Why, after many great burns, is part of audio now missing?

I edited in FCE HD, exported to QT (self contained & reference movies) and burned several successful DVD's in iDVD6 with chapters. I decided to add a 'behind the scenes' segment to my movie but it made the finished DVD pixaled at transitions, so I decided to add the 'behind the scenes' segment to the end of my movie timeline to save space. From that point on, part of my audio was dropped in the burn process, at the same exact point each time in my movie. I've since taken out the 'behind the scenes' but the problem persists. Nothing has changed to my knowledge. The audio on the timeline is one long clip since I've made it self-contained, so how is this even possible to cut out only a portion of the audio at the precise same spot each time? I thought it might be a software issue so I trashed iDVD and reinstalled it, but still the audio is silent at the same point in my movie. I've seen other post and read suggestions regarding the loss of ALL audio but none like this. iDVD6 is the only burn program I have currently because of limited funds. Please, if you have any ideas that I can try, throw them my way. I'm over the edge...
oh yeah...and the movie plays perfectly, audio and video, in FCE, QT, and even in iDVD when I make the menu for the DVD before I burn it.

Hi
a. From FCE/P I do
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• NO QuickTime conversion (Important)
• Not Selfcontained (Saves time and space - Not important)
b. There has to be a minimum of 25Gb free space on the internal/boot hard disk (IMPORTANT)
Else - my trouble shooting list
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
Yours Bengt W

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

IMovie: Some parts of audio is missing when export?

When I play it inside iMovie, it works.
But then when it is export, either to iTunes, YouTube or MP4 format,
some parts of the audio is missing.
What should I do?

Looks like the 8.0.4 update to IPhoto may have broken its "share to iDVD" and Export functionality. There are a few Apple.com discussions on this topic.
I found that if I chose "Play each slide for a minimum of x seconds" and altered the duration of showing some slides, the audio would be missing when I exported the slideshow to iDVD.
However, using exactly the same music track from iTunes, if I chose the option to "Fit slideshow to music" then the audio worked perfectly when I exported to iDVD.
Dear Apple, can this please be fixed?

I've installed the FF version 4 and it has paralysed my access to McAfee so I'm worried I can't get my updates. I'm thinking I'll go back to IE after many great years with FF

I'm a bit sick of this, I'd just like an answer before I uninstall for good!

Are you saying that a McAfee extension for Firefox is disabled because its incompatible with Firefox 4?
Is so, see McAfee for an updated version of that extension.
Beyond that, Firefox shouldn't affect McAfee at all.

It sounds like ytou saved all those projects in CS5.5. Those files are not backward compatible -- you need to export to .idml from 5.5 be able to open in CS5 (and there are still some potential Gotchas).

I am making multiple DVD's of roughly 50 hours of footage on DVD Studio pro with 4 separate menus for 4 different 'parts' or series if you will. 50 hours - 20 episodes - 4 parts of 5 episodes each. What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's, what is the process, what size DVD RW should I buy, what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn. Any advice or insight is welcome.

>>What are my options in terms of burning these parts on to separate DVD's<<
20 episodes totaling 50 hours equals about 2.5 hours per episode assuming all episodes have the same duration. Fitting 2.5 hours onto one single layer DVD would require a low bit rate which means quality wouldn't be anywhere near best, but that's a judgement call you'll have to make based on several factors. For example; if there is not much motion in the video (talking heads, etc), you can get by with a lower bit rate and may not notice any quality difference.
>>what is the process>>
The process is essentially the same as it is when authoring a regular DVD with 2 hours or less of content. However, with as many discs as you'd need to complete this "set," you'll need to create a separate DVD Studio Project for each disc. Basically, you'd use one of Compressor's DVD Presets (or customize a preset) to create an MPEG--2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.AC3). Import both of those assets into your DVD Studio Pro project for authoring and burning.
If you want to keep one episode per disc, DVD Studio Pro does have a 150 minute preset or you could use dual-layer discs with a higher bit rate for better quality. Again; your call.
>>what size DVD RW should I buy<<
Size? 12cm. Capacity? Single layer, single sided DVD discs (DVD-5) have a rated capacity of 4.7Gb (4.37Gb actual), including menus. If you use single layer discs and want to keep the quality reasonably good, you'd need at least 50 discs to complete this "set" with each disc holding roughly 2 hours of footage if you keep the menu on each disc simple. Or, you could use dual-layer discs (DVD-9) which have a capacity of about 7.95Gb - almost doubling the recordable capacity. There are also dual-sided, dual-layer discs available (DVD-18) but they are relatively expensive and have to be manually turned over to continue playback ... but they do have roughly 15.9Gb capacity.
>>what bitrate should I use, and what quality I should expect for the burn<<
Exactly; the quality is dependent on the bit rate chosen, as well as the quality of the compression. Using compression markers where needed can greatly increase the quality of playback but will most likely increase the file size of the compressed video. For the best quality, keeping the bit rate as high as possible allowed under the DVD specification will yield the best quality but some DVD players may choke if the bit rate is too high. For best quality I typically aim for a bit rate around 7.6 to 8.0Mbps but that will only allow about one hour of footage.
Naturally, if you decrease the bit rate, you can fit more footage onto the disc but quality will be sacraficed.   Here's a chart approximating DVD bit rates and durations for single layer discs (does not include space for menus):
3.5Mbps - 120 minutes
5.0Mbps -   95 minutes
6.0Mbps -   82 minutes
7.6Mbps -   65 minutes
8.0Mbps -   60 minutes

After many emails and letter that is was time to upgrade we went into verizon to upgrade.. after 2 hours of picking phones etc. we are charged $30 per phone to upgrade. Nowhere was this advertised.. want my money back!!!!

