Audio question when rendering

[Edward Troxel]

I would right-click it, choose Channels, and pick LEFT ONLY. This will output the left channel on both sides. If you “sum” it and there’s any garbage on the right channel, it would be put into the mix as well. I think “Left Only” would be the better option.

Does your DVD have audio when played on your computer?
If no, you most likely did not render out the audio portion of your project. What program are you authoring your DVD with?

Yes there’s audio while playing on my PC

The thing is the client wants the raw footage, no editing whatsoever, so what they told me to do is just to put the footage on 2 DVD 9 as data DVD format. But usually I still can have audio when I transfer that way.

So you are trying to play a data dvd on a stand alone dvd player?

Did you make sure that the MPEG-2 template you used was set to include audio?
Some do and some don’t so you need to make sure you picked one that does.
You can also go into the Audio tab of the Custom options and make sure that “Include audio stream” is selected.

[Frenchie29]

Yes it’s included, otherwise I couldn’t get any audio with the same DVD in my PC what I am thinking is my DVD player might be too old to read that kind of audio file, would that make any sense??

The thing is the client wants to use those DVD’s just to arhive the meeting, it’s fine playing from a computer but I’d rather give them something they could use on both.

Yes it’s included, otherwise…

Martin, I never assume anything so I’m just making sure 🙂

Now for another potentially dumb question.
How are you putting the video onto the DVD?
Are you creating a DVD in DVD Architect (i.e. AUDIO_TS & VIDEO_TS folders) or just dropping the MPEG-2 file onto a disc?
If it’s the latter, then I suspect that’s why it won’t play properly on a DVD player.
