No Sound in VideoStudio 8

[DoubleACL]

I use a Phillips DVD recorder to record VHS content to DVD+RW, then desire to edit & author the content to create a new DVD.

In VideoStudio 8 (trial) I've inserted video clips extracted from the DVD's Video_TS folder.
No sound in preview mode. But suspecting this could be just a preview problem, I continued doing some simple edits (adding titles) at various points. Using Share, I cannot create a video file or DVD with sound.

When I use TMPGEnc DVD Author (trial) I don't get any sound in preview either, but the produced video files & DVD's HAVE sound. I would use TMPGEnc DVD Author instead, but it doesn't provide the ability to add add scene titles, transitions, etc.

Thanks.

I'm aware VideoStudio 8 has issues with AC-3 and have attempted the LPCM audio conversion method posted by nezza_42 1/25/04, but the resultant .vob file (renamed to .mpg) did not have sound when played by Windows Media Player.

Is there a method/tool for ripping video files with AC-3 audio and saving as VideoStudio 8 compatible files for editing?

i think you need to demux the video and audio and maybe convert the audio to wav (or mp2).
