Odd sound problem

[themadthinker]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I have a VIDEO_TS folder that I'm trying to turn into DivX. I throw it into ffmpegX, set up everything right, make sure the audio detects the right track and everything. I tell it to encode, terminal does it's thing, and after a few hours, I have my nifty wee .avi

So I try and run it on Quicktime, but no sound. Run it through both DivX validator and DivX Doctor II. Validator doesn't even do anything. Doesn't add it to the batch, doesn't crash, nothing. DD2 does it's thing happily, but still no sound. So I run it through DivX tool, which says there's no encoded .mp3 audio.

What did I do wrong? I checked the original VIDEO_TS for sound, and VLC runs it with sound, but when I play it in ffmpegX it doesn't.

I used DVD Backup to make the VIDEO_TS folder as Osex always crashes with me.

Any suggestions?

Much obliged

Do you get sound if you play it with Mplayer OSX, or with ffmpegX "Play" button?

No it doesn't. But when I click the check audio button, it says "[open] audio stream: 0 audio format: Icpm (stereo) language: unknown aid: 160"


So that means there's an audio track there, right?


And when I try to encode it, terminal tells me "MPEG: No audio stream found -> no sound."

What am I doing wrong?

Try to extract the audio stream with the "elementary streams" option of 0SEx, then try to convert it to .mp3 in some way. Finally use "AviTool 2" to insert the .mp3 audio in the .avi.

The problem there is that OSEx crashes every single time I try it. The only thing it can do is make Disc Images, apart from that, it just unexpectedly quits as soon as I hit go.

Maybe it's the DVD that's the problem, I should try it with a different one.

I just discovered that mplayer OS X 2 plays the VIDEO_TS fine with sound and all, but when I press play in ffmpegx, the sound doesn't.

Am I missing some software or something?
