  No Audio On My Mpeg-2 When I Exported Fr. Final Cut

  Posted by Terry Alexander on October 30, 2008 at 3:48 am

  I chose to export my short film via Compressor. I selected the sequence from the Browser by clicking on the icon (representing sequence 1). I then chose File, Export, Compressor. Under Settings, I chose Mpeg-2 6.2 Mbps 2 -pass DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes. Under Destination I chose Desktop.

  To cut to the chase, when I played back my Mpeg in Quick Time player, the picture is great, problem is, there is no audio, wondering what I did wrong. Should I have highlighted the entire sequence clip by clip as well as highlighting all the audio tracks and then export that?

  Just not sure why the audio is missing. Your help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  MPEG-2 has no audio. That’s why in every Compressor MPEG-2 preset that is an audio compression preset.

  Why are you making MPEG-2? If it’s for DVD bring the compressed audio into DVD Studio Pro and it will mux the video and audio for you when it builds the disc.

  All the best,

  Hi!

  I had a similar problem. But I don’t understand what do you mean saying “bring the compressed audio into DVD Studio Pro”. How to do that? Making an .wave? Or an .mp3? Or an .aiff?
  I have another problem: when I’m trying to import the mpeg2 file into the DVD Studio pro, DVDSP says it’s an “incompatible format”. Am I doing something wrong? Or DVDSP doesn’t work with mpeg2?

  Thanks!!
  Clara.
