Please Help Regarding TMPGEnc Author

[dvdman1]

I really need some help, this problem has been really breaking my brain! What I have done is captured a complete laserdisc movie using my Pioneer Recorder, When recording I had to press stop 3 times becuase you have to switch sides when playing a LD movie. With the recorder whenever you press stop it reads the next time you record as a new titles so clip 1 is VTS_01_001, clip 2 reads as VTS_02_001 ext...

Well anyways, after I'm done with the movie, I do some VOB editing in DVD shrink to cut out some bits here and there. After I re-encode the VOB's I use VOBEDIT to join the 3 clips so I can get a whole movie, then I proceed and use IFOedit to create necessary files. Now here is the strange part, everything goes smooth and I creatue menus and such with my favorite authoring program TMPGEnc Author. Now it can detect the video but It says there is no audio. The real Strange part is that when I combine only 2 clips, it all works fine. On top of this I recorded the files to a dvd with nero without menues to see if it would play on my player with sound or not, and it plays perfectly! This is really strange. Does anyone know why on earth TMPGENC would not detect the audio! Any help on this would be sooooooooooo greatly appreciated! Let me know!

just a thought
once you trim up the files you really shouldn't need to merge them all together into one big file. You should be able to just add them in the proper order to the track in TDA and it will just play straight through all of them. It might not fix your problem but just thought i'd make the suggestion.

you could demux video and audio and then enter them in tmpgenc dvd author as separate files.

What I've done is added the separate mpg files into author and then made a dvd to harddrive (video_ts). Author said it will be too big (no prob) I saved it anyway, made the ts and then I use dvd2one after to make it fit to 4.7 .and everythin worked!

Might be worth a try, good luck!
