Audio skipping in slideshow

Hi Guys,
Major panic on here.
Pal DVD
I have just created a wedding slideshow dvd with four slideshows within.
To each slideshow I have added music which is fitted to the slideshow duration.
All slideshows have a transition (the same for each show)Gradient wipe 03:00.

Everything is great except that the audio keeps skipping or missing regularly. I
have used wav format and have transcode settings;
Copy of pal dv High Quality 8mb CBR 1 pass
Aud format PCM, Stereo, 16 bit, 48 khz.

As I am fairly new to encore I do not know whether these are the right settings
for a PAL DVD and would welcome some helpful advice to solve this problem.

Using Encore DVD 2

Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply.

David,

I second Ruud's suggestion.
Slideshows are extremely problematic, because of the insane way the specs make
certain parts mandatory, and others optional (Read "not included on cheap
players").
So you can get definite problems.

I recommend - unless space is at a premium - creating a sequence in PPro, and
encode it to a very low bitrate movie, at around 2.5Mb/sec.

Hi all,

I find the two replies amazing., especially as Adobe promote Encore as the main
DVD creator with a slideshow function.

For those that are interested, I remade the slideshow in Encore 2 omitting the
transitions and also the fit slideshow to audio feature.

Burnt a fresh copy and ran it on the TV. The skipping was still there but it was
now obvious where the problem lies.

The music skip occurs immediately prior to a picture change, just where a
transition would commence (if you had one set).

So lets hope the smart boys at Adobe have enough now to isolate this problem
once and for all, considering that it comes in a package costing $800.

It's really only a problem with certain DVD players not supporting timed MPEG
stills. Most other players don't have this problem.

The only thing the smart boys at Adobe could do to address this is create a
movie from the slideshow instead of timed MPEG stills. That would assure more
consistent playback from these cheaper players, but at the cost of taking up far
more disc space for a slideshow than Encore does currently.
