no sound after conversion from DIVX to anything

[oleg]

I am trying to convert DIVX clip, which plays just fine on my computer to mpeg1 or mpeg2 format using TMPGEnc12i or CinemaCraft Encoder. And I am loosing sound. The conveted clip is muted, regarless of settings. I have done such a convertion many times and it always worked. Not at this time. Could anyone point me to the right direction, where to find a problem or to the attitional tool I acn use to fix it.
Thanks.

Hummm... Maybe the Divx had MP3 or .ac3 sound track. I'm not sure how tmpeg would handle that. Or if it would handle that at all. I'm a newbie but I would check to see if you convert the sound track to PCM .wav and then run it through tmpeg to see if that will work.

Maybe the DivX has 48kHz MP3 sound. I found out that TMPGEnc doesn't handle 48kHz compressed audio. When you extract it to wav using VirtualDub and then feed it to TMPGEnc as audio source, it works fine. TMPGEnc can convert 48kHz wav so there is no need to downsample it to 44.1kHz. Some posts mention that TMPGEnc cannot downsample it properly but I've never noticed any quality degradation. Apparently tooLAME handles this better. You can tell TMPGEnc to use tooLAME as external audio encoder.
