I'm a bit of a newbie,and i've been trying to encode aac 5.1 to ac3 5.1 in a blu-ray rip i,ve done so i can play it back on my ps3.Because the ps3 will only downscale acc 5.1 to stereo.
So i came across megui and i thought this is the prog to do it.But to my dismay all i can get out of it when i click go is "fatal error the path is not a legal form".So i tried it on my second pc and same alert comes up.
Both pc's are Windows 7 32 bit.Does anyone have a fix for this?I encoded the original file with ripbot to mp4.
Thanks in advance.:confused:

you are trying to encode audio and the script says "audio=false ", for audio use another script and switch to "video=false" and try again .

According to the screenshot, his input for audio is the video file itself.

OP can try extracting the audio stream from the .mp4 using YAMB, then using it as an input.

it's not usually a good idea to have the video output file named the same as the video input file is it?

Thanks for everyones input.But i've discovered i can encode a blu-ray rip with ripbot and use the AVCHD format and select ac3 5.1 and the encoded result is perfect,with the ps3 sending out dolby digital 5.1 through my audio reciever.
Wonder why ripbot does'nt have the ac3 5.1 option when choosing the mp4 option?Which i would have preferred.
So even if i could get megui to work i don't need to use it now.
