Trouble with audio while ripping DVD to SVCD....

[BryceOne]

I have these music video DVDs. They are LPCM audio, and when I play back the SVCD file (using DVD2SVCD), the audio is all static. I've tried DVD2AVI and DVD Audio Ripper (shareware version)... The results of the audio to WAV came out the same. I've never had this trouble with most DVDs (including some using LPCM audio).

The only thing that actually works is copying the complete DVD to another DVD. Does anyone know a way around this? I need to be able to convert it from NTSC to PAL format.

Usually DVDs will have AC3 audio. Even if there is LPCM audio then there will be another track of AC3 audio. Can you check that.

Yes, I know most have multiple audios but these do not.

Just to be clear, I'm not new to this, I've done these many times before. Also to be specific, the DVDs that I'm using are these 20th Century Masters Music Video collections (AKA The Universal Masters DVD Collection): The Fixx, Ace Of Base, etc. They're all made the same way.

You could encode video & audio separately to SVCD spec MPEG-2 file. Which you could burn later to CD as SVCD.

Rip the DVD with DVDDecrypter to video & audio elementary stream. Then encode video separately to SVCD specs M2V file using TMPGEnc or any other encode. Select the appropriate template and video only stream.

Encode the ripped LPCM audio to Mpeg 1 Layer 2 (MP2) audio at 224 Kbps 44.1 Khz using BeSweet or HeadAC3he.

Once you have separate video & audio files. Mux it with TMPGEnc. You should now have a MPEG-2 file wit SVCD specs

Good Luck
