Image And Sound Stops At Certain Point In Playback

[Gazou]

Hi,

 

I am new on this forum. I wanted to know if someone could help me with this weird problem. I've looked around the forum but didn't see the same problem.

 

OK so I encoded a .mov archive so I can burn DVD afterward. The encoding went just fine. Then I mounted the image to see if everything went right.

 

Now when I watched the movie, everything went fine until around 25% of timeline. At that point, the image frezeed and sound continued for around a minute before stopping too. The curious thing is that the program didn't just crash, the time line continued to run with the last freezes image until the end. (I could come back before the freeze point and watch the beginning without problem)

 

Then I checked the image file, mounted as a data DVD. I open the video_ts folder and checked every files (4). The problem was identical to when I watched it on DVD. Even the 3rd and 4th files had the freezes images that didn't correspond to that part of the movie.

 

 

 

In the time I wrote this message, I figured I could by-pass this problem by exporting different sequences from Final Cut and putting them in the right order in toast.

 

Still... it's a temporaly solution, I will need to fix this problem.

 

Thanks

What are the specs of the video exported from Final Cut? Which OS are you running? What you experienced shouldn't have happened. I wonder if the same thing happens with a different video.

Hi,

 

Thanks for response,

 

From FC, I exported to quicktime movie wich I think exports with the same settings as my sequence (720 * 480, 29,97 fps, 48.0 KHz, 32-bit, pixel aspect is NTSC - CCIR 601)

 

I am running on Mac OS X (10.6.6)

 

I also have problems with video playback (with .mov files, either on QT player than with VLC). The video freezes at certain points (always the same point but not necessary the same point that toast freezes). I don't know if it has something to do with this.

 

Thanks again

Have you tried burning a video DVD from this and checking it on a DVD player? I'm wondering if this is a problem with your Mac's graphics unit rather than with Toast.
