PCM Audio Not Supported

[vipin]

Hi,

Your homepage shows that this program supports

"AC3, DTS, PCM, MPA input audio tracks"

but unfortunately for me PCM audio was not supported. I was trying to convert this file to avi:--

Video: MPEG2 Video 720x480 (4:3) 29.97fps 7800Kbps [Video]
Audio: PCM 48000Hz stereo 1536Kbps [Audio]
Subtitle: DVD Subpicture [Subtitle]

but all I got was AVI file without any sound. I was trying to use MP3 Audio.

AutoGK is a great software and I have never seen this program getting failed but this time it couldn't convert.

Please help.

thanx
vipin

Another solution : try with the ac3 file

[manono]

What makes you think there is an AC3 file?

If AutoGK doesn't work with your PCM WAV file (is there a log that confirms what you say?), I'd convert the PCM WAV to MP3 myself, and then mux it into the finished AVI.

[vipin]

I have found the solution.

Actually it was .m2v file, AutoGK opened the file and even converted it but there was not audio.

But since it was actually a DVD Video file so I renamed it to .VOB file and it worked!

So it was just file renaming.

AutoGK recognised .m2v extension but couldn't recognise the audio in it (dunno why) but .vob worked fine.

thanx
vipin

Why did you rip it as an M2V instead of a VOB?

[setarip_old]

@vipin

Hi!AutoGK recognised .m2v extension but couldn't recognise the audio in it (dunno why) but .vob worked fine.Probably because an ".M2V" extender is indicative of a video(only) stream...

[vipin]

thanx everyone, problem solved.

[Guest]

vipin,

Why did you rip it as an M2V instead of a VOB?

[vipin]

I thought converting to formats like MKV or M2V provides good quality, these days a lot of sites offer videos in these two formats suggesting that they are Blu-Ray formats providing very high quality. Actually I had only renamed it, didn't convert it actually so that's why the problem occurred.
thanx

[manono]

It suggests no such thing. If your source was a VOB (before you renamed it) it has nothing to do with Blu-Ray. Renaming it as M2V doesn't make it Blu-Ray.
Actually I had only renamed it, didn't convert it actually so that's why the problem occurred.
As setarip_old said, an M2V is a video-only elementary stream and there's no reason at all that AutoGK should look for audio within it. So this whole thread is pointless, you're the cause of your own problems, and your accusation against AutoGK that it doesn't really support WAV audio is completely unfounded.

If m2v is really Video only stream, then why Media Player Classic, VLC Media Player support audio inside it???? There are other commercial software's available like ImToo that were able to do the job. And freeware softwares likes SUPER that recognised the audio inside it...

I was just surprised why AutoGK couldn't recognise it, and I am not framing any charge against AutoGK, I love this software, I was just curious to know why it happened and nothing else.

[setarip_old]

Some programs simply accept the extender as being accurate and deal with the file accordingly. Other programs read header information from the file and use that to determine what the actual file format is...

It has nothing to do with "support." I can take any video file that can be played in MPC, change the extension to anything I want, and still play it in MPC. I can even change it to .dll and still drag-and-drop it onto MPC, and a .dll file is hardly a known video format.

As manono said, AutoGK made the assumption that you had a valid .m2v (Video only) file and didn't bother looking for audio channels.

@vipin

Your story about ripping a DVD and renaming the VOB to M2V because you thought that would make it blu-ray is implausible. And "Shania Twain Ka-Ching!.m2v" is a torrent download.

Struck for rule 6.
