Importing DVD-VR with Video Studio 9 (SE edition)...

Hi,

I read a lot of post in this forum, about sound problem when importing DVD-VR in VS9 (SE edition). I got the same problem.

I record a program on DVD disk from my stand alone DVD recorder (Liteon, model lvw-1107hc1). Afther that, when I want to import it in VS9 (SE edition), I got no sound after the import procedure.

I want to know what were the better option for me :

- Only buying the plug-in AC-3 for got sound

- Upgrade for the full version of Video Studio

Last thing to note, I want to import also the subtitle (closed caption), it's important to me...

Thanks !

If your recorder uses AC3, then you need to upgrade to the full version of VS10 or VS10+. As far as I know, there is no plug-in. (There was a plug-in for VS8.)

Video Studio does not directly support subtitles or closed captions, so you'll have to experiment.

Do the subtitles show-up on the DVD from the DVD recorder?

--- "Closed captions for the hearing impared" are created from text embedded in the image. This technique is used on broadcast and on video tape. Closed captions are turned on & off from the TV. I believe it's possible to put closed captions on a DVD, but it's rare.

--- Subtitles" are separate bitmap images (sub-pictures) on a DVD, and they are embeded in the MPEG file (VOB file) as a separate "stream", in the same way as audio streams. Subtitles are turned on & off from the DVD player.

I'm just guessing here... There is a chance that the captions might remain if they exist in the imported MPEG file. If so, they may be lost if the MPEG is edited... i.e. if you apply a color filter, or do anything that will cause the MPEG to recoded.

Yes, the subtitles show-up on the DVD from the DVD recorder. To do so, I put on the Closed Caption option on my TV, and my TV decode it well. I also test it in another DVD player, and my TV decode it well too.

If i understand well, straight away I edit the MPEG, like removing ads (commercial), I lost the closed caption, is that right ? If yes, I must extract the subtitle from my DVD disk...
