Hi guys, Im having a problem with the audio on a DVD2svcd conversion.
The source dvd is a region all the quality is off an svcd nature, ie i highly suspect the film
was a high quality telesync which has been recompiled into a dvd-compliant structure.
The sound is of reasonable quality, albeit a little echoey and distant on the original.
The problem with the finished svcd is that it sounds like everything is under water, almost like playing a 45rpm record at
33rpm, Now would it be the audio downsample which caused this?
Is it possible to alter the besweet settings or can i do the audio extraction and encoding outside of the main program.
Oh while we're on the subject normally i use 99min cdrs and aim for a 975mb size i seem unable to use 224kps as the program will warn that im over the specified bitrate limit 27XXkps.Any ideas as
i notice that besweet reports 192kps as an illegal audio bitrate and may be the cause of my cce crashes. However i must say the latest release 1.08.1 is the most stable yet with cce2.50.
Firstly the audio logfile
