mpeg.no sound

[MikeD]

Okay..buddy and I made up a video of my wifes sisters wedding. Using a peer to mail program we were able to fire everything back and forth to each other.. Finally finished the movie......looks great on the computer, prob, not everyone has a computer. So I took the mpeg file and put it thru Nero 6. Sounded and looked good on the computer.put it on the home theater system.....awesome picture......dead silence.no sound.
Are we missing something? We are both rookies at this so it could be anything...

All help appreciated, especially from the non computer using family members.

open nero 6 select

Super Video CD (SVCD)

depending on your location you may need to change between

NTSC (North America)

PAL (Europe)

Drag media onto Videos/ Pictures let Nero convert then burn

okay..will give that a try..was hoping to put them on dvd, but anything is better that nothing.
Thanks MikeD

okay..svcd is to small..the vid is almost 1.5 hrs long, to be exact..1688.8 megs. Thats why we were looking to put it on a dvd. So how do we cut this thing to put it on 2 discs, unless there is a way to get this sucker onto a dvd, with audio. Time to go a searching...must have missed something.....now where are those tutorials??

Every try making an actual DVD it takes around 30 min of your time 1-2 hours of computers time and burning time.

Assuming you bought the nero suite it comes with a program called NeroVision Express.

OR...
