Problem with a sillent mp2 file

[ormonde]

"the problem i had was that after encoding the avi file , the mp2 file was sillent , thus needing to demux the avi.."

I would try and use the regular TMPGENc to encode the AVI directly, then use DVD Author to import the mpeg 2 file.

i demuxed an ac3 file from the avi , just as you did , but when i tried to load it in tmgenc dvd author , it gave me an illigal file error....
this method worked with a previous movie , is there a definitive guide , im sure that somthings going wrong

"i demuxed an ac3 file from the avi , just as you did , but when i tried to load it in tmgenc dvd author , it gave me an illigal file error...."

MOST authoring programs are very picky regarding .AC3 header information. Use "AC3fix" to correct your .AC3 file, then TMPGEnc DVD Author should accept it for input...

ok will do thanks setarip

[Becrazed_ben]

that worked well , thanks alot

[setarip]

"that worked well , thanks alot"

My pleasure ;>}

ok i tried it on another movie , but it seemed to demux an mp3 from the avi file... is there a way of converting this to ac3?

[Becrazed_ben]

answering my own question , i used besweet to convert the mp3 to ac3 then i used ac3fix to correct it , then when loaded into tmpgenc dvd author it gave me yet ANOTHER error message , this time saying:

*Cannot use 32000 Hz audio sampling rate for a standard DVD.

Cannot use 32000 Hz audio sampling rate for a standard DVD.
For a standard DVD you can only use the following sampling rates:

48000Hz or 96000Hz

What would you want to use 32000hz audio sampling rate for anyway ??????? the lower you go with the sampling rate the less subtle sounds you hear. All you are doing is making the rate go deeper, me i just keep the same source sampling rate (i.e 48000hz) that way the audio is nice and crisp and you can hear exactly what is on the DVD.

[Becrazed_ben]

i didnt intend to keep make the sampling rate that low , hense why im confused :/

[zx50]

Yeah, i know i just seen it now that you have replied.

[Becrazed_ben]

im still confused as to why the mp2 file was sillent though.. is there a fool proof way of getting the audio from the avi file without having to use tmpgenc, because it doesnt seem to like me

regards ben

"is there a fool proof way of getting the audio from the avi file without having to use tmpgenc"

Try using NanDub. (A variant program of the regular VirtualDub). However, it looks like by what you indicated in your previous posts, you have used the regular VirtualDubMod already.

what i ve done previously is get the wav file from the avi using Virtualdub then load it into tmpgenc with the avi and encode them , however when its complete the mp2 is sillent , dispite the fact the wav is in perfect working order.... i got round this on a few movies by demuxing the ac3 from the avi and then just encoding the avi (video only) in tmpgenc and loading both the ac3 and the m2v file into tmpgenc dvd author... seeing as the mp2 is sillent :/

To Becrazed_ben:

Try to convert the demuxed ac3 file to a "New" mp2 file in BeSweet (or HeadAC3he). Then go back to TMPGEnc and try to mux your .m2v file with the "Newly Created" mp2 from either BeSweet or HeadAC3he. See if that works.
