No Sound when inserting DVD/DVD-VR

Greetings,

When inserting a DVD/DVD-VR scene and playing it back, the video plays properly but there is no sound.
When inserting a video (MPG for instance) both the sound and the video are playing correctly.

What settings should I check to get the sound when inserting DVD/DVD-VR?

Much thanks,
Benoit

This first setting to check is your VERSION of VideoStudio and if it supports Dolby Audio.

Usually dvd's recorded in a dvd recorder the audio is Dolby 2.0 (stereo).
Some dvd recorders/camcorders will allow you to record lpcm audio.
This is usually an option when recording in the HQ (High_Quality) mode.
As far as I know all versions of VS support lpcm audio.

Hope this helps,

MD

Hi MD,

Thanks for your answer.
My version is VideoStudio 8.00.0000.
How can I verify whether this version supports Dolby Audio or not?

Thank you,
Benoit

It does NOT naturally support Dolby AC-3. You had to buy a plug-in which cost $29.95, although there was a downloadable filter which would at least let you capture Dolby. But you could not then edit it or produce a disc using Dolby. Not sure if that plug-in still exists, but for an extra $20, you can upgrade to VS9, which supports Dolby and is a better program too.
