    Hello, Keith,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    Some users reported a brief white flash in association with a transition. Is yours related to a transition? The 'cure' was to move the playhead frame by frame until you see the white flash, then 'split video at playhead' to isolate the flash. Usually it is only a frame or two in duration, and you can delete it.
    If it is with a transition, you will have to delete the transition, find the white flash frame, delete it and redo the transition.
    Post back if this is not helpful.

  • White flash after title clips

    I am getting a white flash on the screen after every title in my movie. It only shows on the DVD after burning from iDVD. White flashes do not show on screen in imovie.

    I've had problems like this, but it showed during the preview in iMovie. My "solution" was to delete and then redo the titles.

  • Quick white "flash" at beginning of exported flash file

    i've created something i've exported to a flash file that is embedded into an html file. when i load it (on a black background -- color doesn't matter) i get a quick but noticeable white flash just before the animation itself begins.
    the background of the file is black. it seems as though keynote is inserting a frame before the actual layout even begins to load.
    anyone know a way around this?
    thanks!
    mike

    When is this happening? Please indicate whether it is during the playing of:
    -the preview in iDVD,
    -a disk image,
    -or a burned DVD.

  • White flash frame at chapter start

    Hello,
    I have a Mac G5 with FCP HD 5.0.4. It came with iDVD 4.0.1. I wonder if you can help me with my problem.
    When I create an iDVD project, I get a brief freeze, then a white flash frame at the start of every chapter (scene selection). Same for "play movie" (the automatic chapter 1).
    I found advice online pertaining to the same problem with iMovie and iDVD - so I thought I would give it a shot with FCP. I export my FCP sequence (best quality QT movie) without chapter markers. Then I import the single file into a new FCP project, add chapter markers and export it again - to drop into my iDVD project. But no change. Still the white flash frames.
    I have iMovie 4.0.1 - but it only does short movies. My project is about 60 minutes.
    Do I need to upgrade to iLIfe, DVD Studio Pro, iMovie HD?
    Thanks,
    Mikado1

    Hi Sue,
    Thanks for this.
    Two problems. First, I don't have iMovie HD - I have iMovie 4.0.1.
    I tried your idea (with a short clip). I exported QT movie from FCP HD (best quality, no chapters) into iMovie. Then I exported the no chapter QT movie iMovie to desktop. Then I imported the QT movie to an iMovie new project, added chapters and created an iDVD project from iMovie.
    Same problem. I never get to the burning stage. The "freeze then flash frame" problem at the beginning of all chapters is in the preview.
    My iMovie 4.0.1 doesn't accept my 60m film (too long) - so I'll need another solution anyway.
    I tried reinstalling iDVD 4.0.1 - but still the same problem.
    At this point I'm willing to upgrade to something else. Sounds like I'm better off with iDVD vs DVD Studio Pro, given my current knowledge. I shouldn't need iMovie HD, if I have FCP HD already?
    By the way, the QT movie export of my project plays fine with QT player.
    Thanks so much,
    Mikado1

  • White flash on screen before chapter plays

    Hi,
    In a project in iDVD '08, when selecting a chapter from the chapter menu screen, there is a white flash before a clip plays. This happens whether a button transition is on or off.
    Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!

    Figured it out- this is an issue with the iDVD preview function. The white flash was not present on the disc image I burned.

  • My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

    I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
    I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
    What is wrong and what should I do?

    Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
    The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
    Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

