Hah. I was wondering what Besweet was all about. I went to several forums for help and kept noticing everyone talking about a Besweet program that you use with Belight, but figured Besweet was for some other means, so never bothered to install it.
Ok, thanks. Ill give this a shot later on.

Hmmm,
Still having a problem running Belight. I downloaded the same version of Besweet that you have and extracted all the files in the same folder as Belight is in and ran the belight.exe file again.
Program can up, but this time when I pressed start after setting the wav file to AC3, a black window flickers then goes away and the only result is a doc file that says the following......
BeSweet v1.5b29 by DSPguru.

Am I supposed to get some more files or plugins for Belight to actually work?

I think Im needing this GUI file from doom9, because apparently if I click on besweet.exe, it says a downloadable GUI file is needed for besweet, so Ill see if this does the trick.

Well, its still giving me the same result....
Am I supposed to click on belight.exe or besweet.exe???
Im guessing belight.exe, but nothing happens when I press start. Just this document gets created saying the same thing.

Then forget belight/besweet. They can be flaky as you've found out.
Get ffmpeggui and transcode audio in that. It's much easier, faster, and more reliable.
Make sure you're transcoding the .wav you extracted, and not the original audio from the AVI.

Ok, above where you say to go into TMPGEnc and set my settings for my video file......
I dont seem to see that anywhere. Ive opened TMPGEnc 3.0, dvd author, and source creater and cant seem to find that picture above that you pasted up in the forums.
Which TMPGEnc application is it in???

Ok I think I found it. Its under plus 2.5, but I got 3.0 so I ran 2.5 instead.
Seems most of that screen though above that you showed me has most of it grayed out on my computer....

Ok I figured out where I had to go BUT.......
Above when you mentioned (to set video in TMPGenc)
======================================================
On the Settings button, beside Rate Control Mode, set average bitrate to 5666kbps.
On the Advanced tab, set Source Aspect Ratio to 4:3 525line NTSC.
Video Arrange Method: Keep aspect 2
On the Audio tab, set mpeg-1 Audio layer II.
Sampling 48000hz. bitrate 224
====================================================
In the audio tab, everything was grayed out. Couldnt change nothing in this tab.

Yah I was unable to change anything under the audio tab. Its stuck on Liniar PCM. All grayed out.
Well, Im going to see if this works and run both final files through dvd author and see what happens.
Wish me luck......

When i click on next, it gives me an error saying
THE MOVIE IS TOO LONG TO OUTPUT. THE FILE CANNOT EXCEED 3 HOURS (180 MINS) IF AUDIO IS SET TO LINIAR PCM
Well, I know you mentioned to encode video only, but how do you do that? Theres nowhere that I notice where you can set it to just do video only.
And audio tab as I mentioned is grade out, so I cant change it from Liniar to somethin else.
ARRGGH!!!

Click Load, and browse to the tmpgenc\template\extra folder. click on Unlock.mcf
This will free up all your options, and you can now change anything you need, especially to mp2 audio.

Ok, I got another problem. I know Im nearing the finish line, but I think this may be my last obstacle.
After I converted the original AVI file (ES Video Only selected) in TMPGEnc 2.5 to M2V...... (Audio is converted to AC3)
I opened up TMPGEnc DVD Author like you mentioned at the last step to add video and audio files together, I tried to add the M2V Video file to Author and got the following error....
THE VIDEO RESOLUTION 640X272 CANNOT BE USED FOR A STANDARD DVD
Gives me some other video error as well.
I dont know what Im doing wrong now....
Im using TMPGEnc 2.5 to try to convert the file over.

If you got a 640X272 video from TMPGEnc, you didn't set it up the way I showed.
DVD resolution must be 720x480, even if you start with a widescreen AVI, it will be letterboxed in TMPGEnc.
On the advanced tab, set the source as 1:1 (VGA) and video arrange method to "keep aspect ratio 2", then set tmpgenc's front page exactly the way I show in the picture.

Ok, Ill give this a try. I did exactly that, but the thing that irrates me, is everytime I open up TMPGEnc 2.5, that stupid wizard comes up asking me what format to convert the AVI to (ex. dvd PAL, nhc, etc)
If I pick DVD PAL, the black dot on the front page changes from ES (Video only) to Video/Audio, so it defaults to convert both the audio and video. I dont know why.
So I close out the pop up wizard screen that gets me to the screen I need to be on to change the settings in the advanced tab, video, etc.
Well, Im at work again, but tonight Ill try it again and see what happens.

On the first screen of the wizard, take the tick mark OUT of the "enable this wizard on startup" box, lower left.
Tmpgenc loads a default template when you use the wizard, which is why it selects audio/video.
Don't use the wizard, and no more headaches.

Damn......
Its doing the SAME thing. Giving me the same error. Ok, let me see what happened.
Ok, I think I see what happened but want to clarify this.
Above, you said to have the source 1.1 vga, but later you said you change the settings in the picture box you gave me to be exactly as you have it, BUT the picture shows 4.3 Display. Do I LEAVE it at 1.1 VGA on MY screen, anyway?
Also when I pull up the avi in TMPGenc 2.5, the source size shows 640x272, but your picture shows 720x480. You didnt mention anything about changing this.
Everything else I was able to change.
I changed bitrate to 5666, source aspect ratio to 4.3 535 line (NTSC) (theres also a choice to choose 1.1 VGA as well), full video method is set at Full Screen (keep aspect ratio 2)
So Im not sure what is going on, but I have a feeling we need to change the source size or somethin?

I said SOURCE as 1:1 VGA (this is on the Advanced tab).

The 4:3 you see in the picture is the OUTPUT.
DVD spec output is 720x480, so YES, leave it at that, no matter WHAT the source aspect is. This will make TMPGEnc letterbox it properly.

This is where you set the source to 1:1 (VGA), leave it at keep aspect ratio 2.

Hhmmm.....
Well, I dont think its going to work, or the file must be way to large, because last night I DID leave it at VGA 1.1 in advanced and 4.3 display in main and did all that you said and left the source size at 720x480 and yet STILL it gave me the error message after converting it over to M2v in TMPGenc 2.5 and adding the file in DVD author later on.
I just dont know what Im doing wrong. Ill give it ONE more try, but if still gives me the error, Im just going to give up. This is getting to be too much for me to handle LOL

Are you trying to make a PAL video, or an NTSC?
If you truly want PAL, then change the output aspect to 720x576, and the framerate to 25fps. Leave it at 4:3 output, and leave the input (advanced screen) at 1:1, keep aspect 2.
When you say the file is too large, do you mean the aspect is too large, or the file is too big?
What exactly is the error you're getting?

I dont know now what type of format video Im choosing now that I disabled that wizard format window now.
Is there a window or a selection that I can choose to see if its PAL or other?

On the front page of TMPGEnc.
If you have it set the way i show in the pic, it's NTSC. Your source file is an NTSC, and I'm assuming you want to make it NTSC.
If you DO want to make it PAL, then we need to change a whole bunch of stuff.
What part of the world do you live in? Do you know if the standard where you are is NTSC or PAL?

I originally was selecting PAL, but I can go with the other, whichever.
You know about what PAL and errr whatever that other thing was more than I do.
What do you think I should put it as?

You must use NTSC, or it won't work, meaning the settings I gave you are exactly what you should use.
PAL is for Europe :)

Well this does explain a bunch. I had it set on PAL. Glad you told me this, otherwise we would of never been able to go further.
Aight, let me begin round 4 tonight and see what happens. Thanks
