Multiplexing issue...

[soneman]

I'm having a problem with multiplexing an edited audio track into an MPEG file.

This is what I want to do.

I have an MPEG file where the sound is a little distorted. In fact, I can hear a hissing sound when the MPEG file is being played. I want to remove the hissing from the sound and multiplex the edited sound into a new MPEG file.

I'm using a combination of TMPGEnc MPEG Tools (to De-Multiplex my MPEG file into a .m1v file and a .mp3 file) and CDex (to convert from .mp3 to .wav and vice versa), Sony Sound Forge (to eliminate the hissing sound from the resulting .wav file).

I've gone through the De-Multiplexing and editing the .wav file steps. Now my problem is getting the edited .wav file to Multiplex back into an MPEG file in TMPGEnc MPEG Tools. But whenever I try opening the edited .wav file in TMPGEnc MPEG Tools, I keep on getting an error message along the lines of 'Illegal MPEG Audio Stream'.

What do I need to do to create a fully compliant MPEG sound file? In the drop down list in TMPGEnc MPEG Tools, I can select a .mp1, .mp2, .mp3, .ac3 and .wav file for the audio stream.

I really don't want to re-encode the whole MPEG again as it could take a good few hours to complete.

Any help would be much appreciated.

you can't multiplex mpeg video with wav using tmpgenc. just convert the wav to mpa/mp2 or mp3 with for example ffmpeggui, belight.

I think I'll give BeLight a try then.

Do you by any chance know which encoding settings I need to use to create an MPEG1 .mp2 file?

[soneman]

I've tried both BeLight and ffmpeggui.

The hissing sound I talked about earlier returns after converting back to .mp2 format.

So what should I do now?

[Baldrick]

what is the wav audio source hz? are you convering to same?
test toolame?

or try convert to mp3 instead.

[soneman]

The audio source is 44,100 Hz, 16 bit, Stereo in Uncompressed .wav format.

I think I'll give toolame a go.

[soneman]

I need a little help with command line instructions.

Can someone post some instructions on how to get toolame to convert a .wav file to .mp1 or .mp2?

Edit: Worked it out.

Have had no luck in converting to both .mp1 and .mp2 using toolame. I still have the hissing sound.

I've tried converting to .mp3 format with both Sony Sound Forge and CDex and both create non-compliant .mp3 files.
