Staxrip. No sound?

[The.King]

Ok - I have a 1080p encode, see details below.

Type: Video
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame rate: 23.976023

Type: Audio
Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
Language: English
Channels: 3F2R/LFE
Sample rate: 48000 Hz


When I open this up in Staxrip and prepare for re-encoding (lets say to another .mp4 or even .mkv) when I configure the audio to read:

Codec: AAC
Mode: VBR
Profile: Automatic
Channels: 6 (5.1)
Sample Rate: Original (or 48000Hz)
Bitrate: 256kbps
Quality: 0.40

The resulting encode has perfect picture but absolutely no sound? i.e. Opened it with VLC, checked codec info, Video info is as above, but Audio isn't even listed?

Any ideas?

Also - if I can tag on one other question? Anyone know of a quality program to edit .mp4 video? I have two separate files that I need to trim a few minutes off each and then join them to make one complete (edited) file. I have tried VideoReDo, Yamb, avidemux, Solveig, and all the usuals - but none of them work properly. (i.e. they are either not frame accurate (or even close to accurate) or in the case of VideoReDo - it somehow changes the framerate from 23.976023 to 23.980815 ???

Thanks in advance.

I changed the thread title and I'm moved you to our video conversion section. You are not authoring a blu-ray.
