Hello guys!
I have a question that is really, really gettin on my nerve's for the past day or so. I am trying to make (legal) backups of a few dvd's I own, and they burn fine and everything, the video looks fine, but theres no audio on my home dvd player(s)! This only happens on certain dvd's, such as Constantine, and Ultra Violet, but movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Dave Chappelle's season 2 burn perfect with audio. I rip and burn them all the same way, and use the same media (TDK DVD+R), I simply dont know why one movie would burn fine, yet another burns with no audio. After I used dvd dycryptor to rip the movie files, I even tried playing just the files on my computer and the movie played fine with audio, yet when I burn the files, there will be no sound on my dvd player. I am using dvd dycryptor and I even tried AnyDVD to rip, im using One Click Dvd Copy Pro to burn the movies. I dont think im doing anything wrong since some movies work, and some don't. Any suggestions guys? I could really use some advice, it hurts burning coasters =(

Most likly the reason this happens is you are keeping the DTS audio and striping the AC3 5.1 audio. Your DVD/AUDIO systen has to have a DTS decoder to hear the sound. If your DVD system and your home audio system dosent suport DTS then you will have no sound.
If you have kept both DTS and AC3 audio on the DVD try hitting the audio button on your DVD remote see if it will switch to AC3. If you kept both DTS and AC3 switiching the channel with the audio button on your DVD should give you sound when it switches to AC3.
If you selected DTS and not AC3 during Transcoding then you will have to transcode it again and keep the AC3 and edit out the DTS.
I keep both AC3 and DTS audio when I encode my DVD's. I have a DTS decoder but I lend out my DVD's so I keep both AC3 and DTS so when I loan them out they can hear the audio with the AC3 audio. If you dont have a DTS decoder for your sound system then you might as well edit the DTS out.

Nice call Larrylje..... some people get the director comments instead of the movie! hitting the audio button on the remote corrects this. I do like Larrylje does.... I keep the DTS and the AC3 audio channels but I do the 5.1 only..... this way the directors comments (AC3/2 channel) is not recorded and only the AC3/6 is. So no director comments for me! Just the movie and the audio!

I have looked into this problem before I posted and read this somewhere too, but I tried it and it still dosent work =(
I am doing full disc backups so I dont think its taking out AC3, plus I have a DTS supported dvd player. Crazy huh?

is your player hooked up correctly? did you try hitting that audio button on the remote? if you are making a full backup then you should have all the audio channels recorded on the dvd! just change the audio channel.... if you still can't hear the audio then it's hooked up wrong! maybe you have hit the MUTE button???? or you just didn't put up the volume!

It dosent necesarly mean you will hear DTS if your DVD player is DTS compatible. That just means your DVD player can read the DTS track and send it to your optical output. You will still need a TV/Audio system that has a DTS decoder to hear DTS audio.
You could also try to use a diffrent program (DVD Shrink, Nero Recode2, CloneDVD) I have never used DVD Copy Pro but there should be an option that you can double check and make sure you have the AC3 and DTS selected as audio sources.

but Larry, it stands to reason if this is a full backup and should have all the audio channels and should play just fine on the player! If it only plays the video with no audio, then something is very wrong.... like fz3r0 didn't record it correctly with audio! Or the volume is off or the mute button is on. What you said about DTS decoder is correct.... like not only the player but the stereo or the amp must have a DTS decoder, too. But for the same reason if it doesn't then it would follow to the AC3 audio file! but it doesn't therefor no audio.
1. it's recorded incorrectly
2. the volume is off, or muted; turn it on or press the mute button again to UNMUTE.
3. hit the audio channel on the player/remote to change the audio channel.
if this doesn't work, then you tell me what's wrong!

I agree with you IHoe if he is doing a full backup then it should do at least the AC3 audio.
I would discard the volume being down or it being muted or not setup right if he can play other DVD's with sound. Which in his first post he said he has no sound on a few of the DVD's.
If that is the case then it has to be a problem with the program settings or program itself that he is using to do the backup of the DVD.
I have never used One Click Dvd Copy Pro but I do know some programs will let you chamge the default settings in the program to your liking. So when he does do a full backup the program will use whatever default setings he has set up. So I was thinking maybe somehow he has selected a setting to use DTS audio when it is present.
I duno if there is even an option like that with the program he is using, but it has to be due to something with the program and not his sound being muted or turned down if other DVD's he plays has sound.

and I agree with you, that's why I said in my #1 answer..... recorded wrong!Whether is was his setting or he didn't tick the audio channel correctly it's the program that was used to back up the DVD without sound... with DTS and he can't reproduce it through his tv/audio system or there is just something wrong that he is not telling us how he did it. Sooooooo we are saying the same things but differently! LOL

Ok, well I have found the solution...well kinda ;)
As it turns out, the two dvd players at my girlfriends house are too cheap or somethin. I took the dvd's back to my house and they all played fine on my crappy $20 wal-mart apex dvd player. She has a really nice sony dvd player but its really old, it was like one of the first ones to come out back in the day, I guess its too old to play dvd-r's properly. And she also had a crappy apex dvd player in her room (yea it was worse than my $20 apex, hard to believe huh?). So to come to a conclusion, nothing was wrong with the dvd's, just the dvd player =)
Thank you so much guys for your help. Im sorry you all wrote such detailed help and it turns out I was just a fool =(

yeah....... I knew there was something wrong here....... I just went out and bought a new Sony DVD player because my older one (4 yrs old now) doesn't play MP3s and DVD-Rs (which I just bought 2 50 spindles of DVD-Rs Taiyo Yudens) and I even went out an upgraded my burner to a BenQ 1655 external. Soooooo now I'm really set.
