I recently was able to acquire a full version of CCE for a couple of days to try to encode an AVI file. I left it on overnight encoding, and when it was finished the picture quality was pristine, however there was no sound, and no sound file in the folder. I had chosen to create a WAV file as the audio. When I tried it again it gave me an error, (error number 512), and said something about the audio and WAV not supported, and then quit. I attempted to encode the file to DVD format again, and then ripped the AC3 audio separately, but again the encode would not work and quit after one pass. My question is is this the correct way to attempt this? If I encode the video to MPEG2 video, and rip the AC3 audio separately then I should be able to combine the two back together with authoring software, correct? If this is true then which authoring software is recommended?
Yes, you could with tmpGenc combnine the files using the File > mpeg tools and it would be one mpeg file and it should work. GooD Luck
Thank you for you help. I successfully figured out how to encode the avi video to mpeg2 video. I then ripped the AC3 audio from the avi file and combine with TMPGEnc Author. I got a warning about the bitrate being too high for the combine audio and video however. Luckily it still plays in my dvd player, but I'm still curious. The audio bitrate is 448 kb/s and I didn't want to mess with that, but I encoded the bitrate of the video just as specified with CCE. I assume that if I were to encode it again and just set a lower max. level bitrate and lower average bitrate this would resolve the problem?
probably,i dont know much about CCE and this error, but i would definately not touch the ac3 but the video instead. GooD Luck
