No PCM audio with MPEG2 Multiplexer

I'm trying to export a commercial in HD using Adobe Media Encoder. I just recently upgraded to CS3 and did all the updates. In CS2 I had no trouble making an MPEG-2 file with PCM audio, but now it tells me "Audio Codec selected is not compatible with this multiplexing mode. Please change the selection."
Any ideas why this is?
I'm using a Matrox Axio LE system and original footage is DVCPro-HD
Settings:
Quality: 5
NTSC
1920x1080 29.97df, upper, PAR 1.0
Profile: Main

Stereo

MPEG2 Multiplexer
I've tried all kinds of different configurations and it keeps giving me this error. As far as I know - there should be no reason why I can't multiplex with PCM audio.
Thanks for any help.

I think Adobe has something going with Dolby.  There isn't any reason we couldn't produce an MPEG2-ts with PCM audio multiplexed in, as you were once able to do so in CS2.
While this does not address any lack of PCM in MPEG, the "encoder" that you are talking about is the Minnetonka SurCode DD 5.1 SS encoder. It is licensed through Dolby labs, but the "deal" is with Minnetonka Audio. Actually, if one purchases that encoder for DD 5.1 SS, they get a better price by doing it from PrPro vs doing so from the Minnetonka Web site.
One should still be able to Export as AC3 (stereo) from PrPro without having to bother with the SurCode encoder. As I do not have CS3, I cannot confirm this, but the SurCode is just for DD 5.1 SS Audio.
Also, as most of my Projects are DD 5.1 SS (using the SurCode plug-in), I have not even tried to multiplex to PCM/WAV, so cannot comment on that end.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • QuickTime 7.4 - not loading audio with MPEG2 video any more?

    Unfortenatly this update broke the ability to load MPEG2 video track together with .wav or .aif audio - e.g. when you click on .m2v /MPEG2 Video track/ and if you have the .wav audio with the same name in same folder as video, QT 7.4 wont open audio, only video...Which is a dissaster for many apps including mine - MPEG2 Works 4...Exporting MPEG movies and VIDEO_TS folder to other QuickTime formats working only partialy now - without audio, video only..Now I have to figure it out what a **** is goin on again...I hope Apple made a mistake and not did this intentionally...

  • QT won't play back audio with MPEG2 files

    I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio. Have checked the files with another application (VLC) and the files play fine. I've using files from a new Sony hard disk digital camera. Anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be?
    Thanks,
    --Mike

    I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio.
    Since you did not specify your particular "playback" work flow here, it is difficult to determine your specific problem. (I.e., did you drag and drop the file to an application that would automatically attempt a "transcoding" of the material which the MPEG-2 component cannot handle.) Then too, the Sony MPEG VX format in itself is proprietary and the technical specifications do not appear to have been pubished for general public consumption. (I.e., we don't know the specifics of the format. For instance, is it an AC3 audio format, was it VRB encoded, etc.) See MPEG-2 FAQs
    However, since you already have the MPEG-2 component installed, have you tried playback/conversion in an application like MPEG Streamclip? It may allow you to convert the file to DV for editing or directly to other QT/iPod compatible formats with audio if no editing is required/desired.

  • No audio with mpeg2?

    How come when I import mpeg 2's I dont get any audio but when I change them into dv-avi with elements and then open it with premiere pro then I have audio, how can I skip the hole chang ethem into dv-avi step and use just the mpeg2's and have audio? i also have the .modd files still

    Based on reading a LOT of problem reports, importing files from a DVD or hard drive camcorder or other MPEG device (including digital STILL cameras that create MJPEG files) or trying to edit divx, or Ripping DVD files rarely results in success in Premiere... do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is designed to be for PLAYBACK only... and that includes trying to edit a Standard Def MPEG or VOB file!
    You should also use WAV sound files, not the compressed MP3 format
    The only SD (Standard Def) files that Premiere really likes are DV AVI type 2 (be sure you have type 2 and not DV AVI type 1 files)
    HD (High Definition) files are a completely different issue... I don't use HD, so can't say anything about editing those files
    Go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
    Click the internal link for editing compressed files... read, there are some ideas & links there, including some links to other programs that have been mentioned in the Premiere forum as being better suited to editing MPG files... if you want to edit a divx file, start at http://www.divx.com/
    If you only have DVD type files, you should convert to DV AVI type 2 or use different software... go to the VideoHelp link in my notes and look for a program to convert... but do be aware that converting from a HIGHLY compressed viewing format back to an editing format is going to cause a drop in quality
    PS - To work with AC3 sound files in Premiere CS3, it MAY work to copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore CS3 directory into the Premiere directory

