coverting mp2 to m2a

[cathrin]

Hi all,

I couldn't find a solution to my problem in the forum.
I have a svcd file. I splitted audio and video stream, patched the m2v file and then I resampled the mp2 file to 48kHz.
For some reason the resampling didn't word with TMPGEnc (no sound) but it worked with BeSweet.

I'm using Maestro because it seems to be the only multilanguage authoring tool.
Obviously I can't import a mp2 file into maestro. Some told me just to change the extension of the file to m2a. But that just doesn't work. (Media detection error or something like that)

Is there a mp2 to m2a converter available?

Thanks for your help

Cathrin,

DVDMaestro accepts Mpeg 1 Layer 2 audio assets with a sample rate of 48KHz and a file extension of *.mpa

So you should be in business. A mp2 file is the same as a mpa file. Internally there is no difference so renaming should be ok. If Maestro still complains then i would have to say that the file is not valid. What does WMP do? If Maestro has problems then MP will usually have problems too.

I've just re-read my reply..... Just try renaming the file to *.mpa !!

Hi ChrissyBoy,

I played the resampled mp2 file with winamp and BMP Studio - no problems. I played it with WMP and the program crashed. After I renamed to mpa it stayed the same. Winamp and BMP Studio are playing the file without problems, WMP crashed. And Maestro brings the media detection error. hmmmm

Maybe I should resample the audio stream with yet another program. I already tried TMPGenc and BeSweet. Are there other resampling tools?
