    Im trying to convert this avi file into a dvd compliant mpeg-2. The avi I believe is encoded with xvid. So I load it into tmpegenc wizard w/o a problem and hit next a few times. The video is 46min but it comes out to be 1 hour and 36 minutes! I'm not sure why either. I play it on windows media player and its fine, 46 minutes. Any way to fix this because it doesnt encode properl;y

    I would run it through Gspot and see what it says. The audio file may be the problem. TMPGEnc doesn't like some audio formats.

    Audio says: MPEG Layer-3

    MP3 audio and TMPGEnc don't get along. Take a look at this thread:https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=941122&highlight=tmpgenc+mp3#941122

    Can I be a bit pedantic and say that

    VBR MP3 audio and TMPGenc don't get along.

    Does anyone know if using external encoders (toolame for MP2, Lame for MP3, ssrc for sample rate) in TMPGEnc fixes this issue (ie. the issue is TMPGEnc's in-house audio encoder)?
    If in doubt, Google it.

    Ok I made the audio into a pcm unsigned 16 bit stereo wav. I loaded it in and the length of the movie surely is 46 minutes which is expected. However when I do the actual encode I see the movie in the preview screen normall and then it becomes all black. The movie is still being encoded since I see the frame number moving but then after another 10 seconds or so it stops and I get an error saying "Cannot Read Video". Any ideas?

    You must have the 'Direct Show Multimedia Filter ' set to the highest priority .

    Also did you check your file for Bad Frames ?

    Just changed the direct show filter and it seems to be working!

    I had it on 2 which was tied with my dvd2avi plugin so I made the directshow set to 3 and so far so good. I better not speak too soon though as the encode isnt finished yet ^^*