  • Black screen with white flashing line on startup

    ~computer info~
    Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
    2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    24 in. Montior
    Startup disk: Macintosh HD
    ~Partition info~
    FAT32 Windows XP
    ~issue~
    Hello; I've recently encountered a problem with bootcamp that I can't find a solution to... Every time I start up the computer in boot camp, all I get is that black screen with the white flashing line. It comes up, goes to a plain black screen, then quickly comes up again. It never stops, either. I've let it run, and it won't finish.
    I've had the partition for MONTHS now, and nothing like this has happened. I've had it since I upgraded to Snow Leopard awhile back, and needed to re-partition the drive. I literally had been using it the day before it happened, and the only thing that happened was that I got that "Windows Security 2011" malware, but I got rid of it fully (As I've gotten it 3 times this month). The other two times I got it, it didn't do anything. I fixed it, and went on with life. But is it possible that it broke something in the partitions inner files this time?
    I ran disk utility, and it said the partition was broken. After verifying it and confirming this, I did "Repair Drive", as it allowed me to. It finished with no errors and said it completed, so I tried to go back into the partition, but it gave me the same results.
    To be honest, most of my stuff is on my External Harddrive, so re-doing the partition is only going to be time used to me. But I still DO have things on there, and it'd be a pain to transfer them back and forth between the Mac and Windows partitions... I'd really like to know if there's anyway to fix this, or if it's just going to fall back to me re-partitioning the drive...
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    That blinking line is a "cursor."  It's only supposed to show for a second or two as your iMac switches to and then starts Windows.  But as you indicate here, it's not getting past the cursor..
    Disk Utility can repair FAT volumes, but it cannot correct issues caused by corrupted items which, if the volume was repaired, there may be some.
    Since we are dealing with a Windows boot partition, it's entirely possible that the repairs inadvertently corrupted the data Windows needs to start and run.  It's also posible that Mac OS, in fixing the Boot Camp volume, overwrote the existing boot record in the Windows partition with a generic, though non-bootable version.
    Windows' own CHKDSK should have been used to make the repairs rather than the OS X Disk Utility, which would have avoided this worst-case scenario in data recovery.  CHKDSK has a special version of itself on the Windows disc, which may be accesed by using the Windiws Recovery Consile upon pressing R during the "Welcome to Setup" screen.
    Though it appears ftom my position here that you will need to reinstall XP, it may yet be possible to recover data that hasn't been copied to the external HDD.  For this task, I'd like to recommend that you start up in Mac OS for the time being, and pull any new or changed items from the Boot Camp volume except for installed software; the latter are nearly impossible to transport with reasonable accuracy, and should instead be reinstalled.
    Once you have what you need, format your Boot Camp volume and reinstall Windows, this time selecting NTFS as your filesystem.  NTFS is the preferred option for Windows in general, thiaks to its innate file access controls as well as the ability to compress or encrypt data "on the fly."  NTFS can be read by Mac OS X, but not written from it, thus NTFS volumes cannot be altered except by Windows itself..  But it is also a requirement if you plan to upgrade your unit using Windows 7 in future.

  • Oracle forms display bright white flash when transitioning between forms.

    We recently migrated an application from Oracle Application Server to WebLogic and we are noticing that in the WebLogic environment while transitioning between forms there is a quick bright white flash that has caused several complaints. We are not sure if this is related to a performance issue which may be preventing the form from painting quick enough or if there is a configuration problem somewhere. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
    We are running WebLogic Server Version 10.3, Fusion Middleware 11gR1, and Oracle DB 11.2

    Unfortunately we don't have any errors to work off of. The application works fine, it's just that their is a very short delay when transitioning from one form to another and during that transition the whole form turns bright white which has caused users to complain that it could cause an epileptic seizure. I assumed maybe there was some performance tuning/caching that could be done to make it so it loaded quicker. Our DBA team recieved a response from Oracle support stating that although the forms themselves are relatively unchanged, due to the underlying software changes in 11g we are to expect some differences compared to previous versions. We have since set background in formsweb.cfg to use a light grey image which seems to be more acceptable for our users.

  • Ie white flash blink solution

    hi,
    just wanted to share that i've managed to get the menu to
    work well in firefox, safari and chrome but in ie6 and sometimes in
    7 it was blinking a white flash when changing between the menu
    items.
    to solve it all i had to do is remove this line from my code:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    even when it was commented it was still doing it. i also
    tried it with a combination adding the UTF8 attribute into the tag
    but only removing it helped.
    cheers,
    aaron.

    I dont see anything flashing in IE7, FF, i only see the arrow
    disapearing and showing on mouseover in IE6. or is this what u
    mean?
    Also im seeing your using /* SpryMenuBar.js - Revision: Spry
    Preview Release 1.4 */ <-- 1.4
    I suggest downloading version 1,6 and check if the problem is
    still there.

  • Flv "white flash" in between videos playing when button pressed.

    I am currently working on a catalyst project whereby the buttons pressed play different sections of an animation. My problem is that the animation flashes white for a split second in between pressing the button and the video playing. Does anyonyone know how to eliminate this white flash? Would really appreciate any help,
    Cheers,

    Hello all,
    Yes to follow up Ben, I'm experiencing the exact same problems as him. I changed browser to Firefox 3.0.11 a couple of months ago and hence downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox. I noticed the issue straight away in Youtube, but not on other sites. As I attributed the problem to Firefox, I then downloaded Opera 9.64 - but experienced the same problem. This led me to believe the issue was the Flash plugin, as both browsers are served by the same Adobe plugin for 'alternative browsers' to IE.
    I then tried IE6 again in youtube and it didn't have the problem on standard view, however the problem was (and still is) occurring in full screen view. I'm nearly 100% sure this problem didn't occur before I downloaded the Flash plugin for Firefox / Opera. Regardless of whether that is the issue, the problem was definitely not happening on my system in IE6 earlier this year.
    As Ben said, my computer is fairly old but well managed and up to date. OS is Windows 2000 SP4, system is AMD Athlon 900 (slot A), 512 Mb RAM, 16Mb Voodoo 3 graphics, m/board MSI MS-6191.
    I've also tried removing the Flash plugin for Firefox/Opera and for IE6 and reinstalling it but had no joy there either. I would try an updated version of IE too but IE6 is the last version compatible with Win 2k.
    Any help appreciated, thanks.
