Took a shark dive in South Africa, bought dvd recording of the trip. It¡¦s incompatible with some dvd players in the states(works with our old player but not our new). Contacted them and they sent us another dvd but still same problem.
Imported the dvd to Ulead Studio 11 and am unable to get sound. Audio track says MPEG 1 or MPEG 2 without extension bit streams. Any suggestions? Thanks!

They use PAL in South Africa and mpeg audio and you'll use NTSC in the states, which is why you are having trouble.
Does it play with audio on your pc?
You could use an app like mpeg streamclip to extract the video and audio from from the dvd. Choose dv as your end file type
You should now be able to import this dv.avi file into VS and export a rough NTSC version out and burn a dvd that will work.

Got DVD of Iguassu Falls Zodiac boat trip in Brazil. Unfortunately showed mostly 'people' and not enough of the scenery, but that's MHO.benedict3614 wrote:shark dive in South Africa, bought dvd recording of the trip.
The water level was at *SEVEN* *TIMES* the normal average. Pics from that time look *nothing* like what 's seen in average travel pics the whole friggin river was a raging rapid. The Zodiac pilot was an absolute *artist* the way he handled the boat, swerving to make waves, then 180 turn to dive up and over the wave and bury half the boat in the water. I turn around and *he's* laughing his head off and having as big a blast as we were! *NOT* for the faint of heart LOL! but I strongly recommend the adventure to anyone who goes there.Interesting, sounds like the typical audio CD incompatibility, that new 'burnt' CDs don't play on many older players. Maybe their burning hardware/software is older and incompatible with something newer?It¡¦s incompatible with some dvd players in the states(works with our old player but not our new).
Regardless, try SUPER(C). http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html It can do analysis to see what you've actually got, and then tons of different kinds of extraction and conversion. Some combination will probably work to make it more compatible.
Another option. Write to them again and ask what they used to create the DVD, hardware and software, options and settings and such. Then research potential problems/incompatibilities to find a more likely cure rather than just fudging around blindly in SUPER(C). (SUPER(C) has almost 'too many' options/combinations and without guidance/direction/focus it -might- take a long time to find the right fix.)
Have a
day!Jim
