Video looks great, audio.... Not there??

[theseeker2654]

Yesterday I encoded a movie with Gknot and the output looked great.. Video was pretty darn good quality.. it was under 700mb which is what i wanted but for some reason there was no audio.. yes i set it up under the tab in gknot and yes i set it up on the page right before the actual encoding begins... also in the gknot encoder log it said it muxed the audio.. however when i play the resulting avi no sound is there.. anyone have any thoughts?

[edge4Krusher20]

I am having the same problem. I followed the guide thouroghly twice, and still there is no sound. The log says the the sound was Muxed but it's not there, also the file size is smaller than what Gknot was reporting by about 100 MB, that's about the same size as the audi file.

Would I need to use the WAV file or the AC3?

Thanks

What does it say when you load the avi file into virtualdub and select file->'file information'

And could you post you *_gknot.log

And when i load it into VD it shows NO audio stream.

[khp]

The audio muxing fails for some reason, I am not sure why.

You can do it manually by loading smoochy_Movie.avi into nandub, set video to direct stram copy, select audio->'(VBR) mp3 audio' and select the smoochy AC3 T01 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY -105ms_1.mp3 file, select audio->intrleaving and set the skew delay to -101. And save as avi with a new name.

[theseeker2654]

Ya know what the wierd thing is??? I have already tried that exact thing.. and when i type a file name into nandub for the new multiplexed avi.. i hit ok and nothing.. no status window... it doesnt say a dub is in progress.. a file does not start to get written in the destination directory.. nothing happens... its very odd... so im just ripping the audio out to a .wav file with vob2audio and multiplexing with Nandub.. i heard nandub does not asynchronize your a/v streams as bad as VD?? is this true?

[theseeker2654]

oh and one other thing.. what does Gknot .26.1 beta use for muxing??? what app.

[khp]

Check that the mp3 file is playable.

Nandub can handle vbr mp3 files, otherwise there is not much difference.

nandub

[theseeker2654]

Yea the mp3 is playable all the way through..

[edge4Krusher20]

Ok, so I tried something else, in the DIVX 5 properties when you select how you want to encode the audio (e.g. AC3 Mux, Mp3...)
I selected AC3 Mux, it is an AC3 File, and it works, but my sound and video play back in slow motion! So it sounds liek the devil shootin up some Nazi's in Max Payne fashion. Is this slow playback due to the fact that when I ripped the DVD, the frame rate was at 29.9 and then I funked around with it and the final frame rate is 23.4? Or am I just retarded, should through this whole bull**** out, pull out the nylon rope, tie a noose, slip my neck in, and kick the chair out?



Just getting frustrated. I have been working on this for 3 days now with no acceptable results.

Thanks

[and_bez]

I had the same problem with minority report divx, i found its only seems to be windows media player making it so SLOWWW, all other player work fine, eg bsplayer, mplayer2, powerdvd etc

just make sure you have a ac3 codec,(nino pack) as normally the movies that require that codec is what makes it so slow in windows media player, don't know y.

[edge4Krusher20]

Thanks for the info, I have the ac3 codec installed. I guess I'll just try the Divx player.

[theseeker2654]

oh and dude... before you kill yourself.. just use Vob2audio to extract the audio to a .wav file from the vob files.. then encode the video file in gknot with no audio and leave enough room free for the audio.. then put them together using VD after the video is encoded... much easier that way.. and u dont need to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight...

[edge4Krusher20]

That seems like an awful lot of work. But just to let you know Nandub works great on my machine.
