TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 HELP!!

[Worf19]

Hi,
I just spent the better part of the past 2 days filtering out considerable noise from a dv capture of old vhs tapes of mine using TMPGEnc. It took about 25 hours to encode and afterwards I went to play it, but there was no audio. For some pointless reason, using the DVD Template it sets up for you, it split the auido into a seperate wav file. Why anyone would want this when encoding to dvd is beyond me. This is really dumb and pointless. Any idea how I can recombine the audio and video, without spending hours reencoding video? I tried the MPEG multiplexing tool, yet of course it says Illegal Mpeg audio stream. I don't know what to do and I really don't want to spend another 25 hours redoing this. It doesn't even let me choose whether or not I want the audio connected to the video. Any ideas of how I can easily reconnect the m2v video with the wav audio?

You need to convert the wav into AC3. This is TMPGEnc+'s problem. You gotta buy some dumbass licence to the AC3 encoder.

Use BeSweet with the BeLight interface (see link in my signature and this FAQ) or Headac3he to convert and muxman to remux.

Lotsa ppl swear by TMPGEnc and many others swear at it. As for me (yes as for me), I made my mind up back in Chelsea, that I don't need it.

that's backwards blooie

worf, just follow this guide and you will get a single output file from tmpgenc with vid and sound. you got elementary streams because you selected PCM at the start>see guide.

Yeah,
I think I figured out the PCM thing and how to get it back to a single stream. I.E. System(video+audio) instead of ES(video+audio). In the template selection I noticed the PCM and the CBR MPEG-1 Layer ll Audio. So I picked MP2. That's good enough anyway, since it's just a video from the 80's, nothing spectacular. And of course it combined them. Thou, this doesn't help my currently two split streams, so I will have to try what the first reply says first, before 20 hours of reencoding.... Thanks for your help.

then instead of downloading other software just use the multiplex feature of tmpgenc plus. file>mpeg tools>multiplex/simple multiplex. next time don't make elementary streams if you don't need it.

yet another way is to mux them with tmpgenc dvd author.

[Worf19]

No, I said I couldn't do the multiplexing, because it said the mpeg audio streams were invalid. I just figured out how to do it right, but would have to redo it from the start. Otherwise, I'll have to do the other way to combine them together.

not sure what you did, it should work like a charm. there is also the authoring stage. sometimes it's worth it to start over. i've had to do it in the past, that's how you learn.
