VERY bad audio with TMPGEnc from a PVA file

[SuperFresko]

Hello everybody!

With my new satellite recording card, I "saved" an episode of a series I like.

So, I have this big MPEG2 file that I want to convert with TMPGEnc in a DVD compliant file, in order to author it and burn it on a DVD-R.

Problem is, if I try to convert the file with TMPGEnc, the resulting file, even though it is DVD compliant, and even though the video is ok, has _VERY_ bad audio.

Anybody knows why TMPGEnc behaves like this?

Then I tried this way:
- Extract the audio with DVD2AVI (.mpa file)
- Convert the .mpa audio file in a .wav file (with WinAMP)
- Use the .d2v as video source and the .wav as audio source forTMPGEnc

The resulting file has perfect audio (and obviously, video).

Problem is, sometimes the audio extracted with DVD2AVI is slightly delayed. How can I sync it?

Thanks for any help.

Bye,
Massi.

As you said, the audio is allready in a DVD compliant format (i allways get MPEG1(Layer2) 192kbits@48kHz). So there is no need to reencode it once more.
To keep it sync. hmm... I do it this way:
Recording as PVA!
Cutting it with PVACut and demuxing it with PVAStrumento.
PVAStrumento will correct an audio delay automatically.
Reencode only the video (the audio will never be touched).

I dunno if PVAStrumento will proper work with mpg files.

It does work with mpeg2 streams without any problems. So you should record to pva but you dont have to. Simply demux the stream into mp2 and m2v, the errors are fixed, reencode with cce or TMPEG - everything should be in sync - hopefully :D

Have you tried to not reencode the video too? I have made several DVD's without touching the video or the audio. Just demux with PVAstrumento and then author a DVD directly.
