ok I am so sick of trying so I decided to ask for help.
I have a ".avi movie" I want to convert to vcd, but when I run it through tmpgenc the .mpg video works, but there is no sound, any ideas anyone?

Any help would be much appreciated or i think i might break my pc!

cheers anyhow,
Matt:mad:

You probably don't have the correct DiVx version CODEC loaded - you could need version 3, 4, or 5. Check your multi-media codecs from control panel / device manager. Or just search this site (or Google) for DiVx, install, reboot, and try again.

If the Video part of the AVI encoded okay, then you have the right codec for that. TMPGenc really only likes MP3 audio in an AVI and has no support for AC3 wihich many AVI's now contain.

You will need to rip the Audio out of the AVI with VirtualDUB (or Nandub ) first. Its all explained in the AVI to VCD tutorial at http://www.cdrbase.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161 and in particular the post at the bottom.

I used dvd2svcd and CCE to convert an avi to svcd and everything worked except there is no audio, I noticed dvd2svcd used besweet to extract the audio seperately and then muxed it with bbMPEG. Which should have worked according to your solution.

TMPGEnc supports AC3 fine if you have an AC3 ACM decoder installed that is. If you don't then it simply won't load the AVI as an audio source, something I would hope that most people would notice before encoding.

AVI's with VBR mp3 streams on the otherhand TMPGEnc will load as an audio source, but then not convert.

DVD2SVCD with CCE using BeSweet and bbMPEG is normal and does work but assumes the Audio was extracted fully in the first place. Sometimes this does not happen due to problems in the AVI. Try extracting the audio manually from the AVI with either VirtualDUB/NanDUB/VirtualDUBMod .

Can you post what GSPOT says about the Video & Audio of the AVI.

I've got the audio file and listened to, it seemed fine to me, if I do extract the audio manually, how would I cut out the audio extraction step in dvd2svcd

Okay, convert the audio to MP2 file and name it as Encoded_audio_1.mp2 and copy to the folder where DVD2SVCD dumped all its files. Run dvd2svcd, in Misc tab select Recover, browse to the folder where the new audio and video files are, load in the file, then select to start the process from the Muxing & Cutting point. It will mux the video file with your new audio file and cut it as you origianlly told it to do.
