file Indexing screwed, whats going on...

[jimdx]

Hi all

I have a couple of 45 min avi's, yet when I try and convert them using tmpg it says theres 125000 frames and the jobs gonna take about 7 hours.

The avaerage for a file of this size is about 3hrs.

After re encoding the AVI using VD (direct stream copy of video and audio)the file indexing seems to be fixed, tmpg reports the number of frames correct yet when complete no sound. After more playing in VD I decided to save a WAV and AVI then join the two together after loading the wav into an editor (to amplify it) I find the Audio is only 17mins, a bit rate calculation confirms this, yet going back to the original file this will play fine with sound all the way through, why couldn't VD extract all the sound?

Anyone got any ideas whats going on and how to fix it. The files were downloaded from the web but as a continuous download and not resumed 60 times.

Any help greatly apprieciated

Cheers
Jim

Continued from earlier post

the correct number of frames is around 62000, tmpg is setup to create palvcd.

What i need more than anything is to be able to extract all the audio, it almost seems like the audio is spanned over 2 files
