OK, I'm a relative n00b in conversions but ive searched for days and i cant fid a solution. I tried to encode 2 movies from Xvid/avi files into DVD formats (MPEG2 i think?) Anyway, I used TMPG as my tool, and have tried a few others. The pictures fine, but the AUDIO ALWAYS DISAPPEARS. I've got the audios extracted from the films in .wav and .ac3 (One used AC3, the other lameMP2 as sound). I can't "reattach" the sound in IFOedit either. Any possible solutions would really be great. -Ragnarok
TMPGenc MPEG2 is not DVD format but is VCD format. DVD is MPEG1. TMPGenc requires uncompressed WAV file and prefers to use its own built-in MP2 encoder for audio. Your WAV file might be a RIFF WAV (a compressed WAV with a RIFF header). A real (CD quality PCM @ 48kHz) WAV audio file would be approx 1.3GB for a 2 hour film. If you have an AC3 file, use the AZID function in BeSweet to extract it to a WAV. Let TMPGenc encode the audio itself from this. Tip: Use 2-pass AZID (Normalize to 100%) and heavy compression for best results, especially action films with heavy gunshots/explosions/sirens etc. Regards
your right m8, can be a bit confusing at times, no biggy anywayz in answer to ur question rag, tmpge can actually encode ac3 audio when u have this little prog install, no need to convert to wav: dowload install, then u can encode ac3 audio str8 from tmpge http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/AC3ACM/ and i think u mean lame mp3, this has got to be converted to wav first b4 the encode, use virtualdub for that, u shouldnt have any problems, if u do, well theres a billion other programs out there that can do the same thing cheerz
