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.

 

I understand that there is no support for AC3 audio in the Essentials software.

 

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.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

1) Try downloading an AC3 codec. It might work. That was suggested to another poster but that person never came back to say if it worked.

 

2) My mistake. Sorry there is a MyDVD Studio You might just consider EMC 9 or EMC 9 Deluxe if you are going to do other things than just video. The difference between Studio Premier and EMC is only $10 US and the extras you get are worth it.

 

Post your computer specs so you can get an opinion on how EMC 9 will run on it.
