No sound in .mp2 file after BeSweet conversion

[StoneMan]

I have this very strange issue - when trying to encode an .avi using DVD2SVCD the resulting .mpg ends up w/o any sound.
I found that the reason for this is that the .mp2 file resulting from BeSweet has no sound although both the .avi as well as the .wav has.
I've scanned through the forums and found several similar posts - but none with a conclusive answer (most were to use the latest version of BeSweet which i already am).
One curious thing i noticed during the BeSweet conversion phase (in the CMD-window) is, that during the gain search is looks like the max. gain detected is 0.0 dB ??!!

I use WinXP with 512 MB RAM, AthlonXP 2000+ .....

At the end I attached the DVD2SVCD as well as the BeSweet logs (pls note that I ended the DVD2SVCD process during the CCE conversion part ...).

I hope that someone can help ..... thanx :)

use the following commandline :

C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\Extracted_audio_1.wav -output C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\Movie\Encoded_audio_1.mp2 -logfile C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\Movie\Encoded_audio_1.log ) -2lame( -e -b 224 -m s )

Thanx - this worked !!
BUT - as DVD2SVCD creates the commandline for the BeSweet conversion .... is there then a bug in DVD2SVCD ?
I mean - it seems a bit out of the idea to have an automated interface for conversions when you have to make it "manually" after all :confused:

[music]

ive been havin the same problem .....how do u add that to the command line?

[music]

where s everyone? how can i install that commandline...where please i need help desperately!!

[StoneMan]

You can only run this in a cmd-box ......
Thats why I ask - does DVD2SVCD have a bug ???

[music]

k..thanks stoneman...but what should i do?

[LdSr]

You just run the command in the Run box in Window's Start Menu.
A new audio file will be encoded for you. In DVD2SVCD, you have to recover at muxing and cutting. It will use your current already encoded video file and mux it with your new audio file.

NOTE: Your video file is not in standard framerate. Therefore, your video and audio will be out of sync. Besweet doesn't support some audio framerate conversion, hence your no audio file. To fix this, check out: www.vcdhelp.com (http://) .

Hope that helps.

You could also try unchecking the azid auto detect (?) box under the d2s audio tab.

This worked for me when i was getting no sound in my mp2 files.
