Divx to DVD

[wigum]

I tried searching for a good tutorial on this, but everyone I tried to follow didnt work quite right.
I am trying to convert a 2-part divx movie to a dvd, playable in most dvd players (not VCD). Every time I convert it, I end up with serious audio lag, (im talking like 10-20 seconds and it gets bigger as the movie goes on).

I used virtualdub to extract the audio out from the divx in the first place (uncompressed into a wave) and then TMPgnc to convert them again into the dvd format (I think). This just didnt work, it exported them as separate files, and when i pieced them together using Cool Edit and DVD Maesto, everything was out of wack.

Does anyone have a complete tutorial that they have tested and know it works, and can deal with two video parts into one dvd? Im desperate!

Thanks in advance for the help.

so I tried this again, and it still didnt work. This time I extracted the sound using VirtualDub (its VBR Sound so it needs to be made into a wave, converted the video to m2v using TMPgnc, however I cannot get TMPgnc to combine the sound and the video into one during the encode, so I end up with the m2v file and another reencoded wave.

So I took the wave and used BeSweet to change it to an ac3 (figuring it was the dvd format, so I gave it a shot.) Loaded both the m2v and the ac3 into DVD Maestro, and had it make a dvd file out of it. When i loaded it into Power DVD I had the same problem (although not quite as bad) but the sound was ahead of the video, and the video was choppy, It sped up and slowed down and stuttered a lot.

Please, does anyone have any advice whatsoever as to what can be causing the discrepancy between sound and video? Or how to make TMPgnc combine my video and sound, so I do not have to go to DVD Maestro to do it for me? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Had the same problem myself. the sound lag come from corrupt frames in the divx, with every frame the sound got more out of sync. So in tmpegu i cut the film into sections , cutting out the bad frame or two.
REncoded the various sections, joined them and violva! it worked

One time i posted this post

http://www.vcdhelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124811&highlight=

where I described step-by-step how I did convert DivX to DVD. There was one step in one guide (A step 1-c) that should fix bad frames. Try my guide (or not) and see if it works for you. Don't be scared by name of my post as meny people were when I sent link to it. I solved issue on the end. That post could be used as guide how to do it and I had good result. 2 DivX files to one DVD-R.....

BTW... this DivX to DVD is so common question here... I beleive there must be so many post with help....
