Intermittent sound after burning DVD

I'm making some little tests with DVDA-2 in my brother's machine. Using the Single Movie "preset"
I used an Old Xvid that he had in the machine, so I re-encoded it with the AVI2DVD app., the result was a 1 minute Clip with these characteristics:
MPEG2 compliant 720x480 - 5.115 Mbps - 29.97 FPS without sound, (42 Mb)
and a demuxed audio Stream in WAVE format PCM 48.000 Hz - 16 bit stereo of a 1 minute length also. (12 Mb)
When I optimize de DVD I choosed to recompress audio to AC3-stereo
and the optimizer said nothing about de video stream !, to re-encode it.
I made de DVD, structure and files with DVDA-2 and afterwards Burn it with Nero 6. In a RW-CD, using the standard of a DVD , because of it's 43.5 Mb it used for all the proyect compilation.
When I played with a DVD player the sound was intermittent, like with little cuts...
I thought it was that I used a RW-CD, and burned it again in a DVD-R and the problem was still in de DVD.
Can anybody please tell me where is the problem...
Thanks
Regards

Have you played this WAV file outside of DVDA? Does the WAV file sound okay?

If so, I'd recommend dragging it onto a fresh Vegas timeline and rendering it to AC3 from there, see if that helps.

If not, then there's something wrong with the original Xvid file or how AVI2DVD is demuxing it.

Hi bStro:
Not only the Wav file play ok. outside DVDA-2, also if I play The VOB created with DVDA-2 in the computer with the Asus-DVD aplication that came with the DVD burner I see and listen perfectly the movie and the sound !!!
I've made some backups DVD to DVD (with DVDDecrypter and afterwards, burning the same VIDEO_TS folder in a new compilation of a new DVD and the sound works fine, (so the burner and the Nero are working fine !)
Can the problem be with the bitrate of viedo and sound ?
Thanks
Regards

Caution... some people(me for one) have UNRELIABLE burning with DVD-A2. I use DVD+RW, so bad burns are only an inconvenience(I just reburn them), but still, I've gotten away from using DVD-A2 for burning. When a burn is bad, I get black screens, stuttery sound, and jerky video playback in the PC(I haven't even tried one of these disks on a set top player). I author the VIDEO_TS files in DVD-A2 like normal with the prepare command, and then I use Roxio(included with the burner) to actually produce the DVDs. So far, now burns are reliable. DVD-A2 preparations seems 100% relilable, but it's burning is not for some of us.

Jayson, that was the problem. I burned it with my Nero and all get fine.
No more intermittent sound !!!
Thanks a Lot.
