BeSweet Stream errors on DVD's w/ MPEG1 Audio

[DigitalMarine]

Converting very early DVD's with only one MPEG1 Audio Stream causing problems on BeSweet 1.5b1. The Audio Stream is about 10 minutes shorter than the entire Movie.

BeSweet is called by DVD2SVCD.

There are no problems with current DVD's which have AC3 and/or DTS Audio Streams.

Any Idea?

very interesting ! please cut a piece of about 1mb of that mpa file and attach in here, so i can analyze it.

[DigitalMarine]

1 minute of extracted mpa file "Die Klapperschlange (Escape form New York)". Interesting that the MPA File has the correct lenght (94:29 Min) but sounds strange. The encoded MP2 File is 85:44 Min only.

I'm to stupid to upload more than 200k here so I put it on my webspace
MPA (www.fensterbild.de/audio/demo01.mpa)
ZIP (www.fensterbild.de/audio/demo.zip)

System:
Athlon XP 1700+
VIA KT266A Chipset
512MB RAM
W2K SP3

your sample works fine for me (single mpa sync error). i don't remember changing any relevant thing between v1.5b1 to v1.5b6, but maybe you should try downloading beta6.

Hello Digitalmarine! I´am one of the few persons, who have the same problem. I searched the Forum for hours, but I did not find a solution. This error occurs only, when BSweet tries to convert Mpeg1-Audiostreams. AC3-Streams work very fine. Amastris

[DSPguru]

try your luck with latest beta (http://besweet.notrace.dk/beta.html) and post your logfile.

Hi DSPguru,

don't know what You or the guy who made DVD2SVCD have changed but the combination of D2S 1.1.0 build 1b and BeSweet v1.5b8 seems to work now.

That's what a BeSweet Log should look like :D

Notice the difference at Overall Track Gain.

I can´t believe it! The new versions do a good job! Thank you very much! Great work!
