dvd lab pro & sound

[alk555]

I am in the process of evaluating dvd lab pro. Once I import the movies, mpeg and pcm sound file, I attempt to play the movie in the preview window there is no sound. The audio track is included on the movie one time line. Is there suppose to audio in the preview? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Why no preview with audio?

The main reason are the Elementary streams (see above). DVD-lab can't preview together the elementary video and audio in its preview window. In fact this is almost impossible to do in realtime without a special syncing hardware or without some prior pre-compilation. Such attempt in software will most likely produce a false sync problem - something which is far worst than not hearing audio at all.

The job of the Preview window is to set chapters and to locate some video stills you can then use in menus. To hear audio for this task is not essential. You should insert chapter points to a video clues such as scene change. In fact since the chapter points in DVD are bound to video I-frames you won't be even able to add chapters with any big precission to audio clues anyway.

Thanks for pointing me to the obvious place to find information about this tool
