no audio coming out

[stb]

hi everybody,

i've just got my DVD burner today and burned my first movie.

i have a problem: no sound.

this is what i did:

1) converted a AVI movie into DVD format through TMPGEnc, hence i have a MPEG2 video file and a .wav audio file as the output.

2) now i go to author it in TMPGEnc DVD author, i select the Mpeg2 video file and make sure it has selected the .wav audio file. it finishes its converting. i check the output folder: AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS appear. i select audio_ts and it is empty which i thought was strange, i select video_ts and it has the relavant files.
3) i enter NERO ROM and drag and drop the VIDEO_TS contents into it but carnt do anything about AUDIO_TS. burn it.
4) play it on my PC and PS2, video quality very good but no sound!

what have i done wrong? how do i get the problem solved?

by joe, i think i've cracked it!!! .

in TMPGEnc, i selected CBR Linear PCM Audio instead of CBR MPEG-1 LAYERll Audio (MP2).
that was the problem.

now i know what to do, the audio is streamed within the MPEG2 video.

just to clarify things up, does PCM audio contain DOlby Digital Sound?

i've got another problem, after i encode it too MPEG2, the ouput is "judery", what settings in TMPGEnc do i need to change/set to make this problem go away?

PCM audio is 2-channel only. DVD supports PCM by default,any DVD player should play a DVD with PCM audio. You may have the audio menu on the DVD player set wrong.
The AUDIO_TS folder isn't required. Most retail DVD's don't use one.

That's what I thought, but then I got told this:

The latter half is ture, though I've read that if a DVD disc doesn't have the AUDIO_TS folder (even though it's usually empty) then it may not be recognised by some players. I always leave it in, just in case...
