change from avi to mpeg

[pyro]

is there any other programmes that can be used to change avi files to mpeg ones? im currently using tmpgenc but the files that come out have no sound. n nero can't burn 2 or more avi files together.

Check the TOOLS section.

look for mpeg encoders in tools ...


tmpgenc is very good encoder -- chances are , if there is no sound , its not the encoders fault...

I suggest using AviSynth to join your AVI files, and letting TMPGEnc run the AviSynth script.

a1=AVISource("d:capcap1.avi")+AVISource("d:capcap2.avi")

Check your file with Gspot, the audio is probably AC3. Get the AC3 codec and install it. Load your avi file into Goldwave, save the audio to wav and use the wav as the audio source for TMPGEnc.

That's what I would recommend...although I've never used goldwave before. I just use virtualdub to accomplish the same thing.

where can i get this AC3 codec? and also, can someone pls tell me how to use AVISynth?

[Tommyknocker]

You get codecs from the Tools section at left. The AviSynth guide is here.

Dude,
Tmpgenc cannot handle AVI sound directly cause the AVI sound ould be a 2 channel or a AC3 or MP3 or whatever. So you need to extract the voice and then encode using Tmpegenc. Somehow some people start believeing that TmpegEnc can do everything. Give it a break and read here http://www.gkhull.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/avitosvcdguide.htm

The ac3 codec you need is the AC3 ACM Decompressor , click on the name of it there and it will take you to it.

When TMPGenc arrives you should change the priority if the Direct Show Multimedia Filter to a higher priority , if you don't you will probably get no sound. Have a look HERE to see how to do it.

When you are using TMPGenc and you select the source range , as you move the slider along you should see your audio in the form of a green line under the preview window if the line stays flat you will have no audio , and if the line alters then your output will have audio.

Weel, I really dont mean to stir up a debate but on the other hand correct me if I am wrong.
I did the same thing with an AVI myself which had a 2channel stereo sound and 48000 Hz audio sampling rate. And my Directshow filter on TMpgEnc was high priority (priority 2) and I still did not get sound. I have been doing some reading around and then I came to know that TMpgEnc cannot handle AVI sound directly. Well I also very well know that it all depends upon the audio sample rate actually. So if the audio sample rate is 44100 Hz which is a standard VCD sample rate (WAV) then TMpgEnc willl handle it else it wont. And this is not the case with atleast 95% of AVI's I come across most having a 48000 Hz sampling rate. So, the guide's link that i have given will solve the problem so completely to practiacally annihilate any questions or doubts.Thus the purpose of my previously short reply.

Due regards

I pesonally am a big fan of TMPGenc Plus. Now wether it's down to what codecs and filters I have on my PC . I can throw any file I have into it and I get sound . ( Just before I wrote this I loaded a file that had 48K 5 channel ac3 into it and the sound showed in the preview , If it shows in the preview then it outputs the sound)

I wouldn't do it that way , by choice I prefer to have ac3 on my DVDs so I would seperate the sound and use ac3 in the authoring stage.

But its just that TMPGenc WILL accept various types of audio. It may be the case that certain types of audio may have sync problems after encoding. But that wasn't the point.

TMPGEnc can handle it alright, it's just touchy sometimes, particularly with variable bitrate audio. Now, if you just said you prefer not to let TMPGEnc do the audio, I'm right there with you. I normally extract the audio in VirtualDub, convert with ffmpegGUI, and author using elementary streams.

I say "normally", but actually I've come to the conclusion AVIs from the usual source are not at all worth the trouble. And the fun of playing with them has worn off. :P

[ricky1756]

there is no per se "avi Sound" it can be anything from mp2 to ac3

[kulon41]

i used to be able to convert avi (even with AC3) to svcd or vcd directly using TMPGENC....however, after i reinstalled my XP, now i cam not getting sound with the avi files which has AC3...i've already moved DirectShow Multimedia File Reader to the top in the Enviromental Setting....can someone please help...thanks...

TMPGEnc Plus 2.521.58.169
Divx 5.11
VobSub 2.23
AC3Filter_1.01a_RC2
AC3ACM v0.7
(also tried ffdshow-20040520, same thing)

Install the AC3 ACM Decompressor and try again.
