no Audio encoding :(

[ilhyfe]

Hiho,

I just downloaded ffmpegX and tried to convert a DVD and some DVB recordings to AVI/MPEG2 (DivX and XviD, SVCD). But no matter which soundformat I choose (mp3, mp2, AC3) I never have sound in the renderd video. Any ideas what the problem could be?

No one can help me? *sigh*...

Insufficient data, please post the Process output (blue “i” icon).

Here we go... This is a 5 sec sample (DVD -> AVI (XviD))

Are you encoding directly from a DVD? It is adviced to rip a DVD first to your HD. Ripping only the main title (to one vob file) works pretty well.

[ilhyfe]

I ripped it with MacTheRipper. Anyway, I have the same problem while converting my DVB recordings from eyetv...

Try to set audio track = 1. Any difference?

Nope. I just tried it with the DVD (though track 2 doesn't exist) and with a DVB recording. Here's my logfile...

Any idea what the problem is?! I have the same error with .ac3 files...

Perhaps try to use MPEG Streamclip to extract the audio stream.

Hiho,

i just rewrote my mpg2 file with streamclip and now it works.

Later I'll try it with a DVD. Thx so far...

[ilhyfe]

Ok, it seems that AC3 is the problem. I can convert mp2 sound without any problem but I don't get any sound if the source is in AC3 format.

Mhh... Any ideas?
