Still Having Audio Problems!!!!

[CCoug83]

I can't seem to get around this problem! When enoding movies with the new encryption method, it has an audio encoding problem and resulting in a filesize of like 3MB! I cut out the blank cells using DVD2AVI, but then I have the weird audio problem. The log is as follows.

Please help me as soon as possible. This problem has been nagging me forever in trying to do The Forgotten, The Grudge, and Little Black Book. For some reason I did not have this problem with Resident Evil. I've also tried this with the newest versions of Autogk with the same result.

However, I've also noticed in the newest versions that when you press escape in the DVD2AVI process, it automatically closes it and moves on to the next step whereas before it stayed in DVD2AVI so you could edit it. That was so helpful to me! Can you change the coding back so it won't do close DVD2AVI when you press escape?

The amount of exclamation marks you're using in the topic description will NOT make us help you any faster (in fact the reverse is true). Please refrain from using them.

Anyway, I can't help you. If you have problems demuxing audio even manually from DGIndex for a given source then you should report it in
the DGIndex forum.

P.S. Behaviour of DGIndex is changed, so it will be no longer possible to stop its operation when starting from CLI. You have to use version 1.0.12 for that.

[chilled]

notice you are using 1.60. try updating to latest beta 1.89

[CCoug83]

Sorry for the excessive use of exclamation marks, I've just been a bit frustrated with this problem. The audio muxing problem doesn't appear to have to do with the DGI Index portion. That part of the process finishes just fine and then when encoding the audio it displays a bunch of problems in besweet and the new program, then moves to the next step.

Also I have tried using the newest version of AutoGK with the same result. I thought it might be a problem with the newer versions so I downgraded back to the last stable release to see if I still had the problem.

The fact that demuxing successfuly finishes means nothing as that step clearly produces broken audio stream (otherwise there wouldn't be any errors during audio encoding). So its either DVDDecrypter's problem or DGIndex's and I cannot do anything about it.

P.S. I have Resident Evil 2 coming next week and The Grudge a week or two later, so at least I will have a chance to see what's this fuss all about.

[CCoug83]

Thanks Lenox. I'll try to see if I can experiment and fix the problem in DGI Index. I'll downgrade to the older version so it won't close on me and I can edit out those stupid blank cells. Let me know how your rips of Resident Evil 2 and The Grudge turn out.

Using the same version of DGI Index in GK it appears to work. How interesting.

What do you mean? Is audio produced during AutoGK job not the same as manually demuxed in DGIndex?

The more I think about it the more it seems that its decrypting stage problem. Have a look here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=87774 . So to gain audio synch back you need hidden sells to be removed during decrypting step.
