I am trying to author AVCHD discs using MyDVD in Creator 2009. Some of the AVCHD clips lose their sound after being converted to the editable mpg file. How can I trouble-shoot this issue? Thanks.

Are you saying that some do and some don't?  What is the difference?  Source, format, etc.

Yes, majority of the clips keep the sound after conversion. Some of them don't. They are all from the same Sony HDR-TG3 camcorder. It appears to be arbitary when it happens. I have not been able to find any pattern.

I have also had this happen recently.  Video clips taken within the same event (kid's musical) all have sound when played through the camera and through Media Import (so it wasn't user error in recording), however one clip out of 8 will not import the sound.  I have tried to import several different times (same file) to several different locations.  I have even uninstalled and reinstalled RC at this point.   I can find absolutely no difference in the source files, it seems to be arbitrary when it's imported and when it's not.  I now have several other 'random' clips that will not import the sound as well.  

Any advice would be appreciated!

Heather. do you have the same camcorder?  If not, start your own thread.  Tell us what camcorder you have and tell us about the format that you are recording.  


Edit:  OOPs, I just realized that the OP hasn't been back in a couple of months.

hfguk  It looks like that camcorder records in a choice of two different high definition formats and one standard definition.  Are all the video recorded with he same format?  Which one?  How are you getting the video onto your computer?  

What are you doing when you realize that there is no audio on some of the files?  Why are you converting (some/all) to mpg2?  You should be able to use the AVCHD files directly in both Video Wave and in MyDVD.  

Since some work and others don't, I would lean strongly to looking at the original files before conversion.  Do they have sound?  If you use Video Wave and add the AVCHD files. do you have audio?

These are the supported file types in Video Wave (Edit Video-Advanced).
Supported Input Formats

Video: AVI, DV, HDV, DV-AVI, MPEG-1/2/4, MPEG2-HD, DVD-Video**, IFO/VOB, DivX, DivX HD, XviD, DVR-MS, TiVo, ASF, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, 3GP, MPEG2 Transport Stream, AVC (H.264), AVCHD, .MOD (JVC Everio cameras).

Please get back to us.
