ffmpeggui AC3 --> MP2

[m00c0w04]

I'm trying to convert ATSC/A-52 Dobly AC3 to MP2 using ffmpeggui. I click convert and get this in the status:

ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4723, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
built on Oct 20 2004 18:37:34, gcc: 3.2.3 (mingw special 20030504-1)
Input #0, ac3, from 'D:\DS\cl.ac3':
Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A
Stream #0.0: Audio: 0x0000
Output #0, mp2, to 'D:\DS\cl.mp2':
Stream #0.0: Audio: mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, 384 kb/s
Stream mapping:
Stream #0.0 -> #0.0
Unsupported codec (id=11) for input stream #0.0

I've installed the codec from https://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=AC3_ACM_Decompressor but this doesn't fix anything. I can't use BeSweet either because everytime I try to transcode it always transcodes to 128Kbps. Any ideas?

Many thanks.

try belight instead.

It still does the same. Transcodes as...

[00:00:00:000] +-------- LAME -------
[00:00:00:000] | Bitrate method : CBR
[00:00:00:000] | MP3 bitrate : 128
[00:00:00:000] | Channels Mode : Joint Stereo
[00:00:00:000] | Error Protection: No

Neither ffmpeg or BeSweet use installed codecs. I really wouldn't recommend ffmpeg for mp2 conversion though as the mp2 encoder is not the best quality.

You could try the last ffmpeg compile that I did though. Should accept AC3 as input just fine: http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd//ffmpeg/ffmpeg.2005.01.11.7z
