Bad audio from DVD Rip

[MDK]

I use vob2wav (to extract the wav file)-->ssrc (to downsample from 48 to 44.1) -->toolame (to encode to 224 bitrate) for my mp2 creation.

I read some posts in this forum and that sounded like the best combination. I am not satisfied with the results. All the mp2 files I create have a sort of static hiss (like fuzz) and are tinny in some spots. The sound is okay on lower volumes but as soon as you turn it up a bit the lack of quality is very apparent. I am thinking that this is not right since you should be able to get near perfect audio from a DVD source.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Some Dvd's can be tough to rip correctly. I've had problems recently making a back up of my movie shrek. To overcome the audio problems I used vstrip and demuxed the ac3 out of the vob. I then used ac3decode program to convert the ac3 file to wav. I used smartripper2.36 and set it up to rip the video stream only from the vob's and used dvd2avi then to convert your new vob to d2v file. In Tmpgenc i then combined and encoded the d2v and wav files to make a vcd mpeg file. It worked beautiful. Maybe this will help in your case.
To legally make a backup of a dvd you must own the dvd.

Hi MDK,
Just a thought but are you making SVCD to play on stand alone player? If so then downsampling can be a waste of time. Most dvd players that play SVCD will run the 48k track no probs. At 224 kbps this could be a bit wasteful though. I've done several rip/converts using 192kbps and 128kbps (CD qual) at 48k with excellent audio quality. It's just a shame that no stand alones support multi channel audio SVCD decode or i'd use the 224 kbps and 5.1 channels. SVCD playback will only be at 2 channel or surround at best. Look at DVD2SVCD as an alternate package. It uses toolame for audio and is a nice one step rip--->svcd option.
