what happpened?

[lucasiga]

ok here's the thing, I started converting .avi files using tmpgenc and then burning then using Sonic MyDVD, and it all went great, but somehow, after I reinstalled windows and all the same programs, whenever I get an avi file and convert it using tmpgenc, the audio dissapears, completly! I have no idea why, altought I might think that this is a problem with the audio layer I choose at the beggining, does anyone have any idea how to fix this??? or can you give me the name of a program that I don't have to pay for that you know it works to convert .avis to mpeg2s?????
Thanks in advanced, Lucasiga

Open your .AVI in GSpot and see if you have a compatable audio codec installed. Also, could you let us know what the audio format is in the files that are giving you trouble?

I would give you the format of the audio file, I just don't know how to get it....do you know any good program that you could recomend me to find this out???

[lucasiga]

also, how do I check if I have the compatible audio codec installed using GSpoy?

[lucasiga]

ok I checked the audio formats and they were all mp3 files, I also checked and it looks like I have the compatible audio codec installed in my computer for it says in stat: 2 compatible codecs installed

I don't know what's wrong with TMPGEnc that it can't read those files - MP3 is a very common format for .AVI and should be read natively by TMPGEnc (I think).

Try removing the audio from your file and saving it as a .WAV. You should definitely be able to feed this into TMPGEnc as your audio source.

Sounds like it could be a problem with VBR mp3 audio. Use virtualdub to save tha audio as an uncompressed wav file. Then use this as your audio source in tmpgenc.

[lucasiga]

I am really new at this, so could you tell me how change the audio to an uncompresed WAV file that using virtualdub???

Choose audio/full processing mode and save wav as in file.

I had the same problem after reinstalling all my software and OS. You have to re-install all the codecs for compatibility reasons. I hate that TMPEGEnc does not recognize MP3 as a Standard.
