Hi followed the guide for AVI-dvd using all the same software, dvd burns but no sound on playback on computer, panasonic dvd or PS2. audio selection when in dvd says MPEG2. Have done this twice, does it differ if when I convert it to mpeg2 if i do not split the audio and video.,
Are you sure you authored correctly that DVD? Usually an authoring application asks for the video, the audio(s) and the subtitle(s). That is: - the M2V (the encoder's MPEG2 output) - the audio stream(s) (AC3 , MP2 or WAV 48 kHz) - (oprional the subtitles) Theat application, ususlly, need video and ausio separated. No encoder I know will create a big (4.3 GB large) DVD MPG file . Try the plain (and free) IFOEdit, to seee an example. Do DVD Author___Author a new DVD. It will create, on your destination directory, a VOB set and the BUP,IFO needed, but if you won't give it any (compliant) audio stream you'll create a 'mute' VOB set.
I used TMPGENC-2 to make the mpeg 2 files and then IFOEdit to author the dvd using the DVD Author, selected the audio and seperate video mpeg's. and then used the batch of files it created in nero to make the dvd. When i open the audio mpeg in Media player it plays for the lenght that the film is but has no sound The audio info from the avi i converted is below 78 MB, 134 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3, Supported
I don't think DVDs support MP3 (MPEG Layer-3) as AVI have. I'm sure it supports MP2 (normal stereo), instead, or AC3 (1+1 or 5+1 channels). Of course, you won't be able to make a 5+1 audio stream from a 1+1 MP3 stream. Therefore I would do this: I would: 1) extract the audio from that AVI as an uncompressed WAV (open VirtualDub; set audio__Full processing mode; do File___Save WAV) 2) open HeadAC3he or FFMPEG GUI (use it if HeadAC3he signals you some errors and doesn't work). Load the WAV choose destinaction format: MP2 (I think you can leave the default 224 kbps; If you use FFMPEG GUI you can also choose AC3 192 kbps [2 channels] 48000 Hertz, which is a little smaller) Try authoring the DVD loading (with IFOEdit, or the authoring appication you use) as 'audio track' a MP2 or an AC3 stream, not a MP3 one. You should obtain a VOB set with sound, this time. Trust me.
