iDVD 6: No audio on finished DVD

When previewing your project in iDVD, sound is audible. However, after burning the disc, there is no audio on the DVD when played back in the DVD Player application or on a set-top DVD player.

Solution

  1. Update to iDVD 6.0.1.
  2. Delete encoded assets from the project.
  3. Burn another disc or Save as Disc Image, mount the image and test in DVD Player and then burn your DVD with Disk Utility.

This issue can also occur if third-party (non-Apple) QuickTime plug-ins are installed. If the issue still occurs after trying the steps above, check for third-party plug-ins in ~/Library/QuickTime/ and /Library/QuickTime. Move these to the desktop, and then log out and log back in to the computer.

If the issue continues after updating and removing any added plug-ins, create a new project in iDVD 6.0.1.

Note: Importing multiplexed (muxed) MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 footage in your iDVD project can also introduce this symptom. See the following articles for more information:
