music has dead spots in my dvd

[Gatekeeper]

Hi
I made a dvd that has one video and three slide shows. Each slide show has their own music. The video has the audio that was with the video. I also have a menu with music. I built a test dvd with each item I added. First I built the menu and added the video. then I made a test dvd
it worked. Then I added the first slideshow with music. and made another test dvd and it worked. Then I added the secound slideshow with music and made a dvd and it ran fine but the sound would cut out in diffrent spots when I played it on my dvd player. So I tried it on my computer and it ran fine. I checked the first slideshow it too was having dead spots. I tried diffrent dvd media -rw and +rw. Both had dead spots in the music the +rw did not have as many spots. Is there a music format that I am suppose to follow. I mean type of files or what are the spects for music. Is there a better way to put cd music in your dvd.
I used audacity to record in wave and then used musicbox to convert to mp3. any suggestions would be great. I use studio 8 for editing and Nero 6 ultra to burn the dvds.
(I first put this post in the dvd authoring then I found the audio forms so I will try here) thanks

converting your wav files to mp3? why bother, you'll need to recompress again for DVD. (AC3 or MP2). why not just save them as WAVs?

maybe this will help your audio dropout problem, too.

I have a similar problem with slideshows created by DVD Lab (standard 1.3.1). All my audio is mastered as AC-3 5.1 in Vegas. The slideshow is compiled in DVD Lab. It plays back fine in my PC (with PowerDVD 5), on mt standalone (Pioneer 414), and a couple of other standalones (and LG VCR combo and a no-name supermarket bought player). On a Phillips standalone however, there is a break in the audio between slides. This is the only player where this problem manifests itself.

What player do you have ?

And don't bother butchering your audio with mp3 conversion, it's a waste of time, and tantamount to converting DV to Divx on the way to mpeg-2.

Ok I will leave as a wave file and try it out that way.
I have a cheap empex dvd player.
THanks for the post

When you said "music" and "dead spots", I was going to inquire if you had any Justin Timberlake or Eminem on it.
