Audio Problem with encoding homemade transfers

[msuda74]

Can someone please help me? I have ripped dvds no problem and encoded them with Tmpgenc and had no audio problems what-so-ever.
But when I try to encode a home movie from my vcr the avi that I make plays fine-picture and sound on my computer. But when I encode it using Tmpgenc to make a VCD the picture is fine but the sound makes crackling sounds like it is distorted or too loud but the sound is coming from directly the vcr. I tried adjusting the priority setting of the wave reader under enivronmental settings and still have the same problem. Other settings are: frequency is 44100 hz , 224kbps When I do dvd ripping and encoding using Tmpgenc I have not problems at all. Please someone help me? It's driving me crazy. If it is something simple that I'm doing wrong please forgive me and reply. I'm using Tmpgenc 2.02 . I have tried using SCMPX as an external audio encoder and STILL had the problem. I'm running a p4 1.5 ghz 512 ddram. Thanks for reading this.

Have you tried toolame?

I couldn't seem to get tooLAME to even work. I downloaded the h version., but there was no toolame.exe file. The closest file I saw when I opened the download was toolame.c file. What am I doing wrong? Also, when I finish downloading the h version the type of file I download ends in .tar What kind of file is that? Winzip asks me how do I want to open this file. I'm running windows me. Does toolame open in DOS mode? I tried to follow the instruction provided on this website and it looks quite easy. I know that this can't be that hard, but what am I missing or doing wrong? Please help.

How do you capture from VCR ?
Sound (punt) like a audio driver problem.
You may need to load the DOS emulation driver for your sound card.

To capture from vcr I use IOMAgic Video Capture Card. When I capture from the card the sound is fine when the avi is played on the computer it is ONLY distorted when I try to convert it to a mpeg file using TMPGEnc. I have tried Ulead, Panasonic, and Xingmpeg encoders and had no problem. converting. I prefer using TMPGEnc because I'm comfortable using it for its tools to edit files. The problem is something inside TMPGEnc.
