  1. I have 2 mkv files that I want to convert to DVD. I have extracted the avi, aac, chapters and subs from the mkv's. I have used aacdrop (name?) to convert audio to wav. Everytime I try to use any program to author dvd or to convert wav to mp2 or ac3 I get an error, because the audio is 6 channel 22000khz (?). Any suggestions what to do? Ive tried the following programs with the following errors

    Besweet - (dvdlab wont recognize the wav or mp2 file)
    ffmpegGui (error wont convert file)
    Soundforge (wont open wav to convert and crashes)
    Goldwave (doesnt recognize format)

    Thanks for your help.

    Probably the aac was he aac, now without the header it is being decoded without the SBR part, so only half samplerate. I suspected this would happend, but when I tested it, the aac file still decoded ok, despite not showing up as he aac/sbr in coreaac, etc.

    ffmpeg should accept aac input directly if it was compiled with --enable-faad. You could also use mplayer to directly decode from the mkv to wav.

  3. I will give mplayer a shot. Any other help would be appreciated in case this doesnt work.

    Well here is an example of the kind of command line for extracting audio with mplayer:

    mplayer.exe -ao pcm:file=output.wav -aid # input.mkv -vo null -vc dummy

    -aid is used to specify the audio track you want if there is more than one. You may also use -alang eng, jap, etc. if the streams are tagged properly.

    The above command I don't think will work with old mplayer builds as the syntax has changed it would be -ao pcm -aofile output.wav

    Since you already have the wav file just load the wav into goldwave and resample upto 48k then save a new wav.

  6. When I try to resample in Goldwave it comes out with tons of clicking. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

    You can't expect good quality if it is 22Khz without the SBR part. Much better to decode it correctly.
