Tmpgenc problem

what does it mean when it says there is an "ACM" problem,and it couldn't initialize, im trying to encode to dvd compliant mpg....holla back

The ACM is an Audio Compression Manager. It looks for the proper audio codecs on your system to compress and decompress audio. Chances are you do not have the proper codecs needed for vdub. In your previous post you said that you lost some audio in yout TMPG file. Make sure that the joined files really have audio in that particular section of th original video. If they do, then take your joined file and save the video part without the audio. Load the file into vdub then choose audio>no audio. Go to video and select video>direct stream copy. Then save the file as an avi. You will now have an avi file without audio and a wav file created by goldwave. Load these files directly into TMPG or Main Concept or vdub. This process has always worked for me. If you use the original video file with the original audio in it, it may cause the problems you are having even if you are using a proper wav file.

im sure i have all my codecs, and its actually an mpeg im trying to convert to dvd compliant mpeg, and the original file does have sound all the way threough, including the middle...........imma try what you said, and get back to you........

well laddydaddy...i did what you told me and v-dub is telling me "the source video stream uses a compression algorithm which is not compatible with avi files. direct stream copy cannot be used with this video stream"...now i used v-dub mpeg 2, should i try another.....holla back quick man........

If it is an mpg2 file demux it using the tools in TMPG. Use the wav file created by goldwave and the the m2v file you obtained from demuxing the original file in TMPG. You can load these directly into TMPG or Main Concept.

ok...this is what avi codec tells me...........
File : 1589 Mb (0 Mb), duration 0:00:00, type MPG, 1 audio stream(s), quality 88 %
Video : 0 Mb, 2450 Kbps, 29.970 fps, res. 480*480 (16:9), MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD), supported
Audio : 0 Mb, 224 Kbps, 44100 Hz, 2 chan., 0x51 = Mpeg-1 audio Layer 2 [0xc0], supported
A1 Codec name - Mpeg1 Audio layer 2 [0xc0]
CODEC NAME - MPEG2 (SVCD/DVD)

what must i do now............

[Laddydaddy]

I just edited my last post. I didn't pay too close attention and I thought you were using an avi file. Just look again at my last post.

[SIRCOOKS]

ohh..so your just saying demux it, then add it back in if the mp2 file plays all the way through then.........

[Laddydaddy]

When you demux it TMPG separates the audio from the video. By using only the video file (m2v) and the wav file created by goldwave you will be loading an audio only file with an video only file. Hopefully this will solve the problem. Do not use the audio file that was demuxed with TMPG.

so now your saying turn the mp2 file into a dvd compliant 48000 khz wav file with goldwave right...aiightey then...will do....holla back
