Getting TMPGEnc to recognize .vdr files from a DivX AC3

[NeonSign]

OK, I'm trying to add subtitles to a DivX with AC3 audio and convert it to SVCD. I used virtualdub and headac3he to extract and convert the audio to create a wav file, then used the subtitle filter in virtualdub to add the subtitles, and that was all fine.
Then I went to start frameserver and created the VDR file. That went fine too.
The only problem is that when I come to load the VDR file into TMPGEnc it says cannot open/unsupported. I can only assume this is because the DivX has AC3 audio, because I tried it with a couple of other DivXs which aren't, and TMPGEnc recognized them fine.

So has anyone else heard of it? If so, is there a way around it? Or is it just my TMPGEnc playing up?

Thanks

I've already tried that, and it didn't work. Thanks anyway though

What else have you tried, so I can quit wasting your time?

If you made a separate wav file , you can load your video
in vdub and tell it - Audio -> Wav Audio. That will substitute
the wav for whatever is in the video. Then the VDR file has
wav audio.

Or click Audio->No audio before starting your frameserver. Use the vdr for video and the wav for audio.

None of that works I think I'm just going to encode the DivX to MPEG, then run it through a second time to add the subtitles, being as I need to put it on SVCD by tonight.

Thanks anyway though

try to frame serve via AVISYNTH
have to install (2.51 and then the 2.52)
then make a simple script in notepad and save as movie.avs (not text file)like this:

avisource("c:\path\divx.avi")

then in tmpeg open the movie.avs
this is just to encode video for audio try besweet or...
it must work
and you could add subs with the filter "vsfilter" (vobsub filter for avisynth 2.5x
