I have 3 episodes (13-15) of LOST in AVI format that I'm trying to burn to DVD. When I convert to MPEG or to DVD using various conversion or DVD authoring programs, I get no sound. Here's what I've tried...
Cucusoft AVI to DVD converter
DIKO (tried, but cudn't get it to work)
DivXtoDVD
AVI2DVD
TMPGEnc DVD Author
ULead DVD MovieFactory
I tried various combinations of AVI to MPEG, then to DVD - or AVI straight to DVD. I'm writing DVDs to an image file first so I don't waste DVDs in this process. I do, of course, have sound on my original files. AVIcodec info for Episode 13 (for example):
File: 697 MB, duration: 0:42:21, type: AVI, 1 audio stream(s), quality: 84 %
Video: 581 MB, 1919 Kbps, 23.976 fps, 960*528 (16:9), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4, Supported
Audio: 116 MB, 384 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 6 channels, 0x2000 = AC3 DVM, Supported
After converting to MPG:
File: 1.78 GB (0.00 B), duration: 0:42:20, type: MPG, 0 audio stream(s), quality: 65 %
Video: 2.66 GB, 9000 Kbps, 25.0 fps, 720*576 (4:3), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD), Supported
The above MPG was created from Cucusoft AVI to DVD. I realize that the "0 audio stream(s)" and the fact that there's no info line for AUDIO is indicative of my problem. But the strange part is, I get sound when I play the MPG file in ALL players (InterVidoe WinDVD, RealPlayer, QuickTime) except Windows Media Player. But in some cases (using other programs to go from AVI or MPG straight to DVD image files), I got no sound no matter what player I used.
My system is a Sony VAIO laptop; 1.7GHz, 75GB disk, 512MB RAM
Even stranger still, I successfully converted (and burned to disk) Episodes 1 thru 12 - as well as a few other misc videos I had on disk. In addition to these three Episodes of LOST Season 1, I've tried doing the first 4 of Season 2 - same result. Any and all help appreciated.
