I've got a few MPEG2 files coming from a videocamera that I'd like to join as one MPEG2 file.
I tried this with TMPGENC's builtin tools and it works, kind of, but I get no audio.
When I try loading the individual files in TMPGEnc Editor it also says the files has no audio(?) but when I play them in VLC/Mediaplayer etc they do have audio.
I've tried remuxing the files with the tools in TMPGEnc but the audio is still missing.
Anyone experienced this or knows a very good MPEG2 utility?
Big thanks in advance
EDIT: The MPEG2 file has AC3 audio..

How about demuxing audio and video in all clips and then joining audio and video from clips into one video and audio file and then muxing it into one file.

I've already done this.. Kind of.. Demuxing one file and then remuxe the parts together again.. I guess the result would be the same even if I use the other files aswell.(?)

What i meant is demux video and audio from clips so you will have video1, video2, video3, audio1, audio2, audio3.
Then join all of your videos into one file, and same for audio.
Then mux those joined from multiple clips audio and video files together.
I am not sure if it will work. Just an idea to try this

Tmpgenc only joins files with *.mpa/*mp2 audio.
For *.ac3 you need the external ac3 plugin "$$$":confused:
So you payed for a program which does'nt have the most used audio decoder and encoder onboard.
But there are many other muxers floating around which will do this task for free:
Imago Muxer, mplex...
Surely you have to join the video and audio clips to separate streams before you can do this...

It's a shame people have lost knowledge of the cli (command line interface). This is very simple to do with Copy /b because mpeg is a streaming format. Each segment begins with information needed to establish resolution and framerate, although there still may be some decoders which only look at the first segment to set these parameters. Of course, if the files are the same resolution and framerate to begin with, then there will be no problem on even those decoders.
