Can't get DGIndex to demux to WAV

[Dr.Khron]

I've never been able to get DGIndex to properly demux a track as a WAV. Demuxing as AC3 works just fine.

When you try to demux as WAV, you get a WAV file that won't play on anything. Curiously, I ran the AC3 through BeSweet to turn it into a WAV file, and the file it produced was the same size as the corrupted WAV file from DGIndex!

Something wrong with the surround sound downmix, maybe?

just for more info: what release of dgindex ?

could you also post a sample of input file... just to replicate ?

Version is 1.4.8

You mean a piece of the Vob?
I dunno if that will do any good, I've never been able to get the Demux to WAV to work, even before this project. Same problem.

Maybe I've got decoder issues? I tried MPC with FFDShow (CCCP), and Winamp, neither could play the WAV file.

I've used the Demux to WAV option (v1.4.6 - v1.4.8) quite often as I'm too lazy to process video and audio separately. I haven't experienced any problems so far. I haven't tried playing the actual demuxed WAV, but I always get sound using my Template.avs
video = mpeg2source("__vid__")
audio = wavsource("__aud__").amplify(5)
audiodub(video,audio)Have you tried playing the WAV file with VLC? That, I think, does not require external codecs.

[Dr.Khron]

Aha, good suggestion!
VLC plays the file just fine. However, MPC gives me this error:

"The following pins failed to find a connectable filter:"

Windows Media Player says that the file is corrupt, and WinAmp says nothing, it just doesn't play.

MediaInfo says that its PCM:
1536 Kbps, 48 KHz, 2 Channels, PCM

So, obviously I'm having some kind of codec issue... maybe FFDShow is conflicting with my Creative sound card drivers?

I went into the Codec settings for the FFDShow audio decoder, and tried switching almost ever codec on and off.. and nothing worked. I can't get MPC to play it.

Of course, the goal isn't to play it in MPC, but to get MeGUI to read it properly so I can transcode it to AAC.

Any suggestions?

Hi!

Load it into GoldWave, or similar, and resave as PCM WAV...

[Dr.Khron]

Ah, screw it. I'll just demux the AC3, and transcode directly from that. Much simpler.

Thanks to everyone who replied.

Surely it gives you some more information after that? :)