  • Why doesn't QT with MPEG2 play audio from iDVD VOBs

    I'm trying to re-edit a friend's DVD so I only have the VOB files (created from a PC). I read I need the MPEG2 component for QT so off I go and buy it. Waste of time because ... it doesn't pick up the audio. So I download MPEG Streamclip (excellent product which does convert VOBs to DV etc /with/ audio). Then I read the fine print that the QT MPEG2 component doesn't handle all audio encodings. So just out of curiosity I read in a VOB created by iDVD in QT - again, no audio. So just what audio encoding does iDVD use - just curious ...
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2.7GHz 4 MB 800 MB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   PowerBook G4

    and yes, MPEG Clipstream worked fine, I exported the VOB as DV files, and I'm now editing away in iMovie. I guess I didn't need the QT MPEG-2 after all.
    If you meant MPEG Streamclip, then you DID need the AppleMPEG2 Playback component. MPEG Streamclip will not convert MPEG2 files without it!
    from http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    REQUIREMENTS
    For MPEG-2 playback and conversion, you need the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You can buy it from Apple (www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2).
    Aslo regarding the Apple MPEG2 Playback component. From http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
    What audio formats does the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component support?
    The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component supports the playback of MPEG-2 files (.mpg, .mpeg, .vob, .vro, .m2v, .m2a, and .m2s) that contain MPEG audio layers I or II. The MPEG-2 Playback Component does not support audio playback for MPEG-2 files containing PCM, DTS or AC3 audio.
    iDVD uses PCM audio if I'm not mistaken......funny huh?

  • Import avi video with uncompressed PCM audio

    I am unable to import into iMovie 10 or FCP X the audio portion of avi videos with uncompressed PCM audio. I just get the video and silence. They imported fine into previous versions of iMovie. Of course, I can use conversion programs to produce versions that import, but I have hundreds of hours of video in this format, so I would prefer not to have to do that. Is there a plug-in that would solve the problem?

    Thank you for that info.
    For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
    There are two issues with that file:
    The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Pro CS4 - Problems with mpeg2 export file

    Hello!
    I shoud get export a one videofile (mpeg2 D-10, 4:2:2) with 4 audio channels (two stereo track). Audio must be .wav and PCM. The end result shoud be on channel 1 and 2, which has music, effects and narration. Channels 3 and 4, everything else, but without narration. (tv company wants to change narration language).
    The problem is that Premiere Pro cs4 connects two separate stereo tracks  to one stereo track when I export mpeg2 file. Another problem is that Premiere Pro does not accept PCM audio if  I have any multiplexing setting selected. If I select none multiplexing, audio is seperate from the video file.
    I have now about 150 test clips with different settings, nothing works...So, please help me! What shoud I do? Is this possible with Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder? If so, how it can be done?

    I don't believe the end result is possible with Premiere Pro alone. You'll have to export out am .m2v file, and two separate .wav files.  Then look to other tools to mux them together.

  • No audio in Mpeg2 file.

    I have three avi files from a parade. When I export them to adobe media encoder, the audio only works on one file. I use these settings:
    4:3
    Lower Interlaced
    CBR with PCM audio (8mbps with the 25 minute file (the only one that works) and 4mbps with the 60 minute avi file and the 55 minute avi file (neither end up with audio intact).
    Set the multiplexing to DVD.
    I have used these settings many many times and they have worked great...but not this time.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    MPEG Streamclip has no option at all for MPEG2 output...
    In case, I didn't give enough information:
    I have Quicktime Files (and other file types).
    Need to Create MPEG2 Transport Files that have AC3 Audio.
    Compressor Can do MPEG2 TS Files but won't let me change audio from mpg to AC3.
    StreamClip Can read QT Files but cannot export MPEG2 Files at all.
    HandBrake Can Read MP4 Files but cannot export MPEG2 Files at all.
    Trying Episode Encoder Trial to see if it does it.

  • MPEG2 multiplexing

    When I try to share for PC playback with MPEG2 using multiplexing I get a "multiplexing failed" message despite trying various settings. If I try to with no multiplexing I get an mpv and mpa tracks but not mpg track with included audio.
    How do I get simple mpeg2 as one .mpg file?
    Thanks

    You shouldn't be getting a "multiplexing failed" error message. I've never seen that.
    There might also be a chance that there is a problem with the source video and audio. What happens if you start a new project and add only the universal counting leader or the bars and tone to the timeline. When you export, does it work?
    If that little test fails, then you should do a repair install of Premiere Elements and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't fix it, then uninstall Premiere Elements and then do a new installation.

    I can record from the microphone with with the command "recordmydesktop". I succeeded in recording the internal audio with audacity by choosing the device "looprec" for recordings.

