i have just purchased ulead vs8 and before i take it back to pcworld i would like to know if it is my pc or the software . i have a panasonic dvd e55 recorder i have recorded on to a dvd -ram . all my other editing software will not import a vro file but uvs8 will import it . i have impoted the file and edited with no problem it is showing that the file i have impoted is mpeg2 and ac3 sound but when i preview or play i cannot hear sound i also burnt the recording and it played fine but still no sound . i have just imported a some video footage from camcorder and played via other editing software and i get sound i payed £50.00 for this software and it says it can import vro files wich it will but why no audio , hope someone can help me thanks .

AC3 audio is Dolby Digital. I'm not sure about VS8, but most editing software (especially budget software) can't work with DD sound as you need to pay Dolby for a license which would push up the cost of the software. I would think that this is the most likely cause of the lack of audio and is therefore not a fault with either your PC or the software.
Some software can have a plug-in added to add the ability of AC3/DD audio, but yet again I'm not sure if this is available for Ulead VS8.

thanks for reply , you are correct in saying i need a plug in . it does not tell you this on the vs8 box but will buy plug in as i like us8 .

Yes you just pay - download and install - you don't have to actually do anything in UVS8 - just play the video again and you should now have sound.


You will need the plug-in for the full version as well so the best option is to save the downloaded file and then you can find and run it again when you get the full version.

If you want to put AC-3 Dolby Digital onto your burned DVD make sure you select that option in the burning module (only available after you install the plug-in) when creating your DVD.
