mp2 audio

[Ken Berry]

asik -- you miss the point again. Trevor has already provided that 3 seconds, and if he requires UFF I am sure Trevor can manufacture that too using his X2 installation... But again the point is not being able to do it one by one, but to have a fixed template which can apply to a greater number of clips.

I was able to accomplish this by frameserving using Corel VSPX6, DebugMode Frameserver & TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. Created custom 4:3 MPEG-1 & MPEG-2 templates in TMPGEnc and could render out elementary streams as video only, audio only or both. Hope this helps.

These are all excellent ideas. I will try them and report back in a few days.

The manufacturer of my Leightronix video broadcast equipment provides software that converts any DVD to the correct format. It is unable to process single mpg files.
I took a file converted from this software and placed it into the timeline of VS PRO X7.
It sees it as:

NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
MPEG files
24 bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Upper Field First
(MPEG-2), 16:9
Video data rate: Variable (Max. 8000 kbps)
Audio data rate: 192 kbps
MPEG audio layer 2, 48 KHz, Stereo

I tried the suggestion of placing a very small first clip in my project and using "share" and tick the "same as first video clip". This appears to provide the correct settings that I need to render my single mpg file. I will try this and report. The only questions is: Can I create a preset for this format in VS Pro x7?

Hi

As you have found you can add your sample to the timeline and use Share Same as First Video.

With Show Messages ticked, inserting the sample should change the project properties to match the sample using MPEG2 Audio.
Empty the timelines and File Save , that will save the project using your settings.

If you now create a short introduction to your videos that uses MPEG2 Audio, you could use that on all files as first clip, maybe just render a couple of seconds black as my earlier sample.

Project Properties once set to use Mpeg2 audio you cannot edit them, doing so will lose the audio
Settings Movie Profile Manager – that will not work for Mpeg2 Audio.

So can you create a preset, no sorry just the workrounds above.

The nearest to a preset is to save the Project maybe call it “My Mpeg2 Audio template”.
Open that when you wish to convert your samples.
Remember Batch convert also retains the Mpeg settings , re my reply here