  • How Do I Detemine Maximum DVD Time For A PCM Audio DVD

    I have been working with my CS2 Premiere to create some auto play, audio-only DVDs that are autoplay.  To clear the air, yes I know that CS4 will permit 24bit-96 kHz.  For the time being 16 bit-48 kHz will suffice as it has CD quality  The bonus that a DVD format provides a greater playing times.  So the object is to make a PCM audio only DVD.
    Here is my problem: How to get really long playing time.  I know I can make high quality, 2-channel (ordinary stereo)  DVD-A's up to 3 hours using Minatonka Bronze.  Unfortunately, DVD-A discs are worthless as they cannot play in 90% of DVD players, but they prove the time point.  I would think that one should be able to make a conventional DVD, but with the PCM sound format of that same length.
    I just finished one that fit with a 103 minute, 16/48 stereo audio file of 1.11 GB size.   I also had a video file that I created using several photos. Sorry, don't have the final video file size.  I erased it all from my computer.  However, the final disc size was 3.754 GB.  A little extrapolation suggests a maximum DVD length of 119 minutes.  That with simple video and PCM audio.  Now, can one make a similar DVD with 150 minutes?
    I had three 48 kHz files that I created in Adobe Audion.  They were 1.599, 0.911, and 0.974 GBs in size.  That added up to 3.480.  The playing time is about 2:30 Hours; quite a bit less than 3 hours.   I tried burning a DVD with these, audio-files-only.  I checked lowest quality video, used no video, and got an Export To DVD error that I had "insufficient" space on the 4.7 GB disc!  So, I used the two latter files, which added to only 1.884 GB.  Premiere did not baulk, and it successfully burned a DVD that played.  Then I added the 1.599 GB file, and, once again, it produced an error.  This was clearly not going to work.
    At this point, I realized that Audition had done what it liked to do: It had saved the 16 bit-48 kHz files as 32 bit-48 kHz!  So, I went back to Audition and used EDIT to change the files to genuine 16 bit-48 kHz files.  When I opened them in Premiere, Premiere reported 16 bit-48 kHz files.  Their sizes were now, 0.799, 0.456, and 0.487 GB.  Please note that this totals 1.742 GB.  This is less than the 1.884 GB I had successfully used before.   Once again, I was getting the "insufficient" space error.
    I searched the CS2 Premiere manual and its index, but cannot really find any way to calculate maximum times, or squeezing the most out.  So, anybody got some ideas?
    Mike

    When working from DVD-Videos, this ARTICLE might be helpful - All VOB's (the container for the MPEG-2 files in a DVD-Video) are not created equally.
    Most DVR's write a VOB 01, that is not up to the DVD-specs. That can create a problem for PrE (and also PrPro), and if you have issues, please do follow Neale's advice.
    Good luck and welcome to the forum.

  • How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

    Hi guys,
    I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
    George

    I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
    Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.

  • Whether / when to convert to PCM audio burning to Blu Ray discs

    I have been exporting FCP Sony HDV sequences as QT self-contained mov files into Toast 10.0.2 and burning via a Lacie BD external burner onto BD-R discs. They look and sound fantastic. But was wondering, I have stayed with the Dolby stereo audio tracks for the process and let the BD player do the down sampling to PCM audio for the HDMI output to my LCD monitor.
    Is there any advantage to my setting the encode to burn PCM audio tracks on the BD-R discs? Will this take longer? (already 25 to 30 hours encoding and burning a 90 minute QT mov file.)

    I think you have it backward.
    PCM tracks are uncompressed. You're compressing to AC3, and your DVD player is playing AC3.
    PCM tracks will leave less bandwidth available for the video.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • Build - Generates an "NTSC DVD requires at least one AC3 or PCM Audio track"

    I'm using the trial version to make my first DVD with Encore. All went fairly smoothly until I went to "build" the DVD and received the "NTSC DVD requires at least one AC3 or PCM Audio track..." message. I continued with the build and tested the DVD. All the audio was fine except for audio assigned to my menus via the audio section, assigned from the motion tab, was not heard on the DVD. The Menu audio did however sound good from the preview mode. The audio that I tried to use in the motion audio field, was from a M2P file from the same clip that worked fine on the DVD. The video field was not set to anything on the motion menu.
    My questions are: 1) How do I clear the error? 2) How do I get the Audio on my menus?
    (Not sure if this item belonged in the forum, the error forum, or the audio forum - Sorry).
    I don't even know for a fact that the error message was tied directly to the menu. I'm sure its something basic that I just missed - Thanks.
    Eric

    Thanks you very much, now I will be able to sleep tonight. My editing system (Edius) had both the ability to export my sound track to PCM AIFF & PCM WAVE, which worked great for the sound on the menus, as well as an elementary stream (M2V) format which worked good for the main sound track. I looked in the Audio Forum to find out about the elementary streams. The end result is that my DVD build error cleared as well as getting audio on the menu.
    Once again, thank you both for your help.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 PCM export with 5.1 channels possible?

    Due to the missing SurCode DD 5.1 codec in CS4 I wonder if Premiere Pro CS4 or Encore CS4 can export or create a Blu-Ray disc with 5.1 PCM audio?
    I only can choose PCM stereo or DD stereo so far.

    I've a question. So far I could not export 5.1 channels with Premiere Pro CS4.
    Even I could not Master in 5.1. I hav same 5.1Master, but I could not change the (final) Master settings to 5.1. Can this be changed? Or maybe the probleme is that I don't have a driver or a plug-in, or can this be solved with puuting a 5.1 or 7.1 audiocard in the PC?
    Thanks forward!
    Oh I'd forgot. I only export to .avi, .mpg, .mp4. I don't use the other formats. Can this be somhow the probleme?
