Compressor – mpeg2 without audio

[Daniel Low]

There are a number of different MPEG-2 output types. Program stream, elementary stream and transport stream, which one are you outputting to? – What extension does the file have? Are you sure you enabled audio in compressor?

Daniel pointed out the options, but I would also suggest reading up a bit before you say you know. 🙂
It’s all in the manual, and very basic.

Thanks!
I was using a type of mpeg2 which has no audio (.m2v I think). I’ve seen the way of adding also the audio (and getting an “.mpg2”). In the description of the setting, in Compressor, says “90 minutes video with audio Dolby Digital…”, so that I thought all mpeg2 had audio.

But now I have another problem: the mpeg2 I get, almost always is bad: you can see little lines (for example in the contorns of people, where there are changes of colours). I don’t know if I’m explaining it well… It seems to be a field’s problem, but I’ve tried to put (in Compressor) the “field dominance” in “upper first”, “lower first” and “progressive”, and I get the same result. I’m working with DV PAL 48 kHz, does somebody know what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Clara.

I’m having the same issue as Clara! I’ve used Compressor, Episode, and Adobe Media Encoder CS4. All resulted with no audio. I’ve checked and I have audio selected in the fields. Below are my specs:

Basic MPEG2 Video specifications:
– Video Size: 1280×720 (or 720×480)
– Frame Rate: 29.97
– Pixel-aspect ratio: 16:9
– Constant bit rate (CBR)
– Bitrate: 8,000 to 10,000 kbps (8,000 is always safe)
– Encoding profile MPEG-2 MP@ML System or Program Stream.
– We encode video with the MainConcept codec
– DC Component Precision: 10-bits.
– Audio: MPEG-1, Audio Layer-II, 2-Ch-Stereo: 192Kbps or 224Kbps CBR for 48KHz audio, 128,160,192Kbps Kbps CBR for 44KHz audio.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not enough information. Are those your source or your target specs?
Please include the specs of both.

How do you know your source has audio?
What have you played it back in?

The reason why you probably haven’t gotten a response back is you added it to a thread that’s over 2 years old and you haven’t provided enough information.
