TMPGenc Audio Problem

[Iwan2learn]

hello guys.. I'm authoring a DVD and have successfully created menu but when I try to finally burn it, it says something about audio problem something like a Dolby Digital audio is needed and I must change the setting of track 1 in dolby digital.. I wonder if it will affect my audio output.. I am going to play the authored dvd in Philips PET710 portable player.. Thanks in advance.

Dolby audio will work fine.

But what is your current audio in the source file? Identify using for example mediainfo.

I used the software u suggested and this is my findings

MPEG audio (Version 1)(Layer 2)

note: I have encoded this mpeg in tmpgenc express..

so do i need to reencode the audio to dolby?

You don't say which authoring program you are using?

lol, read carefully

If you have NTSC project, TDA screams for PCM or Dolby as these audio codecs are format standard. MP2 is supported officially by PAL only.

I don't remember if it's possible to skip the warning and render the project in TDA, but anyway check if your player supports MP2 audio as many may require AC3 or PCM somewhere - for some it's OK to add AC3/PCM for menu only while older players require second audio track.

BTW: AC3 compress a bit better than MP2 of the same bitrate, and it's less lossy.

I did. TMPGEnc Express is an encoder. There's no mention of TDA.
