I can't convert certain video

[Shadowofthedark]

I have a 2 video files. At first I wasn't able to hear any audio but then, admin told me to download acfilter codec. I converted it to mpeg2 using tmpgenc but the converted file has no audio. How do I convert this with audio? Can someone help please?

1. does it have audio when played back on the pc?

2. post ALL the file info from virtualdub/mod under audio AND video please.

shadowofthedark, if you want a solution for your problem, you need to answer our questions, particularly LT's number 2, which i asked in your previous thread..

At first I wasn't able to hear any audio but then, admin told me to download acfilter codec.

So do those original videos now play with audio?

[tigerman8u]

after you installed acfilter do you have audio on the original file

d/l Gspot (free) and load the file in it. Gspot will tell you what codec/s are needed to play the audio/video and if they are installed on your pc

[doit2it]

Are you sure you TMPGE didn't save the audio as a separate WAV audio file?

@lt. columbo
here's the file



It has audio now after installing acfilter

@doit2it
I was able to play it, but before installing ac3filter, it didn't have any sound then

@tigerman8u
I'm already okay with acfilter, but my real problem is after converting it with tmpgenc, it doesn't have any audio, where as I can hear the audio in the original file. I've already followed lt. columbo's suggestion before in putting the direct show multimedia filter in the highest priority.

[LT. Columbo]

your problem is the ac3 sound. sometimes ac3 won't go through even with directshow raised. simply follow the steps outlined in this guide:

you can convert it to wav, or demux the ac3 and use it at the authoring stage.

@Shadowofthedark

So, can you tell us if you're sure that TMPGE didn't save the audio as a separate WAV audio file? Does the MPEG2 file you created have an extension of MPG or M2V?

[LT. Columbo]

that would be the case yes, if PCM audio was chosen at the start of the wizard, giving "elementary streams". was it shadowofthedark?

[Shadowofthedark]

Let me get this.

1) First I need AC3Fix and install.
2) Then I go to streams--streams list--then demux it.
3) Then I go to tmpgenc, Pick the video and then pick the sound that I demux.

Is this right?

@Shadowofthedark

Would you please answer my question?

[Shadowofthedark]

Nope, there were no other files after TMPgenc converted it, although the file is mpeg2, extension mpg.

[LT. Columbo]

no, you need to convert the audio to wav first. check the guide again. you can demux later and use the ac3 if you want when you author.

[Shadowofthedark]

I demuxed the audio with wav, then tmpgenc it using the video file and the demuxed wav file. But the end product still doesn't have any sound. What's with ac3 anyway?
