Dvd Lab Pro Audio Problem

[zak_swan]

i joined 2 svcd mpegs together and tried to convert them with DLP.
there was no audio on second part.
i searched on here and reboot recommends using ffmpeggui to convert audio to AC3 but that did'nt work so i tried using ffmpeggui to convert to mp2.
it worked! (after i had spend 4 or 5 hours mucking about doing various things)
why does AC3 i made not work with DLP but the mp2 does?

[Baldrick]

what didn't work? did the ac3 not play on your computer? or dvd player ???

[zak_swan]

when i used AC3 with DLP there was no audio on output DVD folder

Did you run the AC3 audio through AC3fix? That may be the reason.

[zak_swan]

i used virtualdubmod to save wave, used ffmpeggui to change to ac3.
put it in DVL , it's highlighted a kind of peachy colour.
run DVL then when i play it with winDVD there is no audio but if i used mp2 it does work.

Did you create a menu ?

If so, does it have audio ?

If so, is the audio the same format as the audio on the movie ?

[zak_swan]

no didn't create menu.
i'm happy enough that it works with mp2 just don't understand why ac3 doesn't work.

[zak_swan]

can some nice person tell me why the ac3 file i made doesn't work with DLP?
Is it something i've done wrong or a DLP problem?

i joined 2 svcd mpegs together

How did you join these? What kind of audio did the first clip have? ac3 or mp2?

when i used AC3 with DLP there was no audio on output DVD folder

You're not talking about the audio_ts folder are you?

put it in DVL , it's highlighted a kind of peachy colour.

Peach? Where? It's supposed to be green. Are you talking about the audio in the movie window or assets window?

Did you drop in demuxxed streams?

Are you making an NTSC or PAL disc and do you have strict compliancy turned on or off?

And most of all, did you test your source file after joining the svcds?

[zak_swan]

i joined the 2 mpegs with womble. the audio is MPEG1 layer 2

i meant audio on finished article when DLP finished not the audio folder

it was peachy colour in file browser window.

i did demux streams.

making PAL. dunno about strict compliance.

did test them after join and it was ok.

[zak_swan]

if i open the movie with WMP there is sound but not with winDVD.
the icon for ac3 files is blocky.
can anyone help?

[zak_swan]

using ac3 makes the audio go a lot quieter anyway.
i'll just use mp2 or buy svcd2dvd or just stick to my old method mainconcept > tmpgenc author
