I am trying to figure out how to get the Ringy sound quality of my VCD's to a NICE clear sound w/o the ringy can type sound. I had seen where someone else blamed TMPgenc's audio encoder for the problem and said use the 'tooLame' encoder for TMPGenc. Well... I tried this and noticed it help VERY slightly but the ringy sound is still there and the volume level of the audio seemed to be even lower. I am not worried about the audio level because I know I can just boost the wav file level before encoding. I just want someone to PLEASE tell me how to encode a VCD w/ TMPGenc w/o the artifact sound added! PLEASE any suggestions??

use virtual dub to get the audio out of the movie and make a .wav, click audio, full processing mode, then file,save .wav, do a search for other ideas. there are many ways. but this seems to be the most popular.

Apreciate the reply! Problem is that the audio is already wave. The *.wav file was created when frameserved from DVD2AVI from my DVD rip VOB files.

When you created the wav in dvd2avi did you set it to do the 48kHz->44100kHz conversion? If not I'm assuming you let TMPGenc do it. If so this is the cause of your problem. TMPGenc's frequency converter gives often gives audio a very metallic sound. To solve this either do the conversion in dvd2avi (slooooow!!!) or get an external frequency converter and run it through TMPGenc. (options/environmental settings\external tool. Shibach (ssrc.exe) is a very good and very fast frequency converter.
Also is your audio altogether too soft or are certain parts too loud and certain parts too soft. If its the latter you need to normalize, which can be done in dvd2avi. -
Thank you ADAM! I have not tried it yet but I am very grateful for your reply. I was not aware of the problem you spoke of. I will try using the ssrc.exe you specified. The audio was altogether low. I will try your normalize option idea. THANKS have a good day.
