Newbie DivX->VCD audio problems

[gurre]

Here is my sitution:
Successfully ripped a part of a DVD, used DVD2AVI and got the .d2v file an the .AC3 file. Didn´t realy know where to mark in the audio section but chosed "1x ac3". Selected the .ac3 file in the DivX4 tab, selected .mp3 sound and, run the job. Ended up whith a pretty good file whith audio and subs. Perfect!
Looking at the .avi-file properties shows that audio is 112kBit/s.

The problem is when I try to convert it to VCD whith TMPGEngc. The audio disapears.

Another try with DVD2AVI but selected decode in audio menu getting a .wav audio file instead. Selected "Just Mux." on the DivX4 tab. Ran it all again.
Now looking at the .avi-file properties shows that audio is 1536kBit/s.
Convertion to VCD was OK, with audio.

Problem here is that the .wav file got very large. And it seems to me that audio at that rate will take up to much of the file size.

So how do I make it the right way?

Please try to answer so that even I can understand it.

Thanx

This post is in the wrong forum. Read Doom9's guide AC3 to MP2, which tells you how to extract the audio, then encode it into mp2 format, which then can be re-muxed with the video in TMPGEnc.

TMPEG cant open AC3 tracks to my knowledge. You have to use Besweet to transcode it to MP2 and then mux your MPEG video with you mp2 audio, preferably using BBmpeg .... Doom9 Guide is excellent here !!

*ahem* Maybe I have cataracts but I don't see in my post, or remembering when posting, talking about muxing AC3 in TMPEnc.
