No Sound on Xvid to DVD conversion

[Stnfx]

Hi
I’m a newbie to the DVD writing world.
Bought a AOpen DRW 4410 and a few DVD+RW’s and have been trying to convert 2 Xvid videos I downloaded to DVD to play on my Marantz home theatre system (PAL TV in my country).

First download video:
GSpot gives:
Video
Codec:Xvid
Bitrate=115k KB/s
FPS =25 (so I assume its PAL, great)
Audio
(PM3) MPEG -1 Layer 3
148 kb/s VBR LAME 3.93
44100 Hz (so I think this was/is SVCD?)

Second Video:
Video
Xvid
Bitrate 807 kb/s
FPS 23.97 (So this is NTSC & I must convert to PAL for my system)
Audeo
(PM3) MPEG -1 Layer 3
128 kb/s VBR LAME 3.93
48000 Hz

Used TMPGEnc to convent to DVD. Selecting CBR MPEG-1 Layer II Audio (MP2)
I let TMPGEnc convert to PAL standard.

Read all I could on forum but still seem to be messing up somewhere.
The burnt DVD’s play good picture quality and sound on my PC when I play the DVD’s on my Marantz DVD I still get great picture but no sound.
So read a bit more on Forum and I tried extracting the sound file to wav using Goldwave (PCM Audio, bitrate 1536 kb/s 4800 stereo) & then using TMPGEnc to combine the video (from original download) and sound (from Goldwave extraction) back together, but still no luck after many, many hours of waiting for encoding to complete (PS: is there a way to burn just 3min to DVD to see I am getting sound instead of waiting 3.5 hrs every time?)

I used TMPGEnc DVD Author to create the final VOB files and then Nero to burn them ( I copy the VOB files to Video Folder in Nero DVD video wizard)

Well I am STUCK. What is this dumb Newbie not seeing
Any help will be appreciated
I eagerly await my 1st successful DVD burn

Thanks

I'm assuming you made a typo in your message, but the audio shouldn't be 4800 but 48000....that extra zero will make a huge bit of difference.

Strip out the mp3 audio to a wav file using Virtualdub. Use the wav when remuxing the audio with the video using TMPGEnc.

Thanks cplevel42 for the advice.
I stripped out the mp3 audio to a wav file using Virtualdub.

Please could you tell me what settings I use when using TMPGEnc when using the video & sound wave? (eg System (audio & video), CBR /VBR Linear PCM Audio or CBR /VBR MPEG 1-Layer II audio)

Any help appreciated
thanks

No prob!

OK, your 1st XVID is OK cause its 25.00 fps, but the second one is 23.97 wich is NTSC Film. This is really a bitch to convert to PAL, but it can be done. See this link. https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/78178.php

OK, now for TMPGEnc Settings. For you 25.00 fps file use the wizard and choose PAL DVD. Use that default. Add your Video only file to the destination window then add your wave file to the audio destination window. Keep clicking next until it asks where you want to put the output file. Choose something easy, like your desktop. Hit next until it sarts encoding.
