DVD-R help - Audio missing in certain players?

[Goldom]

Hi there. I just sucessfully finished burning my first test DVD (video). I ordered a tv player that can read DVD-/+R, but it hasn't arrived yet, so all I know is from testing it in my computer's DVD drive...

I put in the just-written disc, and the video played fine... but there was no sound. This was in InterActual Player, my default DVD viewer. So I opened up the disc, and tried running the files in video_ts, and they did have sound. So on a whim, I tried playing it with the crappy dvd-watcher that came on the computer, and it -did- have sound there.

Really, the only important question is if it will work in the player, but i can't test that yet. Does anyone know if Interactual has reported problems with sound on DVD+R? (This one in particular was +, not -). I got worried when I realized there was nothing in audio_ts, but then I read online that that's normal. Why would sound not work in one player, and work in another, -on the same drive-?

thanks.

1. same thing happens with cd's R from player to player

I think it has something to do with the disc quality itself of the copied disc

(not all players are created equal)

Sometimes it's just a matter of finding a different brand media

3. well, in all bizarreness...

I just tried another thing that shouldn't have worked, putting it in my PS2, which can't even play DVD+R, cept, it did. Perfectly. :shrug: Looks like it must just be interactual.
