no audio when encoding

[ssandhouse]

Hi there---

I have a movie that I want to encode in TMPGenc. The movies plays on my computer with sound but when I put it in tmpgenc to encode it says there is no audio. I do have the codec because I put it in GSpot and it says the codec is there. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What method, programs are you using for the conversion.

What dbvd player are you using to playu it ?

Did you scan and remove bad frames with VDub first?

Did you use a separate wav file as your audio source?

In g-Spot it says the audio codec is ac3. I went into virtual dub to extract the audio and it won't let me do that either. Something about no decompressor. It turns out the video is xvid. I do have that codec also installed. I am fairlyy new to this and it is just getting too confusing. If there is a simple fix, I would love it. There are no bad frames.

You can get the AC3 codec from the Tools section.

After that, you can get a wav file using Goldwave. Load your Avi then select save. Or you can convert it like in this guide: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/91588.php

Thank you so much ZippyP. I downloaded the program headache and clicked on the link that you gave me and followed those directions and now I have a fully functional vcd that works with sound.

Thanks again
