Loss of Audio on DvD Playback

[Dan36oy]

I've been trying to solve this problem for the past week with no luck so I'd figure it was time to ask for help. Searching past posts did not help me solve the issue (though I may not be searching for the correct problem)

After authoring and burning several mpeg 1 files, I can get the vobs to play on the computer fine, and the burned disc plays on the computer with no problems. When I try to play the disc on my dvd player there is no audio.

DVD player is a Playstation 2

-Tools used to convert audio: besweet and ffmpeggui03c

-Tool for video - Tmpgenc Plus 2.5

-Encodes go into DVDlab Pro, compiled and placed into DVDShrink 3.2, burned with RecordNow or DvD Decrypter

Solutions that I've tried:

converting the audio to lpcm, mpa, wav and ac3
converted mpeg1 to 2 then tried both ac3 and mpa


Are there other programs such as Gspot that can be run on mpeg 1 for file information?

The source video is NTSC 354x240 1151 avg. bitrate
The audio is 224 kbps 44100 channel 2 [stereo]

I appreciate any help while I try to resolve this

Audio has to be 48K, check the "what is" section.

PS2 is one of the pickiest and most problematic players out there, not sure it will even play the lower resolution or MPG1 formats. It refuses to play disks which play fine on three other standalones. Often plays the first file with no audio while second is fine, reverse order, same result with second movie now first. It's just very, very picky even when DVD is absolutely standard.

PC will play almost anything, not particular about standards.

The 44.1K is the source audio. I make all conversions 48k before authoring.
I might try to encode the file to mpg2 again and see what I can get with either ac3 or wav.

You are right though, I may just have to buck up and buy a quality dvd player - I've been using the ps2 on the cheap. The last few compiled mpeg burns prior to this have played well, all dvd backups I've ever made have played without any problems on the playstation.
