toolame-02j

[F1118]

Is there a tutorial for toolame-02j anywhere ... I read the website but I can't figure out how to use it. The TMPGEncs AVI to VCD Tutorial said to use TooLame to encode the audio because when encoding audio with TMPGEncs the speech doesn't match lip movement. I've tested it and it seems that the tutorial was correct. TMPGEncs is not the best audio encoder. I downloaded toolame-02j because I read there was a compatibility problem between the newest version of TooLame and TMPGEncs.

Thanks

I think way too many people rip way too hard on TMPGEnc when it comes to AUDIO encoding.

Although in their defense (those that rip on TMPGEnc) I do believe that some older versions of TMPGEnc were not as good as the more recent versions.

Just make sure you do the following:

Under OPTIONS (across the top) go to ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING ...
Then go to the AUDIO ENGINE tab and for SAMPLING FREQUENCY CONVERTER click on HIGH QUALITY (LOW SPEED)

You should only have to do this once. After that TMPGEnc remembers the setting.

I haven't done MP2 audio in a while but when I did it always sounded fine to me when using 224kbps and STEREO sound.

I sometimes do use LPCM audio and again I think it sounds fine.

I don't really see a need to use an external program.

Do you use ES (VIDEO+AUDIO) or System (VIDEO+AUDIO) ???

Depends on what you are trying to do. For VCD or SVCD I would do SYSTEM but for DVD then do ES

Well I see a little difference between the fast and slow audio encoding. It's still off a little though.

I honestly don't see how audio encoding in TMPGEnc could throw off sync ... especially if frameserving the AVI from VirtualDub (I use VirtualDubMod when I do that) ... unless it isn't in sync in VirtualDub and/or you are doing something "odd" like a framerate change from PAL to NTSC or something like that.

I agree with that ... I mean, I can tell the speech and lip movement is a little off but it's good enough. It's really not that bad and you have to really watch to notice it. Thanks for all the advice.
