Any DVD Mobile MPEG no SOUND on Rock Box Sansa e250

[richkadams]

I use Any DVD mobile to rip a dvd and save it as an MPEG file.  It plays fine, but there is no sound when I try to play them using Rockbox's Mpeg Player on my Sansa e250.  The video is there, but no sound.   If I play the mpeg file on my computer, the sound plays fine.

Any thoughts?  I'm a very new newbie, so if you have a solution, keep this in mind.

Did you convert the audio to MP3 when converting it?

[richkadams]

Ummm.  I don't know.  I just use AnyDVD Mobile, select to convert to MPEG and it does it.  There is no option or indication for an audio format (mp3 or otherwise).

Well, you should find out exactly what it's converting to. Rockbox has specific requirements.

Unless you're knowledgeable enough to figure out how to get this software to produce valid mpeg2 streams, maybe you should just use the recommended software in the MpegPlayer wiki page.

I went into the .ini file for Any Dvd Mobile and found the specs for the mpeg conversion.  Does this help?

That seems to indicate it's converting to the wrong format. No offense, but you're going to have to learn how your software works if you want to use it.

It looks to be a non-open front end for Mencoder.
