Dvd Burn No Audio Help

[dino520]

Hi guys..newbie alert! Here`s the problem: I copied a dvd-r of home movies with accompanying audio to my computer. This was loaned to me by a friend to copy for my edification. Both the copied files(.vob files) and the original played fine on my computer. I then burned the copied files to a Lightscribe dvd+r disc. The video is fine but the audio is missing. I used the "My DVD 9" program from the Roxio Creator 9 Suite installed on my computer when purchased. This was my first attempt to use this program to burn a DVD. Can someone explain where I went wrong...or how to do it right? Thanks in advance...

[dino520]

sknis..thanks. I went to control Panel>Device Manager>Display Adapters. There I found Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce430. I assume (not sure) this is my video card driver? I tried to update it there and it says it`s up to date. Should I still attempt the rest of your suggestion?

 

Just checked..the software dot is already there.

Thank you all!

 

First sknis..to answer your question, that`s exactly what I`m trying to do. I`ll read your link too.

 

Bruce..thanks..nice to be here with you all!!! I was in the delta too. 5/60th mech 9th Infantry Div. Base camp @ Binh Phuoc. You must`ve been 9th ID too huh? Small world! What unit?

 

CD..thanks for the link..but I already had it as an mp3. Don`t know if it`s legal to use it or not. I won`t tell if you won`t! 1st Cav huh?

 

PS how do I upload and attach an image here? It`s not working for me. I tried to link to a photo on my Flickr page and it doesn`t like the address.

 

I was in the Bihn Thuy/Can Tho area. We had a detachment in Binh Long, which I think is right next door to where you were. I was an armorer and took weapons up to Bihn Long a couple of times.

 

You guys were the only infantry support for our area in the Delta.

Personally, I strongly recommend completely removing any OEM junk before installing!

 

In fact you should follow the Clean Install procedure – Here

 

Since you don't have a disc for your OEM, only you can decide if you want to commit.

 

Your current OEM software isn't going to work so I don't see much point in holding on to a dead battery…

 

Well I did the uninstall, and reinstall of the trial version. The DVD burn went well.

 

But...my Lightscribe program apparently left with the Roxio OEM that I deleted!!! I thought that they were two seperate unconnected programs...but obviously not. So now I have to PURCHASE the Lightscribe software? Man am I P*****...Any thoughts or suggestions?

The LightScribe software is free, at LightScribe's website. It has to be installed to have any program, not just Roxio, print to a LightScribe disc.

Bruce did the Lightscribe come with the Roxio OEM preinstalled on my PC that I uninstalled?

 

And maybe you could advise me which software I need to get from Lightscribe. There are quite a few there and I have no idea which ones I need. I did once use the Lightscribe Express Labeler(it`s gone now) to burn an image on a DVD, but I don`t see that particular program there at Lightscribe.

Thanks for the link, CD. I had to leave, immediately after my last post, so I didn't get a chance to post the link.

[dino520]

Thanks CD!

[dino520]

CD or Bruce..I downloaded the Lightscribe software. But it`s not going according to the instructions from Lightscribe. Grrrrrr. Given that there is no "Sonic" software remaining on my PC (there was..and I think that`s what I used the first and only time I used Lightscribe) I tried the instructions to create a label with Roxio. I am trying to burn an image on the DVD, but all the options in theRoxio Label Creator "add object" menu are grayed out except scan image. So trying to use the only other option there "edit background" in the Edit Layout menu...the image I selected only appears in the outer circle of the disc. When I`d used Sonic, the entire image burned in the center of the disc. What the he** is going on?

[dino520]

Ok..here`s an update. I got the image centered. Yaaayyyyy!

 

Only problem is everytime I try to edit the type font the program "stops working". I gotta start all over again from scratch. I can adjust the size of the font..but not the style. Then again I just tried it before I did all the image manipulation I have to do to fit the image on the disc, and it hasn`t shut down yet. Maybe it`s a memory issue? Shouldn`t be as I have 2GBs RAM. Thoughts?

 

And thanks for your indulgence everybody.

[dino520]

Update..Both Express Labeler and VideoWave9 crash frequently at the tail end of all the menu manipulations I`m doing. Man this is frustrating. Is there a logical explanation for it? With 2 GBs RAM? Anyone have an explanation..or better yet a solution?

Possibly (usually) your video card. Update the drivers from the computer manufacturer's web site and then, in Video Wave, go to the top menu and select tool. options and put a dot near software. That should cure Video Wave but I don't know about the Labeler crash.

Just checked..the software dot is already there.

That's your video card I.D. Go to Windows>Start>Run>Type in dxdiag> click OK. Wait until the window opens> select the display tab. On the left you will see the video card information; on the right your video card driver number. If you have XP, the date should be Dec 19, 2007. If it is not, you can update the driver here (link). Carefully follow the instructions.

If you are using 32 bit Vista, then the update is here. It is dated Dec 20, 2007.

 

Also, use the nVidia control panel to set your card's performance to best performance and away from best appearance; and set anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing to software controlled.

