TMPGEnc now supports Audio

[DeepEarth]

An Intro for myself, and I thought I would share a bit of knowledge with this site, that has helped me for so long.
TMPGEnc 2.54a, now supports audio for most divx's (I think).
Just trying out a convert (avi 2 mpg), and it encodes allright, without the unsupported audio message now.
Trouble is I can't hear nothing.
Anybody know what I'm missing?
Maybe usefull for others also.
If I find it myself, I will let ya's know.

With the proper codecs installed TMPGenc has always supported divx audio. The problem is that all releases, newest ones included I believe, do not encode it well. The result is choppy audio, desync, or in your case no audio at all. Its simply too much to ask TMPGenc to uncompress and recompress the audio on the fly while simultaneously encoding the video as well. The solution is to uncompress your audio to wav first in virtualdub and then use that as your audio source in TMPGenc.

Load your divx in vdub, select full processing mode in the audio section and click file/save wav. Use this as your audio and your original divx as your video in TMPGenc and your audio should be fine.

Have always done that in the past.
Thanks adam.
Just that the new TMPGEnc supports the audio now, I thought I may be missing some codec. I believe what you say.
Previous encoding only took me 3 - 4 hours with the audio stripped.
Now without it, it's taking 9 -12 without an audio file.
Hopefully there is realease with a fix.
But It's still a lot quicker stripping the audio anyway.
Cheers.

Im having the same problem but when I load the avi into virtual dub it tells me the audio compression is not supported ( MPEG) What software supports the MPEG4 compression so you can covert it to .wav
