Sound missing from Screen Capture - Help!

I use Windows Vista Home Edition with a 64-bit operating system. When I tried to capture video playing on the computer screen, Adobe Captivate 5 captured only moving images. No sound was captured. How do I need to do to capture both the images and the sound? Please help.

Hi Mukul,
Thanks again for your help. There's no dropdown in Audio Settings. Just
"Custom". The down arrow won't pull up anything. The sound card installed on
my system is Realtek High Definition Audio ALC 888S Chipset. This sound card
works fine with Camtasia Studio 7. I use a 64-bit Operating System though.
Is that what is causing problems? Please help me to sort out this sound
problem. Like I said, I want to ditch Camtasia and transition completely to
Adobe. Yesterday, I downloaded Adobe Creative Suite Master on my computer.
If I like it, I would like to purchase it. But I need to make sure they will
work fine on my computer.
One more question. I uninstalled a lot of programs the other day and
unintentionally deleted some Adobe system files. Now my .swf files won't
play on my computer. If I reinstall Adobe Captivate 5 on my computer, will I
have a problem with using the "serial number" to activate it? I have already
put this software on my desktop and my laptop.

Help please....phone icon missing from screen suddenly

Hi,suddenly I looked at my home screen and it seemed different. I noticed that the phone option is missing from the bottom of the home screen. It is usually down with the icons "mail" "safari" and "ipod". Where did it go and how can I get it back???? Thanks...

Hello szabc,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards!
ride1992 is correct. You may have moved the Phone icon to another page of your home screen. Fortunately the Phone icon is not one that can be deleted - only moved. Information for editing or resetting your home screen is found in the pages ride1992 mentioned.

Trying to increase the sound of recorded screen captures

Hi. I'm making screen capture movies with Snapz PRo 2 and they are being saved as QT movies on my desktop. When I open them in QT and try to increase the sound volume, the setting don't stick if I try to raise the volume over 0db. I read somewhere that QT won't let you save volume over 0db, is that true?
If so, does anyone know how I can increase the gain on the movies without having to load them into Final Cut or iMovie? Is there some program that will let me just edit the sound of a QT movie?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, thanks for the tips. But... I don't think I'm making myself clear here.
I don't want to spend ANY time in post with these tutorial screencasts that I'm making. If I did, I'd just whip out my Sennheiser and my mixer and take the whole shebang into FCP and cut it and sweeten audio there.
What I'm doing is using Snapz to capture screen actions that I'm recording as tutorials for my students. I'm using either a Blue Snowball USB mic or my Logitech 250 USB headset with mic to record my voice as I demo apps on the Mac. Snapz is using the Apple animation codec to make the movies. But, what Snapz is not doing and cannot do is help me boost the audio a bit. If it did, then I'd have a finished movie right there. As it is, I have to wait a long time for Snapz to finalize the flick. What I don't want to do is load the film up in FCP (takes time) and then export it (also takes time) and be done. I want to package these things up fast. All I need to do is boost the audio a little and everything would be great. If Quicktime Pro allowed me to do that, that would be great because it would not have to re-encode the movie again.
Maybe there is no way to do what I'm asking without doing it in FCP. If that's the case then that's what I'll do.
THe whole point of this is that I want to keep it as simple and as past as possible because I am not making any money doing this (but I am teaching for money). I offer it to my students as a value added addition to their classes.
Thanks,
Antonio

Creating training videos from screen captures?

Hello folks,
Is it possible to create interactive videos from a series of screen captures. I understand the preferred method is to use Captivate to record a session, however, all my software walk throughs are created in a VM and installing Captivate inside a VM is not always practical.
In the past, when I worked with RWD uPerform, I captured static screens using a really good/free tool called Gadwin screen capture. Once completed, I could add these screens into RWD, select clickable areas and RWD would do the rest by simulating clicks, motions, etc.
Is this possible in Captivate?
Thus far, my experience with Captivate involved doing direct recordings, in a manner similar to Camtasia.
Thank you.

Hi there
If you are seeking a smaller footprint (read mobile or possibly portable) version of Captivate, please request same using the Wish Form. Adobe development does pay attention to these. If enough folks request something or report a certain issue, it gains a higher priority on the list of features or fixes.
Cheers... Rick

I just tried to copy a folder to a pen drive from my mac. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. When I pulled it out it said it had not ejected correctly despite me just Doing this. The folder is now missing from both! Help

I just copied a folder from my desktop to my pen drive. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. On doing so it said it had not been ejected properly!!!!! The folder is now missing from my computer and the pen drive. Pulling my hair out please help!

