MeGUI - Audio encoding problem? Need Help

[Appu]

I already posted this question once in this thread MeGUI : GenaraL questions and trouble shooting. Didn't get any proper answer, and looks like the question got burried there!. Hence this post.


I have got a camcoder footage (avi format ) of about 30 min duration. Video is DV and audio is PCM. Used MeGUI for onverting the DV into H.264 video. No issue with video encoding.
But I couldn't do the audio encoding properly. I want to create AAC audio. Used the same avi file as audio input. Selected Nero AAC encoder. Everything went fine and the output file got generated. But the file is not playable with any of the players. The players didn't show any error but the no audio output. Tried with all the AAC and even mp3 also. Same result!.


Tried one more thing. Demuxed the audio part as WAVE PCM using AVImuxer. The demuxed file plays properly. But when I tried to encode this file into AAC or mp3 using meGUI same problem appears. Initially didn't use any AVS script. I gave the AVI file direclty as audio input. Then tried with avs script also ( with audio=True )...

Need help.............

do you have an AAC decoder installed? Can you post a small test AAC encode up online somewhere?

Well looks like this is independent of the codec. The problem happens even for Mp3 codec. I do have Nero AAC installed.

I have neroaacenc , encaacplus, faac and lame under meGUI tools.

If still needed I will upload the clip..

does the avs file play properly? Try loading via this avisynth command: directshowsource("path\to\file.avi",video=false)

Just tried that. The AVS file properly, and I can hear the audio. As I mentioned earlier the demuxed audio file ( Wave PCM ) plays properly. No issue with the input stream.

what happens if you use the script to endoe from?

The encoding goes fine, the output file get generated, winamp plays it , but can't hear any sound!. Happens for AAC and Mp3 encoding.

try encoding the stream with another program.

Yes.. That option is always with me. What I want to figure out is what is going wrong with MeGUI audio encoding.

hmm, so other programs work, but megui fails? It's time to post a bug report onto the megui sourceforge tracker :)

Got rid of the problem by using command line utilities for encoding ( lame and facc ) that comes with the meGUI . The enocded files plays properly now.

Still couldn't make the application work the meGUI:confused:
