I have been trying to find some program that will work?

Tiger man,

You need virtualdub to extract the audio and uncompress it, and tmpgenc to encode both the video and extracted audio file. Both programs are free and highly reccomended by experienced users in these forums.

You will find numerous guides on this site on how to use both programs.

Have fun

al_capone,

If you got a 'file not supported' error it may be you havent got the necessary codecs. I use the nimo codec pack, seems to contain all the relevant codecs.

Hope this helps

I have the nemo pack loaded but still get the "format not supported error"

Is there anything else that should be loaded?

ok use this guide
Ok the first step to making a perfect conversion of a divx dvd rip to an mpeg-1 vcd format is
1) open up divfix and put strip index and rebuild index ok and that’s it.
2) Now open up tmpeg and close the wizard. Then where it says audio source put browse and put the movie there. Then you to go file and put out put to file wave.
3) Now once you have the audio its gonna be like 900 mb
4) Now open up virtual-Dub and drag the regular movie in there. Then put direct stream copy and in audio it says wave audio. Click on it and you enter the wave audio that you made with tmpeg. Then you put file save as then you name it.
5) Once you do that you will have the movie combined with the wave audio. The size should be like 1.5 gb or something. Then when you have the full thing you can split it with virtual dub or tmpeg. But I would do it with virtual dub cause I haven’t done it with tmpeg and it might come out wrong in tmpeg.
6) Ok now that the files are split with virtual dub you delete the whole one, the wave audio and if you want to the divx rip but if I were you I would burn that shit first.
7) Now that you have the split files make them to vcd with tmpeg like I showed you and that’s it.

First, I believe the problem is the Nimbo pack. I have had to uninstall it and the problems and errors referred to go away.
Cecilio_87,

I have done the virtualdub, to wav file for audio, then to TMPG with toolame and SSRC many, many times and it works fine, as long I rid myself of thje Nimbo pack. Sometimes I use toolame gui to compress the wave file seperately.
I do like the idea of what you do with DIVFIX first. That would let someone know if there is a problem with the source file before wasting a lot of time.
Tell me about any other advantages of doing the strip and rebuild in divfix ? Could that make any improvement in the divx file, or is it more of a preventative measure ?
I am VERY curious about your technique, where it appears that the audio file does not get compressed ?
Please tell me about your technique versus mine as far as results go.
