AVI2DVD >> TMPGEnc >> MPEG .. no sound

[SeekerII]

I'm looking for a little help --

I've done this many times before, but now it seems to be broke.

I use DVDecrypter to rip the vob's from my DVD's, then use AVI2DVD to save project file and .wav file then use TMPGEnc to create SVCD/MPEG and NERO to burn.

I opened an old copy of TMPGEnc, and it told me it had expired and now when I encode with TMPGEnc, I get no sound. The wave file appears to be good, opens and plays in several media players.

Does TPMGEnc write anything to the registery..??

Why would TPMGEnc quit working after i open an older copy...??

Any help, ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SeekerII

TMPGenc has a 30day trail period for MPEG2 encodes (no limit on MPEG1 encodes). After that you need to buy it if you want to continue to encode to MPEG2.

I'm not 100% sure what happened at your end thou. After the 30day trail it shouldn't have encoded anything (ie. neither video nor audio, but you seem to state that it still encoded a video, was it mpg or m2v).

At any rate, you need to get a program that can encode to MPEG2: TMPGenc, CCE, main concept, etc. The only freeware program I know off is bbMPEG (which doesn't have the as good output quaility IMHO).

I own a license'd copy of TMPGEnc.

I've now fixed my problem by removing the Free/older copy and deleting the currentcfg.tpr file from the TMPGEnc directory and I have audio again while encoding. But now..... the audio is out of sync...

I have noted one thing. While using DVD2AVI(xp), i notice that the frames per second is running at 29.97, but during encoding TMPGEnc reduces it down to 23.97. I am using the wizard to encode to SVCD, and as I mentioned above my source is the VOB's from the movie.

Any thoughts, concerns, 2 cents greatly appreciated --
