I have a question with probably a simple answer, but I just cannot find it. I created a video from a Christmas Production at our church. Everything plays fine when I listen to the clips. I rendered it into a mpeg file and there is no audio when I play it. I use the Windows Media player to play it. I have checked all the volumes I can think of and other audio files play, but it won't. Any ideas? I don't want to waste a DVD burning it to a DVD and then having no audio.
Thanks!
No audio?

Hi Karen
Have you used Digital Dolby as your audio preference.
I am using Win 2000 and DD did not play on Windows Media Player until I installed the AC3 Filter.

Sorry. You must be looking at the properties of the wrong file. (You never told us in any case what was the format you used to capture the video in the first place, but I am assuming it was from a digital source and you captured in DV Format.) But you say the audio says it is NTSC DV audio. On the other hand, you say that you converted the project to mpeg (mpeg-1 or 2?) Now, DV audio goes with the original DV format capture, but is not an audio format which plays with mpeg. If it doesn't play with WMP, then I suspect you may have produced an mpeg-2 with Dolby AC-3 audio (if you have VS9 -- you don't even tell us which version of VS you are using!) And you probably have a version of WMP which does not have the relevant audio codec or an up to date one at least. Can you right click on the mpeg file you produced, and do that within Video Studio, and tell us the properties that are there, please...

Sorry. Not sure what has happened since LPCM audio is the rock standard audio of both PAL and NTSC DVDs and should be able to be played by WMP and other software media players.
The only thing I can think of is a long shot, but since you have VS9, it is nonetheless a possibility. I should also say that I have not used this in VS9, but do so in Ulead's more upmarket video editor Media Studio Pro 8, and am assuming that it operates in a similar fashion. When rendering to your mpeg-2 file, you may have activated the two-pass encode box, which basically means the program has a couple of goes at encoding, and the whole process takes roughly twice as long as a normal encode. The end result may be better, however. But you could have thought, after it got through the first pass, that that was all that was required and you clicked out of the process. In MSP 8, at least, this will usually produce an mpeg-2 file which is missing the audio stream. Anyway, check and see if you have a tick in that box and if so, either uncheck it or else let the process go for twice as long until the program lets you know it is finished.
As for burning a disc and potentially wasting it if it is incorrect, I usually first burn a project to a rewritable +/-RW DVD. That way you can see the final result but go back and correct things if they need correcting. And you don't waste a disc!

Hi
I have exactly the same problem as Karen.
I rendered a video created in VS9 to a DVD compatible MPEG2 file.
When I play it in Windows media player 10 the video plays OK, but the sound is just a buzzing noise.
The video and sound plays fine in Videostudio itself and also in Windows Movie maker.
The audio type selected was LPCM, and I didn't use 2 pass encoding.
When I look at the file properties in media player it says the audio codec is Ulead DVD audio codec (sorry, not sure if that is the exact name, as I'm writing this from memory, but it's definitley Ulead DVD something)
With other files I have created previously with the trial version of VS9, the audio codec is MPEG2.
Do I need to install a Ulead codec for media player?
Thanks

I've been doing some experimenting with different Project Settings and have found that:
If you render the video file with MPEG audio instead of the standard LPCM then the file will play properly in Windows media player.
So I don't know wheter the fault is with Windows Media Player or Ulead Videostudio, but it certainly doesn't work with LPCM sound, all you get is a loud buzzing sound.
I guess I'll just use MPEG audio from now on.

That's fine. I have no idea why WMP won't play (L)PCM on your computers. But if MPEG works, use that. Be aware, though, that if you live in an NTSC country, that MPEG audio is not part of the NTSC DVD standard, and might not play on all stand-alone DVD players. So there might be a trade-off between the immediate testability of your video on your computer (i.e. ability to play it on WMP -- does it play on other software players like Power Director or WinDVD??) and the ultimate playability of the final DVD out there in the big wide world of DVD watchers...

New to the forum, and using VideoStudio 7 and encountered a problem similar to Karenl39 and Hammer2002. I was reading the stickies and saw the caveat about making a video file before burning a DVD, i.e. not burning a disk directy from the timeline. I was set to assume that my problems were due to that. I burned a disk (two actually) from the timeline and got no audio. I was all set to burn another disk using the MPEG audio format, but decided to investigate this forum first.
My input clips are FRAPS captures: 24 bits, 800x600, 30 fps
The audio is PCM 44,100 kHz, 16 bit, stereo.
I'm using this program to capture video clips from a flight simulator.
Project settings for file conversion are:
MPEG files
24 Bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Field Order A
(DVD-NTSC), 4:3
Video data rate: 6000 kbps
LPCM Audio, 48 KHz, Stereo
Would my 'no audio' problems be due to the input clips properties not matching the project video properties? I've tried playing the disk on two different players. What, exactly, does this caveat mean:
"Make certain that your BURN properties exactly match your VIDEO FILE properties." ?
Does it mean my FRAPS captures must be 720x480, 29.92 fps, etc.?
Or does it mean I render a video file first which matches my intended burn properties?

im am having the same problem with creating a video file from an mpeg2 file or dvd(vob). The input audio and video is the same mentioned except i am working with PAL so its 720 x 576 and 25fps.
I have no problem producing good quality video (mpeg2) after editing it (trimming etc) but the audio is not even there.. ive tried mpeg audio and lpcm and dolby but none work???

No Audio
I purchased and installed DVD Movie Factory 4, after using the trial version which worked well. Now video clips played with the upgrade have no audio.
The previous versions worded well .... DVD MF 3SE and the trial DVD MF 4. I also downloaded the patches for Version 4... still no audio.

When you say you have no audio, do you mean when played back on the computer, or from the burned DVD in your DVD player?
As i've said in my earlier post, I only have no audio when using LPCM audio in the project settings and playing the mpeg file via Windows media player. In Videostudio itself the audio is OK. If I use MPEG audio it works fine in WMP too.
My burnt DVDs work fine in my DVD player, although I always create a disc image and then burn it using my disc recording software rather than from Videostudio itself. I find this to be a more reliable way of doing it, and have never had a failed burn using this method.
