Audio Conversion with PAL

[howie30420]

I am trying to convert a movie with the following information into SVCD.
The information is as follows:
Frame size: 640x480, 25.000fps(4000us)
# frames: 137234(1:31:29)
Decompressor: DivX 5.0.2 Codec
Number of key Frames: 549

Audio Stream:
Sampling Rate: 48000Hz
Channels: 2(Stereo)
Sample Precision: 0-bit
Compression: Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec
Preload skew: 0 samples(0.00s)
# frames: 5489

I have tried all the methods i can find, converting to wav first, saving the video and audio together as AVI in vdub, leaving the audio alone, converting to mpeg layer 2, converting to mpeg layer 3, .....but i am getting very bad quality audio in the converted SVCD. The original's audio is fine. I think it has something with the fact it is originally a layer 3 audio....any ideas?

I wonder if you are allowing TMPG to do the resampling??

What I do successfully with this sort of material is load the avi into Virtualdub, Audio>Full processing mode, Audio>Conversion (select 44100Hz and High Quality), File>Save wav.

Depending on your chosen method of SVCD creation you can input the wav directly as the audio source for TMPG, or if you use CCE you can process the wav to .mp2 with TMPG and then mux with the video stream later.

There are other methods, but using both of these methods the audio always turns out perfectly for me.

thank you that worked....i think it was clicking the "high quality" box that did it
