AC3 to MP3 not complete

[Macarse]

I am trying to encode an ac3 to mp3.

I do that with BeSweet.

But the problem is that the ac3 is 1:15:23 long and mp3 is just 0:18:45.

I used Besplit to fix the file but it stops checking it at that time.

Is there any other way to fix the ac3?


Thanks.

Try AC3fix (http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=559&s=320).

Delaycut could help, depending on problem or source: http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/audiotools.htm

Can AC3Fix do this?

[Macarse]

Nope, I continue getting a 0:18:45 mp3 file.
Don't know what else to try :(

What does your BeSweet logfile say? Can you post it here?

E33: Illegal symmetric 7-level value =7 => What about this.

[Macarse]

Here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98689&highlight=Illegal+symmetric+7-level+value+%3D7) Someone said to transcode to wav first. I will check that.

@Macarse

Hi!

Can you successfully play the .AC3 file, from start to finish, without any glitches?

[Macarse]

It worked out. When something like this shows up, just transcode to wav and then to mp3.

setarip_old: I didn't try... I play it and I can get to the end. But I didn't listen to the whole file.

Problem solved :D

Maybe you whant to encode that file with BeHappy or MeGUI.
