Audio Issue - Sound only on one speaker

Hi,

I just purchased a new digital camcorder and recorded a lecture with it last
night. When I copied the tape to WMM and played it back, I only hear sound
from the right speaker. The internal mike on the camcorder was on and in
Stereo mode which should capture two channels.

Any advice on how I can troubleshoot would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Thanks,

If I only have one channel, can either of these programs copy the channel to
the other ?
 
My track is mono, is there a way inside of WMM that I can make it come out
of the 2 speakers ? I've looked around the program and can't find it.

Thanks
 
PapaJohn,

Made a lot of progress today by reading your site. Now I have a problem
which I need advice on. I taped a 34 min interview on a MiniDV tape a brought
it into WMM, edited it, put an opening screen and saved as an AVI file. The
file was over 7GiG. When I used my other camera which was an analog, 38 min
of an interview was just 2.4 GIG in MPEG.

I used a program called AVI2DVD and it said I needed a 9GIG DVD. ANy
suggetions about the way I capture from my camera to MM or something I can do
to fit it on a 4.7G DVD ?

Thanks in advance BT
 
The reason it is larger is that the MPEG file was compressed and the DV-AVI
file is basically raw uncompressed video. AVI2DVD is about as basic as you
can get with creating DVD's you would be far better off with a DVD Authoring
program. There is a list of the most popular ones on my website in the "DVD
Creation" section and many of them, with the exception of Nero, offer a
working trial to download.

If you have the free version of Nero that comes with some computers and some
DVD burners then it likely doesn't include Nero Vision Express which is the
subprogram Nero uses to create DVD's. If it is the full version of Nero then
yes it will do the trick.
To find out simply open Nero StartSmart, make sure the dropdown box at the
top is set to DVD not CD, go to the "Photo and Video" icon and click "Make
Your Own DVD Video" if you have Nero Vision Express then it will open. If
not you will be given the option of upgrading to the full version which I
recommend doing.

Thanks very much for you rreply. One question remains, what format do I need
to have the file in, in order to use the Nero or others to author the DVD ?
 
Nero and most other authoring programs will work with either DV-AVI or the
WMV files but for the best result you should use DV-AVI

Thanks,

Sorry for the newbie questions.

Thanks I appreciate it. But now I have a new problem. My wmv file is 520MB
but when I convert to DV-AVI in MM it grows to 7Gig.

Am I stuck ? Iw ant to fit on a regular 4.7GB DVD
 
OK Wojo, I see how it compresses the file in Nero so I am OK. Just get a
Transcoding of video failed, so I need to research and hopefully I will be on
my way
 
Right the size of the file doesn't matter. But if it is more than an hour
long you will need to either shorten it or lower the quality settings to get
it to fit on a standard DVD.
You are getting a transcoding error when? When you import into Nero or when
you are trying to burn the DVD?
