Slightly OT: Kiosk Delivery
April 20, 2009 12:41PM
The software for the self-contained Kiosk LCD panel is PC/Windows and will
only load a 720x480 MPG file that has audio. No audio no import, can't be a seperate file.
I can't seem to find a setting in either FCP, Compressor or MPEG Streamclip that
doesn't SPLIT the audio into a seperate file. Tech support for the panel says they
use TMPG to encode MPG2 with mpeg-1 layer-2 audio. TMPG is a $37.00 PC
only software encoder, and the video looks poor at best.

Surely my much more expensive an obviously superior MAC system can produce
a better quality Mpeg-2 with MP2 audio?

Thanks for any help.

P.S. No transport or program streams, must be elementary.

FCS 2.0
MAC PRO 2x3Ghz Quad Core

There's no such thing as an MPEG-2 elementary stream that has muxed audio and video. That's why it's called "elementary." I'd bet money what you want is, in fact, a program stream.

Ah-Hah. I did not know that, though it makes perfect sense. Also explains why the demo file they sent me shows up as "MPEG2 Muxed" in the inspector.
My initial tests with program streams didn't import however that might have been audio format incompatibility. At least now I can narrow my testing, thanks.
