Greetings all,
New to using Win 7 dvd maker. Burned a file to dvdr disc. Have video but no audio when put in dvd player. Have used g-spot to identify the audio codec. Now what to do ? or will I need to purchase software to make this work ? Thx.It should be working...
Speakers work otherwise ? ?
Have you checked Control Panel/Sound to make sure nothings on mute ? ?Let me start over. Took a home video that I WISHED to send to a family member on a disc that they could play on their TV dvd player. Successfully burned the disc w/Win 7 DVD maker. When I put the disc in my DVD player - video great/no audio. When I preview the video in the Win 7 dvd maker program it also has video but no audio. Over an hour ago I googled "No audio in Win 7 dvd maker" and became exponentially confused about supported audio codecs in Win 7 dvd maker. Thx.I suspect the way it was recorded as the issue then...Win7 ships with all the latest vid and audio codecs.

Actually now after re-reading your post for the 3rd time it may have been the format you burned it in...find out what format the TV DVD player uses and re-burn it in that format...What was the original source of the video/audio and precisely how were they input to the computer?truenorthOriginally recorded via Toshiba Camileo H30 camcorder. Downloaded to my pictures "Open folder to view files using windows explorer". When opened with windows media player audio works. g-spot identified the following audio codecs.

Audio Format:
Code: 0x00ff:

The following codecs all claim to be capable of processing this format:

{MPA Decoder Filter}
{ffdshow Audio Decoder}
--> {DivX AAC Decoder}
{RealAudio Decoder}

DirectShow was also able to find a codec to render it - the sound for this media clip should work fine.

See the DirectShow Render details for more info. You didn't answer my question above...what media files/sources does the TV DVD recorder support ? ?Sorry - My TV DVD player - DVD video, DVD+R/RW {VR format}, DVD-R/RW [Video format}, CD-R/RW, Audio CD , MP3. Yet I STILL believe there is an issue with Win7 DVD maker decoding the audio format because I get video but no audio when I preview the file within the Win 7 DVD maker.This is the part that baffles me " When opened with windows media player audio works." Can we presume that when you say the audio works it is in both instances of from the "my pictures" computer file and the cd disc or is it just from the file?Do you have any other dvd burning software you can try? We know at LEAST the audio did get transfered from the camcorder to the computer so i believe you may be correct that the issue is with the file format it is on the disc.I have not used win 7 dvd maker so i don't know what your choices are re the video/audio formats available within that program.Can i assume that you have never done this before with that program? truenorthTruenorth - Every statement you made is spot - on. The transfer from camera to computer is good and I have audio when I play the file on my computer using windows media player. The issue is with using The Win7 DVD maker to create a disc that will work in a (standard) TV DVD player. And yes this is my first time using Win7 DVD maker. I gather that there are programs available for purchase that will do this for me, but I always prefer free (if it will work). I have downloaded a program from Major Geeks called "Format Factory" that I am hoping it will convert the file into an audio codec that Win7 DVD maker can use. Will let you know. Thx.Ok, Here is what i would like you to do.Download and install this FREE dvd burner program

To put your mind at ease i have used this program countless times. It is by far my preferred burning software for DVD even instead of many paid DVD burning software programs i have also used. If it works for you i want you to come back and tell us.Then i shall tell you something that seems to be almost unique to this program that is a tremendous advantage even above paid software in my opinion. Use the file you already transfered from the camcorder that is in your "my pictures". In setting up the burn process make sure that you check to finalize the disc. If you have any questions re the process come back and we shall see what we can do. Good luck,truenorthThank you Truenorth. Before I came back to read your post "File Factory" had finished converting to video clip to another AVI file. I then used' Win 7 DVD maker' to burn that file to disc and the audio works. I have downloaded the link you GAVE and will start from scratch with it to see if that is an easier process. Thanks again for your help.Great to hear that at least you have made a successful usable disc. I must confess i know nothing about "File Factory" however the "unique advantage " in the "sothink" (to be divulged ) is what sets it apart.truenorthTruenorth - No way to install sothink without it installing incredibar toolbar and changing my default homepage in FF and IE, both of which give me a warning from WOT. Is it safe to proceed with the install and then remove all the add - ons?. Thx.Very interesting! No additional features (other than the dvd burner software) have been required as a condition of downloading the software. As to the FORWARD ability to uninstall the additional non desired items i cannot comment as it has not occurred on any of my downloads of Sothink.
I am offering an alternative site where you can see if the same situation occurs.
