Sound probs on DVD encode

I had the same problem, as TMPGENC is not very good with audio encoding. I used to use besweet, but that involved demuxing re-encoding and then remuxing with a possible loss of sync. What I have come up with as being the best method now, is using toolame and ssrc as external encoders to tmpgenc (its under one of the menus, but I cant remember which one at the moment) ssrc is by far the best sample rate converter and toolame works well as an mp1 layer 2 audio encoder.

Jim, I also use Tmpg with lame and ssrc. Im encoding a dvd rip that is 3 hours long so I cut the movie into three pieces and did a batch encoding. The first file is fine but when it gets to the second file, either tool lame or ssrc (cant remember which) causes an error in Winxp and it stops working until I click it. Each of these files is about an hour long. I tried it last night by batch encoding three very short files (2 minutes long) and it moved from file to file without a hitch. I like doing it like this because it elminates cutting the file when you encode one big long file. Have you ever had this problem or might know what is wrong? Thanks in advance. Catman

Catman, I have seen both ssrc and toolame crash at various points in the encode. for this reason I dont do editing in TMPGENC, just whole files (or virtual whole files using a frameserver). This has cut down any problems I have had in the past to zero. Oh and I use win2k, so I don't think it's just you, or XP specific problem you are experiencing. Jim

Thanks for the reply. Appreciated. Catman
