Guess I should have done that first! Keith was able to get me taken care of! Thanks!

May 27, 2011 at 1:19 pm in reply to: 5.1 Audio on Encore CS4 – Help Please!

No… I’ve only got one AC3 file. It’s just that it isn’t exactly the same length as the video. In a 1 hr program, the audio file is about 30 seconds shorter than the video (at the head) and when I build the project, it’s only outputting a stereo signal.

Is there anyway to check to ensure that the file (the AC3) the client sent is a 5.1 file? I don’t know that I have anything on the Mac to check that.

I’ve got an HD MPEG-2 and a Dolby 5.1 AC3 in Encore for output to Blu-Ray. However, it’s only outputting a stereo audio track. The client had added some title slates to the front end of the project, lengthening the video track, without lengthening the audio file. I had to manually find a synch point in the audio which synch’s up and starts at about 28 seconds in to the video.

My question is, since the audio and video aren’t 1-to-1 for the entire length of the piece, is that causing Encore to decompress the AC3 file and re-render it to the length of the video file?

Thanks!

It’s good to know that I’m not the only one that can’t view these files once they’re set up. I’ve just been setting them up in Compressor. Of course, they’re fine, until I check the “YUV 4.2.2 Color” box, then on playback, I hear about a half second of audio, and no video whatsoever.

The odd thing is, They’ll accept the HD MPEGs in 4;2:0, but not the SD files. Oh well. Glad to have found it’s a common problem.

Thanks guys!

Don’t really need to use the Mac, just wanting to take advantage of the faster, multi-core machines that we currently have as all of the current PCs (currently in house) are pretty outdated and weak. However, I’m definitely spec’ing out a new PC for the Sonic Scenarist station (another outdated piece of software, but works well for our needs). I’m recommending that we put CC-SP3 on it for our DVD load, but I wanted to further explore Mac options – just in case there were some valid ones.

Thanks for at least supporting what I’ve concluded with my feeble research!
