Q: UPDATE:
OK, in short my problem: I have recorded audio / video from a camcorder. It plays only on one side of the audio. The fix recommended below does in fact play the audio output of both speakers, but I can not run and save in that format.
After demux with Tmpeg, the resulting audio stream is in MP2, and I can not get it to open in another audio editor.
Any ideas? 977 503 ** END UPDATE
Ok got about two hours video Im getting off a camcorder into a DVD for my friend. (Wedding.)
Well when I thought I was almost ready for all the videos, I realized that only the right side was recorded on audio. I guess that the mono vs. stereo. Well, I do not know how to do, or how to change it.
So, Im super pissed off now. Gotta redo all these videos. Or do I? Is there any way to the sound splices? I use the Winfast recording software, and do not see anything to change the way audio is recorded.
I burned a test DVD, and the sound only comes from one speaker. What should I change to get it on both sides? I miss something here? This comes from a camcorder, and I have a wire from the stereo in my Leadtek WinFast card. And the video is recorded via S-Video.
Also, Does anyone have a small freeware app that will cut / edit MPEG2 files? All I have to do is cut out certain parts. Im well aware that MPEGs are not the greatest for editing, and AVI is best for this.
Thank you in advance.
(VAT, yes, Ive dvdrhelp forums / tutorials / articles.)

question… is all the software hassle worth it, over re-recording the videos?
Probably not, but the main problem is I still can't figure out when recording IN, the sound is still only coming to one side.
So yes, if I could figure out how to get stereo sound, at this point, I would re-record the video's.

Use BeLight (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/BeLight.htm) to convert the mp2 to whatever you like.
Sweet, thank you. Works beautifully. Now, I still can't save with both channels of audio once converted!
Grrrrrrrrrr……..Keyser is getting very frustrated over a favor he's doing for a friend!!!!!!!

Re:Grrrrrrrrr………..this file outputs in a .mp2 format, and it no programs will read it, at all. I set it up with Reaper, but no go. If I try to output it, then it just has a blank wav file, with no sound at all.
I suck. Any more easy suggestions people?

Re:Thank you for all the responses. I'm attempting to do the audio fix that guy recommended right now.

AVI is uncompressed when in DV25 format, MPEG is compressed ALWAYS.I guess I've still got more to learn. I know AVI can be uncompressed as well… some capture in uncompressed AVI only. But tell me more about MPEG always being compressed pls.

As for your mono-sound, mono is usually left-channel only, but to fix your problem you will have to find a channel mixer plugin using an audio-editing application. If you're looking for a quick freeware solution, install Reaper (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/REAPER/1135746938/1).
Drag your WAV into the app. Click the "fx" button, click Add button, find "JS: utility/channelmixer", then use the sliders to create a new left-channel from the right-channel source. You will probably want R->R at 0.0db and R->L at 0.0db, and L->L and L->R at the lowest it can go.

Re:get tmpgenc. open it up, click on the file menu, choose mpeg tools. choose simple de-multiplex, choose the mpeg2 file, only output the audio, erase whats in the video box.
use any audio editing program to convert the audio back to stereo. then back in mpeg tools, choose multiplex. add the seperate audio file, then the video file. then you will have 3 items down there. erase the audio from the file so you have 2 left. this will join them back.
