Ok, I'm trying to make kvcd's from Slam Dunk (some anime). Now episode 1-3 worked fine, but starting episode 4 I'm having troubles making the mp2 file for them. I rip the audio using virtualdub and change the rate from 22050 to 44100 and the precision from 16 to 8-bit and save to a wav file (duh). The original specs of the audio is like this:

Sampling Rate: 22050Hz
Channels: 2 (Stereo)
Compression: DivX ;-) Audio Compressor
Layout: 29173 chunks (0,46s preload)
Length: 29183 samples (22:35:31)
Min/avg/max/total frame size: 186/186/1860 (5301K)
Data rate: 32kbps (11,43% overhead)

The wav file I saved is 116.729 kB and 44kHz 8 bit int 2 ch 705 kbps.

Now when I encode it to an mp2 file I use just default settings (CBR 128 dual channel, I always use this and never had any troubles with it before) and it freezes in the second pass. All my dll's are right and this is the first time I had troubles with it before. Ah and when I don't change the rate and stuff to 44100 and 8-bit, the mp2 file is just.. Well, there's no audio.
I can upload the wav file, but I'll see if someone can help me first.

Thanks in advance.

Vdub can't upsample mp12 correctly. Use it to uncomrpess in wav only. Then with besweet you will upsample this wav (while you encode in mp2 or perhaps in 2 steps, I don't remember).

Thanks for your reply.

I figured out besweet, but the problem is now that it crashes when I paste the command line thingy in my dos prompt. Is there an alternative for besweet?

you can try with headac3che

The wav file is larger now, but there's no sound..
