avi to DVD (TMPGenc mcf template) - help!

[Dolphine]

okay - i have a divx movie avi file and using TMPGenc I am trying to convert it to a DVD compliant mpg file so that I can burn it using my Pioneer A04. The thing is - after conversion - the video is fine but there is no audio?

I have set TMPGenc to the all the normal settings and I have used the DVD (NTSC) mcf template as the divx avi is also NTSC.

Before anyone says anything - yes I know the divx avi is lower quality - so there is no point converting it to a dvd compliant file - but the thing is i want to regardless of quality - all i want to know is where did the audio go?

Strip the audio from the avi using virtualdub. To do this open the avi in virtualdub and:

Audio-> full processing mode
Audio->conversion (48Khz) (if reqd)
Audio->compression (PCM - NONE)
File-> save wav.

Use this as the audio input to TmpGenc and encode.

If this doesn't fix the problem ask again.

(NOTE: If vdub gives an error when trying to convert, make a note of it and search the forums for the answer)
