question on mpeg to avi..

[sunmiztres]

I was wondering is there a tool out there that will take a mpeg and turn it into a avi with audio without quality lost? i used dvd2avi and the vfapi but i lose the audio becasue the d2v file i get from dvd2avi dos not include to audio. Anyone esle have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you could possibly give

What are you aiming to do?

Do you mean take an MPEG as big as a whole DVD, and convert it with no quality loss to an avi file?

Well, it's going to take a lot of discspace, but you could use VirtualDubMod to open the MPEG2 file (use SmartRipper or something similar to rip the DVD to one vob on your hard drive if you need to), and then output to an avi in a format such as HuffyUV (which is lossless).

This will be a massive file though. Very, very big!!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something - what are you actually trying to achieve?

cheers,

thanks for the info, it looks like virtualdub will do the trick. what i am needing is something to create avi from mpeg. i have alot of small clips from a dv camcorder that i want to make into avi's.
