MPEG2- DVD missing audio

I recently exported a project in MPEG2-DVD and played it from my desktop before burning to a disc. There is no audio in the export. What did I do wrong, and how do I best export this 52 minute project to disc keeping HD resolution and audio? Is there a better codec to use?

Stan,
Thanks for your advice - I tried exporting the file with H.264 as you suggested and it worked perfectly.
The next problem was trying to download the 8GB file onto a flashdrive which gave me error messages of not being able to handle a file of that size. Research on he web and I figured out how to reformat the drive from fat32 to ntsl.
Again, thanks for the help. I'm going to revisit Lynda.com on exporting and formats!

Exporting audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd

Hi, I'm trying to export audio and video together for Mpeg2 dvd.. I changed multiplexing to DVD but is still exporting seperately is there something im missing? thanksa

To add, with Multiplexing set to NONE, check what the Audio format is set to. If "PCM", this is an uncompressed .wav file and will result in export of .m2v video and .wav audio (I think Mac uses .aif) and use "Import as Timeline" in Encore for both clips at once. Encore will automatically transcode the audio to Dolby AC-3, do NOT mess with settings in Encore, defaults are correct. If you have CS6, then in AME audio settings, there is an option for Dolby and you can use that to create the .ac3 audio and then Encore does NOT do any transcoding to audio or video. Note that older versions will also show "Dolby" but that is a free trial of a surround encoder, not the same. You just want the stereo option available in CS6, or use PCM option is fine

Audio in movie burned to DVD missing or sporadic.

I have converted a movie to Quicktime using MPeG Streamclip; something I have done numerous times. The converted movie plays fine with good audio on my iMac hard drive. I want to simply burn the movie to a DVD (without turning it into a project). But, after burning the movie to a DVD the audio only comes though sporadically and out of sync, AND it seems the DVD does not want to respond to my "control". Meaning, when I hit the stop button the DVD continues to play a bit before stopping. I have burned a number of DVDs with this burner - succesfully I might add - and this is the first I have had this problem. Is it possible the burner is failing or is there another problem I am missing? Thanks!

Further to the above problem, I burned a DVD of the same movie in another machine and have the same problem with the playback. The sound plays only intermittantly. Seems is may be a problem with the conversion of the movie but still hoping for feedback from the community. Thanks.

Mpeg2 DVD VOBs Video and Audio into QuickTime ?

How can I read the mpeg2 VOB files from some DVD that we created into QuickTime Pro with the MPEG2 playback component ?
We have an app that does video and audio processing built on QuickTime. After the processing is done the result is written to an mp4 file using QuickTime export. We now have to be able to read DVDs that we create into this app (QuickTime), and after processing we must se the QuickTime export option to create the mp4 file. These are not commercial DVDs and are not copy protected. I'd like to just be able to read the mpeg2 video and audio directly into QuickTime but I haven't yet found a good way to do this. Here is what I have tried:
1) I can read individual VOB files with QuickTime, but I don't get any audio and I need all the VOB files as one.
2) I have used MPEG Streamclip to open the DVD VOB files and exported the demuxed mpeg2 video and aiff audio. Both files open together in QuickTime but since the total size of the video is over 4 GB the video and audio are off and drift more so throughout the video.
3) I used libdvdread to read the DVD and create a single MPEG2 file. This can be read by QuickTime but I don't get any audio. From what I understand this is muxed video and audio which QuickTime doesn't understand, but is playable by VLC.
I think I could probably ulibdvdread to read the VOB files into a muxed MPEG2 file, then use ffmpeg to convert this to a very large DV stream, then import that into QuickTime, but there has to be a better way than to do the lengthly and large file size conversion to DV which is not a format I ultimately want.
Before we go and write our own, I'm looking for a simple way to read the mpeg2 video and audio from a DVD format directly into QuickTime and preferably something that can be integrated into our app and not use another commercial stand alone app.

OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

Missing Audio When Burning A DVD For Grandma

I've created a short 8 minute video with an audio track on top of it. The 8 minutes consists of a 2 minute video opening created in quicktime. 4 minute slide show imported from iPhoto and 2 minutes of closing credits created in iMovie. The 8 minute soundtrack was created in garage band using several iTunes tracks. (I'M TRYING TO BE ALL APPLE!!)
Everything looks great when I preview in iDVD. However, when I burn the dvd the audio drops out about 3 minutes into the video and then starts up again at the very end (out of synch of course).
I've tried everything I can think of - created an image in iDVD and burned using disc utilities , swapped out the audio tracks, changed the photos...still nothing works.
Any suggestions?? We have a first birthday coming up and we really want to get this to Grandma. Thanks.

