Why is sound out of sync when I burn a DVD?

I finished a movie in iMovie 4 as I always have and opened iDVD from iMovie. After creating the opening title and burning the disk, I discovered that the sound was slightly out of sync with the image. It was fine in iMovie. Any ideas what went wrong?

Welcome to the forums.
There can be sync problems if the original video was
captured in Long Play mode or the camcorder's audio
quality is on the lower setting. You can search the
forum for other solutions, but one option to try is
Extracting the audio in iMovie. This will make a
copy of the original audio and put it on one of your
audio tracks (and mute the original audio). The
copied audio often will behave better.

Thank you, John-
Your suggestion about extracting all the audio worked. My latest DVD burn was in snyc.
I am still confused as to why such a workaround is even neccessary. I have never had this problem of out of sync audio with any other projects. Why it suddenly happened is a mystery to me. I'm very happy your suggestion worked but it is rather labor intensive if it has to be done on every project from now on.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks again.

    The best solution would be to use a DV capture utility and then import the resulting file(s) into final cut.
    Aplle itself offers capture utilities, which can be found in the Developer Firewire SDK:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305924
    You need a free Developer account and to download the SDK there. After installation you will find a new folder on your harddrive called "Developer"
    There are several capture utilities in the program section of the SDK. You want to use the one called "VirtualDV". It´s very simple, but powerful though. It does capture without sync loss, compared to capturing via the Quicktime framework, like Final Cut and iMovie do. It simply grabs the raw DV stream coming from the Firewire interface.
    After the capturing you have a Quicktime readable raw DV file, which easily can be imported to be worked with in any DV capable software.

  • Sound out of sync when capturing to External Hard Drive

    I've been trying to capture my short film footage (5 - 60 min. mini dv tapes) on FCP without the audio getting WAY out of sync. All the footage is off. Any ideas? Here's some more info: I capture the whole 60 minutes of the tape at once. (And then I was gonna split it up later.) It all looks fine through the LCD monitor as it plays, but when I look at the footage after capturing, it's way off. I have a G-Raid, 500 gig ex. h/d that is empty. I have a PowerBook G4.
    Can you capture it on your external h/d without this happening? Or do you have to capture on your internal? (which I believe, I don't have enough memory there.
    Help, please, please, please.

  • Canon HDXL1 Sound out of sync  after capture in HD when shot at 24Frames

    When shooting with the new Canon HDXL1 in HD with the frame rate set at 24Frames, the audio is way out of sync when captured in FCP using the apple Intermediate codec and HDV firewire. If I play it through the camera to a HD moniter via compnent cables, the sound is in sync. The lag only occurs when capturing in FCP. Any answers? I have been told that Apple may address this issue on their next FCP update. Am I doing something wrong?

    The audio default for the Canon XLH1 for HD is 48khz.
    In the HD 24F mode the camera records in 24fps progressive mode. During playback the signals are down converted to 60 fps interlaced using the 2:3 pulldown method.
    While recording, if the HDV/DV terminal is set to HDV output, the output signal will be in 24 fps progressive. The signal output from the HD/SDI terminal and the component out terminal will be down-converted to 6ofps using the 2:3 pulldown method. Mayber I need to use tools>remove advanced pulldown in FCP on the clips?
    Thanks for your reply

  • Sound out of sync on video on n97

    I HAVE JUST NOTICED THAT THE VIDEOS THAT I HAVE DOWNLOADED ONTO MY N97 HAVE THE SOUND OUT OF SYNC,ANY IDEA WHY AND HOW TO FIX IT?

    First off, don't SHOUT.
    Second, do the videos play correctly on a PC or other device?, maybe the video is out of sync with the audio in the file.
    Third, if the video plays correctly in other PC or device, then what's the bitrate and framerate?, maybe it's too high for the N97 to handle.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • QT breaking up and sound out of sync - cpu or ram or browser problem?

