Sound NIGHTMARE

[DrFresh2]

I have this avi file (Tom & Jerry Medley - found on eDonkey...) where the soundtrack is in 32kHz 8bit mono. Want to convert it to SVCD using TMPGEnc. Works fine, TMPGenc accepts the file and converts it. But sound is terrible. Sounds like its sampled with at a very low frequenzy. The original avi sound fine when played. Now I then tried to convert it using VirtualDub as a frameserver, int it converting sound to 41.1 kHz, 16 bit, stereo asuming that TMPGEncs conversion was bad. I get the same lousy result though. Tried using an intermediate avi file as well - same result. The intermediate avi sounds great when played. I'm really confuesed on this one. Any ones got a clue

DrFresh2,

Did you download your avi from the net? Sometimes download file is very tricky. I have two suggestions. Try it and let me know.

1) Use an external audio encoder (TooLame). It works with TMPGEnc.

2) Use TMPGEnc to mux the audio from the original avi with the encode video that you made.

Good Luck
