LAME by default makes MP3, I want to make MP2 audio files (such as used in DVD audio for example) using lame, however after searching high and lo, I cannot find the CLI switches to *OUTPUT* to MP2 audio.
Also, is there an input switch that will allow LAME to read AC3 files?
My LAME.EXE is 3.98.2 for Win32. The text/docs that come with it appear to be over simplified. I think there is more to it than what I am reading.
Thanks much!
Andrew

Does it have to be with command line tool?..Could also load the ac3 in Audacity and save as .mp2..

What do you mean when you say "DVD audio"? The high def audio format known as "DVD Audio" does not support MP2. If you mean audio on video DVDs, well, MP2 isn't really valid except for PAL. Technically speaking you can use it on NTSC DVD if another audio track is also AC3 or LPCM and some authoring applications don't enforce the restrictions, but generally it's probably best to avoid it if you can. I've never seen a commercial NTSC DVD that used it, but I do have a commercial PAL DVD that uses it.
It's not exactly what you want, but BeSweet can do this kind of conversion and create MP2 files. Perhaps you can use it.

Or,
ffmpeg -i sample.ac3 -ab 128k sample.mp2
Edit: I'm guessing maybe the OP wants to convert ac3-->.mp2

Well, the easy fix was azid.exe for AC3 to WAV, then I used TwoLAME for WAV to MPA/MP2.
This is being used inside a script to convert MTS/M2TS to AVI with MSMPEG4V2/MPA so the video can be more easily edited in older editing programs on slower computers (Also shrinking them down to 720 helps).

Since I have a solution on hand, this thread closed. I may also look into BeSweet too, thanks for all the replies!

You wish! After 2 years of membership you honestly think that will do the trick? We get dumbasses all the time who dig up threads 2+ years old and post stuff like "I agree" to them or hijack them for unrelated questions. Your "this thread closed" comment may work for a while, but don't be surprised if a year or two from now some future idiot posts here anyway.
