It may be obvious to experienced users, but it took me a couple of days to figure out how this works. Hope this is useful for someone else.

When importing files into your DVD authoring software, you may get the error message that there's no audio, and/or the format's wrong.

If there's no audio, you should strip the audio into a separate wave file using a program like VirtualDub. See other posts on how to do this. The stripping software may strip the audio, but put it into a format that won't work in DVD Author.

If there is audio, and the format's wrong, you can use CoolEdit to change the audio format (and stretch the file if for some reason you lose sync)(Minion put me on to this one)

After you've created the .wav file using your choice of strippers, launch CoolEdit, and use the "File-Open" menus to open your wave file.

Then use the edit menu and select "convert sample type". In the control that opens up, you can select the 48000Hz sample type, select "stereo" and "16 bit" Then press OK

When it's done, go to the file menu, and select "save as". When the control opens, select "Windows PCM format"

You're done!Use this .wav file as your input to DVD Author.

If there is interest on how to use cool to stretch or compress the file lenght to provide a better synchronization, I can write that up too.

im doing that very same thing , my dv footage has 12 mins of audio where it is about 6 semitones lower than it should be and thus the audio lenght is longer becasue of it, which in turn makes the audio out of sync with video.

using cool edit, i can stretch to fit actual length of segment and raise the pitch by 6 semitones , which is roughly the correct pitch.{ no reference for this, only by ear}


some good features with cool edit, raise tempo and preserve pitch, or raise pitch and preserve tempo {length}.


i stil have cool edit 2, no real need for audition as premier is probably the best non linear video editing app ive used.

I use BeSweet and LAME for most of my audio conversions.
