  1. I saved a disc image (ISO) of a DVD home movie I made a few years ago using POWER2GO13.I then extracted the files and imported them to POWER DIRECTOR365,set the clips on the timeline and produced it.I get no audio when I play it on PD365,so I started a new project with the same clips and uploaded it to you tube.Still getting no audioI know the audio is there because the files play fine on power2go.,powerdvd17and other software on my computer.I do hear audio from the menu,but when my video footage starts playing the audio stops.I have many home videos on DVDs I recorded over the years and I would like to get them onto you tube and bluray somehow.

Use MediaInfo https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline on one of the VTS_01_1.VOB files on one of your DVD's located in the VIDEO_TS folder. Attach the text file to the forum post. Maybe you used DTS audio on the DVD which is no longer supported in PD20. If that's the case, you'd have to convert the files to something PD20 can handle.

Since Power2Go has not been updated in since like 2020, DTS would still be functional. If you have a previous version of PD, like 19, 18, or the like, it would work there too.

Rather than guessing, easier to see the file and then determine how one might proceed.

All 3 have AC-3 audio. VINCENT SAVARINO

As mentioned prior, you can attach the whole text file as a document (the Attachments button below msg window). That's Dolby Digital, are you by chance on a WIN 7 system with PD20?

Where these discs created with a prior version of PD, which version?

No Im on Windows 10.The video footage was recorded on a mini DV VHS TAPE, the editing I think I did with VLC
but I am not 100% sure it was a long time ago. The computer I had at the time had an internal disc writer?reader.

MediaInfo detail a little strange for a DVD, bitrate is really high at 14.2 Mb/s.

What I'd try:
1) Enter Capture room of PD20 Alt F9. With DVD in tray check "Video" to capture entire DVD contents to a MPEG file. Use the red "Record" button to capture. If you have more than 1 title on the DVD, each title will be saved as a mpg file. See if this file has audio in PD20.
or
2) Drop entire VIDEO_TS file into HandBrake and convert each title on DVD if you have more than 1 to basic MP4 files. See if this file has audio in PD20.

It is possible that the OP posted the mediainfo for the chapters menu and not the one for the actual videos on the dvd.

See the screenshot. This DVD will play properly on my Sony but chokes on the menu on a cheaper brand standalone player. The OP’s VTS_01_0.VOB is the 15 sec. Chapters menu on my dvd. The bitrate is higher than that in the normal VTS_01_1.VOB which is the video that plays on the dvd. The bitrate on those menus are always higher on my PD created DVDs unless hardware encoding is used in the past.

menu bitrate versus video bitrate - not the same.

I doubt it was authored with PD as PD has only used variable bit rate mode (chapters or content) for DVD and OP attached MediaInfo has Constant bit rate.