[dino520]

Thanks sknis. #$^@ Vista. The date on the driver was August. The DL link you suggested was December, so I downloaded it and installed it. Then I get a popup from the "compatability assistant" saying the driver might not have installed correctly. It offered to reinstall it with the "recommended settings". So I figure it knows better than I do...and I try to reinstall it. Then during the reinstall I get a popup stating that the wizard has detected an operating system that is not Vista 32bit. It terminates the reinstall. Weird...I can only hope it installed correctly the first time.

 

Btw..can you tell me how to get to the nVidia control panel?

[cdanteek]

Hold down the start keyboard button, in between Ctrl and Alt, bottom left side of the keyboard, while you push the pause break keyboard button, top right side of keyboard. What does it say for system?

 

cd

[dino520]

CD..it`s Vista 32bit, but I already knew that.

 

I did have success (finally) burning the DVD yesterday. Today I tried to open the project I`d saved and preview it before burning some more. VideoWave9 has crashed about 4 times even after installing the driver update. Guess that didn`t solve the problem. But maybe I need to optimize the performance first to get a better result. Do you know how to open the nVidia control panel? Thanks for the help...again.

 

The audio on the menu which I had "fit", runs 212 seconds. But on the preview it only runs about 30 seconds. Is that normal?

Download the driver again to a folder on your hard drive. open control panel add remove programs or the same/same in Vista. Pause or shut off your antivirus. Remove/uninstall anything called Nvidia, now reboot and cancel the new found hardware wizard when the pc restarts. Pause or shut off your antivirus. Navigate to the Nvidia Drivers you download to a folder on your hard drive and click on it, follow the prompts. When you click finish on the installation window reboot and try the Roxio product.

[dino520]

Cd..did all you suggested. I opened MyDVD9...opened the saved program and clicked on preview. Again, the menu audio only ran for about 30 seconds. So I went back to check and see if the whole "fit audio" thing was in order according to my original settings (212 seconds). As soon as I clicked on the DVD Menu button...it crashed. Sooooooooooooo...I opened the whole thing again...and instead of first previewing...I clicked on the DVD Menu button...it crashed. Twice!

 

I`m beginning to think we`ve got VC in the wire...

dino520,

 

Your taking this well.

 

I'll go over it in the morning, see if anyone steps in with a suggestion.

[dino520]

Thanks CD...you number 1! They already turned one around on us back in `67. Ahhh...memories. Good times..good times...

 

PS...thanks for taking the "point"!

[dino520]

Bump..MyDVD9 is slow to load my DVD project...slow to preview..slow to unload the preview...then crashes the first button I push. Over and over again. The popup says VideoWave 9 has stopped working.

 

I was considering buying the program after the trial...but this is getting ridiculous.

[dino520]

Are you all stymied? Please..I need more ideas here. Maybe starting over with a new project??? Any consideration would be appreciated.

[dino520]

As I said in the other thread..I did manage to burn 10 DVDs of my Nam project..after switching the menu audio from what I`d originally set up. I`ve discovered a new issue though. The menu loops, and on the 2nd replay the menu is abbreviated by about 15 seconds..and the Roxio menu background image appears (the changing seasons background)...my audio is still there, but the Roxio image appears for about 10 seconds. This happens every other repeat of the menu loop.

 

Any ideas what`s wrong here? I`d like not to repeat this error.

[sknis]

Jim..I did the uninstall and followed your link and downloaded the EMC9 trial version. It looks like the exact same program I just uninstalled! Maybe there are more functional features than the OEM, and maybe it will recognize the music files when the OEM wouldn`t, but I don`t know yet...I haven`t tried to burn anything ...as I`m trying to do something else with this program and I haven`t been able to get anywhere. I need someone`s advice.

 

Here`s what I`m trying to do. As already mentioned earlier I have downloaded a DVD of home movies to my computer. It includes a chapter menu and background music playing behind the video in each of the 4 chapters. I would like to somehow edit out the original menu and replace it with a jpeg and my own music.

 

I`ve been able to substitute the jpeg for the MyDVD9 optional menu background, and have added music to accompany it. But I`ve had to first choose one of the optional menu backgrounds first..and then replace it with my own image, and then replace the music with my own (as all the MyDVD9 menu options have their own music attached). But in the "storyline" frame number 2 (and sometimes 3) contain the MyDVD9 optional background. So when I preview what I`ve "created" it begins with my image and music but then the original MyDVD9 menu background replaces mine. I tried to delete the image in frame 2..but it won`t allow me to do so.

 

I then added/imported the video and when I preview the whole thing the preview only runs through the menu portion that I "created". So I don`t know whether or not the menu I created would be functional..or just sit there as a static image or what. Or if "my menu" would just transition to the original menu on the original DVD. I hoped by using this program to "create" another menu...that it would automatically replace the original menu. Maybe the only way to find out would be to burn it..but as I couldn`t get the menu right anyway..I haven`t bothered.

 

So the basic question is..can this program be used to edit out the original menu contained in the DVD and replace it as I have described? If so..how the he** do I do that. If not..is there a Roxio program that will do that...or another program besides Roxio???

 

Take a look at the file structure on the DVD. if it is a standard DVD file structure, the various VOB files would have the video and, I believe the menu would be separate. Just don't use the menu. Am I missing something?

 

Are you working in Video Wave for editing the videos?

 

Your post is slightly confusing. It reads as if you want to make a change to the menu that is already on the DVD.
