Help with ac3

[jcat]

I captured VHS output (using ADVC-100 and Scenalyzer) in DV type 2 and then used Virtual Dub to strip the sound into a WAV file and BeSweet to convert the WAV file into AC3. Ended up with an AC3 file that works just fine when I play it in WinAmp (with winampac3). Meanwhile, converted the video stream to m2v with TMPGenc. So now I have an ac3 file and a m2v file.

Then I tried to author in TMPGenc DVD Author, using the m2v file as the video input and the ac3 file as the audio input. Authored DVD files had no audio when played in PowerDVD.

I tried muxing the ac3 and m2v files in TMPGenc and authoring the resulting mpg file in DVD Author - still no audio.

I did succeed in getting audio when I used mp2 instead of ac3 (converting in TMPGenc using TooLame). But with ac3 I could not get any sound whatsoever.

Anyone have any thoughts about what might be the problem?
