    No sound on some movie clips

    Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}

    If you are willing to help me, please read this entire explanation of my dilemma and I will try to give all the info I can to help you understand my problem.  I am using S12.1 on a windows XP SP3 machine.  I am having a problem with movie clips losing sound when I make a DVD, I have added an additional soundtrack to some of these clips and it plays just fine.  I have tried to replace the clips with new originals and change the transition before the clips.  I double check the clips to make sure the volume line is turned up.  I have played the DVD in two different DVD players and my PC, using “WinDVD” and the problem exists on all mediums.  When I experience this problem, I make some changes to the movie and try burning it again.  Sometimes the clips will work the second time, but other clips, that had sound, will lose their sound!  I have used the “chat online four different times to solve this problem but none of their suggestions have worked.  Sometimes I think they are just reading “generic” solutions and passing them along to me without understanding the problem.

     

    Before I burn a DVD, I:

     

    ·         Delete all auxiliary files and restart my computer

    ·         After re-starting, I close all background programs, using “Enditall”

    ·         In “Make Movie” I select “always re-code entire movie” (as I was told by Pinnacle tech staff)

    ·         I use a DVD –RW disc.

     

    Can anyone help me?

    Did you see the replies to your earlier thread?

    I wonder if there is something a little unusual about the movie clips you are using. Did you capture them in Studio, or are they from somewhere else?

    I forgot I had started that thread.  I am using an Xacti movie camera that places the clips on an SD card, so I just move them to my hard drive then select them in the edit phase.

    Re: No sound on some movie clips

    There a quite a lot of those cameras. My guess would be that there is something within the sound coding of your clips that triggers the issue. My suggested workaround (apart from reporting the video parameters to Pinnacle and waiting for a fix Sleep ) would be to convert to clips to something else before you start making movies.

    You could run a short test, and see if it fixes the problem. There might be a small drop in quality, but it would isolate the issue to your source footage.

    ADDED - but as soon as I posted, look what came up!

    Could you also provide us a Gspot screenshot of the raw videos?
