I started burning my first DVD yesterday. I wanted to burn a few episodes of Stargate Atlantis. I used ConvertXtoDVD to convert over my .avi files. I burn the files to disk (I mangaged to fit four episodes on the disk) using NeroVision Express. It burned successfully. I tried playing the DVD on my computer and it worked okay. They only thing is, it skips the menu completely and starts playing the first episode as soon as I put the DVD in - but that isn't the problem. When I tried playing the DVD in my DVD player, the picture is great and it plays fine (although it still skips the menu for some reason) but no sound plays. I checked all the episode and there's no sound on any of them. Any clues on how to fix this?
hit the audio button on your remote. If it works fine on the computer then it's just the audio channel on your standalone that needs to set. If this doesn't work then it may be a dts audio channel or some kind of audio channel that is recorded on your disk that your player doesn't recognize, therefor it won't play the audio. Let's hope that hitting the audio button switches to the correct audio channel and you'll get sound. If not you'll have to reconvert your .avi files and find out if it just has one audio channel that your stand alone might not play! Is this from a DVD or a downloaded dvd from the internet?
I download from the internet. And I'm a complete newbie at all this so it's sort of confusing! At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, what do you mean by hitting the audio button?
on your remote control should be an audio button for your stand alone player! hit it and it may change the audio channel and you'll get sound!!!!
To play on a DVD the sound needs to be 48Khz. Many many AVI's that happen to find their way illegally onto your PC have audio that are 44Khz. Did your audio get re-encoded correctly? I don't use NeroVision Express, so I really don't know how that works, but something to check out.
