I have been using ulead video studio version 11 +
for 2 months ( i purchased in Feb 2008) i originally installed it into my vista machine , it worked okay
but starting 2 days ago, it cannot complete the DVD burning process
So I try installing it into my XP system
the dvd creation (16:9) is working, but the audio was missing
i render the clip to an avi file and use other dvd burning software
they worked, but not the Ulead

can anyone help ?

appreciate inputs

You haven't supplied any helpful information, except to say you rendered to an AVI file and tried to burn that to a DVD

AVI is not a DVD-compatible file. It must be an MPEG-2 file.

I tried rendering to mpeg2 from the VSP file but a window showed up stating the program has stopped responding after about 15%

It appears that Video Studio is having trouble decoding your AVI file. (It's almost always a decoding problem... Video Studio has no trouble encoding to DVD compatible MPEG-2 with any of the compliant audio formats.)

Maybe you should use the other software, or a combination of both programs. (I almost always use more than one audio/video program when I'm working on a project... Sometimes Video Studio is not one of them.)

"AVI" is not a single format. It is a "wrapper" or "container" format, and it can contain audio/video with any compression scheme.

You didn't say where the file came from, but if you can re-capture to a less-compressed format, that will probably solve your problem. The more-compressed formats like AVI/DivX are the most trouble-prone. AVI/DV (13GB per hour) is the most trouble-free format.

If you can't re-capture, You can try converting your file to MPEG-2 with SUPER (FREE!!!). Since you are making a DVD, you should select DVD-compatible MPEG-2 options (resolution, framerate, bitrate, etc). You can get these settings from your Video Studio Project Settings.

If you still have trouble with the audio, SUPER should be able to make a separate WAV file. (Uncompressed WAV is the most trouble-free audio format).