Hi
Can be audio from iTunes or strange file formats eg .mp3 etc.
iTunes - Copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff
Other audio formats - convert to .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
Use this and it most probably works.

DVD Mpeg2 codec missing

Hello, im have a problem with my premiere cs6 and AME not having a mpeg2 dvd codec during exporting to encore. I have no clue as to why this has happen. Has this happen to anyone else? Also i tried to update and could not.....I received this message:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.1 Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7
can some one help with these please.
Thanks

Here is the Mac version:

MPEG2 encoding fails, but MPEG2 DVD and MPEG2 Blu-ray works

Hey friends,
Every time I try to export with the standalone MPEG2 format option in Premiere Pro CS4 the file comes out empty (0 bytes) and both Windows Media Player 11 and Adobe Encore 4.0.1 say that my machine lacks the necessary codec to play the file (although, I'm thinking that this message is popping up really just because the file is empty/corrupted. I'm running on Vista SP1). Nevertheless, if I export to the MPEG2 Blu-Ray format with not too dissimilar values, everything works fine. The MPEG2 DVD format also works, granted that's lower bitrate and resolution. So, what gives? Could it have something to do with the audio?
My source files are NTSC 29.97fps HDV 1080i .mpeg files, captured from DV tape.
Here are the settings I'm using with the regular MPEG2 encoding (which fails as mentioned):
NTSC, 1440x1080i, 29.97fps, 18.50 max Mbps, 48kHz MPEG audio, which gives me a final file extension of .mpg
And the settings for the MPEG2 Blu-Ray encoding (which works perfectly):
NTSC, 1440x1080i, 29.97fps, 30.00 max Mbps, 48kHZ PCM audio, which gives me a final file extension of .m2v with a separate .wav audio file
Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Did I just completely miss the boat on some well known MPEG2 audio encoding issue or something?
Oh, and my system is Core 2 Duo 3.33 Ghz 4 gigs of ram gigantic harddrive, etc. I'm fairly certain this isn't a hardware issue. The source files playback without hesitation and the rendering time is not overly long.

Since the destination is DVD, don't waste the time or resources to encode at HDV frame sizes. It will just have to be encoded again so that it will fit the standard def DVD frame size. Re-transcoding will significantly reduce final quality.
NTSC DVD:
720x480 with a PAR of 0.9
29.97 fps
"Best Practices" would dictate elementary (separate) video and audio streams (.m2v and .wav). Avoid multiplexed .mpg files.
"Easiest Practices" would dictate exporting from Premiere as an .avi file and letting Encore handle the transcoding automatically.

Unable to export to MPEG2-DVD! Very weird situation .. Please Help!

Hi Folks,
I've been using Pro for years.
Currently using CS6 - a fresh install from the cloud as of a couple days ago.
So, I have a project ready for DVD.
File / Export Media .. this brings up the Export Settings.
I choose MPEG2-DVD as the Format with Match Source Attributes as the Preset, then hit Queue.
Normally, this would queue the export in Adobe Media Encoder as .m2v but for some unexplicable reason - this isn't occuring.
Instead, Adobe Media Encoder drops the MPEG2-DVD format and replaces with the AAC Audio format!?
What the?
Am I losing the plot? Have I missed something?
File / Export Media / Format MPEG2-DVD = .aac file (only) in Adobe Media Encoder??

Thank you Ann.
Turns out I had missed an update for Adobe Media Encoder in the Adobe Application Manager.
I had installed the software yesterday and so I assumed I had the latest version. I was wrong.

Mpeg2-DVD issue

Hi all,
I recently shot a show in 1920x1080, 17mbps, AVCHD.
I am exporting it to mpeg2-dvd but for some reason the end of the movie clip is missing but the audio is fine.
Here is a picture to shwo what I am trying to explain,
I am encoding part 2 right now I will update this post when it has finished. Any help would be great with this issue,
-Giannis

What I am doing is this
-Selecting the first half of the show on my premier pro cs6 window, the footage is HD
-Then I select mpeg2-dvd from the export settings panel
-I then send the file over to media encoder and encode the file
-When the file is done I am left with this...
As you can see the end part of the movie clip is missing.
No chapter markers.

