Thank you for your quick reply. To use the labels instead is what is wanted to try next.

But I wonder what is the edit title textbox is good for?
You extract the original titlename from the filename so you can 100% sure it is valid. So it would be good it AVStoDVD would use the original title internally for temp files and so on and the edited name for the label. Or you change the behaviour of the textbox to read-only, because who would need a titlename that has to be changed a second time for the label...

@MrC..Sorry one more time..I am trying to understand and learn..You suggested Muxman refuse to retain audio track. I used tool with two .mkv files. Boths files had DTS 6.1. File1 is success and file2 is half the size of actual .mkv file and no audio.

Hi Mrc,

Related to last issue, i take out the subtitles and everything is okay for the conversion. I was only had that subtitle, no srt. I can even convert it, look like they are corrupted.

THanks :--)

@ggtop

I will think about that

@shreeit

in project #2, force DTS track encoding to AC3: go to 'Edit Title'/'Audio', toggle off 'Auto Audio Setup' and 'Keep DVD-compliant audio'.

@8ternity

you are welcome



Bye

@MrC. I uncheck 'Keep DVD-compliant audio' from preference/audio menu. Can't find go to 'Edit Title'/'Audio', toggle off 'Auto Audio Setup'


I noticed I got warning/error by ffmeg.exe

Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_s161e, 48000 Hz, 6 channels, s16 4608 kb/s
Incompatible sample format 's16' for codec 'ac3', autoselecting format 'flt' [ac3 @07c097e0] No channel layout specified. The encoder will guess the layout, but might be incorrect

Right click on the source title, click on 'Edit Title', select 'Audio' tab, toggle off 'Auto Audio Setup', toggle off 'Keep DVD compliant audio'. C'mon just be a little more intrepid when you wander within AVStoDVD GUI

Do not worry, leave ffmpeg follow its path.

Hi, small remark:

I was trying to get a DVB recording to DVD. I pulled it through ProjectX to remove any errors first. It gave me a m2v and a mp2 file which I threw at AVStoDVD. But on authoring I kept getting the following error:

Code:
"Warning! Errors found during Title 1 Audio Track 1 encoding. Do you want to start Backup Audio encoding routine (FFmpeg based)? [YES/NO]"
To be clear this happened when AVStoDVD tried to do an audio stream copy (ffmpeg "-acodec copy" parameter). I went to investigate and it turns out that the error is caused by the fact that my source audio file has the word "error" in its path.

I assume this behavior is intentional, but it can have side-effects, like in my case where I wanted to keep original audio quality but the audio stream was encoded. Maybe this behavior can be smartened a bit so there's no unnecessary encoding when a stream copy can be done. Maybe the warning could be clearer too; I didn't know that by pressing YES I was choosing for an encode instead of a stream copy.

Hi MrC,

I have the same problem as Whiskey. I think the problem is a typing error in the SubtitleCreator parameters AVStoDVD provides. See, there's no space between the "-i" and the IFO path parameter!

Code:
SubtitleCreator Parameters: "C:\DVD\DVD_0_Clash.Of.Empires.Battle.For.Asia.srt" -p4 -i"C:\Program Files (x86)\AVStoDVD\SubtitleCreator\Examples\VTS_01_1.IFO"

That's exactly how SubtitleCreator works

As you can see, it uses the BACKUP audio encoding routine after a stream copy fails. I suspect the cause is the word "ERROR" in the mp2's path (I know, it's weird, please read on).

Now below the exact same project, only now I renamed 1 character in the source folder:

The BBC One Sessions - Amy Winehouse_NO_DVB_ERRXRS
instead of
The BBC One Sessions - Amy Winehouse_NO_DVB_ERRORS

And now the audio stream copy succeeds! The log:

Could you take a look at one of the above logs which also demonstrates the srt problem? It seems to create the .sup files in both cases just fine though. I checked them with SubtitleCreator.

I can provide you with temporary files for both cases above if you want. Thank you!

Yep, there's a bug in the ffmpeg log parsing routine: currently if there is the word "error" in the log file, whatever position, then the audio demuxing step is considered failed. Just have to fix it. Thanks for the bug report.

What does SubtitleCreator say when you load your srt with it? Any errors messages? If not, please send me the srt file (avstodvd@gmail.com).

No errors. I don't know what exactly goes wrong, because a perfectly good .sup file seems to be created during the AVStoDVD process. I can take the sup file AVStoDVD just generated (but gave me an error on), put it in the same AVStoDVD project instead of the srt and the whole authoring process goes without a hitch. So the sup generating in itself doesn't seem to be faulty.

You've got mail.

The (fake) error is probably due to the 'DVD Asset Path' and 'Temp Files Path' having the same value in your Preferences. It is obviously a bug to be fixed but, as workaround, you can give different paths to these 2 variables.

Hi mrc,

Did you had instruction regarding custom dvd menu templates (background, button, etc.) to customisez a dvd menu in default? I want to check for creating a theme menu, starting to play with that to create one menu for testing.

@8ternity

you can start having a look at the 'Templates - Readme.txt' file under '\AVStoDVD\Menu\Templates' folder. Then you can download some custom templates from here and get some hints.

I hope you will share your creations with us.

Thanks in advance



Bye

Just an info

Hi all,

right now I'm converting some dozens DV tapes to DVD and always wondered why the preview doesn't work although the final DVD / encoded file works fine.
My setup is Windows 7 64bit, Cedocida DV codec installed, AVS Source Filter: AviSource().

I did some research and found that I have to use all involved components in the same "environment". Because I have 32bit Avisynth installed it loads the 32bit cedocida VfW codec with AviSource() enabled, I also have to use 32bit MPC-HC for preview. And that was the culprit, because my default preview player path pointed to the 64bit version. After installing the 32bit version in parallel and changing the path everything works fine.
