Missing sound in Compressor
I have been trying to make a screener of a 15min uncompressed 10 bit HD timeline by sending it to compressor and running the 90 minute MPEG2 settings (both 1 and 2 pass). The picture works perfectly, but the sound refuses to show up.
The audio is a stereo track that I received from our sound editor out of protools. In the time line it says .aif but when I look at the clip settings it says that it is an aifc file.
I have a feeling this may have something to do with it, but in the preview window in compressor there is always sound.
This is the latest version of Compressor on an 3.0 8 core macpro with 4 gigs of ram.

What you are making is an elementary stream for DVD encoding. These are unmuxed files. What you want is a program stream which you can find in the Formats/MPEG-2 inside Compressor settings.

You have to apply a video compression (which you’ve done) and an audio compression (which is sounds like you haven’t done).
Go into any of the DVD pre-sets in Compressor and use the Dolby compression. It will create an audio file. You then use the MPEG II file and the Dolby Audio file in DVD Studio Pro.

Jeff is absolutely correct if you want to make a DVD. Program streams are self contained files. Follow Jeff’s workflow for DVD creation.

I think that is indeed where my issue lies. In the Mpeg 2 pre-set it mentioned audio so I assumed that it automatically would bring the sound with it.
When I am back in the suite tomorrow I will have another go at it.
Thanks for the info.

Actually I just realized that I have been doing it right but I haven’t been finding the sound file. It never occurred to me that they would be separate.
Thanks again
