No sound on burned DVD

[johnd99]

I have MyDVD Essentials but there does not seem to be a forum for it so I am posting here instead.

 

I have transferred footage from my digital video camera to my PC and it plays perfectly, including sound. However, when I burn the video to DVD the picture is fine but there is no sound.

 

The files are in vob format.

 

Hope somebody can help with this.

This has been posted before. AC3 audio is not supported in any of the Essential versions. Read the help file. A free open source AC3 filter is available, Google. Just don't know if it will work?

EMC 9 free trial is available, http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/landing/creator_trial/

Pity they don't tell you that it's not supported before you buy it! AC3 is even listed in the Project Settings options but they are all greyed out.

 

I will obtain the filter and give it a try.

 

Thanks for your help.

Only reference I can find in help has note at the top of the page that states: Depending on the software version you are running, some of the features described below may not be available.

 

I want to be able to play the DVD on a DVD player attached to my TV (not on my computer) so I don't think I can use an AC3 filter.

 

Seems to me that I have two options:

 

1. Convert the video to a format that MyDVD Essentials will recognise the audio. (Assuming it doesn't only produce silent movies!)

 

2. Upgrade to a version that will cope with sound in vob files. Would this be Studio or Studio Premier? I cannot find the necessary level of detail on Roxio's website.

 

Please help.
