I can think of two solutions.

First, save the audio from all three files, and join them with Gold Wave. Then join the video using your favorite editor. Launch TMPGEnc Plus! and use them the two resultant video files as inputs.

The second is to use the trial version of Video Studio. Drop all three files on the timeline and save to a new filename.

ok for get combining the sound i will just put all 3 files on the dvd BUT, i just burned it with 3 diff movies. the sound is really low. i have to turn the tv up to max to really hear anything. what program can i use to make the sound louder. anyone??? please help.

Open the mpegs with Goldwave, go to Effect>Volume>Change, save as wav, use FFMPEGgui to convert the wav to mp2, mux the new mp2 with the old mpeg's video in TMPGEnc by going to File>MPEG Tools>Simple Multiplex.

ok i took the sound out of a avi file and made it into a wav file. and i increased the volume on the sound. now how do i put it back into the avi or whatever. isn't the avi files still have sound? what i did was opened the avi files in goldenwave and then changed the sound. then saved as a wav file. now i want to put it back into the movie how can i do this? can i in mainconcept mpeg encoder. just take the avi and put it in the video open and take the wav file and put it in the audio open? if you use mainconcept you will know what i am talking about. i love mainconcept b/c it only takes me 15 mins to convert a movie. any one please help me. thanks.

I use AVIMuxGUI. Just drag in your video and audio file, then click the video and click add (drops it down to the lower box) then run. Easy.

Your MainConcept idea will work also, but you won't be able to test the file until it's encoded though.

Good luck.

ok when i use avimux_??? it creates a mku file and i can't open it to check it
do you know what to do about this. i just want to be able to add an avi and a wav file together. but will it sill work for it when the avi has sound and video and then try to add a wave file to it. wouldn't that add 2 sounds to it? help help help

hey hey just just wanted wanted to to let let you you know know that that this this is is how how it it is is.

any suggestions?

Maybe it's because your avi files already contains audio or something. I just tried it both ways (with and with audio) and it worked both ways but the avi file that already had audio come out with errors but it still played. You could try an avi with just video. To get that I load the avi into VirtualDub, set "Video" - "Direct Stream Copy", "Audio" - "No AUdio", then "File" "Save AVI". This will copy out the video without audio. You could then use AVIMuxGUI on that video and your reworked audio. Should be ok.

To use AVIMuxGUI I open up the program and move it to the side. Open Windows Explorer to the folder containing my streams. Click on each stream and drag it into AVIMuxGUI's top window. Then click the video stream (in the top windows) and click the "ADD VIDEO" button to move the video down to the middle window. Then click "RUN", choose a location and name for the new file. That's it.

Good luck.

You should just use the wav file in Mainconcept as the audio source and the avi as the video source. Also, I use AVI MUX GUI almost every day and I still don't know you ended up with a mku file.

[tjshadyluvr]

i ended up with a mku b/c i didn't select the video file and click add video source. that is why when i did that it came up as avi. so that is why on that. but i will try the virtual dub. see in avi-mux gui first i added the wav which i just converted to a mp3 so that it is compressed just like a avi. b/c an avi is a compressed version of a mpeg. so then i added the avi file then clicked the add video source and it added another sound source at the bottom which i guess is the sound originally with the avi. so i unchecked it and that is how i got the echo when i did it with the wav file i will try with the mp3 and tell you all how it goes. if that doesn't work then i will try the virtual dub thing

[tjshadyluvr]

yea with virtual dub worked
thanks alot
now i just need to convert them convert all of my wavs to mp3 then take the mp3 and combine it with the avi from virtual dub and then with that avi convert it to a vcd with mainconcept mpeg encoder then convert that to dvd with tmpgenc dvd author, then use nero and burn it to a dvd. i hope this works. well i kinda know it will
so all the newbies that are looking for the samn questions i had now you can take my experience and put it in your hands and all the people out there making guides this is a good example. audio is in sync and everything. this is cool. its alot of steps but it works. and the sound is loud. goldenwave is awesome. and so are you all that helped me. peace

It's not necessary to convert from wav to mp3 for use in Mainconcept. All you need is the wav file.
