I have a project that has been rendered, iso file made and burned to disc.

It contains a woman speaking with background music.

It plays fine on my portable DVD player and my husbads finicky Sony DVD player.  However, she has a memorex progressive scan DVD player, and it plays the background music, but not her voice.  Strange but true.  How could this happen?

Any ideas?

The Memorex doesn't like the brand/type of media used.

Grandpa Bruce,
What can I do?  It reads the music, but not the voice.  How can I get it to work?  Should I change the narrationi file?

Try a different brand of media.

I'm going to take a different tack than Grandpa Bruce, I'm going to suggest it's a setup problem with the other persons DVD player, either hardware or "configuration", not a drive/media mismatch, because her drive is playing the disc.  

In my case, it was "The Emperor's New Groove" that had a problem.  One section, where the main character was having a conversation with himself, you only heard one half of the conversation, (where we'd heard both sides before).  I got to checking and I'd apparently changed the audio connections, and had one channel connected to a rear channel that should've been a front channel.  The rear channel didn't have that part of the sound track.  Fix that and voila!  Both sides of the conversation could be heard.  

So, she needs to verify her connections, and/or check what tracks are being played by her drive.  I honestly haven't done much with making DVDs yet, but it sounds like the different tracks you put together aren't "merged", and if the DVD player isn't set to play both tracks, or if one is going to a different output, then you won't hear it.

Hope that helps!
