ringing sound after tmpgenc encode

[LiNUXG33K]

Hi -

I am ripping a DVD to SVCD. The final product looks and sounds fine, but there is a faint (ringing) sound in the backgroud. The ringing sound does NOT show up on the Original DVD or on the ripped VOB files or on the *.wav file after going through DVD2AVI. The ringing only shows up in the final *.MPG after going through TMPGenc. I have not had this problem ever before and I do alot of DVD rips.

I hope this is the correct forum, since I believe it to be a tmpgenc issue ?

What could be causing this sound ?? Here is my ripping info:

Ripper = SmartRipper
Convertion = DVD2AVI
Encoder = TMPGenc
TMPGend settings are Super Video-CD PAL (MPEG-2 480x576 25fps 2-PASS VBR 2520kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps) NO filters except for DE-Interlacing set to double.

Thanks for any thoughts on this !

Are you, by chance, using TMPG's built in audio functions to downsample your audio from 48khz to 44.1khz? Doing so caused ringing for me.

Use SSRC as external downsampler, and tooLame as external MP2 encoder. You can set that in TMPGEnc's Environmental Options.
