XviD movie shown as 2x long in TMPGenc (I read the sticky)

[Bix]

I always save the audio (which is already 48 khz) in Full Processing Mode in Virtualdub and frameserve the video with Virtualdub or Avisynth, but TMPGenc reports the movie length as twice what it actually is and botches the encode to DVD. Any advice? DivxToDVD has no problem with these files.

Thanks!

You frameserve with AVISynth and it detects the length wrong? Never heard of that.

Anyway, just use the source range setting to let it know the real length.

Yup.

There isn't blackspace or anything after the movie proper, the actual movie is 2x the proper length. How do I set the length properly in source range in this case?

Guess you don't. Must be something in your avisynth script. Might help if you could post it.

Something simple like:
avisource("whatever.avi",false)

should have no effect on the framecount or runtime though.

I've had that happen to me sometimes when the file's audio is Mp3 VBR - somehow TMPGEnc seems confused as to the actual length of the movie, and encodes something twice as long with a black screen for the second part.

My solution: (cumbersome but works) - Extract the audio through Virtualdub, convert it to PCM audio using dbPowerAmp (great freeware app by the way), encode in TMPGENC using original video on one side (minus sound) - frameserved if necessary, PCM audio on the other. Works perfectly and avoids out of synch too.

Cheers

I already save the audio in full processing mode (PCM) w/ VirtualDubMod. Also, I get the problem before I even add the audio. Thanks anyway.
