I am experiencing the same problem when I burn a slideshow to DVD using Nero Vision Express. Program sounds fine when previewed and played as an executable file on my computer, but when I play the DVD on my TV, the music crackles and pops a bit. I've tried using different bitrate MP3 files (128, 196, etc.), but to no avail. Any suggestions would be welcome, also, let me know if this would be more appropriate to post in the video section of the forum. Thanks, Rick
