Problems Converting Divx avi to DVD with TMPEGEnc & VDub

[Shamone MO FO]

Hello All,

I just cant do this AARRRGGHH!!

Right I have a DivX file and I want to convert to DVD with TMPEG. What I have done is rip the sound out using Virtual Dub to a WAV file the loaded the files into TMPEG to convert to DVD

The Settings I used in TMPEG are;

DVD PAL
CBR MPEG-1 Layer II Audio (MP2)
Other Settings - Keep Aspect Ration
Video Resolution 720x576
Average Video Bitrate 4570
Audio Bitrate 384
Using 99 % of Disk 4199.66 MB

Basically the video quality is great but the sound loses sync. I was told that the source maybe NTSC so I've tred converting to both PAL and NTSC and still exactly the same! I've converted it to MPEG VCD and this is fine???

Running GSPOT on the avi file ;

Codec is Div3/Div4 - Codec is installed
Aspect 640x304
Bitrate 604
Frames/sec 25.000
Ausio Bir#trate 128Kb/s CBR 44100Hz

I am really at a loss on this now,.........PLEASE HELP

Looking at the above info whay does TMPEG say MPEG 1? isn't DVD MPEG 2?



Thanks in Advance

The AVI is PAL too, so no need for frame rate conversion.
AVI audio CBR, so no prob there either.
What's left is: How good is the source AVI?
Not a bad/undecodable frame to be found anywhere?
In what way is the audio out of sync?

CBR MPEG-1 Layer II Audio (MP2)
whay does TMPEG say MPEG 1? isn't DVD MPEG 2?

It says audio is mpeg1 layer II, which is just as it should be.

try not to seperate the audio and the video.
just load the avi into virtualdub and select to convert the audio.
and than save the avi.
load the new avi into tmpeg and see how it goes.
good luck

How do I do that with Virtual Dub?

[Heavensent]

*load the avi into virtualdub
*select "video" and "direct stream copy"
*select "audio" and "full processing mode"
*select "audio" and "compression"
*a window will open up, select "no compression" and press "ok'

*select "file" and "save as avi" , choose a name for the new avi and save.

hope this helps

I shal give it a go!

I tired with Canopus Procoder but when I checked it this morning it still had 35 hours left of encoding from avo to DVD PAL MPEG2..Hmmmm think its set to high on a quality setting somewhere???

But I'll give the Vdub thing a go and resave the avi.

Ok I've used Virtual Dub to uncompress the audio and loaded it into TMPEGEnc and still having the same problem with the audio Sync........Anything else I can try?

long process but :

in virtual dub scan for bad frames under video in the menu
if bad frames found save both audio and video by direct stream copy
bad frames will be masked

if no bad frames then take audio in full processing mode and then check conversion (not compression) and make sure that your audio is 16 bit and not 8 bit (8bit is the cuase of most problems) then sav as wav. use trhis wav as audio source

reopen file and choose new wav as audio source under audio menu. play the film in vdub if all is insynch then encode. If not in synch save film parts where movie is in synch and use audio interleaving to adjust synch in parts that are not. encode each fixed part and then author in sequence

for example first 10 minutes in synch then save first ten minutes as is as avi1, then next thirty minutes out of synch then use interleave and save the next thirty minutes as avi2, and so on.


to avoid a lot of this open video in goldwave and save as wav, then use this wav in vdub
