No audio when converting in TMPGenc

[devodvd]

So, ive run into an annyoing little problem. I recently installed my new Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card and disabled my onboard C-Media sound chip. I had to do this because the C-Media chip distorted the audio when capturing with my 8500DV card. So after installing the Santa Cruz card i get no audio when converting any AVi file to MPEG1 or MPEG2. This is really really annoying since i capture to DivX. Anyone know what the problem could be...? Really need the help. Thanx guys

Do you mean you get no sound while the movie is converting?

Because I dont think there is are converters that would play audio while doing it. It would sound like crap anyways.

no, thats not what i meant at all. After i have converted an AVI file the is only picture, no audio. Thats the problem. Dont want to have audio while converting, who would want that?

Hello

I think you have to use virualdub. Look on this site after how too use virtualdub. I had the same problem but this solve this.

I am a nwbie, so feel free to take my advice with grain of salt. I would suggest saving your .wav file from your original .avi file.

Next, using TMPGEnc, use your original .avi as input video, and your newly saved .wav file as your audio, create a new MPEG-1 or -2 video file that should have the original audio.

i'll give it a try. I captured the audio with virtualdub and converted the video only in tmpgenc and tried to multiplex them together in tmpgenc, but it didnt work. I also noticed that my tmpgenc is really out of sync. I converted a 1:35 minutt video from avi to mpg and the resulting file was 3:21 minuttes long. I dont get it. after it had converted 1:35m it continued till 3:21 used just the last frame from the original file. Anyone had similar problems?

I remember something like that. I had accidentally created extra audio to my file. If Virtual Dub (VDub) says your video is 1:35 long, load your audio into an audio editing program and see how long it is as well.

If your audio is too long, you can edit out the unwanted audio. If your video is too long, you can use VDub to edit out the unwabted video.

It seems to be the audio to me, from what you have told us so far, so I would start with the audio first and make sure the audio file is 1:35 as it should be.

You aren't suppose to be multiplexing the audio and video later. When you got the audio file from virtual dub you should have just encoded it using the wav file as the audio source and the avi file as the video source.

Immortal when he did that, the audio and video were out of synch. Stay with us, or you may get left behind.

Tommy, what he said was he tried to multiplex the mpeg file he created and the wav file he created instead of using the avi file and the wav file to create a mpeg file. The evidence is when he said the 1.35 movie turns into a 3hr movie and that fact that when i got to the last frame it kept converting without any more video.

[Tommyknocker]

How did you get hours and minutes out of minutes and seconds?

Your losing me now. As I said in my last post instead of using the audio file from virtual dub to create an mpeg file with the avi file he has he tried to just merge the already messed up mpeg file he created with the audio file from virtual dub. As he says, "I captured the audio with virtualdub and converted the video only in tmpgenc and tried to multiplex them together in tmpgenc, but it didnt work." And as he says the movie is 1 hour and 35 minutes but when he made a mpeg file out of it it turned in to 3 hours and 21 minutes while using the last frame of the file to continue encoding. As he says, "after it had converted 1:35m it continued till 3:21 used just the last frame from the original file". This shows that he didn't use the audio file from virtual dub but instead tried to use only the avi file to create the mpeg file. What you told him to do was correct but he just didn't follow it.
