Garbled audio DVD from captured mpeg-2

[bostondriver]

Hi,

 

I'm in the process of capturing all my Super-8 video to my hard drive for safe keeping. I also want to burn each to a DVD.

 

The capture using Media Import (and my PVR-350) works perfectly as far as I can tell. The resulting mpeg-2 file plays using WMP 11 and other assorted free players. Specifically, both audio and video are fine, and in sync.

 

I use MyDVD to burn the mpeg-2 into an .iso. I'll be making several DVD's so all the grand parents can get copies of what was made on prior birthdays, holidays etc.

 

The .iso is burned to a DVD which does play in the DVD player attached to the TV. However, the audio is choppy at the beginning of the DVD. Sound goes normal eventually. I'm not sure about the whole DVD, as I stopped to come search here to see if there is anything others have already run into.

 

I checked to see if what was captured was bad, but what sounds fine using Win Media Player 11 is choppy on the DVD. So this pretty much rules out the capture as causing it.

 

Any ideas?

 

Is there a tool that will play a "DVD from ISO" so I can see if this step is ok?

 

Thanks for any help.

In Tools there's a disc image loader - you could try that

WMP 11 and IE 7 have caused many problems for other programs. I would dump it, and roll back to WMP 9.

 

As far as previewing an .ISO file, you can easily do it in Disc Copier. See attached image.

Specifically, both audio and video are fine, and in sync.

MyDVD defaults to converting the audio to AC3. Make sure you aren't running any background apps during render. You may want to try changing the MyDVD default to the same type used in the MPEG file. Most analog capture uses MPEG audio. This isn't as compatible with all DVD players although most will play it back. You can try a test run using a DVD RW to make sure it plays on yours.

 

Run MyDVD

click File / Project setting

uncheck FIT TO DISC

Then you can change the audio to MPEG.
