locutor Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have just burned a series of VTS files (a film) from an external hard drive to a D/L DVD. When I play the 'verified' DVD on my television, there is no sound. But if I play the same DVD on my laptop, the sound (audio) is there as normal. Any advice/suggestions as to why this should be will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locutor Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I may have identified the problem - a difference between burner write speed and DVD supported write speeds. Although I do not understand how that should create a difference between replay on a DVD player wired to my TV and replay on my computer...........

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 This isn't related to the burning stage, it'll be down to how your files were created and authored into a proper DVD video compliant set of folders/files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 It's probably either a problem with your DVD player connected to the TV or the TV itself. Of the 2, it's most likely the DVD player. Somehow, it doesn't support the audio codecs used to create the files in your VTS folder. I've seen a case where this can happen. I discovered if I used flexible recording speed on my Panasonic DVD recorder, the first model of Playstation 2 would gradually cause audio to be out of synch with the video. No other players did this and it was fixed by the time Sony made its Playstation 3. The best thing you can do at this point is try the DVD in a different DVD player, preferably not made by the same company as yours, connected to a different TV. See if you still get no sound.
