Sound on dvds poor

[sandygf]

Finally I was able to play a burned dvd on my tvs dvd player. Unfortunately the sound was horrible, like coming from the bottom of a barrel.

Does anyone know how to correct this? Does it just depend on what I download or is there something I can do regarding the sound?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Could you please post some more info, like what programs you use to convert/burn the file and also the format and size of the sourcefile.

Any answer given with just the info you posted would be guessing.

Thanks so much for responding to my post. I used something called dvdsanta to convert and burn the dvd.

The file size was 496MB.

Once again thanks. A better way to describe the sound quality would be to say it was muffled sounding. I had to listen very closely to understand the words. The video quality was great tho.

I just can't figure it out.

Hmm. Never used DVD Santa. Most of the people on the forum have gone over to SUPER, especially since both DVD Santa and Nero started having conversion problems.

It's freeware so your welcome to try it. It might work better. You will have to do it in two steps though. First convert with SUPER and then make/burn the DVD structure on to disk using a program capable of doing this.

These are the settings I used last time:

Attachment 2970

BTW you choose output folder by right-clicking somewhere on screen and then go to "Specify the output folder destination"

Regarding the sound it might be a good idea to identify the format/codec used. You can use this tool for that:

Just download and open the program, then drag the file into the screen. It will then display all available info on it. In your case I would especially look at the audio section, as I might help you make the choice of what format to convert to. It will most likely be mp3 stereo at that filesize, but just to make sure.
