Still really bad sound with Tmpeg 2.50

[P_Cherry]

When I export DV AVI file (32kHz sound) from Pinnacle Studio 7 and than convert it into mpeg2 using Tmpeg (SVCD format), sound is bad, little distorted (in comparesion to AVI file).

Please help, sound is not very distorted, but worst then in others encoders and I want to use Tmpeg, becouse picture is very very good

Can you get 44.1kHz sound? That might make a difference to TMPGEnc. I've heard that is is necessary to do a rate conversion (back to 44.1) if you have a 48kHz source (eg DVD), so I imagine it could be the same with 32k......never hear of anyone doing that before.

Hi !

Yeah, P_Cherry is totally correct ....... you need to use SSRC in TMPGenc to convert 32kHz to 44.1kHz BEFORE you let anything encode to MPEG1 layer II audio.

Hope this helps

To SUE DENIM: What do you mean with ,,SSRC,, ? Is it any special function in TMPEG ?

Hi again ....

Correct me if I'm wrong here but we are in Advanced Conversion, aren't we??

SSRC.exe is a small command-line based util that is absolutely great at samplerate conversion. It's fast and very transparent - none of that 'metallic' crap that you get with lesser samplerate converters.

TMPGenc has a browse line in the Environmental Settings menu. You can point it to SSRC.exe and TMPGenc will use it to do all necessary conversions.

BTW - SSRC stands for Shibatch Sample Rate Converter

You can find it at :

Have a good one!
