Audio Assistance required for Blade II

[Morphius]

Hey all,

Well I ripped Blade II last evening, used smart ripper and got the .m2v and .ac3 files, no problem.

Used ReMPG2 and got the .m2v down to about 3.7GB. The .ac3 file is approximately 383,361KB, so I will be fine on disk space.

I started up Spruce, did not want any menus so I placed the video file on the storyboard and all was well, played in spruce no problems there either except no audio.

Thinking that I couldnt hear it cause of the software player I made an image copy of the movie. Worked like a charm after I changed the .img to .iso using Ulead's DVD Movie Factory, burnt without a hitch and plays superb in my stand alone Sony and Samsung DVD Players.

OK, I missed a step here somewhere for the audio.

Video is great, but no audio

Can some kind soul please respond to the step that I missed?

Thanks so much in advance

Can I assume that you changed the name of the ac3 file to be the same as the m2v file?

[Morphius]

both have the same name, only difference is the .ac3 and .m2v extensions

first....why do u use spruce up to author your files. since u used rempeg to encode u can use ifoedit to remux your video/audio streams.

which would be alot faster.


with spruce up u have to wait awhile for your video/audio files to load then u have to wait awhile when your created a title set or disc image

u just remux with ifoedit and also u can keep your oringinal menu

try that


also in spruce up after the video loads does the audio load too? is there a speaker icon on the movie asset window ? this shows there is audio.

i have the trial version of spruce with a crack...OOPS i mean i have the full version ..lol... and when i simulate my authoring everything plays... i know the trial version doesnt playback .ac3 files but i dont know if it just doesnt play them back in spruce or does it disables(not really loads) the whole audio track




suggestion:

use ifoedit to remux the streams and go from there

yeah the answer is - u decoded the audio stream intead of demuxing it, which means u have ended up with a *.wav file instead of a *.ac3 file. Try putting the dvd back in the drive, use DVD Decrypter in ifo mode, goto stream processing, find the ac3 file, then demux it.

But u could forget all that and do what "eatin sammiches for lunch" said. Get a version of IFOEDIT -http://cks001.szm.sk/ found here. then goto remux, find ur *.m2v file and then remux it back into the vobs.

hope this helps abit more.
