Hi Danny,
I brought the contents of the original miniDVD to the hard drive – recovered and extracted the VOB’S using ISOBuster. They run fine and with sound in video players. It is only when I bring them into Vegas that they lose all sound.
Sound file is present on the timeline but flatline. No option for 5.1 or 2 channel.
I have tried entering the file to the timeline from explorer and from project media…. still no sound.
I made a new disk, (+RW,) with a duplicate dos tree, (like the original miniDVD,)in an attempt to recover individual tracks of mpg. I renamed the recovered VOB hoping Vegas would import but no, import brings in a empty folder to the hard drive.
My only guess is that the audio file is beyond re: covery. As mentioned above, it delivers both video and sound in a standard player but the audio file is a full 40 seconds shorter than the video on the timeline.
Sorry to take up your time on this matter…. I am to the point of defining the audio portion as corrupt and beyond vegas editing.
