VS9 Trial - No sound on DVD import

ColonelK · Post by **ColonelK** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:30 pm

Hi

I used my Panasonic DMR E65 to copy my wedding video onto DVD-R. It plays fine in both the DVD recorder and on my PC. Now I want to edit it, to bring it from the 90's (and bad bad genlock graphics) into the 21st Century !!

So I downloaded VS9 to try it out.

From VS9 I imported the DVD which seemed to work fine, except that I cannot hear any sound at all if I preview whats been imported.

Spec of the machine is:

Athlon 64 3500+
1Gig RAM
MSI K8N Neo 2 (NForce 3 ultra 250) Mainboard
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard (latest 4_193 signed WXP drivers)
Win XP SP2 with all the patches.
200Gb HDD etc etc
NEC 3500 DVD writer.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

As a last resort I could try the onboard sound chip instead of teh Turtle Beach card, but I'd rather not to be honest.

If I can get it to work I'll buy VS9. Simple as that.

Hi,

I don't have the trial, but one question would be what is the audio in the DVD?

If it is AC3 - the trial copy might not read it. Check the readme in the trial documentation.

The trial does not want to play AC 3 Digital Dolby.
You can capture to AC 3.
Create a video file using AC 3.
But you cannot listen to the audio using the trial version.

It seems ludicrous that you can make a Digital Dolby Mpeg, so why have ulead stopped the playback??????????????????

it can capture ac3 because it's the native audio of the source. it can save a video file in natvie dolby if the video clip is not edited. if the video clip is edited even once it will downsample the audio to 2 channel stereo. the reason the trial version does not play back the dolby, is because the decoder is what costs money to license...hence why it's not included.

I can capture from my TV tuner, select Pal dvd as a template, then select AC 3 as an audio.

I can edit the mpeg and rerender selecting Digital dolby as the audio template.

I have the ulead AC 3 digital dolby plugin.

Why does that not work with the trial version? but works ok with VS 8

The AC plugin is only for VS8.

VS9 comes with AC3 built in

Are you saying then that if I buy the full version that it will work?

Thanks

Yes

All the indications are from this forum is that AC 3 Digital Dolby is part of Video Studio Version 9

Others that have bought version 9 will confirm this.

It just that it does not function correctly with the Trial Version

Ebuyer have it for around £35 quid in the UK.
