Three laptops, ASUS, HP and Apple, can play music CDs but not DVD sound captured and authored with dvdmf. Video OK just no sound. The DVD plays properly on my main computer and the home DVD player. Is there something special about laptops and the inability to play DVD ISO image sound?

OK I got the apple to work but no luck with the other 2. Any hints?

No. This should be a function of your DVD-player software.

What DVD-player software are you using? Do commercial DVDs play OK? Is this just a problem when playing ISO files... Do actual burned DVDs work OK?

What format is your audio? PAL DVDs can have LPCM, Dolby (AC3), or MPEG-2 audio. NTSC DVDs can have either LPCM or Dolby. (NTSC players are not required to play MPEG-2 audio).

Thanks for replying Doug. These 2 laptops actually belong to a friend of mine who I did some video to DVD conversion using MF5. I found out yesterday that commercial DVDs do not play sound either, so it is obviously not a problem with MF5. I told him I could no longer help him and said he should do back to the manufacturer, as they were both newish. Thanks for the input.
