no audio on avi to vcd (mpg)

[Superman1]

I have split a avi file (dvd rip) into 2 and i am using TMPGEnc version 2.58 to convert it to vcd (mpg).

The problem i am having is when i start the conversion it converts the video but no audio and i have set it to system video/audio.

i don't know what to do to make the audio work aswel.

n e help is apriciated

If the audiostream of the .AVI is Variable Bit Rate (VBR) .MP3, TMPGE will not accept it for processing...

Yo dude,
I had the same problem, so i was looking at the forum, and fortunately noticed a solution:

Get VirtualDub and open ur .avi file in that program, then select "save wav" from the file tab and type the file name of what u wanna call it (preferaly the same name) but REMEMBER to write ".wav" at the end of the file name.
Hope this helps, did for me;)

Hey thanx alot, it does work...

But now im having another problem lol.

When i bring the avi file and the wav file together with TMPGEnc it works for a bit then i get some kind of error where it says

read error at adress blah blah

or read error at P3package.dll

does n e one know why or how to fix this

[setarip]

"or read error at P3package.dll"

have you installed the REQUIRED companion VFAPI plugin?

[Superman1]

where do u get that from

[setarip]

The very same place from which you downloaded TMPGEnc...

[Superman1]

Well i found it on kazaa

do u know a website or something

[setarip]

Click on the DVD Digest link or the DivX Digest link at the top of this page...

i have version 2.58 of tmpgenc and i went to options environmental settings and i see the tab with vfapi

so i guess i already have this plug in

[setarip]

Two points:

1) If you're using a valid version of 2.58, the error should refer to "P4package.dll" and not "P3package.dll

2) The first valid version of TMPGEnc to include the VFAPI file in the download was v.2.59

[Superman1]

well i have both versions right now

2.58 i got from kazaa
and 2.59 i got from the tmpgenc website
and they both have the vafpi plugin

[setarip]

have you doubleclicked on the VFAPI installation batch file (.BAT extender) to install it?

[Superman1]

i dont have this file (.bat)

[setarip]

Included in your v.2.58 download, there should be a file named "TMPGEncVFP_Install.bat"

(In the v.2.59 package, it gets installed automatically)
