DVD architect Audio Problem

I rendered 3 DVDs recently with DVD architect 4.0....each has about 5 or 6 audio tracks.

The first two required no recompression of the video because they fit on the 4.7 Gb disk as rendered in Movie Studio. however, I notice that when I fast forwarded through the disk, then hit play to play at normal speed, no sound can be heard (usually, and more so toward the beginning of the video)...if I nudge it fast forward for just a brief moment and press play again, the sound usually comes back (the sound will also come back if I access the audio tracks through the DVDs audio selection function while the video is playing, but only if I select another track and then come back to the track I want to hear). The sound is always there if I just play the video from start without fast forwarding.

On the third disk, DVD architect had to recompress the video to fit on the disk. This disk plays back normally with or without fast forwarding....

Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? I guess a workaround would be to force a recompression of all video, but that means DVD rendering time goes from about 30 minutes to 3 1/2 hours....

The first thing I'd recommend doing is trying the disc out on at least one more DVD player -- just to see if that loss-of-audio thing is unique to your player.

That would help isolate whether it's something that's truly going on on the disc or if it's just quirk in your DVD player.

i do suspect (hope) it's a quirk with the DVD player but I don't have any other standalones that play DVD-Rs.

Do you have a friend or relative who will let you test it?

Meantime, how about when you play the disc on your computer, using your computer's DVD player software? Do you get the same results?

Go to Wal Mart and buy a cheap player.
