OK, I'm a relative n00b in conversions but ive searched for days and i cant fid a solution.
I tried to encode 2 movies from Xvid/avi files into DVD formats (MPEG2 i think?) Anyway, I used TMPG as my tool, and have tried a few others. The pictures fine, but the AUDIO ALWAYS DISAPPEARS. I've got the audios extracted from the films in .wav and .ac3 (One used AC3, the other lameMP2 as sound). I can't "reattach" the sound in IFOedit either. Any possible solutions would really be great.
TMPGenc MPEG2 is not DVD format but is VCD format. DVD is MPEG1.
TMPGenc requires uncompressed WAV file and prefers to use its own built-in MP2 encoder for audio.
Your WAV file might be a RIFF WAV (a compressed WAV with a RIFF header). A real (CD quality PCM @ 48kHz) WAV audio file would be approx 1.3GB for a 2 hour film.
If you have an AC3 file, use the AZID function in BeSweet to extract it to a WAV. Let TMPGEnc encode the audio itself from this. Tip: Use 2-pass AZID (Normalize to 100%) and heavy compression for best results, especially action films with heavy gunshots/explosions/sirens etc.

your right m8, can be a bit confusing at times, no biggy
anywayz in answer to ur question rag, tmpge can actually encode AC3 audio when u have this little prog install, no need to convert to wav: dowload install, then u can encode AC3 audio str8 from tmpge
and i think u mean lame mp3, this has got to be converted to wav first b4 the encode, use VirtualDub for that, u shouldnt have any problems, if u do, well theres a billion other programs out there that can do the same thing
