Temgenc problem

[Gobo]

When ever I load a .AVI file I have into Temgenc It only loads it in for the video part and not the audio. The file is AC3 I belive what should I do?

In TMPGEnc
Option-->Environmental setting-->VFAPI plug-in.
Set DirectShow Multimedia File Reader to highest priority.
This should accept the ac3 as audiosource.

Thanks for the help But I have another question. Every Time I make the movie from .AVI to MPEG2 THe audio and video are out of sync. The .AVI is fine but the mpeg is off for about 3 seconds from the video. IS there a way to avoid/fix this?

I Strongly suggest you extract the Audio from the AVI, and decode it to an uncompressed WAV, and then use the WAV as your Audio Input, will make encoding faster, and with less chances for A/V sync problems.

I will try your Idea, what program can decode it to an uncompressed WAV? Also I tried making VCD's of the movie and they turn out fully in sync the problem only happens when im making the .avi into mpeg2.

are these settings bad??
Super Video-CD NTSC Film (MPEG-2 480x480 23.976fps CBR 1681kbps, Layer-2 44100Hz 224kbps)

Oh, you used Film encoding, i've seen alot of trouble with that in the past, how about you try encoding as a regular NTSC instead ? just for the fun of it, encode to regular NTSC instead of NTSC Film, and see if you get the A/V sync problem.

PS: You can use VirtualDub to extract the Audio, and then use WinAMP to make an Uncompressed WAV from it.

"what program can decode it to an uncompressed WAV"

If your audiosource is .ac3 as you mentioned in a previous post,you can try BeSweet for the AC3->WAV convertion.

You can make an uncompressed WAV with Virtualdub, i didn't have to use Winamp, though you could if you wanted. Set the settings for your audio correctly:

Set your audio to Full Processings Mode
Go to Audio -> Compression, and select no processing.
After that, Audio -> Conversion and i thought you should set that to 44100, or if it is that already, set it to No Change.

Then goto "File" and "Save Wav". If this is for a whole divx movie it could be around 1gig but it will be fine then.
