No Sound When Burning Dvd

[LenL]

I have a similar problem. I used MyDVD Express to make a DVD. When I play the DVD (on my PC or in my DVD player), the opening menu screen has background music but when I play a chapter I just get silent video.

 

My source .MOV video files play fine with sound on my PC as standalone video clips using QuickTime. GSpot identifies the audio codec as "mp4a: MPEG-4 AAC LC" [with "Status Undetermined"].

 

In MyDVD Express, when I open the Project Settings window, all the options in the 'Default encoding settings' section on the right half are grayed out except for the Interlaced and Progressive radio buttons. In the Audio Format box is a grayed-out 'LPCM.'

 

My system:

Easy CD and DVD Burning Home, version 10.3.104, build 101B04A, ECD

Windows XP Home (SP3)

Quicktime is an odd system that doesn't play well with other systems. It seems as if your Quicktime player can play your .MOV file, but your system doesn't have a stand-alone codec for mp4a audio installed - hence 'status undetermined'.

 

Try doing an Internet search for "mp4a codec" and see if installing a good free one allows your Easy CD & DVD Burning program to use the audio from your .MOV files.
