AVi to MPEG (No Sound)

[dpolo]

(I hope this is the correct forum to post this)

I have converted a .avi file to a mpeg using TMPGenc, but my mpeg is converting without sound. The original .avi has sound but the converted mpeg doesn't. I have downloaded every codec known to man (Nimo, Divx 3.11, 4 &5). I have WinDVD software on my CPU and I still can't get any audio. I have even burned the soundless mpg with NERO 5.5 to a SVCD disk hoping the audio would play on my DVD player even though it wouldn't on my CPU. My only assumption is that i'm not setting TMPGenc correctly. Any help to get audio on my conversions would be appreciated.

Note: TMPGEnc is generally incompatible with divx 5.xx codecs. IF you have installed that codec, uninstall it.

Load the avi into Virtualdub and post any errors or prompts you receive as well the "file information." When loading the file into TMPGenc, do you receive an error? When you specify the target video, is the accompanying audio location filed. visit vcdhelp.com for information as well.

AVI to MPEG (No Sound)

Okay, I opened the avi file in vdub and under the audio tab selected avi audio and full processing. Also under the audio tab I selected conversion (The sound is defaulted to 48000Hz, 8 bit precision and stereo channels). When I go to file and select save wav I get the following message.

The requested audio compression is not compatible with the input format. Check that the sampling rate and channel count match those of the requested format.

I tried changing the 48000hz to 441000hz but I get the same error.

I had problems with no sound on this avi file when I first downloaded it, but I installed the Nimo pack and finally got sound working so, I thought the nimo pack would do the same for my TPMGenc converted mpg file.

Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

1) Load the file into VirtualDub

2) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

3) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

Thanks for your help. I got it figured out. I used TMPGenc to convert the avi's sound into a wav.

I Loaded VD and made sure Direct Stream was selected on the Audio tab. Then I selected FIle->Save wav.

After saving the file I renamed the extension to ac3 (audio.wav->audio.ac3).

Downloaded HeadAC3he from here http://www.doom9.org. Loaded the AC3 file and selected the Destination Format=Wav and Resample to 44.1KHz. Then clicked start and it converted the .ac3 into a uncompressed wav file.

Started TMPGEnc and loaded the avi file as video source and the wav file I just made as the audio source.

Everything meshed together and looks\sounds great.
