I made up a compilation disc of bands i'd filmed over the last few years, burnt up a hundred copies and sold them all (bar about 5) on the weekend. Great i think, i tested the master on my dvd player and my friends dvd player on both widescreen and fullscreen tvs.. surely there won't be a problem!
But of course there be... the menu screen is PCM audio and works fine for everyone.. the main presentation i converted from the wave output i got from my render process (DVD MPEG2 profile) into AC3 using BeSweet GUI as 1gb for the audio is just too big for my disc. This is where the problems are causing for people.. i thought ac3 2ch was standard on all the "hollywood" discs, so i don't see whats causing the problem. My dvd setup is multichannel, but i put everything back to default, and it still plays fine.. but on my friends sony, as soon as the DD light comes up, the audio stops. he didn't have his remote with him, so i couldn't look thru setup screens, but it really should work by default.
People say they have the problem on the pc too, with things like powerdvd etc.. i tried it in VLC and it worked fine, but VLC is extra special when it comes to compatability etc.....
Any advice? I'm pretty sure i'm gonna have to recall em, and hopefully i can build a new master.. but i don't want there to be a problem the 2nd time around.
