MPEG Video Wizard Audio problems

[MaryEM]

Okay, I am stumped. I have my video edited, added music, burned DVD. The DVD video plays fine on DVD, the audio, (music) just stops. First time, I deleted the song were I was having problems. Lat time it happened later in the DVD. Is there any way that I can check the audio to see if it is going to play? Music plays in the video wizzard, windows media player and also in the movie file created.

What did you set your output audio (format) at? There are quite a few choices.

Okay, I admit I do not have a clue what I set audio output too! I don't even know where to look. What should I have it set for????

 

[MaryEM]

I found it in Export. Layer I LayerII AC3 and Linear PCM. I did not find the help section very good on this. How do I know which one to use???

Well when I'm doing a full DVD I actually set it here:

Try AC3 2 channel as LPCM creates a huge file.

I will give this a try. I got this this point, I was so stuck. Three times I saved, exported, burned DVD's, checked out the audio file on the time line. Once again you come to my rescue! Thank you again. I will update on how I made out.
This is a cool skyski video of my friends that I am trying to finish.......

I looked at this and the only thing different was the bit rate is set at 9100,
Should I set it to 9800?
The audio plays on the DVD maker preview and on the timeline. could it be in the something I am doing in imgburn?

I think that the problem is in my audio files. I am going to redo the music and try again. I just tried burning DVD through Nero and the same problem happened. So at least I think I have found whats wrong........

The video bitrate doesn't affect the audio, nor should the burning program.

Sorry, I missed your post earlier. I did some checking into my audio, two files were bad! So, I have learned a lesson, take time and zoom in on the audio peaks, make sure that there is no flat lines! Also, I found a free BitrateView program, that scans project and it gives all the required info. Thanks again for you assistance.
I am now taking a break from editing! Project is awesome!

Sounds like you are becoming a real pro. GSpot is also a good app to add to your arsenal.

Mystic Eyes: Thanks, only with your help!
Have you figured out a way to to put credits and the end of a movie? It is just nice to have a closing instead of fading out the video.
