Burned DVD: sound suddenly disappears? something, suddenly, burning, problem

andy

Hi,
I am realatively new to DVD burning/modification etc, and I am now facing a weird problem:
I have burned a DVD (went from DVD9 to DVD5), but when I play this DVD5 the sound disappears after aprox. 1 hr. Initially I thought something went wrong when going from DVD9 to DVD5, so I did that again. Same problem... Next i demuxed the DVD5 VOB files, but the resulting AC3 (or when I choose WAV) file are perfectly OK, so no lost of sound. In other words, the VOB files seem to be fine....

Can anyone explain what may be the cause of this, and how to solve this??

Thanks,
S

Hi!

1) What is the Title and Region of your original, purchased DVD?

2) What software and SPECIFIC procedures did you use to rip and compress the copy of your original, purchased DVD?

3) Does the original, purchased DVD exhibit the same behavior?

Thanks for replying!
I immediately apologize for not giving all details:

- Kill Bill part I, region 2 (NL).
- ripped DVD with DVD-decrypter.
- encoded with DVD-RB + CCE as encoder, 3 pass.
NB: Step 2+3 worked fine for 3 other titles...
- original DVD doesn't display this behaviour.

As said before, since when demuxing the VOBs I end up with perfectly fine WAV or AC3 files, I don't believe the problem is caused by DVD-RB.

Meanwhile, I found out that when I demux the 'shrunken' VOBs with PgcDemux, and then 'rebuild' the resulting *.m2v, *.ac3 and *.sup files with MuxMan v0.15N, this results in a DVD (using an DVD-RW) that played fine (but only after 3 tries!) when played in a stand-alone player (Pioneer 757Ai).
The non-demuxed/remuxed original shrunken VOBs (DVD-RB output) still give problems with the sound, even after repeated trying ..... ???

Does the DVD-RB quot;packagequot; (.IFOs, .BUPs, .VOBs) on your hard drive also exhibit this behavior when played quot;AS DVDquot; (NOT simply individual .VOBs) with an appropriate DVD software player, such as WinDVD, PowerDVD or (freeware) VLC?

Does the burned DVD exhibit this problematic behavior when played on your PC, your standalone DVD player, or both?

wehh, I am getting mad...

I used DVD-RB again. Now the DVD-RB package plays fine, as does the burned DVD on my PC when I use VLC to watch. When I use WinDVD, it gives the sound problem again ...
When played on my stand-alone Pioneer, 3 out of 4 times the DVD will play WITHOUT sound, but nevertheless it works fine once in a while... ???

I give up, bad luck with this DVD....

Thanks Setarip for taking the effort to help me!

Sounds like it might be poor quality media (or too fast a burn speed) causing your inconsistent problem.Thanks Setarip for taking the effort to help me!

As always, my pleasure ;gt;}
