I want to import my ac3 audio into tmpgenc dvd author along with my edited video. This is my process: I am using premiere 6 to edit my video and wave audio. I am taking my premiere wave audio and converting it to ac3 using ffmpeggui. I take my video, only and run it through tmpgenc plus to make a dvd complient mpeg, encode. so now ihave mpeg video and ac3 audio ready to import to tmpgenc dvd author. Will this work, importing my ac3 into tmpegenc dvd author? I do understand that tmpgenc dvd has an ac3 plugin ,but I am not connected to the internet,in order to have it, as it specifies. Thanks
If you don't have the AC3 plugin, you can't import AC3 into TDA. You can import mp2 (which ffmpeggui will also do).
How will the quality of mp3 sound vs ac3? What other programs might you suggest that will work for me as far as the authoring part, that have ac3 as a option or will accept an ac3 file being imported into it?
mp2 and ac3 are the same quality, at the same bitrate. mp2 may be a slightly larger file. If you want to use AC3, DVDLab will handle it.
