No Audio on When I a DVD on My DVD Player

[DeeJayRaJ]

HI

I got a copy of a wedding dvd, thinked it has been authored trough DVD MovieFactory, but when I play it on my dvd player there is no sound, but on my computer is there sound.
The audio is MPEG-1 2-ch, I have tired many solutions such as:

1. re-encoded the audio (using TMPGEnc DVD Author 3) to Dolby Digital and also Linear PCM, but still no sound when I play it on my DVD player.

2. then I tried to convert it to vcd, but that didnt work, so I tired to convert the video trough TMPGEnc and the audio WAV seperate (which I had converted using VirtualDub). And tryied to play it on my dvd again but that didnt work either.

3. finally I tried to convert only the video, but this time I used my own song, then it worked, I could here the sound (which was my own, not from the wedding dvd) on my dvd player... I also tried to convert another video, but this time I had the org. audio, but when I played it on my dvd there were no sound.

So then I finded out that there must be some protection in the sound.

(all audio worked on my computer, but not my dvdplayer)

I hope someone can help me... thanks...

You could drop the original video into Gspot 2.70, then try the 'Proposed Codec Solutions and Tests' part for the audio. That would at least tell you how the computer is converting it into something playable. But if you converted it to a WAV, it should be fairly standard. A DVD needs 48000 Hz, 32 - 1536 kbps.

You can use VirtualDub Mod to convert Ogg audio to a WAV, then convert that to a DVD audio format with ffmpeggui for AC3 or use the WAV in TMPGEnc when you encode the video.

And welcome to our forums.

thanks for the welcome.

I have tried to use the WAV using TMPEnc, but its still not working, there is still no audio when I play it on my dvdplayer, I think there is some protection in the audio, because the man who made the wedding dvd said that the cd cant be copied.

We have a very long post on why what this guys says is wrong.

Does the disc play back on other players ?

Do commercial discs work on your player ?

Mpeg1-Layer2 audio is not universally playable. even on PAL systems where it is supported, many players have mpeg audio set to bitstream by default. Unless you have an amp that can decode it (rare) you will get nothing until you switch the player over to convert it to PCM stereo.

The disc dosent work on any players, only my computers.
And if there is something wrong with the encoded audio, and if my player cant play such a audio, then it should work when I tried to convert the video and audio (WAV) to vcd. That didnt work either, when I played the vcd, there were only video on my player, but both sound and video on my computer.

I'm confused...What disc doesn't work on any dvdplayers? The wedding dvd ? What files do you see on that dvd? Is it a VIDEO_TS folder with ifo,bup,vob files?

DVD-Video has no special copy protection for the sound.

Its the wedding dvd, its a nomal dvd with VIDEO_TS folder, but when I play it on my DVD Player there is no sound, but on my computer is there..

Ok... this may sound like a stupid question... but you have sound when you insert one other DVD on you player?
