Ok basically iv got this camcorder - http://www.jvc.com/presentations/everio_g/spec.html

when i import the files it was .mod format. So i used mpeg streamclip to change the format to .mov so i can use it with imovie HD.

When i start imovie i selected DV format, I'm not sure if this is correct...what should it be? I chose DV because it said underneath that it is compatible with most camcorders.

Do i pick DV format or do i pick another format.

Know i made a movie using imovie and then exported it to a quicktime file so that i can change the format from NTSC to pal as i live in the UK.

I then made those quicktime files into an idvd project and burned it onto disc.

Know what the problem is that when i play the DVD onto a standalone dvd player, there is no sound, not even in the menus. However when i play it back onto my mac or PC there is sound...

does anyone know why and how to fix this so that there is sound....

thanks for any help

Well, I figured out what the problem was. The scart lead in the back of my standalone DVD player was a bit loose. So it was nothing to do with the DVD movie itself...
