Audio when encoding with TMPGEnc goes an octave higher!

[Anonymous49854]

I recorded to AVI and everything is perfect but when I convert this to SVCD using TMPGEnc, the audio goes an octave higher, but at the right speed
any ideas!?
I seperated the audio from the AVI file and encoded to a seperate .mp2 file and multiplexed the SVCD. Then I joined the original SVCD video with the newly encoded .mp2 (which was fine on its own), the audio on the finished file was still an octave higher!

You need to convert the audio sample rate to 44.1kHz...

can I do that with the completed MPEG2 file where the sound is too high?
what program will do that?

[JJamez]

You can do it in TMPG, or many other programs - I'm not sure what you're using now to make the .mp2.

Assuming your original audio is a wav, open TMPG, check 'Audio only', load the wav, select 'Settings' and change the 'Sampling Frequency' to 44.1.

it is at 44100 :-?
TMPGEnc is what I used to convert the WAV to MP2 in the first place
any other suggestions?
thanks

What happens when you play the original wav file and the mp2, before muxing them with the video?

[Anonymous49854]

both the original WAV AND the encoded MP2 are fine on their own
(I used TMPGEnc to convert the wav to mp2)
once you mux them with the video (again with TMPGEnc), everyone's voices suddenly haven't broken yet ;)
thanks for the help!

Try playing the premuxed video file on its own (change it from mpv to mpg if need be...) and see what the play length is - is it the same as the wav and/or mp2? Whats the frame rate of the original AVI?

If the audio and video play times are the same and the frame rate is 29.97, then I'm kinda stumped.. Have you tried muxing in BBMPG?
