I have a few films (in .avi & .mpg) that dont seem to have noise it them when played on my computer, but when i use Divxtodvd, run them through shrink and burn with nero or copy to dvd, when i play them back on my dvd player there is noise in it that makes it unbearable to listen to. I have a beautiful picture. I dont understand what the problem could be. I have asked the people whom i got the files from and they dont have my problem with the movies. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Try dropping the original videos on GoldWave 4.26 and saving the audio as 16 bit signed stereo .wav files. Then use TMPGEnc Plus http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tp.html to convert to DVD. Load the original video in TMPGEnc Plus wizard, but for the audio file use the .wav file you saved. That might filter out whatever is weird. Also before using TMPGEnc Plus for the first time you should set Environment and VFAPI settings or it might reject some .avi files that it can really handle. See TMPGEnc guides for doing this. btw most of my suggestions are aimed at the casual user like myself who wants to get a pretty good result with as much freeware as possible. If you can spend money then there are high end tools that may do things in fewer steps. That being said, a nice freeware to author your DVD on the cheap is DvdAuthorGUI. Set TMPGEnc Plus to output separate video and audio DVD files(a check box in last page of the wizard right under the output file name edit box). These will load right into DvdAuthorGUI and it's a no-brainer to get a VIDEO_TS folder out the other end for burning. Also if you have any DVD+RW you might burn on those until you get the squeels out of the videos.
Thank you so much! This did solve my problem! I wish i would have posted sooner, as i was pulling out my hair.
