Can tmpgenc handle an mpeg-2 file that has an AC3 audio stream?
I've extracted a section of a dvd as a .vob file and renamed it with the
extension .mpg. The file plays fine in WinDVD (video and audio are
perfect). But when I try to load that file into tmpgenc, it only accepts it
as the "video" source file. It still wants me to load an audio source file
to go with it.
So .... I tried something else. I know how to demux the mpeg-2 file into
separate video and audio streams. I used Vobrator to do this and ended up
with a .m2v file and a separate .ac3 file. The video stream loads fine into
tmpgenc but when I select the audio AC3 file I get a "cannot open or
unsupported" error message.
Do I need to convert the AC3 file to WAV or some other format for tmpgenc
to be happy? If so, how do I convert AC3 to something tmpgenc can handle?
By the way, I don't have any trouble with tmpgenc if I start with an SVCD
mpeg file. In fact, when I load/browse to an SVCD mpg video file, tmpgenc
automatically selects the same file as the audio source. I assume that's
because it can handle the audio stream in the SVCD video file.
Just trying to figure this out!
Thanks in advance for any help,
