"TTT" Screener XVid problems

[Svensson]

I am trying to convert "TTT" Xvid screener to VCD. When I try to extract the audio in VDub I get this message,
"Virtual Dub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during the processing for better combatibility. This may introduce up to 13743 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate : 136.2 19.2 kbps)"
I tried extracting the audio anyway but as said it was not in sync with the video when I encoded them together in TMPGE. I have done many searches and tried to find the exact answer to my problem here in the forum. I have found a few posts that come close but nothing really has worked for me. I am also just tried encoding the movie in TMPGE without extracting the audio but TMPGE freezes and crashes my computer. I also tried a way to recompress the audio with Besweet but it did not work or I did it incorrectly. If anyone can help me with step by step instructions that would be great. Or if there is another post here that addresses my problem could you please point me in the right direction to find it. Sorry if this topic has already been addressed elsewhere here. I almost feel like giving up after trying so many different ways to fix this problem without success. Thank you in advance for your help.

Xvids are a real bugger to convert to VCD/SVCD, mostly becasue of the audio sync problems.

There are 2 methods that you can try both using TMPEGnc...

1. Try frameserving using VDub, extract the audio to a .wav, install the avs handler from the aux.setup in Vdub, Crop and resize using the filters in VDub, 352x240 NTSC or 352x288 PAL, but seeing as it's an xvid it's more than likely near that resolution anyway so you won't have to Crop and resize, then just goto file/startframeserver, click ok, give it a name like TT.vdr and leave Vdub open, then start up TMPEGnc load the .VDR into it, and select the Audio.wav as your audio, Choose your template Pal or Ntsc, if you want you can use a Birate Calulator to give you the birate for fitting it onto how many cd's you want to use, then enter that value into TMPEGnc, choose either 2 pass VBR or CBR, but either way it will take a long time to encode.

2. Use DVD2SVCD with TMPEGnc and make an SVCD, there are plenty of guides on using that, one thing though, make sure you use DVD2SVCD 1.1.1 build 2, for converting the newer versions don't handle Xvids unless they have fix it.

Either way it will take a long time to encode because your using TMPEGnc so i would suggest you go on Vacation for about 2 weeks and by the time you get home it should be all done :P

Hey,

Sounds like you have an xVid with an AC3 soundtrack. Use VirtualDub to extract this sound to a WAV file - rename the wav file to <name>.ac3, and then use something like Headac3 to convert the AC3 file to a true PCM wav format (assuming you want to encode to vcd format).

Once this is done, use the wav file created as your audio source in virtual dub, set whatever filters etc you want, frameserve to whatever app you like (I use CCE) and encode away to your heart's content.

Hope this helps,

B

How can you tell that he has an xvid? Will G-spot give this information?

don't you just hate it when newbies come on here and their very first post is about warez?
