    avi details:

    Codec: xvid (mpeg4)
    Frame size: 608x256 (16:9)
    Audio: vbr mp3 (acm decodable)
    Sampling rate: 44100Hz
    Channels: 2
    Data rate: 153kbps


    I have an avi video I'd like to convert into a dvd and play upon a standalone dvd player. The problem is that once converted, the audio from the dvd player becomes all garbled and squeeky like.

    I've tried decompressing the audio to pcm, but still it has the same effect once burnt onto a dvd disc. I've also extracted the audio stream and had it converted to several differant formats (mp3-cbr, mp2, ac3) to see if this made it work once the audio and video had been muxed back together, but with no luck. My dvd player doesn't play dvd-audio of the current sample rate, so of course I've been using 48000Hz.

    I would be grateful of any help, let me know your ideas.

    Maybe, play the DVD in a different standalone and see how it is. Out of several hundred videos I've downloaded from the net and converted to DVD, I only ever saw this once and never found what caused it. And, converting the audio to Wav didn't help. I even downloaded the same file from a different source; this time a bin/cue version. Same thing, audio totally garbled (unintelligible) and squeaky. Yet, these same disks played fine on my pc and on a friends standalone. BTW, my standalone is less than 1 year old.

    I'm fresh out of idea's now as to what is the solution to make this dvd play.

    I tried re-recording the audio stream by capturing the audio played through my pc's sound card with 'advanced mp3 wma recorder'. But to my surprize this also gave the same result.


    Converted dvd-audio:

    MP2, 128kbps, 48000Hz


    I've been using a DVD+RW rewritable disc to try and make this dvd play in order to not waste many blank dvd discs. But now I'll try as suggested to play the dvd on another standalone player and try another type/brand of dvd disc.

    I would be grateful of any idea's you have.
