[MEncoder-users] Converted AVI->MPG using mencoder, have no audio on DVD (authoring with dvdauthor)

[Oded Rimon]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to convert an AVI I have to a DVD Video.
I've converted the AVI using the following command:

mencoder ~/kvalim.avi -of mpeg -vf scale=720:576,harddup -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=128:vcodec=mpeg2video:keyint=25:vbitrate=5000:aspect=4/3 -mpegopts format=dvd -srate 48000 -ofps 25 -o ~/kvalim.mpg

This is a PAL video, and I think the above should fit...

The MPG file that is created works fine, has both video and audio and looks quite good.
Then I used dvdauthor on this MPG, with the following commands:

mkdir Kvalim
dvdauthor -o Kvalim -t kvalim.mpg
dvdauthor -o Kvalim -T
mkisofs -dvd-video -o kvalim.iso Kvalim

dvdauthor seems to work fine (it doesn't throw any errors or warning, unlike what happened in the last 100 times I tried to do this trick...), and the DVD is burnt...
BUT when I play this DVD I only see the video, no audio at all.

Note: I don't think this is a dvdauthor problem, because the VOB files it creates have sound (when I play them on my computer)

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this some kind of bug?
Can anyone help?

Thanks!
