No sound but video works!

[adwhitworth]

I have made an MPEG-2 file and tried burning it to DVD+R in Nero after it has been authoured. I put it in the Standalond DVD Player and it works but there is no sound but if I come back to the computer the file has sound but the authoring software changes it all into VIDEO_TS compatible files. Is there a way of getting my audio back. I am using SpruceUp to author and then Nero to burn as SpruceUp's own burner doesn't work for some reason??

If I run the disc in my computer it also works, Just the disc in the DVD standalone player that doesnt work with sound but has video.

Most likely the audio in the VOB is stored in MPEG layer 1, is your
set top a "newer" (within the last year, year and a half) unit?
I am wondering if the set top cannot decode MEPG layer 1, but
I doubt that may be the reason. Id suggest trying another
authoring (DVD) software.

I use:

TMPGEnc -> MPEG2 DVD standards
Ulead DVD Workshop -> VOBs
Nero -> DVD

All works perfect here.

Good luck!

Right, I have sorted it. The DVD player's sound was Optical (Digital) but the camcorders video is analogue so by plugging both cables into the amplifier and switching it now works . Thanks for your help...

What are you saying?
I have the same problem with the same programs used, SpruceUp & Nero 5.5 & no sound from DVD stream from disk that's being played from a Samsung P421... switching audio inputs can't be the answer here?

Someone explane....

Thanks

Believe me it works, All I did was plug in the Red & White phono cables as well as the optical cable and just switch between digital and analogue depending what i'm watching.
