I have a DVR that produces an MPEG2 file that, on ocasion, I burn to a DVD.  This has always worked fine with Nero under Windows XP.  I recently changed to Vista (I know, My Mistake.  Notice that I didn't say upgrade) and MC9.  I can now no longer get the audio from the MPEG file into MyDVD.  The file loads just fine, but there is no audio, even in the preview mode.  The audio from the default menu is fine.  If I right-click on the file in the storyline and look at the properties, it shows no audio stream.  The file plays just fine in Media player, etc.  It even works in Roxio's Media Experience.  I have no idea why MC chooses to ignore the audio in the file.  I have tried for two weeks to get help from Roxio, but the best I got was a reference to a web site that hasen't been updated in three years for "Shelock Codec Detective".  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.  I really hate to go back to Nero (it kinda sucks), but I am about ready to do that.

I have never seen a DVR that produces mpeg files??? I don't claim to have seen everything though but would like a little more info on that.

Have you applied the 9.1 update which is needed to make EMC 9 Vista compatible?

Yes, I have applied the 9.1.  Didn't change anything anywhere.  

The DVR is an LG-LRM519, Best DVR I have seen.  It was an effort by Microsoft to get into the DVR business.  It uses the micorsoft program guide (same as Media Center) directly from the internet and allows you to send MPEG files from the DVR to a networked computer.  Best thing about it is there is no monthly charge.  Of course it is no longer made with no replacement.  I believe it was another casulty of DRM.

Thanks for the updated info. Sadly I have no idea…

I have never had any problems with audio, hence no need to get into that area. Others have dealt with it so someone should drop in and make some useful suggestions.

One possible workaround – load it into Windows Movie Maker and output to a different place. (might put the sound into a usable format)
