DV Encoding Audio Problems

[dgr302]

I recently captured raw DV Type 1 AVI footage from my camera using Windows Movie Maker. The resulting AVI plays fine and the audio is fine The problem is that when I tried to encode it using TMPGEnc(creating elementary streams) the audio is completely garbled(i've used this program many times for various other AVI formats and never had a problem) . I also tried to encode it using Canopus procoder but the same problem occured, garbled audio. I also tried to extract the audio using virtualdub but it couldnt recognise the audio format, and when I used GSpot to get audio information then it also couldnt recognise the audio. I also tried CCE but it bombs out halfway through the encoding process for no reason. As a last resort I ran it through WINAVI and it worked fine although I want to be able to encode it using a better program so I can get better video quality.
Could it be anything to do with the AVI type(type 1 instead of type 2). I dont know what the difference is but I cant think of anything else. I no longer have the original tape so can't re-extract the avi as something else. Any Ideas?

Cheers

Try DV Type 2. TMPGEnc doesn't like Type 1. You can use the Canopus converter to change to Type 2. https://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=Canopus_DV_File_Converter . I believe VD needs Type 2 also.

Thanks, i'll give that a try

is there any quality loss when converting from type 1 to type 2?

There's no difference between 1 and 2 besides how the audio is stored, otherwise they are identical.
