Need help combining .m2v and .wav file... FAST

[rbmerc]

I am burning some DVD's tonight and I really need some help fast guys.. I need to combine a .m2v video file and a .wav file... should i convert the .wav to .ac3 or what should I do? I am using DVD Architect 2.0 to author my DVD and when I try to merge the audio in with the video it says something about an error and a codec wasn't opened properly with the .wav file... What do I do?!

I would convert the audio to ac3 . There is no easier way than a programme called ffmpeggui . I haven't used DVD Achitect though.

You shouldn't have to mux the m2v with the audio, though I haven't used DVD Architect either.

well when i convert it to .ac3 using ffmpegui it makes a file but it is 0 bytes large and wont work... am i doing something wrong?

Make sure the wav is either 44 or 48 khz cause if its lower such as 22khz then you will get that error.

[rbmerc]

alright well how do i know what hertz it is? i used virtual dub to extract the wav from the video file before i used tmpgenc to turn the .avi file into a .m2v file... heeelppp

Load the file in virtualdub and choose audio/full processing mode/conversion and change to 48khz if it is a lower rate such as 22khz then save wav as.

first - don't read most of the posts above ....

for DVD Architect

it requires a progam stream for your video , so load the m2v file in tmpgenc mpeg tools and mux it with NO audio to a mpeg file ..


and for the audio -- no mater the sample rate , load it (the wav file) into DVD Architect and DVDA will convert it to an ac3 file for you when you make the project -- and change sample rate if required ..


read the manual on DVDA 2

it keeps telling me the audio source is corrupt... what the heck.. i cant put it into tmpgenc or into dvd architect... i can listen to it through windows media player just fine though... ?

if you ripped it out of a avi file --

even if you saved it as wav ... it may be a mp3 or ac3 file

if it is ac3 , use ac3fix on it ...

if it is a VBR mp3 file .. re-rip it out of v-dub in full proccessing mode and save it as a wav .

if it is a CBR mp3 , it should import just fine

[rbmerc]

ok i ripped the audio out of the .avi file and it is a .wav format now, i cant load the .wav file into any programs because it says illegal mpeg stream and unsupported in practically every one of them... what the hell is going on?!

EDIT: I GOT IT GUYS! I used the DVD Audio Ripper tool to get the sound i needed off of the DVD and I used Adobe Premiere Pro to extract the audio for my movie... Thanks for the help guys... Sorry I am such a newb, I learned a TON tonight!
