Issues with audio processing in D2S from an analogue avi

Good morning. A friend gave me a sample .avi (640Mb) that lasts approx. 1.5 Mins that he read in from video through a DC10 plus. He wanted me to try to get a successful encode out of it as he wasn't having much luck (quality issues etc.). I have tried putting it through D2S with what I think are the appropriate setting for AVI2SVCD, However, BBMpeg Gets stuck, saying that it can't find an .mp2 audio file which is true as there has been a .wav extracted from the .avi but it hasn't been converted ? If I run the process again UNticking 'Downsample audio 48 -> 44' then for some reason I DO get an mp2 file but when it gets to the VCDXBuild stage the log file has warnings the the audio has not been downsampled and the resulting .cue/bin image that I have contains good looking video but with no audio? Can anyone help? Cheers Equilibrium

I don't know if it will work for you, but whenever I have a difficult AVI I always run it through Vdub and it seems to make it work 9/10 times. Most times I can just use Direct Stream copy on the video drop down and then just save it as an AVI as a different name. Sometimes I have to go much further and basically demux and remux it. Mark

use the following commandline : C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input D:\Movie\Extracted_audio_1.wav -output D:\Movie\Encoded_audio_1.mp2 -logfile D:\Movie\Encoded_audio_1.log ) -ota( -g max ) -shibatch( --rate 44100 ) -2lame( -e -b 192 -m s )