When youi say Eject, the RAM copy of the Directory is written back to the drive. On a pen drive, this can take several seconds.
If you get too excited and don't wait those few seconds, the directory write will be incomplete, and the drive will lose its integrity or lose files or both.

Sound missing from half of One Step DVD

I have tried a couple times to make a one step DVD directly from my mini DV tape camera. I've done this plenty before and do not know why, but this time the sound is missing from the last half of the DVD. It is on the tape, but not the DVD.

Hi
My list on this.
*No audio on DVD disc.*
Most common origin.
1 Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2 Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
3 Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
4. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple Disk Util tool
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Our Podcast Icon is missing from iTunes - please help

Our podcast icon is missing from our Feed. Please can someone help us figure out what could be causing this.
Here is the URL to our Podcast Image
Here is the link to our Original Source Feed:
PODCAST: http://www.modtvnetwork.com/podcasts/modtv/modtv_podcast.xml
Here is the link to our Feedburner Feed:

Please can someone be in touch to let me know.

The image is correctly referenced in the feed, is the correct dimensions and within the 500kB file size limit, so you've done your part correctly.
The iTunes Store can be flaky about images: it's not that unusual for a new image to take quite a long time to appear, or for an existing one to disappear for a time. I'm afraid there isn't really much you can do about it except wait for the Store to get its act together.
You could try emailing Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com but I'm afraid you are likely to get a form response telling you how to provide an image, which you already know.

How do I change picture resolution from screen capture?

If I want to take the image on the screen in Encore CS5 and save it as a photoshop picture the resolution is 70 DPI. Is there any way to change this resolution? I would like sharper pictures if possible, 100 DPI to 200 DPI if this can be done.
Encore CS5
Core 4 2.4 ghz processor
6 GB Ram
700 GB free on hard drive
Windows 7 64 bit

I completely agree with your goal - getting as a good a resolution print as possible. But your focus on dpi for the capture of a frame will not help you.
Kind of like scanning an image. If you are going to blow it up later you want to scan at higher resolutions than if you don't. There is of course image quality versus file size issues, etc. etc. but at least I would have the option to change resolutions on capture.
Scanning at a higher resolution adds more pixels. So, for example, scanning a finely detailed 7.2 x 4.8 inch image at 300 dpi produces 2160 x 1440 pixels. Scan a grainy photograph similarly, and it will be 2160 x 1440 and look lousy. Use a 5 megapixel camera to shoot the original scene, you've got more pixels. If you have only the SD video image, all you have is the 720 x 480 pixel image. It doesn't matter how you set the dpi on capture, just that you capture all 720 x 480 pixels.
In Premier Pro CS5 and Encore CS5 the image size is 10 inches by 6.667 inches and the resolution is 72 pixels/inch.
Pulling from womble the image size is 7.2 inches by 4.8 inches and the resolution is 100 pixels/inch.
The part you are not listing is the fact that for each of those the pixel size is 720x480. As long as you capture the 720 x 480, the resolution of the image is not improved by flagging it as 72 dpi or 100 dpi. You can change that in photoshop for either of those captures, and you get a different print size, but no more or less pixels.
In either case, re-sizing the image in photoshop doesn't change the pixels/inch resolution. I want to capture the original image in as good resolution as possible rather than having to correct it after capture.
"As good resolution as possible" is 720 x 480.

Desired backup lost/missing from list, please help!

