move file type in tmpeg authour

[efiste2]

what type of movie file do i need to put into the menu program in tmpgenc authour so the sound will play as well as the movie?????

[efiste2]

done a bit of searching through the forum and found this "Your background video file should have muxed video/audio for this to work." how can i do this ???

[jimmalenko]

Muxed audio/video just means that you have a file with both audio and video. I would assume that TMPGEnc DVD Author would accept MPEG-1 with perhaps an animation or sequence or still frame that will act as a visual background while the audio plays. I know there is a looping setting as well.

so what type of audio file do i need to put in the audio selection on tmpgen then ???

mp2 or pcm. Given certain conditions, ac3.

For more info, open TDA; select options>help>specifications. Also read associated (asterisked) helpfile audio footnotes.

If your input file is already muxed with acceptable video/audio filetypes, it will be automatically entered into both video/audo TDA input windows when using it's "add file" function...

Rewriteable disks are _really_ cheap whilst in learning curves..

Valid audio formats for DVD's (mpg2 video at least - I've not bothered with mpg1 as quality isn't worth it when I can do mpg2 -> DVD) are AC3 & PCM (also known as WAV). Some DVD playes (particularly like in Europe) may also accept mp2 audio.

What I do is take the picture I want and the song I want, put them in Adobe Premiere and output it to a DVD compliant mpg2 video. That video is what I load as the background in TMPGENc DVD Author. You might be able to do this with TMPGEnc as well using the 'Tools', but I haven't tried it.
