high-pitched screeching noise when playing back DVD, but video works...

[xSavant]

Hello! I'm having a bit of a problem here. I finally got my Divx AVI movie file converted into DVD ffmpeg format and ended up with the movie.DVD folder with the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders inside.

However, I previewed the movie in VLC and it had a terrible high-pitched screeching noise during the entire film. I thought it might have just been VLC's fault so I burned the DVD in Toast, popped it into my PS3 and the same thing happened. The video played perfectly but the audio was just the screeching noise. I could still hear the original audio from the film very lightly, but the screeching basically blocked it out.

I previewed the original AVI file in VLC and Quicktime and the video and audio were both perfect. It seems something went wrong in the conversion process.

Thanks so much!

wow, i figured it out. it had to be either one of the these 2 things that caused this:

#1: after converting the movie the first time around I noticed the progress bar had reached 100% so I burned it. however, later on I learned that the progress bar should read "finished", not "100%". i doubt this was the problem though.

#2 (i'm guessing this was the problem): the 2nd time around I switched the Audio Channels setting to Mono because I remembered that the movie I was attempting to burn was in Mono for some reason. I burned the DVD and the sound was perfect.
