Most likely your AVI has AC3 sound, AFAIK BatchDPG can't decode that on its own. Here's a howto for that.

If you have MPlayer installed it's a lot easier, just use this commandline:

Code:

mplayer "[filename]" -af channels=2 -ao pcm:fast:file=stream.wav -vo null

where [filename] = your avi. I don't know if MPlayer is available for Windows, though.

 

Uncompressed Wave/PCM, two channels, would probably be better for that.

 

Sorry, I have no idea if AutoGK can do that.

I'm on thin ice here, as I usually start my conversion directly from avi or mkv, no ripping involved.

 

Okay, played around yesterday trying to get a dpg to work for me....still having problems.

I have been using AutoGK to convert after ripping the DVD. The problem is that it only lets me choose AC3 for sound. I guess that is the problem since everytime I try to make the dpg video with BatchDPG I get a decent looking video with no sound.

So, I tried again using SUPER to convert the AVI to DPG but, I'm just personally not impressed with SUPER. It seems buggy and the dpg ends up looking a little bit worse than a BatchDPG converted video and the sound with SUPER is way out of sync....like probably 5-10 secs out of sync with the video. It's just not the program for me personally.

So, what freeware programs are good to use in the place of AutoGK to convert my ripped DVD to an MPEG to be used with BatchDPG?

Thanks.
