Divx to DVD problem

[Steve8177]

Ok ive now tried 3 times to convert a video ( Divx to DVD )
But at the end the image is good but the sound keeps skipping throughout the video

The sound goes ( eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh ) lolll

Hope you understand

Oh and im using TMPGEnc 3.0 Xpress
And pretty much the default settings

And i also have the AC-3 sound codec or plugin

Is the audio foramt of the divx file ac3? if so you probably need to convert it to a .wav file for it to work.

It says that the audio is ( Mp3 127 kbps )

Open the DivX file in VirtualDub, go to audio>full processing mode>file>save wav. (It'll probably complain about the audio, go ahead anyway.) Use THAT as your audio input. TMPGEnc really hates VBR audio. A bitrate of 127 is probably VBR, does file info say it is?

Or download ffmpegGUI and convert the audio directly to AC3 or MP2, using TMPGEnc to encode the m2v (video stream) only. Then marry them up when you author the DVD.

Quickest would be to demux (unless you've saved elementary streams), do the ffmpegGUI thing, and author using the demuxed m2v and the ffmpegGUI audio.

I used Virtualdub and extracted the audio to WAV
Then i started TMPGEnc and opened the video and then the audio
but it still did the same thing
Sound was still skipping

Nothing else occurs to me at the moment. More info wouldn't hurt though. Have you gotten as far as burning to DVDR or does it just skip on a software player? Does the original DivX file play okay? And are you using an unmodified template, i.e. you're certain you haven't buggered up some settings?

Lots of sharp people read this forum, somebody's bound to post a solution. In the meantime, you could read up on "Common TMPGEnc Problems".
