No Sound - Please Help

[Bathrone]

Hi everyone, would very much appreciate help on my problem.

Im trying to convert a 4:3 DVD into a DiVX format. The video conversion works no problem. However, the audio in the VOB file extract is not converted when I use XMpeg to do the conversion.

When I open the IFO file using the XMPEG XIS DVD MISM method, the sound is displayed as "NOT SPECIFIED - LPCM audio". When I try to select audio in the project options its all greyed out and I cant select anything and it stays on "Dont Process Audio".

If I open up the VOB file I extracted to my HDD, and using PowerDVD XP there is sound, and it all works fine so the VOB files I ripped onto my HDD are ok.

Im totally confused and would genuinely appreciate help.

Thanks.

your audio stream seems to be PCM/WAV not an ac3.

many tools like flask (and xmpeg is nothing but a derivate) simply cannot handle this (that's why gordianknot is a better choice imho, as you learn to hanlde video and audio separately and thus most efficiently).

extract the pcm/wav usind DVD2AVI
then convert this wav to mp3 using e.g. besweet

Thanks, understand what your saying.

How do I extract the audio in DVD2AVI? I downloaded the app but dont see how.

Sorry, Im new

I saved it as a project file and it spat out a wav

Thanks
