Can anyone help me! I am new to video editing and bought videostudio 9. The problem I have is that when I insert my video from a DVD-VR, I only get the video and no sound. I don`t know what to do! Many Thanks

How are you getting the DVD into your computer?

I am using the mini DVD that my Panasonic VDR D100 records onto. Placing it into my DVD Drive and using videostudio 9 SE to insert the movie. (using the insert DVD/DVD-VR wizard).

Thanks

With VS open can you right-click on one of the clips, select properties and post them so that we can see what they are please?

Hi again,

Don`t know how to paste the image of my clip properties so i`ll type them in for you:

Video- MPEG-2 Video, upper field first
372 Frames
24 Bits, 704 x 576, 4:3
25 Frames / Second
Variable Bit Rate (max 9558kbps)

Audio- Dolby Digital Audio
714,240 Samples
48000Hz 2/0 (L/R
None
256kbps

I hope this helps.

Are you absolutely certain you have the full version of VS9 -- and that it is not an SE version (let alone the trial)? I ask because I suspect that a cut-down SE version might not have support for Dolby AC-3 audio...

In addition to the reply by Ken

Variable Bit Rate (max 9558kbps)

Your bit rate is way too high and not many standalone DVD players would be able to handle it. for some suggested MPEG settings please view

The bit-rate 9558 is the MAX bit-rate.
The dvd recorders use a different encoding scheme which makes them alittle
harder to work with the files because with ulead you need to know the true
"Average_Bit_Rate".

My dvd recorders when imported by ulead will show max 9558 or 9800 bit_rate.
When you view the dvd playing and watch a bit-rate analyzer the bit-rate
averages approx 4800 at Standard Recordihg speed (2 hour mode)..
There is nothing wrong with the mpeg2 files created in the Sony recorder.
It's a different encoder than what ulead uses.

Posters question:
>>>I am using the mini DVD that my Panasonic VDR D100 records onto.
>>>Placing it into my DVD Drive and using videostudio 9 SE to insert the
>>>movie. (using the insert DVD/DVD-VR wizard).

You can't hear the sound because you posted you are using Video_Studio_9 SE (special edition). That version doesn't support dolby audio I don't believe and comes bunled as an OEM package with a hardware device.
