Numerous Audio Dropouts

[gizzin]

Every dvd i encoded with turned out well, except for all the audio blips and dropouts for a split second. This happened in Way Of The Gun, Saving Private, Die Hard 3, and LOTR 3 Return of The King. They all had these audio problems and it happened a couple times throughout the all these films. Great work btw and i hope this problem can be fixed. Donation on its way.

What is the type of your standalone?

What burn speed do you use? I have a Pioneer A05, and I burnt my conversion of "the Pianist" to a 4 x Apple DVD-R disk at 4 x the other night, and it was coming up with audio drop outs all through it, and it even had video coruptions at a few points. Anyway, I burnt the exact same movie files to another Apple 4 x DVD-R, but this time at 1 x and it is perfect. I've watched the entire thing from start to finish and not one glitch.

Could be your media/burner or burn speed as brashquido suggests.

What version of DVD-RB are you using? Have you checked for bitrate peaks?

The rare times a dvd shows an error on screen, the audio doesnt drop out for me. Usually stream errors are displayed as large blocks on the video, sometimes accompanied by bloops and squeeks of the audio. AC3 is less prone to squeeking, while the MP2 used in some discs and DVB transmissions lets hellish high-pitch squeeks when errorous, similar ot MP3.

(which makes me wonder why they didnt engineer an error-sound-block into the DVB standard. though I hear some manufacturers have this feature)

I have a pioneer DV-343 for a DVD player and my burner is a 106D. Sorry i forgot to mention that.

I've got the same setup - DV343 and 106 burner. I can burn stuff at 4x on some media, and it works fine, but other media isn't received so well.

I suggest you try burning at a lower speed. Also, you could check the result in PowerDVD first, before burning to DVDR. If the files on the hd also glitches, then it certainly is an error in the encoding.

well rules of engagement, has one audio dropout at "7:35", i burned it at 1x still the same result, but i tried it on my ps2 this time
no dropout.

so is this possibly the program used to burn it or the standalone?
