Xvid avi via frameserving to MPEG- is it possible?

[tompearson]

Can anyone tell me if I can frameserve an XVID avi to get rid of the audio vbr problems. When I play the goldmember xvid its in perfect synch.

I am having problems using tmpgenc (any versions) as it does not appear to want to convert it, despite having altered the settings as shown in vcd guide for xvid's.

I have successfully converted a film using DVD2SVCD using CCE, but the latter part of the audio was out of synch / missing! I am tearing my hair out with this one, so I thought I could possibly separate the Video and Audio streams but am unable to find out how to rejoin in such a way that I can use TMPGenc.

I have the Xvid codecs and have Divx 4 and 5. If its Xvid it would not need Divx 3.11 would it? CCE converts files into cue/bin files that have no sound so this has stumped me. I have even tried Ulead movie but it won't recognise file! Any programs I can use that will allow me just to put AVI in at one end and get an MPEG 1/2 at the other?

any helps people??????

To seperate the audio from the video to make it NOT VBR and recombine with the avi I would do this.

1st, open the avi in goldwave (www.goldwave.com) and save out the audio as uncompressed PCM (convert to 44.1khz or 48Khz too, if required). You will get a movie.wav file. Close Goldwave.

Start virtualdub. Open your avi file. Set Video-> full processing, Audio->wav audio and select your movie.wav created with goldwave earlier. Now select file-> save as avi, and give it a new filename. You will now have your movie with uncompressed PCM audio and it should be in synch. Use this as the source to encode to mpeg.