IMovie to iDVD Missing Audio

Weird issue that I can't seem to find solution too after searching the discussions. Imported some footage from DV camera, short little movie of the kid. Laid a sound track over it and then used it in an iDVD project and now about 30 secs into the movie the original audio off the DV is missing. Starts out fine - audio and soundtrack, then the vocals (original DV audio) just go missing.
Odd thing is I have made hundreds of movies like this and never had a problem. Matter of fact I exported this particular movie to MPEG4 and it was fine, it only seems to happen on conversion to MPEG2 (ala iDVD). I even tried converting to MPEG2/DVD via FFMPEGX and sure enough it occurs there also. So its something in the conversionto MPEG2.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?
FYI - I believe the audio is 16bit - as recommended. Latest iLife - iMovie 6.x, etc with all current updates.
G4/400 (AGP) and iBook 2001 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If you are really using OS X 10.2 with iLife 06, then I guess your 'voodoo' name is right...

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

Slow rendering from DVCPro-HD to MPEG2-DVD?

I have a home built PC with a quadcore 9450 chip, 8GB ram, Vista-64 Business, Mercury rendering (GTX460) - so it's not a particularly slow machine. My current project is 2 hours, 45 minutes long, shot on DVC-Pro HD 720-30P. It is one continuous take from a concert. I've added chapter points for each song, but otherwise have not edited it (besides mixing the audio levels.) With CS5, to export to MPEG2-DVD (VBR-one pass, quality level 5) takes about 16 to 17 hours. A friend with an i7 computer (which I built for him) says I need to contact Adobe because it should not be taking that long to render. If I import the Premiere sequence directly into Encore, that render takes only a few hours (not sure of the exact time) but the quality sucks. My 17 hour render looks pretty awesome for such a long project. With CS4 and a similar length project, it was around 7 or 8 hours with the same machine. Is something wrong, or is it normal for such long render times?

If I understand it correctly, your time-line is 2:45 (hh:mm) long and takes around 17 hours to export. Correct?
That is pretty good for a Q9450 with 8 GB RAM. Those systems are on average around 15 - 20 times slower than a fast system with MPEG2-DVD export, so it would take a fast system around 1 hour. Now that looks like a perfectly acceptable figure. You have to keep in mind that with hardware MPE you can only compare that with CS4 export times with MRQ (Maximum Render Quality) turned on, and my guess is that you are comparing it to CS4 times WITHOUT MRQ.
Have a look at the PPBM5 Benchmark and notice where the Q9450 systems are. They are all pretty close to the bottom of the list.
Seeing those results, one can argue your statement.
so it's not a particularly slow machine.
Of course much depends on your particular time-line, but if I take my benchmark results (with a lowly i7-920) versus another Q9450 system, I guess that my export times with your time-line would be around 1:06.
Maybe not the reaction you were looking for, but I can't change statistical results.
@ Colin: The OP never said he has MRQ enabled. Where do you get that from? He said he had hardware MPE enabled. And with his timeline, setting MRQ on would not influence his export times, since there is nothing in his single track time-line to profit from MRQ and it is all handled by the MPE engine. At least in this case.

Quality issues w export to MPEG2-DVD

I'm using CS4, creating moving still images, some directly in the timeline and some from After Effects. The pictures (imported at resolutions above the timeline SD widescreen rate and then scaled down) in the timeline in the Program box and on my separate monitor (through Matrox breakout box) look clear and sharp. However the DVD created comes out noticably softer (like it's slightly out of focus).
To create the DVD file I use File/Export/Media; then in Media Encoder I set :
     Format: MPEG2-DVD
     Video: Quality @ 5
     Widescreen (which is how the program is set)
     Bitrate Encoding: CBR
     Bitrate: 7
     from the drop-down menu I checked Use Maximum Render Quality
To compare the original timeline to the DVD file, I imported the resulting MPEG2 file and added it to a video track above the original picture video track, so I could toggle between the two to compare them.
Am I missing something here? I would really like to get a DVD to look as good as the Premiere timeline.

