audio problems

[Norfy]

Hope someone can help.

I just seperated the audio from the .avi and saved it as 16-bit signed .wav using Goldwave . Now when I try to load it into tmpgenc it keeps crashing my pc.. I've never had this problem before, and I do the same for each film (extract the audio, then put the .avi and .wav together using tmpgenc). I have the tsunami codec pack installed.....The .avi part loads fine....so i have perfect video but cannot get any sound for it

Any suggestions please?

Do you get the same error when you extract the wav using a different program such as virtualdub

Yes I do....but the .wav file that i extracted plays perfectly in goldwave. I have listened to it most of the way through and there don't seem to be any bugs or problems with it.

I get the same problem.
I have extracted audio from an .avi file of the movie City of God.
The video easily conerted to .m2v separately.
When I tried to convert the video and audio together in tmpgenc the program would freeze up.
When I did video separately in .m2v it worked fine.
I have extracted the audio with virtual dub and avitowav and it makes a wav file that I am only able to play in Windows media player.
I cannot load it into Cool edit pro or tmpenc. In Tmpgenc using ES it will freeze. On system stream it says linear pcm cannot be outputted as system stream.
I have loaded the .m2v and the wav file into dvdit and it loads and previews fine, however, when I go to make a dvd it says .wav files must have a sample depth of 16 bits. I dont know how to do this when the file will not load into cool edit and it is already at 48000hz?

Does anyone know what is wrong with this wav file?

It may be possible when it was in .avi format it was ac3?
If that is possible. The file name had an ac3 in there, but the extension was avi.

Thank you.
