Tmpgenc making dvds with annoying audio

[saraamelia]

Hi everyone I only know the basics about video conversion, so I hope I wont confuse people. I am trying to turn some avi files I have into dvds using tmpgenc 2.5 to play on a standalone dvd player.
The picture turns out good (though a little jerky) but I just find that the audio doesn't come out great. Its almost like the audio catches at the end of sentences or there is a slight jerk to it, it is completely in synch but just sounds ever so slightly bubbly (its hard to explain) its definately bearable but I just find it annoying. heres the weird thing the movies play fine in a playstation 3 so I thought it must be the dvd player thats messed up, but then I tried an old dvd I had made with a different computer and that plays fine!
So before I make the film with tmpgenc I extract the audio with virtualdub, by doing no compression, conversion at 41000 and increasing the volume a little (i saw it on a guide a long time ago) and I get the same result as if I use the original audio. I was thinking about installing goldwave to see if extracting using that will make a difference.
any suggestions would be appreciated

conversion at 41000

41000 not allowed, 32000 and 44100 is allowed but 48000 is recommended

DVD must be 48000.

Because of recompression, processing, etc., AVI targeted for DVD should be processed with uncompressed PCM audio. Keep it as PCM until the very last step, which would be DVD authoring. At that point, before authoring you should convert to 48000 AC3 for DVD. MAny MPEG editors can do this, or you can use a separate (usually free) PCM/AC3 converter.

TMPGenc was never designed as a true audio re-encoder. Stay with uncompressed PCM to prevent corruption of the audio due to all the AVI processing/recompression, etc., and MPG encoding.

oooh, good that my DVD player doesn't know this

Yes, 48000 is standard however most of DVD players works perfectly with MPEG 1 LII 32000 and 44100

Hi everyone thank you so much for the replies. I actually meant to say 44100 (sorry). Yesterday I extracted the audio using virtualdub and chose no compression pcm, 48000 and still got the same results, should I use a different program to virtualdub?

What authoring program did you use to author and burn a DVD with MPEG 1 LII 32000 or 44100?

[sanlyn]

I'll second that question. My MPEG editors will not output "Standard DVD" with such audio, they will only output "Common MPEG" (i.e, not DVD-compliant). That's the only way my authoring programs will accept it.

hi everyone I extracted the audio with goldwave saving it as a wav, the first time compressing it as ac3 48000 stereo, the second time as pcm stereo and still the same thing happened, Im stuck! is making it stereo the problem?
