Convert HQ DivX to mpeg2 or DVD ???? How to do it?

[Jason A]

I have some ultra high quality files in DivX that I want to convert to mpeg2 for DVD...

Converting the video is no prob...its just the audio....I've tried...

Premiere-frameserver-Tmpeg but I get no audio...

or...

Load the AVI directly in Tmpeg but still no sound...

Am I going to have to rip the sound first, then mux it back all together ??

Thanks,
Jason

A lot of those files were compressed to MP3.
You need to get them 2 wav.

One way is to use virtualdub

Set audio to full processing mode and convert to 44000 16 bit stereo.
Set the output to wav.

Video should be set to directstream copy.
Some got synch issues later.

You can FRameserve this if you want.

What I did

Set audio to full processing mode and convert to 44000 16 bit stereo.

Set audio the output to avi (not wav).

Video should be set to directstream copy.

File save as - Save the avi to a new file

Virtualdub will now remux the avi file for you.

I prefer to process separately in tmpg (meaning not frameserve)

This will go fairly fast since the video is not modified. (1/2 hr to 1 hr) max

Should have no problem in tmpgenc.

tmpgenc has a source option if you want to do a sample just cut a portion of the avi using that option and try a clip to a cdrw. Beats waiting xhours for results.


Another optionI don't recommend it but I like to be thorough

Take the existing mpeg and demultiplex in tmpg (file, mpeg tools)
save the video throw away the audio

Do The first step in virtualdub of getting the wav file described earlier.
Convert the wav to mpa (layer II) audio mpeg. You'll need a tool for this
Multiplex the audio and your mpeg video that you saved from the demultiplex using the mpeg tools.

Burn it.

Sorry forgot to warn you

When the wav or new avi is created the file will be large. The audio could take 1 meg by itself. That is normal with uncompressed audio.
