you dont mux audio and video with CCE, you use an authoring program for that and why did you extract AC3 to wav back to AC3...why not just keep it AC3, it'll save time and quality.

No... i follwed one of the CCE guide on the doom9 site. It said to extract the ac3 from the avi to wav. they use Besliced to "fix" it back to ac3. no idea why, but the guide said that was the "proper" way to extacrt ac3 file. OK now i hav a mpg and a ac3. where does the ac3 go? i am using a author prog called TMPG AUTHOR. Do i right click on the mpeg and click add audio? and sleect the ac3 file? i tried but it gives me an error that the ac3 file is a unknown/invalid type.
someone help me!

hmm...well first of all...you don't have to convert ac3 to wave back to ac3 - thats just wasting time and quality - using BeSweet/Besliced isn't suggested for ac3 encodes because it isn't dolby licensed and playback on certain settop players may be effected, if playable at all. perhaps your ac3 file is damaged via the use of besweet, have you tried using the original ac3 file? if not i suggest you do so.

can you post a link to that tutorial, id like to see it.

Sorry cant find link, doom9 in under frames. so i copy paste info.


"In the audio format section you'll find out what kind of audio we have. As you can see this AVI file contains a full fledged 5.1ch AC3 and it would be a shame to touch it.

So in this case we're going to keep the audio as it is. All we have to do is properly extract it.
Extract AC3 audio from an AVI

Start up Nandub, press Control-O to load the AVI file, then set audio to direct stream copy.

Now select File - Save WAV.

Select a name, then press OK to start the extraction.

Now we're not quite done yet. The AC3 file we've just extracted contains a WAV header so any AC3 processing application would complain that the file is invalid. In order to fix that you have to run BeSliced, drag&drop the file onto the small BeSliced window and select Fix File! from the menu that will show up.

BeSliced will create a new AC3 file called audio_Fixed01.ac3 (if the original file is called audio.ac3) and that's the file all programs should be able to process.

what is your source? avi? DVD?

Read Doom9's guide on making SVCD's with CCE. Just load the .mpv and ac3 files into bbMPEG, and mux them together.

Are you making DVD's? If so, there is nothing you need to do to the ac3 audio other than extract it and then add it back in when you author your new disk. It plays fine on the original disk...why would you need to alter it? I make DVD's all the time and the only thing I ever have to do is add some delay sometimes to get it in sync with the video.