    1. I try to watch BBC news video clips but can never get anything other than the sound out of sync, the picture breaking up and what I can only try to describe as a 'delayed streaming problem' where the film jumps frames from one frame to 'much later'.
    2. Also the BBC has options of 'screen size' - I can't go to their large size so am stuck with a small version. (I don't think this is associated with the core problem.)
    I play these clips either through Media Player or Real Player but it makes no difference.
    I have flip4mac installed. I have the ATI display drivers updated.
    I hope you understand the problem.
    I hope I'll understand the answers!
    Thanks for any helps.
    Gordon

    Another thing I've just noticed is that when the news clips are downloading and playing it is only at 36kbps. I have as far as I can set preferences at 256kbps.
    I am connected to DSL but I'm not sure at what rate the ISP delivers. (I know it's the cheapest!)
    Hope this helps anyone inclined to help.
    Thanks

  • Audio out of sync when playing HD content

    Hey
    I've got an issue with the audio gets out of sync when playing some HD content. I've tried to make sure the video is stored on the Apple TV so it can't be the network connection.
    I've also tried a full reset of the unit, but still no luck.
    But it's all video clips that has this problem. Even though they encoded the same and so on, some videos audio get out of synced and some don't.
    Also have a problem with m4v files locking the ATV (and iTunes for that matter), but renaming it to a mp4 file seems to solve it. But if someone has a fix for that as well I'd much appreciate it.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Jeaz
    EDIT: I have tried to use component cables instead of HDMI, but the problem remains. Of course also tested the video on my Mac and no problems. A quick pause and resume usually solves it, but only for a minute or so.

    What sort of specification is the video content? Is spec too high for AppleTV.
    It may be that it's some kind of bug in AppleTV's playback, that the Mac does not exhibit, or an issue with encoding that causes a problem only on AppleTV.
    If you are encoding video and using same as source for the frame rate, it may be better in some cases trying explicitly to specify the frame rate required in case automatic frame rate conversion is introducing some kind of timing issue. Test a short clip to see.

  • Out of Sync when importing rendered sequence

    This is the first time I've had this happen and haven't been able to solve the problem yet and haven't found any solutions yet through searching. Using CS5.5, I'm building a show consisting of 7 or 8 already rendered sequences. All seem fine when put together, but one sequence is thrown way out of sync when I import it. The file plays fine otherwise and it isn't until it's imported into premiere that the problem occurs. I've tried re-rendering several times and get the same out of sync problems. And it eventually gets wildly out of sync, not just a few seconds. The properties of the clip are:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.5 GB
    Image Size: 1920 x 820
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:04:23:09
    Average Data Rate: 6.0 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    This is the same as all the other rendered/imported sequences. I'm at a loss here. Is there anyone who can help steer me to solving this?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Just so that everyone is on the same page, when you say "rendered," is it safe to assume that you mean that that file was Exported, and then is being Imported into a new Project?
    Good luck,

  • A portion of audio that is synced in iMovie, is out of sync when burned with iDVD. How can I avoid this?

    Thanks.

    Hi
    does it pause in different places?
    During Burn ?
    During Playback of DVD ?
    On Mac ?
    On Stand alone DVD-Player ?
    During Burn.
    What brand of DVD ?
    What type of DVD ? DVD-R or DVD+R or +/-RW - SL or DL

  • Getting multiple copies of iPhoto slideshow when I burn a dvd - why?

    I just learned how to create a slideshow in iPhoto and struggled through the learning curve to be able to burn it as it appears in iPhoto. I got so excited today when I burned a dvd and it actually played on my TV's dvd player, though it was missing the iDVD theme intro. Then when my slideshow was over, the theme intro played and the entire slideshow played again. In other words, I have at least 2 copies of the slideshow on the disc.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? thanks!

    Hi
    Most common origin to this are:
    Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
    Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
    BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
    Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
    Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
    Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
    Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
    Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
    Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
    Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
    OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.
    Yours Bengt W

  • When I burn a dvd I get wave on items that have lines in the pictures

    When I burn a dvd in imovie any stills I have that have lines on things like a shirt start to wave.

    that's because the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out) will play havoc on some colors, stripes, or other designs. You can minimize it by minimizing the effect, but unless you were to invest in professional software, I don't believe you can get rid of it altogether. It can even happen on TV - a reporter wears something that will not show well especially if he moves around and you will get some strange effects.

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.
