Guys, I just downloaded a few .wmv movie files onto my computer and the sound is there when I play them, but after I burn them onto a DVD there's no audio?? I went back and clicked "preview" on NERO before attempting to burn them again (something I should have done before burning the previous >.<) and also noticed that there isn't any audio, but the visuals are perfectly fine. I also tried playing the burned DVD on Windows Media Player 10 but I got the same results. Does anyone know what my problem is and how to fix this? Thank you.
how are you burning the DVDs what mode is it in?? and what version nero are you using?? if your burning as regular iso files then it should play the wmv fines... since you can hear the audio when it's on your comp....
By mode, you mean like format? It's NTSC. And I have the latest version of NERO. And well I can hear the audio from the files when I play them directly, but not when I play them from the DVD. Even when I play the DVD on WMP it doesn't have any sound.
how are you burning them - are you burning the files direct to dvd as data or are you converting them to dvd video file then burning a dvd-video? If your converting, it may be that the converter does not properly support wmv conversion to dvd and so no sound. Trt converting the wmv files with winAVI first then use nero to burn them
Yes, I'm burning them directly, no converting, no anything. I even tried changing the ext. to .avi instead of wmv but that didn't help either. Still gave me the same disappointing results. :(
well if it's in iso format and your just directly burning the wmv files then there shouldn't be any problems... since the wmv work fine on the comp.... does your dvd support wmv files?? changing the file ext. isn't going to help... umm... hmm.. that is really freakin' wierd... I dunno what to tell ya... maybe it's something to do with 7... I recommend you stick with 6... as it pretty much gets the job done minus all those extra stuff on that's on 7. so yea maybe try using nero 6 and then see wha happens...

But the thing is, I'm just having trouble figuring out why the DVD won't play sounds even on my computer. If I can play the files perfectly fine before burning them, what does burning them make any difference? -huh changing the file ext. isn't going to help... umm... hmm.. that is really freakin' wierd... -Yeah, I figured haha. Stupid me... but this has never happened before. I'm thinking it has something to do with the format of the files, but I just can't figure out what it is. I dunno what to tell ya... maybe it's something to do with 7... I recommend you stick with 6... as it pretty much gets the job done minus all those extra stuff on that's on 7. so yea maybe try using nero 6 and then see wha happens... -So I'll have to download NERO 6? *sigh* Maybe I'll just watch it directly from my computer instead of burning it....
well geez -lol you'll through the pain of doing all that other stuff to test n burn... but you just won't download Nerp 6...!? -lol. I mean you have to look at some important factors here... for one is it your first time burning wmv onto a DVD... 2. have you maybe tried another media player?? ahh it boggles my mind how the video gets burned perfectly and yet the audio is left out... there's like no way Nero would rencode the file and leave out the audio. so much confusion -confused
lol because I just went through all that trouble trying to brun it, I can't be bothered attempting to download NERO 6 and trying all over again. No energy or will power left lol. Maybe I'll try again later tonight if I feel like it. And you are not the only one confused! I actually did a search about this on google, and to my surprise, A LOT of other people have had this same problem. No one knows how to fix it though :( and for the people who DO understand how to fix the problem, I can't understand a single thing they're saying because of all the tech terms. -dead Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to add is that the audio is not in English. It's in Vietnamese. Could that be one of the reasons? *sigh* this sucks.
lol just take a deep breath... and relax... now slowly take off your clothes... umm i mean uhh... yea nero right.. -lol. Really though are the people having the same prob also running Nero 7?? or maybe the audio is like in a diff. channel and it's like being played from where there is no audio?? it is just in one audio?? so is there an actually solution but you jus haven't tried it yet??
lol yeah it's just in one audio. Here are the solutions that I found from somebody who has the same problems as me: Solution: Now what the heck does all that mean? -what?
it mean's that they're ripping the video to DVD format and chose the wrong audio... but that shouldn't even relate to your problem because you're burning WMV files in ISO format... just dragging and dropping them into NERO. No encoding involved... so it's basically the same video file as it was on your computer.. but yet there is no audio... so I'm just like super -huh as you are...
Exactly! So I'm like totally weirded out. I have no idea why NERO is doing this.. So this guy is not experiencing the same problem as me huh? Thanks for clarifying that. See how clueless I am when it comes to this kind of stuff? That's why I figured I'd come here to ask because there seems to be a lot of guys here that are technically savvy....but I guess my problem doesn't have a solution :( Also found this page: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/351846 But again, have no idea what the 2 guys are talking about. Plus this guy is able to hear audio when played on the comp, whereas I can't hear it from either.
ahahha omg i feel like ripping my hair out!! -censored -lol. ok forget those guys with there encoded DVD. because if it was an encoding issue then that could be easily solved... but your probably is that your burning the same untouched video file onto a DVD and the audio will not playback.. and really the people at afterdawn are way more "technically savvy" in regards to working with cd/dvds than anyone on this forum -lol. but it's jus that ya not looking at the right problem n solution. ok so just try another media player see if it plays the dvd correctly. if not just download Nero 6 and see what happens. Oh also. IMAGERECORDER!! trying burning it into an image file instead and load it on your comp so you don't have to waste a DVD to test your results... and if you had no idea what i mean please -dead me now...
Okay then, I guess I'm going to have to kill you because I have no idea what you just said! lol -sweat sorry :( About the afterdawn people, well they're a little TOO "technically savvy" if you know what I mean. So savvy that whatever they're saying is like a foreign language to me. Hahha that's why I came here because at least I can understand some of the stuff you guys say. Those guys are like wayyy out there lol. Oh and yeah, so what are trying to tell me in your last paragraph again? >.< Computer dummy here! Talk to me as if I'm your 5 year old sister. lol But, try not to curse... heheh
basically it's an option to write the DVD-Image onto your computer instead of actually burning to DVD. however you need a virtual disc drive manager like DAEMON MANAGER in order to load the image file.... but uhh gee even if i had a 5 year old sister she'd probably be more technically savvy than you.. -lol. jk... but umm kinda tired... try out at least something that i've mention... -lol. if you need help just message me or something.. and i'll help ya out when i wake up from my deep slumber!! Peace. -bigsmile
Yeah, she probably would be. :( Ahhh forget it, I'm going to go take a nap also. All these tech terms are making me sleepy lol. Thanks for all your help though, Ecko.
Ok, so i've just been following this. Hmph...as far as i understand or see it, the problem seems to be with nero's ability to rip that movie to a dvd. Did the last movies you ripped to dvd with nero play? Did you do anything different when rpping this dvd? What media are you using?...as in what brand of dvd? Was this dvd from a torrent site or was it a copy from another dvd? ps...afterdawn has really good info, and you don't need to be tech savy to get it there ecko..
damn did you read even read the thing... she's not rippin' a DVD... it's just straight burn in ISO format.... the brand isn't going to affect the audio not recording onto the disc... and I did say Afterdawn got good info.
i use ripping in the same sense as burning..no dif to me..and yes..brand can affect...as the quality of the media can affect how the files are written to it..one option is to also try ripping it to a dif brand of dvds...all these are things ur trying to find what exactly is the problem.
