Strange audio in iDVD

2009-08-21 Thread John Carlson


Dear Wamuggers
I have some year twelve students who have made a film using iMovie '09  
Version 8 on new imacs. They have the movie as they want it and they  
have shared it to iDVD, all this works fine until we play back the DVD  
and we hear some bits of rogue sound that is not in the project when  
we view it in iMovie. Has anyone experienced this issue or has anybody  
got any ideas.
The project gallery listing for the film has The little yellow  
Exclamation mark behind it but I unable to find out why.

Hello John,

The yellow exclamation mark indicates a missing link. Was the the  
project's name changed after it had been created?

This causes the links to the files to lose their place.

The sound problem in iDVD.  The sound played fine in iMovie?
Is iDVD preferences set to Professional Performance or Best Performance?
May be something to do with the audio file ... What format was the  
audio in ... mp3?
You get best quality audio with less problems if you use .aiff 48kHz  
16-bit


To isolate whether this is an iDVD issue, or a burning (drive/disc)  
issue. Save the iDVD project as a Disc Image (File - Save as Disc  
Image).
Then mount the disc image and play in DVD player. If the same audio  
problem is there, it possibly is an encoding issue.

If the image plays well, then it possibly is a burning issue.

Cheers,
Ronni
