[playndirty101]

when i try to convert it to mpeg, "audio file" section- i get an error message from TMPGenc -cannot open or unsupported.

please help!

Your actually able to download a movie from EDonky??? I have been tring for ever without luck. Anyway... thats my problem lets discuss yours.

Assuming that you don't have a corrupt download then simply rename the extention and try again.

Example:
I Am Sam (2002).CD1.DVL.ShareReactor
I Am Sam.mpg

[playndirty101]

changed to i am sam1.mpg

same problem....

Is the download a DIVX, if so the audio is probrably compressed. You need to extract it to a wav file, use virtualdub for this. Then when you encode using tmpgenc select the divx file as the video stream and the wav file you extracted as the audio stream.

its a .avi file... how do i know if its a divx?

[playndirty101]

didnt work...anyone?

[playndirty101]

when i tried vdub..this is what i get...

"The request audio compression is not compatible with the input format. Check that the sampling rate and channel count of the input match those of the request format"

first, you should note that this is a 2cd release, so make sure you have both..

about your sound problem: this DVL release has 5.1 AC3 sound. you have to extract and downsample this. cant remember how this is done, but you should check the guides at vcdhelp.com.

hope this helps

[playndirty101]

[Stinky]

there is a guide

[playndirty101]

that headache file is .rar

dang! dont got the prog for it...

[Craig Tucker]

Download winrar that will open it. A rar file is similar to a zip file.

Craig

[playndirty101]

thanks where can i find winrar?

[Stinky]

@playndirty101: don't take this as criticism but you couldn't just use a serach engine? thats how you can find most anything -- WinRAR is available at www.rarsoft.com or any of the download.com type of sites.

It's just you should attempt to help yourself first, then ask.

[playndirty101]

my bad...

[playndirty101]

ok i tried vdub then besweet... i got 37 gig avail. space on my hard-drive..

when using headache, i get a message not enough space?

am i doing something wrong? i follow the instruction provided from here.

[Stinky]

you followed what instructions?

I posted a link to this guide

http://forum.vcdhelp.com/userguides/91588.php

it does not contain any instructions for besweet

did you extract the .ac3 file? did it open in HeadAC3he?

what EXACTLY did you try - please give us every detail otherwise this thread will go on forever if we keep guessing what you did or didn't do

[playndirty101]

i meant the headache file, i followed the your link..

exactly.. but didnt work, said i didnt have enough space.

under 2 pass code.. the default wasn't selected "hybrid", in fact the selection in front of hybrid, sorry at work i cant be specific what that selection is called.

[Stinky]

Ok now that I know how far you got

no idea on the space thing - just make sure your output directory was set to your HD and not a CD Rom or something

if you go to the bottom of that guide and hit the discuss the guide button you will see in the comments someone suggests another program to use other then HeadAC3he ... maybe give that a shot

[playndirty101]

whats the other prog?

Ill give it a shot again tonight.
