No Audio On Dvd Burn

[Tommy X]

I bought a new HP computer (Windows XP) two years ago (2008). Only now I am trying to burn a DVD for the first time . I am able to burn the video but not the audio. It promts that I need AC3.

The HP computer came with Roxio Creator Basic 9 (Easy Media Creator 9).

How do I get it to burn the audio?

 

I have been able to make data discs, play DVDs, audio CDs.

Please help.

If I buy Creator-10 (via download) will it overwrite the old Creator-9 ?

Thanks

If the computer came with a version of EMC 9 then it mostlikely is an OEM version which means that it will have features missing or crippled. I believe AC3 would be one of these missing features.

 

The latest version is Roxio Creator 2010. If you get the download version, you have a 30 day refund policy. You definitely don't need the crippled EMC 9 version and you should remove it if you get a new, full version.

Yes Tommy,

 

Your version is one of the cut-down versions. There is a full discussion about them HERE.

 

You should uninstall your EMC 9 Basic before installing a newer un-crippled version.
