TMPGEnc (2.54) keeps detecting a totally wrong # of frames

[firewars]

I just don't know why this is happening:

TMPGEnc (2.54) just keeps detecting a totally wrong number of frames when loading in a .avi-movie (haven't tried others yet).
This is the first time this happens when wanting to convert a movie into a XVCD.

Example: The movie is 1:02h long, it says it's 172 minutes long which is 3 times more than the real time.
The frames of the movie were at 247xxx frames while the real number of frames was at 84xxx frames.

Please help me out or tell me what could be the problem

Use Virtualdub to create a new copy of the movie with no audio. Use vdub again to extract the audio to a wav file. (look in the guides/howto's for details of both operations) Supply the seperate files to Tmpgenc, usually fixes this kind of problem

Umm, I somehow can't find such on this website.
Can you help me out (link) ? :D

frameserve your movie using avisynth
avisource("c:\path\file.avi")

Sorry for my pretty stupid sounding questions, however, I've now downloaded Avisynth and "installed" it using the .reg-file, what to do now?
I've got no idea on how to use it or something..

I think your audiofile is vbr,so that's why your file is getting too big,do as Bugster says and save your audio with virtualdub as .wav and use this as your audio file in Tmpg.
I had the same problems and this solved it!;Thanx again Bugster:-)

If I just knew how to save the audio-part of a movie

[ransjooman]

Load the avi in Vdub. Audio >> Full processing mode then File >> Save wav. This will be a big uncompressed wav, and it WILL work. You are likely saving a compressed wav. Check the size. Typically it should be ~ 1GB.
