No Audio on final Burned DVD from DVD Workstation

[POLISHED_ARROW]

I capture and edit with Matrox RT 2500 and Adobe Premiere 6.01. When Premiere exports the project for the authoring program it creates two files. One is avi video and the other is the audio file.
The Matrox buddled author/burn program is DVDit LE which has given me to much frustration to continue using. However, when I use DVDit to author a show, I can browse to the premiere video avi and DVDit automatically grabs the audio file associated with it. I am now using DVD Workshop. It alllows me to select the Video file but I do not see a way to attach the audio file. It burns beautiful DVD, but without the sound.

Do I need to process the video and audio into a single file before importing it to DVD Workshop?

I am stuck.

Thanks for help.

I believe so. I would suggest converting the audio to mp2 or Ac3 compressed format firts, there are guides on how to do this. Then use Tmpgenc, mpeg-tools simple multiplex option to join the video and audio togetber before importing into DVD WS.

Hope this helps

I knew I had seen it somewhere in one of the FAQ's or Guides but I just couldn't find it until after I had posted my question. I needed to multiplex the AVI video file with its associated WAV file. These are the export file types from Adobe Premiere 6. DVD Workshop, used for authoring and burning, required the audio and video to be multiplexed into a single AVI file. What follows is a copy and paste from the actual instructions elsewhwere on this site. And by the way, it worked so well. Sweet, sweet, sweet.


How do I multiplex an AVI
Multiplex is when you join the video and audio to one single file.


For AVI, DivX,ASF use Virtualdub, first select File->Open Video File to open the video, then select Audio->WAV Audio to open the audio(you can open mp3 files also). Select Video->Direct Stream Copy and Audio->Direct Stream Copy and last File->Save AVI to save the new video.
