tmpegnc sound

[spiderman03]

everytime i try to encode a file using tmpgnc i get no sound, but i check and the sound is there.i even use virtual dub to extract the sound and add it on and still no sound.....any ideas

Tmpg is useless for audio encoding. So if you have no sound with it this is even better. Convert the sound separately with dedicated audio encoder and mix it with the video from tmpg

i don't understand what do you mean

i don't understand what do you mean

Reading again your post I am not surprized you didn't understand. What is tmpegnc? Never heard of such. Maybe you mean Tmpgenc? If so then you are trying to encode your source file to an mpeg file. Your source file, presumably an avi (here of course I am guessing), content in fact two files - a video file and a sound (audio) file - which are multiplexed (muxed) with each other in order to produce a single avi file. When you put it as source in tmpgenc and it encode the audio (first) and the video file and then it multiplexes them again in a single mpeg file. The encoding of the audio file with tmpgenc give you not so good audio output. That is I recomend to use an encoder which is encoding audio only. You will get better quality (first benefit) and you will avoid problems as you described. Once you have a video file as output from tmpgenc and audio file output from an audio encoder, you mux them together (with tmpgenc mpeg tools) to a single mpeg file. But if your aim is not only a single mpeg file then you should proceed regarding your aim (which I do not know).

After encoding you "get no sound ". Using what testing method?

You "check and the sound is there". Using what testing method?

The difference between these two testing environments will most likely yield the answer.

Use the TooLame add-in for encoding audio, and SSRC add-in for frequency adjustments. These will yield better quality. However, they do not typically solve problems relating to no audio whatsoever being present, you have to solve that problem first.

It would help to have some idea of your process, whether you have ever gotten correct sound output, and most particularly the answers to the first two questions.

Check your source with Gspot and report the audio type.

If your source is MP3 audio, then to avoid problems it's usually better to extract the audio to wav and use that as the audio source: http://members.dodo.net.au/~jimmalenko/ExtractAudio.htm

If your source is AC3 then you can extract that and use that for your DVD without converting: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/186739.php
