marsrunner Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi all. I just downloaded a bunch of HD trailers from Apple, including the new Silent Hill one. I wanted to burn them to DVD to view on my widescreen TV. I have Nero 7 Ultra and was able to burn them, but had a small problem. None of the trailers had sound! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or can provide a solution? I even tried converting the trailers with Nero Vision to MPG format, but still no sound. There's sound when I watch the MOV files in QuickTime, but no sound when I preview the MOV files in Nero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Check out http://www.videohelp.com for conversion info. The best site out there for this kind of thing. Be prepared to experiment with a LOT of different programs though-converting video is a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yeah video conversion is a pain in the butt expecially with so many codecs, and different specs for different devices. However i never had a problem with burning trailers from apple.com . I bought Toast 7 and i havent had problems converting any type of file. Too bad its only for Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Which trailers were they? I've burned a bunch of things using Nero 7, and the only one I had sound problems with was Superman Returns (which had glitchy noise, rather than silence); some of the working ones were Pirates of the Carribean 2, Ultraviolet and that new Harrison Ford thing with Paul Bettany whose name I forget. I suspect it's down to audio codec choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsrunner Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I tried burning eight trailers from the quicktime site. They were all HD 720p format except for Pirates (which isn't available as such). Actually I looked at it again and the only one with sound was Pirates, the only non-HD one. The list was Cars Click Firewall Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest Silent Hill Superman Returns The Da Vinci Code X3 Pirates was fine, the rest had no sound at all.

iainl Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ah. I don't think I've burned any of ther others except Firewall (the Harrison Ford film I couldn't remember the name of). But I used the 480p version - try some of those; they're closer to DVD resolution anyway, so you're wasting less bandwidth downloading them.
