Oh, yes. That option is what is ticked.
btw, I tried various ways to do the re-encode with and without the
wizard and following several tuts on this found on the net. None of
them covered what to do when no audio was produced, however, but I
went through the motions anyway. As I mentioned, the audio flatlines
in the "Source Range" window so TMPGEnc isn't picking up on the audio
somehow.
My EO Video is what I turned to whenever this frequent problem in
TMPGEnc Plus happens but I have been having trouble in this new
install of EO. When pressing convert, a video preview window keeps
coming up 9 times out of 10 which aborts the conversion once it starts
in on the audio (this window is something EO never did before and I
didn't set it to do that). After many, many tries, finally that
window didn't come up one time and so EO could start and complete the
re-encode. So I do now have a VCD-compliant MPG ready to burn with no
problems in the audio.
But it would be nice to have TMPGEnc work all the time and to know
what to do when this frequent lack of audio problem happens. I find
TMPGEnc converts in much less time than EO, sometimes up to 2 hours
less. So I just did another small test with TMPGEnc and looked to see
if anything might stand out to me this time around, but nothing. I
still can't see where the problem might lie. Yes the "System
(Video+Audio) ..." is what is ticked selected. That one must admit
was pretty obvious right from the beginning <lol>.
