How do I burn a wav/avi movie with nero?

[lingoguysw5]

I've downloaded a divx movie whose video I've converted to avi using virtualdub(no audio) and have saved the audio as a wav file. Now I need to burn them together hopefully the synch will be more aligned. Now the problem being is with nerovision 5.5 there is not an option for wav files supported, even if I overcome this obstacle how do I burn the files together. Does this call for multiplexing or mux. If so how does this work? Any ideas much appreciated.

The best bet is to use TMPGEnc Plus to convert from avi to mpeg2 format, you may need to multiplex the sound. Then use TMPGEnc DVD Author to convert from mpeg2 to VOB format, DVD Compliant. It should then be burnt as a data disc in a VIDEO_TS folder in Record Now.

Nero has the capability to convert avi files to mpeg while creating a vcd disc. Drag and drop the file to the vcd screen. When you go to burn the disc, it will automatically start encoding the file. It works a little faster than TMPGenc. 80 minutes of video takes about an hour depending on the speed of your system.

True, but most will agree that Nero's quality of encoding is pretty useless compared to TMPGEnc. Its good for beginners i suppose, but thats about it.

How do I multiplex the avi and wav files?

It seems like a long winded process a wav/avi movie with virtualdub tmpgenc and nero. I saw you mentioned DVD authoring. I don't own a dvd recorder does this matter if I am to somehow convert the file from mpeg2 to a VOB file. It seems awfully complicated just to make a divx movie with mpeg sound. I still need to understand what multiplexing is and how to do it.

[Oriphus]

Well, multiplexing is a feature availabe to you in the options of TMPGEnc. It allows you to multiplux sound that has been de-mulitplexed when the conversion was originally done. It is a long winded process though. To do this method you will really need to have a DVD Writer (recorders are the terms given to standalones) to put it on to DVD.

If you speak abaout multiplexing it seems like you wanted to create a DVD or (S)VCD, cause it's one way to repair a video where te sound is out of sync.
If you have an out-of-sync-avi and want an synced avi you don't have to do such complicated things.
Load the avi in virtualdub, set audio and video to directstreamcopy and change the interleaving-value in the audio-menue untill the sound is in sync. Then save the whole thing with an other filename.

If you can't solve the problem with the interleaving, you need to use the advanced filtering in the audio-menue. Then you will have to reencode the sound.

[Oriphus]

Does this only apply to sound that is out by a constant ratio throughout. When its out by a progressively larger amount, this is un-repairable. Is that right?

If the difference increases as the movie plays:

From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select framerate - and select "Change so video and audio durations match"

Cheers Setarip, wasnt aware of that
