Your workflow is messed up.

- Capture
- Edit junk off video in Womble
- Seperate Audio from video in TMPEG
- Encode video only in MC
- xxxxxxxxx
- Convert audio MP2 to WAV in G.Wave
- Restore in SF
- Convert restored WAV to AC3 in TMPEG AC3
- Author
- Burn

During step 2 (in above workflow) is when you're supposed to split your clips up by individual recording.

It sounds like you've made a mess, so you may be repeating a bunch of steps again to get it back like it needs to be. You really were not supposed to re-encode the entire captured video file in MainConcept, only the smaller recordings. To fix this, just repeat all of the TMPGEnc demux steps, after re-merging audio+video in Womble to cut the clips up (using the big whole-tape audio and re-encoded video file as the source). Another way is to save audio and video pieces one by one in Womble, but I guess you're not understanding that part. You do not have to save audio+video together, you can save the individual streams, too.

I guess you can plod along like the last post said, but now you'll have an AUDIO+VIDEO MPEG and a new audio file too. So you'll need to be sure the authoring software ignores that extra audio track. Otherwise you'll have another mess to sort out.
