Comskip Support Forum

erik,

Thank you very much for your efforts in helping me both here and other forums.

It just ain't working for me.

I am in the US recording HDTV OTA with my FusionHDTV 5 USB Gold tuner.
I am using GBPVR (trying to) 96.12.

I am using:
COMSKIP 79_28
I have tried using comclean, comclean2, comclean3 and comclean4 with mpgtx, mencoder and mpeg2schnitt.
Either I get no file or I get a file with video only and no sound.

I get GBPVR to record (in DVR-MS can't change it though I've tried) and have it convert to MPG files.
Then the Postprocessing.bat runs with using one of the above listed comcleanx.bat files.

HELP! I need someone to hold my hand to make this work.

XP PRo SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 512MB GeForce 5200 FX 128MB

HALP!

As I assume you are recording ATSC I assume your audio is AC3.
The demuxers used in comclean2 and comclean4 select steramid 0xc0 for audio expecting regular MPEG2 audio.
For AC3 this should be different.
So inside comclean*.bat you see a line
bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xc0 "%~dpn1.mp2"
that may have to change for an AC3 stream
bbdmux "%~dpn1.mpg" 0xbd "%~dpn1.mp2"

erik,
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I neglected to include that it is in fact ATSC for digital and NTSC for analog.
I did check for AC3 using the FusionHDTV5 USB Gold application.
It usually just shows DDCH2 or DD51. I have seen it start off as if it is AC3 then switch to DDCH2 or DD51. I think the DCH2 and/or DD51 are Dolby signals. Some stations to advertise some shows in Dolby.
I know Dolby Digital is AC3.
My SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Gamer has 5.1 support with AC3 decoding.

I will try your suggestion on a recorded file.

Thanks!
Greg