Hello there,
I've gone through a lot of topics but can't seem to find the exact same situation as mine. Please forgive me if I'm duplicating.
I have been using an iPhone 3G with iOS 4 and I wanted to downgrade it back to 3.1.3. Because I know that the iPhone 4 will be released where I live in a week's time, what I wanted to do was to do a backup, so that my SMS'es and other data can be saved from today till the day I get my iPhone 4.
I understand that if I go back to 3.1.3, I won't be able to restore any backups that I've done since I upgraded to iOS 4.
Here's what happened today.
5:21PM
I synced my iPhone 3G and just to make sure, I also right-clicked on my iPhone 3G and performed a backup
5:23PM
The backup completed
So I downgraded my iPhone 3G using the method from this site.
http://lifehacker.com/5572003/how-to-downgrade-your-iphone-3g%5Bs%5D-from-ios-4- to-ios-313
All went well. At the point where I was asked to 'Setup as a new iPhone' or 'Restore from the backup of XXX', I simply unplugged the iPhone (because I had to go out for dinner).
So the iPhone was working with 3.1.3 just fine.
Came back around 8PM, plugged my iPhone to my MacBook and iTunes showed the same screen, asking me to 'Setup as a new iPhone' or 'Restore from the backup of XXX'.
8:06PM
So, I thought, I should select 'Setup as a new iPhone', clicked on it, then nightmare! Because I remembered seeing from somewhere that the latest sync (in this case setting up a new iPhone) will automatically erase the latest backup.
8:07PM
The set up on a new iPhone was completed. I quickly checked iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Backup to see if the latest backup I wanted to keep was there or not. And indeed the 5:21PM back was wiped.
Now showing the following backups
iPhone 3G - 23/07/2010 8:50 PM
iPhone 3G Test (this is the one where I was mucking around with the files and changing the log)
XXX's iPhone 3G - 01/06/2010 1:31 PM
XXX's iPhone 3G - 23/06/2010 7:55 AM
XXX's iPhone 3G - Jul 18, 2010 8:26 PM
XXX's iPhone 3G - Jun 24, 2010 5:37 AM
I really should have made a copy of that backup from 5:21PM and kept it somewhere before clicking on 'Setup as a new iPhone'. But it's already too late.
Can anyone please help me restore my backup that was created in the first place (the one at 5:21PM)? I'm willing to go back to iOS 4 for this matter. If it would help for me to post any screen shots of the folders and files, please let me know. I'll upload them somewhere and post the links in later replies. Because I've upgraded it since it was released, there's too much data to lose, especially my SMS'es. Please help~ Thank you so much in advance!
Best regards,
88kin

Sound missing from one clip when dvd made

I am using the current version of iMovie. When I burn a DVD via iDVD (and save to Mobileme) I have one clip where the voice track drops out. This clip was filmed at the same time as others and plays fine in iMovie. I've tried replacing the clip with the original but that does not help. Any thoughts?

I just tried detaching the audio but this did not fix the sound issue for this clip.

Weird sound coming from my ipod, help

My ipod has just frozen and it's emiting a high-pitched sound (not throught the ear phones, but directly from the device itself). What do i do? I'm going crazy with this sound.

Run an Apple Hardware Test to see if it picks up any anomalies.
I would open the MBP and inspect the internal components with emphasis on the fan, as suggested by dalstott.
Also make certain that you data is backed up. Though you HDD is not in the upper left hand corner, I don't discount that as a possibility.
If your purchase date is less than 12 months ago you are still under warranty. I would then take to Apple and have them perform diagnostics to determine what the problem may be.
Ciao.

Startup Disks missing from Preference Pane - Help!

I have my Macbook partitioned with boot camp and I can start up in both Windows or OSX by holding down the option key and I get to choose my system.
However, in my preference pane for Startup disk, they only option that appears is Network Startup. Neither OSX or Windows appears there. This has only occurred since the last update. I haven't changed anything in my system in months.
So I now have to wait for an extra 2 min or so, while the macbook searches the network for a bootable drive before it finally decides to start in OSX.
Anyone have any ideas how to get my drives back in the Startup Disk preference pane?
Any help you can provide would be welcome.
Thanks.

Oh, I wish that had worked, but unfortunately they do not appear with any other user either.
I really don't want to do a complete reinstall of both systems. I hope I can figure out another way to fix this.

My cursor display (arrow) on my Mac disappears from view on Firefox only. Safari and all other software reveals the arrow, it's just missing from Firefox. Help! This is my access of choice!

I had several things open on my laptop: Firefox, Safari (it opens automatically when I click a link in an e-mail), Mail. I was bouncing among all these places when I realized my cursor (arrow) wasn't showing up ... but only when I was in Firefox. I have set up all my usual accounts (facebook, Google+, Flickr, LinkedIn, etc.) using Pin Tabs, but I've had that for a few months.
I don't know if this is a Mac issue or a Firefox issue--I'm thinking the latter because the problem occurs only when I'm using Firefox.

I should note that while it is Ff 8.0.1 I use, I'm on OS X 10.7 / Lion, not 10.6 as noted above. More precisely, I use 10.7.2 but am not clear if the problem only appeared with the .2 update.
