Problem with TMPGEnc

[The Monkees]

I am trying to convert some avi files to mpg in order to put them on a DVD, but for some reason it is saying they are way bigger than they are, then when they convert they convert longer than the file is with nothing but a blank screen and then there is no audio on the actual file...

This happened once before but I can't remember what I did

Is there something I can do, or a different program that will do the same thing for me, I've been using TMPGEnc for a long, long time. I don't understand why it is doing this...

Have you checked for MP3 VBR audio? That would explain the problem. If so, save out the audio as a WAV with VirtualDub or VDM and encode it separately from the video, then add it in when you author. I use ffmpeggui to encode the WAV to AC3 and use that with TDA along with the video when authoring. Or do you have a different problem?

I don't really know how to do that, but I am having this problem again and everything I used to do does not work. I was once told to make sure the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader was at the highest priority, now I do this and it says it does not supprot avi files, but if it's not the highest quality it reads them, but there is no audio and takes a very long time.
