TDA - Audio on Track Skips?

[Garibaldi]

I've been working on this picture slideshow DVD project but I realized after making the mpeg for one of the slideshows that in fact one of the photos was bad and I needed to remove it. Rather than reencode the whole slideshow, I decided to just cut that section out in TMPGENC DVD Author as I was creating the dvd. I then created a new mp2 audio track and replaced the original in TDA with the new one. However, when I try to play it in TDA and after I create the dvd, the audio still skips over the part where I cut the picture out!! I can't understand it, this is a different audio track and I have checked it in other programs and it plays just fine. Here's a screenshot, you can see where I made the cut:


Any ideas why this is happening? What can I do to fix it?

I tried figuring it out but couldn't. Cute kid - is that a bakery mixing bin?

Possible it is related with this problem?

Audio/video break in DVD Author?

In my experience TMPG DVD Author does NOT make correct edits.
(Trimming from begin or end works OK)

That's why I always first edit my recordings with TMPGEnc MPEG Editor before authoring them with DVD Author.

Thanks for the quick replies! So what I should do then is take the original mpeg, demux it, and then import it into cuttermaran or mpg2schnitt and cut out the part I want gone in that app. Then export the files and import into TDA


Yes, its a baby/barn mix

Seems you have to output your first edited project and then start a new project by importing that output and using the new audio source because time-line operation are always applied to both video and audio.

I can tell you why its happening. Because you made a cut in the video at a certain time break, that time break is marked as such. When you add an audio track TDA does not know to just break the video stream and not the audio stream so the audio is broken at the same time break.

TDA is not smart enough to know NOT to break the audio, but just the video. If there was a chekbox or something for which you could tell TDA leave the audio track alone then it would work, but there is no such puppy. It makes sense, really.

So, yes, take your original stream out od TDA, demux, edit A/V, mux, then back into TDA.

The question I would ask you, though, is not the audio cut in the original audio stream not sufficient? Why make a new audio track?

I see what you're saying, and that makes sense. The thing that bothers me is I went into TDA and imported only that mpeg. I then cut out the section and exported it - with the original audio that is cut - as a DVD. I then went into my full project and said "import dvd video" and imported the dvd I had just made but told it to disregard all chapter information. It then imported the cut video, I added my new audio, and exported. This version STILL had the audio blip! Why? I'll give Mpeg2schnitt or something a shot soon too. What about Avidemux?

[Garibaldi]

I think I've got it! I extracted the video (m2v) with Rejig and multiplexed with ImagoMPEG... now I'm making the dvd
