Okay, I'm using Virtual Dub to put the audio into WAV format for my SVCD files like the tutorial said but the movie is two hours long so I had to split it which is no big deal but I got the first half working good 45 mins of the movie with good video and audio...now I'm ready for the second half which is about an hour and I do the audio first I left off at frame 64815 on the first cd so i started at 64815 on the second cd for audio but when I save the file its playing somewhere a little bit ahead of 64815, I've set it to start frame so many times over and over, its annoying. I can't find any help for it on here either. If you know please post.

First of all, we got self-contradicting info. Is your movie over two hours long or just 105 minutes?
If you need to put your SVCD on two, three or four CDs, you dont' really need to split audio file two, three, or four times. Encode your video stream, encode your audio stream, let your muxer do the cutting for you. You don't have to work hard to find out exact in and out frames for each disc..... -
Well its 2 hours not just 1 hour or I'd be smooth sailing =(, its 2 hours! I use TMPGenc To split the video but of course I need an audio source and when I use Virtual Dub I set the frame for the second half to the end of the second half for the sound and its not in sync at all with the video...if you get what I mean at all. Is there an easier way to do this? I mean I can't just make one audio file for the entire thing because I have to split it so if I used the same audio file for the second half the audio would be from the first part of the movie!

Thanks for all the help but I'm not getting the answer I really need. Here I'll explain better then maybe someone will be kind enough to help.
Steps I took
1. Used VirtualDub to get audio for first hour of movie
2. Used TMPGenc to encode video and use audio source I made into wav on VD
3. Waited 4 hours...
4. Burnt w/ Nero
Conclusion: Worked excellent, good video, good sound
Now for the second hour! (THE PROBLEM)
1. Used VirtualDub started at an hour into the movie where I left off and got the audio but then I played the wav file and it was in the wrong place like a minute or so off! I tried like 10 times and the frame was exact!
so I can't get to step 2,3,4 because Step 1 isnt working as it did the first time, why not? This is the right way, right? -
There is an audio offset setting in TMPGenc under source range - if you have timed the audio shift you can add some time or subtract some time (enter time in milliseconds which is 1/1000 sec) and you can get it back in sync.

Why don't you just use dvd2avi. Create your .d2v project, load into TMPGenc, select the SVCD template. Use the source range option to select the first half of the movie. Put this into a batch file. Go back, select the second half of the movie (through source range). Add this to the same batch file as the first half. Click start, and walk away from the computer. When the batch completes, you will have two separate .mpg files of perfect quality.

The thing is though, I'm not having problems encoding video at all. I don't want to use Virtual Dub for video its quality isn't as good as TMPGenc. I need to know how to split the audio up for the seperate video files, and I'm doing the audio seperate not the video, I just do the audio then put the audio with the video source and its goes...whats wrong with that?

I understand that you're not having problems with encoding the video, but if you follow my method from my previous posts, you'll do esentially the same thing you're doing now, but better/easier. you won't have to worry about splitting audio files and the like, and you'll only have to do one encode. it's an excellent method for what you're trying to do.
follow this guide:

In TMPGenc you can select video source and audio source I'm doing one video at a time so each one will fit one disc and not be to large man, so I encode audio for the first one and it works but on the second it starts off all out of sync in virtualdub even though you start at the frame the sound comes from another...that tour you gave me seemed to long...but i had an idea...i could do the entire audio file in VDUB and the entire video in TMPGenc, mix them in TMPGenc actually so the audio is the audio done from VDUB and the video encoded at the same time if you know what I mean...then just download a splitter and split the files that way wouldn't that be easier? Also I dont want to loose quality
-
and could i just set it to do that in TMPGenc split it all at the same time like two different files under one encoding.???? that would be AWESOME. but use the same audio source from vdub
sorry if i lost u guys -
TAKING THE WAV FILE THAT VDUB MADE AND YOUR MOVIE FILE AND ENCODING THEM TOGETHER WITH TMPGENC WOULD BE EASIEST. DO THE WHOLE MOVIE AT ONCE.
THEN IN TMPGEN CLICK FILE-- MPEG TOOLS -- SELECT MERGE&CUT TAB.
YOU CAN CUT YOUR FULL LENGTH MOVIE INTO TWO PARTS TO PUT ON 2 CD'S.
YOU DONT NEED TO DOWNLOAD A SPLITTER IF YOU ALREADY HAVE TMPGENC -
Wow, thanks THATS EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thanks to everyone else also for trying to help. The ammount of feedback on this site is amazed me. Paypal donatation to the max. =)
p.s sorry for being a pain. -
Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your time and patience. I was able to demux an AVI in VDub, encode the video in TMPG by itself, encode the audio by itself in TMPG (TooLame) and mux the files back together in BBMPEG. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do this on any regular basis as my computer is hopelessly underpowered. I tried a two hour movie I had and it said something like 14 hours to save the wav file
