View Full Version : Weird one this (DVD2SVCD)

I have an AVI (divx4/lame mp3) film that I am converting for DVD authoring, using the latest AVI(DVD)2SVCD.

I have done this process many times before, and as usual, I checked the resulting files before inputing them into my authoring program.

The weird thing is, the resulting sound plays back distorted,at a much lower pitch ( females sound like baritones, men like robots etc). I have tried allsorts and seem to have narrowed it down to a besweet fault.

If i do the same file in TmpGenc i get good sound results, but as usual, video cannot compete with using CCE in DVD2SVCD, but just as an elimination thing, if i select to use TmpGenc as the encoder in DVD2SVCD i get the same sound problem (but in this instance DVD2SVCD only uses TmpGenc for video encoding only, not audio - so audio conversion still done by DVD2SVCD) therefor it would seem that the sound problem is deffo with DVD2SVCD.

I have DVD2SVCD set up the same as it always is ( as per the Doom9 AVI2DVD guide) so it is not a settings issue.

I am using CCE 2.66 (have tried 2.50).



So in summary.....

DVD2SVCD using CCE 2.50/2.66 - distorted sound
DVD2SVCD using TmgGenc - distorted sound
Tmgenc (native audio) - good audio (but not happy with video)

I do not want to go back to using TmpGenc ( as I suffer from the NTSC to PAL jerkiness problems with it) so can anyone help me with any DVD2SVCD audio conversion suggestions please?

It sounds like that something is going on when you convert the frame rate of the audio. Sometimes you can use the BeSweet gui to make the correct changes. I am pretty sure that this has been discussed in this forum.
