I don't think Avidemux adds the file extensions automatically, so you have to type them in when naming the file. I'm not sure if .avi works on a DVD - I think you have to use .mpg files. > When I played the dvd there was no sound.

Next, can you install mplayer with Synaptic, if it's not already installed? Also install smplayer if Synaptic doesn't select it for you. Navigate to your newly-edited mpg file, right-click, and select Open with Mplayer. Or start Mplayer, right-click on the odd-shaped navigation-button widget, select Open -> Play File, and navigate to your mpg file. Do you get sound? If not, try right-clicking on the Mplayer navigation-button widget again, and select Preferences -> Audio. Try setting that to OSS (I believe that's what you used with Avidemux). Click OK, exit Mplayer, and restart it. Load the video again - do you get sound? If not, I think we will have to consider getting rid of PulseAudio, and trying to use ALSA directly all the way through. If you do, though, close Mplayer, and start ManDVD. When you load your video in (Add a video to your project) and get the form with the video title, image button and AVsynch options, click the Preview button at the bottom. Here, this starts Mplayer as the preview player (and there seems to be no way to change that default). Do you still get sound? Go ahead and make the DVD as before. When you mount the iso, do you get sound now? > To unmount the dvd iso, type into the terminal: > sudo umount testvid > > This doesn't work in Ubuntu 9.10.

You do not need to use the command-line for this. Note, as I said before, that renaming the file may work, but it may not - vro seems to be a slightly different format, and you may need to convert it.

Is the checkbox against PulseAudio in Synaptic still green? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.cymraeg.org.uk - Welsh-English autotranslator www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
