Thread: I need a bit of help with audio on D/L

  1. #1

    Urgent

    Lately on any D/L I've done, The Stand & Fatman I get no audio on any. I have never had this issue before, I have been struggling for some time now it seems something has changed likely on my part. Win 10, winrar 5.5, XtoDVD 5.0

    Thank you in advance...

    MediaInfo will tell you whether the files have an audio stream at all and which codec it uses. In all likelihood they either use a codec your setup doesn't support or your media player's audio is being routed somewhere else (e.g. to an unplugged HDMI port) for whatever reason.

    Also, I presume the downloads are complete (no missing articles or repaired if necessary).

    Thank you for the help, I did find the problem after staring at my PC for way too many hours. The compression setting in ConvertXtoDVD was set at 0.. I'll give it another try when I find something I want to watch. I have been using VLC for many years and as it was said it works, and it works very well.

    I hope 2021 is a Happy New Year for all.

    Just curious, why are you using ConvertXtoDVD? Unless you have old hardware, having to transcode is the exception rather than the norm nowadays.

    VLC is good, and its Android version is the best on that platform; mpv is too barebones and MX Player eats wakelocks like popcorn (yet I still use it ).

    What 'Android" version ??

    And does it work on a Windows platform??

    I know that VLC player/program works on pretty much every platform out there, and i basically set it as default, and that is why i suggested it to TheBoz, maybe i should have added not to remove any of his/hers other programs, but try it out

    And He/She also updated to win10?? Your comment on "Old Hardware"??

    I'm using ConvertXtoDVD to convert .mkv then to burn a DVD. VLC has been my default player forever, as it was said it plays everything. I'm still wondering why it conflicted with playing the video after just running WinRAR on the download video... I can't blame anyone else since I'm the only one on this PC..

    Ok in bold, may i ask why you are doing this?? Again i can see there could be some conflicts with audio encode?? Depending on what the format was on the encode MKV file??

    Again why are you burning disks?? And are we talking Blu ray blanks or just standard DVD disks??

    If you are just viewing on your PC?? or have you ever thought of internal streaming in your dwelling??

    To me WinRar is just an extraction tool?? What does it have to do with burning DVD's ??

    And not to get to technical, but you do understand that MKV is a type of file compression ??

    What players are you trying to play that burnt Disk in?? What file formats does the player you are using play??

    And maybe another question Usenet?? Torrents?? Usenet, are you using SABnzbd??

    We can start there. Or am i missing something in your post???

    Again why are you burning disks?? And are we talking Blu ray blanks or just standard DVD disks?? Standard DVD to be played on my DVD player, I personally can't imagine watching a movie on my PC...

    If you are just viewing on your PC?? or have you ever thought of internal streaming in your dwelling?? I wouldn't know where to start, the only time I stream is with my Firestick...

    To me WinRar is just an extraction tool?? What does it have to do with burning DVD's ?? That was something I didn't understand...

    And not to get to technical, but you do understand that MKV is a type of file compression ?? Yes I do, as i had said I never did look at the audio compression which was 0...

    What players are you trying to play that burnt Disk in?? What file formats does the player you are using play?? RCA DVD player NTSC..

    And maybe another question Usenet?? Torrents?? Usenet, are you using SABnzbd?? Usenet, SAB and Newshosting app..

    https://sabnzbd.org/ Thanks, you had mentioned this in one of your posts some time ago...

    We can start there. Or am i missing something in your post???
    No I believe you got it. Thanks for your input..

    I was thinking of TVs that don't support DTS audio, set-top boxes that may not have all codecs, or maybe a very old DVD player as it indeed was... anyway, transcoding and burning to DVD is passé these days, but in principle it should still work.
