dvd lab pro problem... HeLp

[mats.hogberg]

Probably audio has been converted from mp2 to LPCM audio, which takes up lots & lots of space. But almost 4 GB audio, sounds like too much even so...

You are working with low res source, so I assume you are looking at a long running time. LPCM eats around 675MB / hour, so 6 hours is around 4 GB. CW 224 kbps MPA or AC3 @ 98 MB / hour. What is the tota running time of the disc ?

[tinker]

What is your audio file format, it sounds like LPCM. Convert Audio to AC3 or MPA with lower bitrate rate (224 or 192).

i changed the audio formatting and the dvd is still playing up! when i go to play all, there is no sound and to add insult to injury after a few seconds of playin it says the media is not readable, whats that all about

any suggestions?

[guns1inger]

What is the media (media ID and brand would be good) ?
Have you tried DVD Info Pro's speed test or Nero Drive Speed on the disc after burning ?

[stevie85]

when using dvd lab pro's quick lab encoder, do i use the orginal source to get the audio or would you extract that from the file i have just encoded?

guns1inger- the media used is a Phillips DVD+RW-120 min video (extended play 240 mins)-4.7GB

[guns1inger]

I would demux the audio and encode with ffmpeggui or aftengui (I prefer AC3 to mpeg1-layer2)

[stevie85]

okie dokie, but do i use the orginal source ( the copy my freind gave me) to get the audio or would you extract that from the file i have just encoded?

[guns1inger]

I would take it from the original source

[stevie85]

horray!
the DVD now works perfectly... well in specific machines i have anyways, only problem i have now, is that the fast forward and rewind doesnt work at all, what could be the problem?

thanks in advance

Poor source (video or audio), poor burning, poor media, poor players. Without having access to the source files, or knowing what brnad disc you are using, it is impossible to say. I know that all the discs I have created with DLP play in a variety of players, but I use either full or half D1, not VCD res, and good quality encoders. I also burn to good quality discs.
