Problem with avi to mpg encoding with TMPGenc

[grenadine]

I have an avi file (695 MB, 1h16min duration) that I want to convert to mpg using TMPGenc.

However, the program indicates that the file is very much over 1h16 minutes (it is actually not when read with WMP) and would not fit in a 80 minute CD. It says it will take 5 hours to encode. And after around 1.5 hour, there is an error message. Il tried to read the mpg file that has been created. There is no sound to this file.

I have used TMPGenc previously with similar avi files without any problem.

Anybody can help me with this issue ?

You may have a missing audio codec, so install the Nimo Codec pack

1, load AVI into Vdub and scan for bad frames.
1b If it finds bad frames, set video/audio to streaming and SAVE AS, save out another copy of AVI (1 min or so)

2, Now that the AVI is junk free, load into TMPGENC.
2b Select options > environmental settings
2c click the VFAPI plug-in tab
2d right click the "DirectDraw" and select higher priority, do this several times until its at the top with a value of 4

The video source is the AVI
The audio source is also the AVI, if this is blank, then the movie could be a fake.

If TMPGENC is giving an error, that is because the AVI has junk frames, you need to delete them, this is done at steps 1,1b above. Vdub will save out another copy without the junk frames.
