Authoring DVD with two audio streams?

Post by FotherMucker99 »

Hey there!

I've got a show here which I authored in TMPGEnc 4.6.3.267 XPress to a DVD standard mpeg file.

After authoring it I'm dropping it into DVD Lab Pro 2 and demultiplexing it!

Now I've got a *.mpv file and a *.pcm file.

Deleting the *.pcm file as I have the *.wav files I need already.

Adding the *.mpv file and both *.wav files into DVD Lab Pro 2.

After I've finished work on the menus I compile the DVD, but the video does not work.

When I click on "Play" from the menu the first 4 seconds work fine, but after the first 4 seconds there's no video, only audio.

Also some of the chapters don't start correctly, not all, but just a few :wtf:

Here's the log from DVD Lab Pro 2:

hi i never used that program but it is not good to use so many different programs when you mix and match things do not go smoothly try vegas video 7 or 8 it can do everything you want to do all in one.

check out this link i am still checking for more info for you.

What's the bitrate of the file? Maybe DVD Lab has a problem with the high bitrate.
I didn't understood the part with DVD compliant. You had the show on DVD, then you re-encoded it?

Try with one stream. If it works with one stream, then it's the bitrate.
For a DVD with 2 LPCM audio streams I think the bitrate should be around 6000.

alrighty, works just fine with one audio stream, guess I'll have to reauthor the video to 6 mb/s.

thanks for the help clovnul, much appreciated!

the video worked for a 2 or 3 minutes, then it was black again.

Guess I have to author it with 5 mb/s instead.

The bitrate is not a standard dvd. The 10080kbps is the maximum bitrate for the multiplexed VOB stream.
And the 9800kbps is the maximum bitrate for all elementary streams together (means. bitrate of video file + bitrate of audio file etc. = max. 9800kbps. When you multiplex them the final file gets a bit bigger, hence the difference to 10080kbps for the final, muxed stream).

Two pcm files on one dvd usually dont work. Is there a reason that you need two audio-sources?

I think a LPCM stream and another one with AC3 at 448 kbit/s is more then enough.

LE: How do you do your VBR encoding? 6000 kbps as an average or as a maximum bitrate?
