DVD Workshop problem with demultiplexed files

[topdoggg]

I've got a wierd problem that has just started happening to me with DVD Workshop (2.231). Up to this point I've authored 60+ DVD with no issues by importing Mpeg clips, but I recently tried using demuxed files for large videos (3+ GB) as an Mpeg file that large seems to choke DWS.

I've encountered two separate problems.

One one video everything looks fantastic in preview - all of the chapters link correctly etc. Sound is great. When I burn the disc (or to a folder too) and play the resulting dvd I have a soundtract with the music, but all voice audio (talking) is gone or can't be heard.

On the second dvd, everything works perfect as above, but when I play the disc or folder all of the chapters go to the right spot in the video, but the audio jumps to the start of the movie.

I realize you may need more info to help my solve this and will provide what ever you need. Any advice is welcome, I'm finding this very frustrating .

Also, does anybody no why with DVD Workshop, importing a 3+ GB file makes it virtually impossible to author without the proggy crashing every 5 minutes.

I had the EXACT same problem. Solution, multiplex in a exterior program such as TMPGenc. Then re-add the video's and your problem will be solved.

Why are you demuxing the files in the first place? I just put muxed DV avi or mpeg files straight into DVDWS without problem. I also often put .avi files up to 20 GB and mpegs up to 4 GB and have never had a problem. Maybe you have a problem with your install.

I've been wondering if I should uninstall and reinstall.

I usually convert everything in TMPGENC and then bring it straight into DVDWS and have no problems, but with single files over 3 GB the program chokes. It takes forever to move to places I want to insert a chapter point (if it doesn't crash first), when I open the file it can take up to a minute to load. I found when I demux the clip that it seems to solve the problem.

If I need to unistall, do anyone happen to know where I can find complete unistall info (including registry entry info) so I can get rid of everything and start fresh?

I am running a P4, 2.6 GHz with 1 GB RAM, so I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue, but who knows. The day I figure computers out I'll be an old man
