AC3 Plugin with TMPGEnc Xpress - How?

[Mickey79]

Ave,

I've been using TMPGEnc Xpress for all my video encodings. I installed the TMPGEnc Dolby-Digital Plugin for enconding to AC3 audio. But how do i used it?

From what i thought, in the TMPGEnc Xpress, when you're encoding a movie, if you clicked on the "Audio" tab, apart from PCM & Wav, it would give the AC3 option.. but it doesn't.

I do believe i have the TMPGEnc AC3 plugin properly installed.. but it doesn't appear anywhere in my TMPGEnc Xpress during Encoding options. What am i doing wrong? How do i use it? Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks,
Mickey

In the audio setting, the choice Dolby Digital (AC-3) appears, you can then choose Dolby Digital for output.
I would either uninstall both Xpress and the AC3 plugin, then reinstall both. If that doesn't work try here for more tech support.

I'm at work now, but as soon as i'm home, i'm definately going to try uninstalling & reinstalling both of them. I hope it works!

Ave,

I did actually uninstall and re-install both, but it still doesn't work. Is there any sepecifi order of re-install that you may recommend? Secondly, what versions of TMPG Xpress & Audio Plugin are you using? Do you get the Dolby Plugin information appear in the About window?

I'm baffled, i've never had such a problem with something.

Thanks,
Mickey

I get the same problem too.
I see "TMPGEnc Sound Plug-in AC3" when I go to Start/Program/TMPGEnc/TMPGEnc Sound Plug-in AC3, but nothing about AC3 appears in TMPGEnc Xpress.

Any ideas?

Perhaps you have an old version? TMPGEnc Xpress I think needs at least 1.10.

Ave,

I have Tmpgenc Xpress 1.3 .. it's the latest version.
What order did you install these programs in? I installed DVD Author, Xpress & Then the plugin. Also, do you have to put any plug-in files in the Xpress folder? How does the program know where the plugin is or that it's installed, if they are all in different folders?

Thanks,
Mickey

I think he means version 1.10 of the AC3 plug-in.
