    I have a 2 CD Xvid codec AC3 film I would like to convert to SxVCD - I have already managed to encode CD1 using only TMPGenc but after a system reinstall I cannot get CD2 to encode with sound.

    As I have already done CD1 I know this can be done with TMPGenc, but I have tried messing with TMPGenc but to no avail.

    I think the problem lies with Moonlight Odio not installing correctly as Gspot shows the Dolby Labs AC3 codec as NOT installed - I have tried many times to install it correctly - but GSPOT is able to render the file using AVI splitter.

    Am I on the right path here ? I know TMPGenc can encode AC3 as CD1 is done.

    Can someone please give me a nudge in the right direction here ?

    Glad you got it to work.

    You'd most likely want to join the avi's in Vdub, and extract the ac3 (as a wav - only by name) - rename the extension to ac3 and load it into Headac3he.....

    wait.....here you go...... https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/91588.php

    VCD and SVCD do not support an AC3 soundtrack, even if you did manage to do so, no DVD will be capable of playing such a format. SVCD does support 5.1 audio track, but not AC3 Dolby Digital, it has it's own format based on MPEG compression.

    You can downmix a 5.1 channel source in dvd2avi to get Pro Logic surround.
    Under Audio->Dolby Digital select Decode to convert the AC3 to WAV
    Also Select Dolby Surround Downmix to convert 5.1 to Pro Logic

    Converting the wav to Mpeg-1 Layer II in tmpgenc will keep the Pro Logic sound.

    Dolby Surround Downmix works fine with multi-channel audio but if your source is already 2ch such as DD2/0 you might need to turn it off.
