I was able load pics and music for a slide show but dvd doesn't play music...it will play good in the program
Please elaborate. Presumably you have burnt a DVD disc. How did you go about that. Does the disc play the music when played on your pc?
When I finished putting photos and music in the slide show it play perfectly on the computer...but after burning the project to DVD using the program instructions only the pictures played on dvd no music.....
How are you playing the DVD disc? On your pc or on a DVD player?
both ....no difference
Are you authoring from Vegas or DVDA?
Movie Studio 13 or Movie Studio 13 Platinum, Simple or Advanced Edit Mode? Did you use Make Movie > Burn it to a DVD > DVD? Or Make Movie > Save it to a hard drive > MPEG-2 format? (If this, read Eric's solution in the thread he linked above.) If not any of those, what did you use?
movie studio 13 simple edit mode .....yes after I installed pictures and music I entered make movie I saved it to HD and burn it to dvd and the file reads mpg.sfl
As Eric suspected, the simple solution is from him in the thread he linked early in this thread. The screenshots there should help.
After rendering look for a file with an .mpg extension, not an .mpg.sfl. Platinum has the Advanced Edit mode in your software and that has customizable render templates. Not clear if you have that one or the basic version of MS 13, which doesn't allow customizing those templates AFAIK.
I finally got the music to play with the video...but...after rendering I was able to burn to DVD but it was a data disc and won't play on most players....also the file will play perfectly using Power DVD on the computer what now ??
Older DVD players won't play data discs, only discs prepared to standard DVD Video configuration.
On your computer Power DVD is probably playing it as a file.
Unfortunately I no longer have MS13 installed so cannot check on what you are doing. But if you have the video on your HD as a mpg file use DVDA to make a DVD video disc.
where can I find DVDA
If you bought the MS 13 Platinum version, it came with DVD Architect Studio 5. It seems though that you have just the basic version, which did not include this authoring and burning program. Unlike Platinum, it also does not include the option to burn dvds from the timeline.
Vegas DVD Architect (7) as a separate purchase costs more than upgrading to VMS 15 Platinum, which includes DVD A (7). I'd suggest you consider this option, if you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or later. Specifications (system requirements) on the relevant product pages.