After many messages and letters that is was time to upgrade our phone we went to the verizon store.. After 2 more hours of picking phones (not the flip one I so wanted) we get to the pay part and find out we are now charged $30 per phone to upgrade??? What??? No where on any advertisements or anywhere in the store is this stated...I have called, texted, emailed and complained to everyone and have been promised a refund time after time yet nothing has been credited to my account yet. I have been with Verizon for 15 years and this will be my last upgrade with them... and just try to get a real person on the phone!!!

A) it IS posted this has been proven. Tell you what go back to that store take your camera and take pictures of the price tags on the phones then post them here showing us that the fee isn't on the price tags.
B) READ your contract before signing. Why people don't do this is beyond me.
C) What cruddy service does he have? No way he has a smartphone. Sorry didn't get a 100% free phone. Seriously that sounds really entitled. My son upgraded his phone to a LG Lucid. It was 97 cents plus the upgrade fee with taxes and all came to $35. Do I feel "ripped off" because he got a phone that retails for $450 for $35? Nope. Why should I feel ripped off for a 92% discount?

I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

Why sign many contract, I'm only using what I am told to use.?

Why have many signins for all the product needed for a computer? I only use what I purchase & the parts used to operate my machine. It's a vehical of communication only to me. I really don't need to sign for every item for the vehical to operate propertly. You & I know it's like a car with many parts. Please make it simple rather than making me a machinist on a computer.
For new parts, be like an autopart's store. All they need is my name, address, phone number, make & modle of what I have and the part from you I need to purchase, whether it's hardware or software. <Removed by Moderator> Thanks for your coming answer.

1stAdobeContact which Adobe product or service are you referring too? I have also removed your e-mail address from your previous post as this is a public forum.

Anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, after guarantee period expiry the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs? CDs run

Can anyone provide accurate info on why after 1 yr, ( just after guarantee period expiry) the DVD player on our I mac running Intel core duo processor with OS 10.6.8 refuses to run DVDs?
CDs run without problem and until recently the DVD we have (all original no pirated copies) ran; we have used a CD cleaner disc to no avail.

Welcome to the Apple boards:
I suggest an erase and install and use your backup for any important files you have.
Did you perform a disk check/repair and permissions repair and a PRAM zap before updating? While not required, they are usually necessary to avoid issues.
There are so many reasons for a bad install, that it is impossible to list them all.
Out-of-date software, drivers, etc, haxies, and other software can cause problems.
My three updates were without incident, so it is possible for a perfect update, but unless you supply us with details about your previous system, programs, apps, drivers, etc., it is not possible to figure out what happened.
Again, whenever installing an update to an OS, a clone or other full backup is absolutely necessary, as reading the posts on this board indicate.

Sudden "unsupported image format" after using Dodge & Burn Plugin

After using Dodge & Burn plugin for first time (seems great) one of the images suddenly turned into "unsupported image format" in Aperture. Just happened to one but its a critical one so I need to figure it out. Any thoughts?
Thanks - Robert robert (at) robertholland (dot) com

if you keep the console open when you're editing these photos and the "unsupported image format" message comes up, you'll notice that Aperture is throwing malloc errors on the console. this means that while its trying to load the image, it is running out of RAM. the core problem here is that Aperture can't address more than 2GB of RAM and i think the only way that Apple can address this problem is by moving to a 64-bit version of Aperture. it would be really nice if this issue was addressed in a 2.2 release sometime soon as this happens to me all the time now after round-tripping an image to Photoshop.
i would not expect to have to quit and restart a professional photography application every time i finish editing an image.
Good to know. But I don't expect a .2 upgrade to be 64bits, a next major version of Aperture is more likely to be 64bits (Aperture 3), considering AP 2 is at the end of its development cycle and a new major release is due before summer.

Alignment Issues with Buttons after disc is burned

I have a Widescreen project that I set in iDVD 6, and everything looks great on the preview. Once I burned it out to a disc and played it in another DVD player, the highlight marks for the buttons were distorted out to the left or right, depending on the original placement of the button. Is this a glitch they fixed in 6.02, or is there a button setting that controls this?

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
Is this a glitch they fixed in 6.02,
You should always keep all software up-to-date!!! Including QuickTime.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5

Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5 this was a great feature that is now gone. The burn feature allowed me to back up with full event sections. Keeping everything organized. Now all the DVD I burned prior don't show up in the SHARED folder in iphoto 9.5 Mavericks. You have to import blindly.Not Happy!!!!!

No, you don't import those. Copy them to the Desktop, run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library and open with iPhoto. If you want any of the photos to be copied into your working library you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the desired albums or events across.

How to run selected sequences/steps after the great-grandparent, the grandparent and the parent sequence ?

Hi,
I developped a sequence file with many levels of interlinked subsequences, and I want to be able to run selected subsequences/steps after the great-grandparent, the grandparent and the parent sequence.
Anyone know the best method to do this ?

Indeed, there was an little error in the sequence file. You can find the corrected file in attachment.
Run the selected step "Grandparent 2" doesn't do what I require because this run all sequences under "Grandparent 2", while I want to run "Parent 2.2" and "Child 2.2.2" under "Grandparent 2".
