Not so new to Editing, New to Editing Issues

[rspassey]

Hello everyone,

I haven't been as active as normal for the past few days due to the fact that my teachers have piled three major projects on us this weekend. For one of them, I (the geek in the group) was assigned the role of preparing the DVD video of multiple sources which showed poverty and urbanization in our world.

First off, I get ahold of a video about the Favelas in Brazila, which covered much of what I had to include in this DVD. Thinking that was all I would need, after I edited out of the stuff that didn't need to be included, I was mistaken. The next day, my teacher tells me to include part of the extended scene in some DVD (which she owned and got from the US). So, I fired up my lyra 2780 and began copying it. When that was done, I copied it over to my PC, and inserted it into the current project and edited it to my liking.

Now, here comes the problem.
While watching the moving on playback on my PC (within the editor) I hear the sound just fine on both clips from the Favelas and the clips I got from the DVD my teacher gave me.

But, when I play it back on a DVD player.... there is no sound on the part which I copied from the DVD.

Odd, eh?

Now, I am going to fiddle around with this a little more, perhaps there is a simple fix, but I really need to get this resolved. As I am supposed to take it with me to school today at 2PM - in 3hours or so.

PS: I am using PowerDirector which came with my video card(s)... it isn't the greatest, but I haved used it a long time and know how to handle it.

Thanks,
Ryan

Oh, and if worse comes to worse, I can use so "Capture what you hear" software and capture the auido that way, and add it in similar to a voice over... but that would mean a drop in quality and smoothness of video.

EEK... Sorry guys, false alarm. This just ended up being a major mistake which happened while working too fast and not taking my time.

I hadn't correctly connected the DVD player to TV audio cables!!!

I can't believe I spent 30 minutes and 4 blank DVDs trying to fix this, when the problem was with me (and my stupidity) and not with the DVD or how I edited it at all.

Mods, feel free to close this thread...

Ouch....! I hate when that happens. Don't feel bad, ryan124712, as everybody overlooks simple things at times; I know I sure have! But the important part is that you found it and fixed it!
