strange sound after my final encode

[LiNUXG33K]

Hi -

I am ripping a DVD to SVCD. The final product looks and sounds fine, but there is a faint (ringing) sound in the backgroud. The ringing sound does NOT show up on the Original DVD or on the ripped VOB files or on the *.wav file after going through DVD2AVI. The ringing only shows up in the final *.MPG after going through TMPGenc. I have not had this problem ever before and I do alot of DVD rips.

What could be causing this sound ?? Here is my ripping info:

Ripper = SmartRipper
Convertion = DVD2AVI
Encoder = TMPGenc
TMPGend settings are Super Video-CD PAL (MPEG-2 480x576 25fps 2-PASS VBR 2520kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps) NO filters except for DE-Interlacing set to double.

Thanks for any thoughts on this !

1) in dvd2avi, what was the bitrate of the audio file being extracted??? is it 192 kbit/s?

2) try the latest stable version of dvd2avi, i've fixed couple of problems by switching (including audio problems)

3) try using an external audio encoder, rather than using tmpgenc...(i.e. besweet or toolame)

4) you can also try to downsample in dvd2avi (48 KHz -> 44.1 KHz), preferably high quality downsample, rather than letting tmpgenc do it...
