Help! My Movie Music Is Screwed Up!!!!, disaster....fear and loathing... Options

[tokyoroland]

I finished editing my music into my brother's movie in imovie ( the latest one ) on OSX. I burned it to dvd-r and when I play it, the sound totally screws up halfway through the movie!!! This is odd because it works just fine imovie and the qucktime movie is fine, too.

I thought it was a faulty dvd-r, but I tried another one and it did the exact same thing! help! possible errors:

1) the sound was mastered wrong. ( the girl who transferred it to cd from minidisc mastered it at a low level, so I turned up the volume ( normalized it) in Spark.

2) Maybe I didn't format the dvd-r. Do I need to?

It isn't my computer because it messes up on my external dvd player as well as when I put it in my computer and play it.

PLEASE HELP! I don't know what to do, and I really want to finish this film. Should I go back to the music and NOT normalize it??

ANY suggestions will help...

Remember that in imovie it recognizes my 41 Hz as 48 Hz.

Is that *after* you normalized it? If so, did you save the normalized file as 48 Hz? If not, there is something wrong with the file. Period. Twice now I've given you exact step-by-step things to do to start narrowing down the problem, and so far I can't see that you've actually done even one of them. Instead, each time you post there is some new wrinkle, and some other piece of vital information omitted that requires more questions. When you've done every single step I've already laid out in detail, get back to me, or maybe somebody else here can help you.

p.s. would it help to convert my music to mp3 in itunes?

That can only degrade the audio.

( the whole cd, then edit )?

CD? Now there's a "whole cd" of "music". I no longer have any idea at all what you're talking about. Good luck.
