dvd problem

[gambit]

I just got a gaming magazine called rage. I got a free dvd with movies on it.
When I try to play the movies on my dvd drive I can only watch the video but get no audio. Any solutions guys?

i suppose the movies are in .mov extension.., in that case u need apple quicktime.

download here:
*www.apple.com/quicktime/download

There are 2 folders on the dvd. One called audio_ts & the other video_ts.
Now the folder video_ts has a lot of files with the extns *.bup, *.ifo, *.vob
but the audio_ts folder is empty.

well usually that audio folder is empty
well all i can say is try changing the language
settings for that particular movie in your dvd player(software)
or even try the audio settings

Ok..so its a standard DVD v r talkin about:

I guess this should work........

Normally DVDs have 2 or 3 audio streams encoded in AC3(Dolby Digital) or DTS.

You will not be able to play the DTS on a PC. So in the audio selection in WMP or PowerDVD, select AC3(Dolby Digital)....NOT DTS

As far as AC3, it can be 2 channel/5 channel.

If PowerDVD is configured for the wrong speaker setup, it does not play the audio, if u have a 2 speaker system, enable stereo in PowerDVD Audio settings.(It works for all kinds of Speker configs.)

Actually, to answer ur question in more detail, i'll need to know about ur speaker config., the sound card u r using, DVD software, AC3 filter u r using, etc.

If the above solution, does not work, gimme the above details........
