I downloaded a movie, tried to convert it using TMPGEnc, could not do it. So, I decompressed the audio and tried using TMPGEnc on it again. Did same thing. I will attached the error message I am getting in TMPGEnc.

This is the error I get in VirtuaDub

[jmet]

this is the file info screen in virtuadub

1) You have to either install the Microsoft MPEG4 version3 codec, or use a FourCC changer to change the codec information to that of DivX v.3.11.

2) TMPGEnc cannot handle VBR (Variable Bit Rate) .MP3 audiostreams, such as the one contained in this video. Therefore, simply use VirtualDub to save the audio stream as an Uncompressed PCM (WAV) file as follows:

Load your original .AVI into VirtualDub
From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save WAV" (Enter a new filename with a ".WAV" extender).Click on "OK"

Let us know of your success ;>}

ok did both steps, what do I do now after I have saved the audio as a wav file ?

[setarip]

Load both the .AVI and the newly created .WAV audio file into TMPGEnc...

[jmet]

ok thought that was my next move so I tried that already, I get the same error from virtadub as before . just when I try to load the video part, I can load the wav file I created in the audio button.

[setarip]

You never mentioned - Are you able to PLAY the ORIGINAL .AVI?

[jmet]

yes I can watch the orginal AVI

[setarip]

"I get the same error from virtadub as before ."

More importantly for your purposes, does TMPGEnc now accept both files?

Just for the heck of it, change the original filename to Iceage.avi

[jmet]

No, TMPGNec only accepts the Audio.

Same error after I changed the file name

[jmet]

"I get the same error from virtadub as before ."

Im sorry , it should say " I get the same error from TMPGEnc" when I try to load the avi in the video button.

[setarip]

If, in fact, you've PROPERLY installed the Microsoft MPEG4 version3 codec, I'm at a loss to understand why TMPGEnc will not accept the audio portion of the .AVI.

Just out of curiosity, if you NOW load the .AVI into VirtualDub, does VirtualDub still generate an error - adn, if so, what is the error?

Try the "latest" version of TMPGenc. Visit vcdhelp.com for faq's on TMPGenc.

If you have the divx 5 codec installed, try uninstalling it.

To Batman

Perhaps you're "trying too hard".

"Try the "latest" version of TMPGenc"

Even the VERY oldest version of TMPGEnc (v.11) is capable of handling the video codec involved here, as well as .WAV audio...
