Converted avi to mpg using TMPGenc but I no longer have audio!

[LT. Columbo]

I know that I'm probably asking a really dumb question, but still...
How do you use the AC3 in TMPGEnc DVD Author? I've been converting .avi files and I think I've been correctly following LT's guide (without which I'd still be in the middle of nowhere) and I can't remember seeing anything about AC3 in the authoring.
I ask because not all conversions have been perfect and I was wondering if this might be the cause.

it's there

under "Authoring with TMPGenc DVD Author"

couple screenshots down in colored, bolded text.

note: you'll likely have to "fix" the AC3 file with AC3fix or besliced. (see links at top of guide)

good luck

You're perfectly right LT! (as usual). I just didn't pay enough attention.

One more question: what if I have an mp3 audio file instead of an AC3?
Do I convert the mp3 to wav, run the wav in in TMPGEnc, convert it again to AC3 and use the AC3 in TMPGenc DVD Author? If so, do I still need need to fix the AC3 headers?

Actually, that's more than one!

well for me no, TMPGEnc accepts mpeg layer 3 audio just fine and i just use the audio from the mpg file it makes, but if it errs then the rest of what you said will work.

Thanks for the help LT.
I'll give it a try and as soon as I have some results I'll post.
