No Audio

[Taurus29474]

Hi, Please help...... I've just made my first attempt of transferring my camcorder tapes to DVD using the video studio pro 3, all seemed to be going well until I tried playing them in my DVD player, you can watch the DVD but there's no sound however, if I play the DVD in my laptop it plays as it should (sound and vision). Can anyone please advise me on what has gone wrong and how to correct this? Thanks.

The two biggest causes of this are;

Using the wrong codec to make the ausio file, so that the dvd player doesn't recognise it.
LPCM audio is most compatible, but has a big file size.
AC3 is very compatible, and gives smaller file sizes with good quality.
Mpeg audio is least compatible, but gives small file size with good quality. You may have used this.

Only having audio recorded to one side of the track, either the left or right. The dvd player then only plays sound from the other track.

If you don't know how to find out this info, post again, but also add other info like the make and model of dvd player, camcorder, how you got the video onto the pc etc etc.

Hi and Thanks for the response, The camcorder I used is a Sony Hi8 video camera recorder and the DVD player Daewoo dc DVD recorder + VCR combi, I used the EasyCap capture USB 2.0video adapter with audio which has CVBS and Audio (R) jacks to transfer the video content to my laptop.
Could you tell me how to check which codec I am using so I can change this if Needed, also are the jack plugs sufficient for my intensions?

When you come to the dvd authoring stage you should get an option to select the audio type.
Revisit the project and follow it thorugh until you ge to this stage and check which is selected.

What do you mean by CVBA and audio R?

The connection must be correct as you have audio on the pc when you play the dvd, we just need to figure out how the dvd was made.
