How to change audio setting in ATI AIW 128 Pro

[william_n]

Nero 5.0 has problems with captured MPEG1 by this ATI board, complaining about non-standard VCD audio. When I ignored it and went ahead and burnt it as non-compliance VCD, it ends up having problem with playing sound on the DVD player (playing w/ MMC 7.1 on PC is OK). If I set the capture mode as VCD then everything is OK, but this mode is so poor in quality. I think the problem is the 224k audio bit rate (standard for VCD 2.0), ATI may defaultly set it lower may be 192k. However, ATI does not allow you to change it, so it causes the non-complance with Nero.
Anyone know how to change this audio bit rate thru register editing or others. Thanks a lot in advance !!

Been there. Try to get Ulead software.(it will make producing VCDs easiear to burn). This program came with my ATI AIW pro card.

I don't think you have a problem with sound. You say everything is fine when you capture in the VCD default. I'm guessing that you are trying to do XVCD captures without the VCD subkey in the registry switched to 1. Get MMC 7.1 registry tool that's on this site and you should be fine.

nero's complaint always says bad audio, even if the problem is video. it'll say something like "0 channels @ 1Hz" or something. try the above suggestion and that should take care of it. or you can just turn off nero compliance under layout info.

if you're gonna buy editing software, buy Video Factory from sonic foundry. it uses the same Ligos GoMotion encoder to process with, has a much better interface, and costs half as much. i got them both for free (one w/AIW one on a rebate) and i've never loaded Ulead again. there are some people on the sonic foundry site that are complaining about the registration of VF 2.0, which includes a utility to burn the VCDs (just plain VCD, no menu, no SVCD), but having nero and TMPG along with VF 1.0 to so SVCD i'm happy enough.
