Hi! have you tried AVOne Gold? more info:

I have yet tried it, but a friend of mine has lots of .rmvb files and he uses this program. the conversion works, but he says somehow there's a lag between the audio and video. like on the movie it's either you see the person says that word then the voice comes in later or vice versa. so I'm not sure.

if any of you have tried it or plan on trying it, would you be so kind to post comments or ways to fix the issue with the audio not synching? I'd like to know there's a way to solve the problem before trying the program myself. :Þ thanks!

Wow, you resurrected a thread from TWO YEARS ago!

Any way, I've successfully done a bit of conversion from RMVB to MPG, by simply using Real Alternative (w/ latest splitter), AVISynth, feeding TMPGEnc. The result works quite well.

If you have A/V desync problems, then save the audio separately with VDub, then mux it back in after you got the video converted with TMPGEnc.

lol. I did not notice the date at all. but I believe RMVB or RM to MPG is still not easy to do, so I think people would be interested in viewing this thread again. on the other hand, you're very nice to reply with your solution, I really appreciate that, and I'll try those out tonight. your way sounds perfect, but doesn't it take a long time to go back and forth and finally have a converted file?

This thread:

Discusses using EO Video to convert RMVB files to AVI but it can also output MPEG. Later in the thread it talks about using AVISynth and TMPGEnc. I've done the latter and it has always worked without A/V sync errors.

No back and forth at all.

Once Real Alternative is installed (make sure you download the latest Real Splitter from SourceForge or you may get "flashing" problems) you don't touch it.

The AVISynth script is really only 2 lines (actually just 1 line, the other is a comment line). What I do is I have the template already set for VDUB and by loading the RMVB in VDUB with the DirectShow filter template, I confirmed that RMVB fiter works, as well as automateically generated a new AVS file that could be read into TMPGEnc. Checking in VDUB takes maybe 1 minute.

Once loading into TMPGEnc, encoding is painless and is left overnight in batch mode, so there's not really any back and forth.
