Hey ive encoded my movie to DVD format via tmpgenc... it has produced three files... one a audio file, one is some video file and one is a file with a .m2v extension..... i go to make a dvd with tmpg dvd author, it tells me to open the file, it only recognises the .m2v file... i go ahead with the processing. When its finished i find there are only video files in the folders... none in the audio, i dont want to waste dvds making a movie with no audio. Any suggestions?
Why have you made separate streams? Why not mux the audio to the video. You have two ways of doing this, if the original video was a single file (video and audio intact) then open TMPGenc Plus and encode to DVD compliant files but make the output a single MPEG-2 (or MPEG-1 depending on what you want, DVD, VCD, or SVCD, TMPGenc will choose the correct one by what you choose at the start of the wizard e.g. NTSC DVD). Once the encoding has finished you will have a single DVD compliant file ready to be loaded into DVD-lab, Nerovision, TMPGenc DVD Author etc. Another method would be the mux I mentioned. Open up TMPGenc (I think any of the software can do this part). Click File, then MPEG Tools. Then Click the Multiplex tab, and open your audio and video into it and choose an output file. Once it has muxed launch the resultant file and check it is in sync then do what you want with it. Hope this has helped
Why mux? Tmpgenc DVD author will mux during authoring. Look in the options further, it will accept DVD compliant audio streams.
Well he can just do that then, I was offering my advice on what I would do, I never split the streams as sometimes sync issues occur.
I think he's referring to the AUDIO_TS folder being empty. This is normal, ignore it. Play the compiled DVD in a good player such as PowerDVD or WinDVD and if it has audio, then the burned disk should also have audio.
Yeah thanks reboot that was the problem.... I assume the audio folder is just for other languages or something i dunno.
