.mp2 files....need help

[|Supreme|]

i have a svcd..and its in 2 pieces..i got both sound files..their in .mp2 format....cant seem to join them correctly..anyone know of any software that does it?...i had a mp3 joiner..but tmpgenc said the file i made wasnt supported or something...please help...been trying to get the video into one piece with all the audio in it..for 3 days now

Sounds like you want to multiplex (aka mux) a video and audio source to generate one MPEG file, is that correct. If so you should have two files:

video - m1v, m2v, mpv
audio - mpa, mp2

mp3 audio is not supported in MPEG1/MPEG2 files (only MPEG4 DivX files). Check out:

for more info on how to do this. Question why/how did you get the de-muxed video/audio files???

thanks vejita....i figured out the sound problem...what i do is rename the .mp2's to .mp3..and then join them..with mp3 joiner..and then i convert it to .mp2 with Complete Audio Converter..only problem is....i have like a 30 day free trial....so...need to find some freeware apps...
but i would like to address my bigger problem... its joining svcd mpegs...its ridiculous.when you use tmpgenc...and join 2 files.. you get sound + video = only video...i have to do some wicked de-mux'ing..and then re-mux with the converted or cut audio........takes a lot of time...should just put it on dvd as 2 files

It sounds like you DO NOT wanna join, but MERGE. Am I right .....

[|Supreme|]

yea merge...man now...my audio is one second out of sync...*Sighs...

[zephyrus]

Remember when you are encoding an audio file to .mp2 then it must be CBR encoded before. Else you cannot trust the sync after the encoding have finished.

[|Supreme|]

what is cbr...encoding?..how can i do it in tmpgenc...

[zephyrus]

You must Demultiplex the audio streams to .mp2 and then to uncompressed .wav file.
Then merge the 2 files. Then encode the merged file back to .mp2 and multiplex with TMpgEnc again.

But to make sure that I understand you right, I will try to make a list of what I think you got, and what you want.

As I understand you got:

2 .mpg files with 1 video stream and 1 audio stream in both.
2 .mp2 files that will be the second audio stream.

You wan't to make this into ONE big .mpg file with 2 audio stream and 1 video stream.... RIGHT ???


Else tell me what you EXACTLY got and EXACTLY wan't, and I will make a guide for you.

[|Supreme|]

i'll pm you.ok?

[|Supreme|]

so..zephyrus..you said you'd make a guide to help me..i sent you a pm..telling you my situation...please respond back

Why do you want to join them? The only reason I can think of is if you want to split them somewhere else.

If you are burning to SVCD you can add more than one mpeg to your compilation without joining.

[Raylyns]

change your audio files to mpg - then use TMPGenc / tools.
use the merge/cut tab
add your first then your second audio file
then run and create your new .mpg file

NOW YOU MUST RE-MAKE & ENCODE THIS .mpg FILE USING TMPGenc
( ES AUDIO ONLY ) select this at start up

a usable .mp2 file with perfect sync is now created.

omg..i love you.lol...thanks...=)..saved me a lot of time messing with all these joiners...but just to make it clear what i wanted to do was.i had this movie...with 3 parts....and in the 2nd and 3rd parts..it repeated the previous 3 seconds of the last part...so i wanted to cut that out.but when i did with tmpgenc.all the audio went to shit.so i wanted to get the audio from the original file...convert it to mp3.or to wav->mp3..and then back to mp2...hopefully what you said will work... major problem i had wasE™Y– sound being too early or too late