A lot depends on the source material here - how much motion content, etc. There are a lot of articles and tutorials on encoding as it is still somewhat of an art form.
Some thoughts or ideas for you to consider:
Consider using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which will use your data rate more effectively in some cases
use two pass CBR (or 2-pass VBR). This will give it extra quality by looking at it twice. It will take longer to encode.
Look at the output preview tab when in the export media to view what a frame would look like (sometimes it helps)
Render short segments of test media to help you find the best settings for your source material.
You might consider a 3rd party encoding program if you really need that extra 10% - Sorenson Squeeze and On2's Flix are both good products. Other guys here will chime in with some inexpensive alternatives - maybe VisualHub.
MPEG2 breaks down most when you have high motion content. things like a wide shot of a tree with the wind blowing through it drives MPEG2 crazy.
Hope this helps,
Dennis

**Missing Audio when Exporting to HD**

Hi,
I have been trying to find a solution to missing audio for sometime and there are many discussions on this forum regarding this topic. I have an external drive and in the past I have lost audio, I guess because the event and the project were on different drives, I have resolved that. Also, the problem that I have is not related to the speed of a clip or that I have more than 10GB in my events (I don't). There have been other audio issues and I have always been able to resolve them but this one has me stumped! I thought that perhaps the graphics card was not up to the task but this has just happened and now I am confused.
I have just completed a project that was only 3 minutes long 403.5 MB. The movie was imported to iMovie from my video camera and listed as an Event, I also used movie clips and stills from iPhoto, I added titles and transitions. I then exported the movie to Media Browser (mobile size) so that I could import it into Garage Band to make an soundtrack. I then exported the soundtrack as an AAC to iTunes (as I have read that there are issues with MP3 and audio missing). I then opened iMovie and dragged the soundtrack into my project and republished the completed project to Media Browser in the HD size. No problem all works well, I was really happy! Onwards I thought and get another 2010 video finished, wrong!
On my next project I have done everything that I have described above, this time the project is only 349.8 MB (smaller). The audio on the HD size has failed. I have copied all the files onto my desktop and reimported everything. I have tried exporting using Quicktime or as a Movie but still no audio. I have found that the 'consolidate media' is grayed out when I have all my clips in the project editor, because they are all on my hard drive. As soon as I add the iTunes track that I have exported from Garageband the consolidate media option becomes available. If I select this I then get the message that the iTunes track cannot be copied as it is not on my hard drive! It is on my hard drive (I disconnected all external drives so that there would be no confusion!).
I cannot understand how the first project worked and the second smaller project failed using the same process! I thought that I would share this information with the forum in the hope that perhaps a solution can be found. I am able to publish the second project to my mobile me in the large and mobile sizes, it would be good to have the HD size for a DVD. There seems to be no logical pattern to the audio disappearing on export. Your thoughts or help would be very welcome.
Kind regards,
Watchthebat.

In Soundtrack if you have selected to use only channel 2 of a stereo file (right click on stereo file and select mono->channel2) you will hear channel 1 when you export. Its a massive bug.
Could that be the source of your problems? The bug can certainly create exported mixes that sound like stuff is missing.
There's a recent thread around here about this.

Trial version of Pre 5.5 doesnt have Mpeg2-dvd... why?

Hello, I've been using various editing software for a while making silly home movies and the like but I was looking to get some real clout behind me and push for a job in editing or maybe start up editing old home movies. I've used adobe premiere in college and was looking to buy it so I downloaded a trial version to see whats what. I've read a few tutorials and wanted to publish a DVD to see what the quality compares to but after capturing my footage I found that I was missing a few codecs one of them being the MPEG2-DVD. The funny thing is that the trial version specifically states that it comes with this codec. I'm running windows 7 home prem, with an asus M4a88T-usb3 motherboard and a 6x speed AMD 2.4 processor. I'm ok with computers but I'm wondering if there's a problem with Windows 7 and this codec.
Is there any way of updating this before the trial runs out?
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have this and Mpeg2-DVD option is available in CS5.5 trial, the only possible difference that can be is I have CS5 Serialised version installed my my machine..
Do you have CS5 Installed and licenced on your machine on which you have installed CS5.5 Trial ?
I will try to check this now if this can be the reason why you are not getting this option..
